They say love is patient, love is kind. How much more patience will I need before I find my version of happily (n)ever after?
Living in 2019 means unearthing the least terrifying photo of yourself from 2009 for a #10yearchallenge, with the hope that the person you've been stalking will put a 'like' on it or comment with a 😍.
Because we know how tough it is to meet new friends and connect with like-minded folks, we've summed up 5 ways and places to expand your social circle. And who knows... love may just be around the corner.
1. Coworking and werking it
When we're spending more than half our day at work, we should really enjoy the company of those around us.
Check out one of our coworking spaces, sign up for a community event, network (for work or leisure) and expand your social circle.
Of course, we are not turning up for every single networking session to meet potential dates... but, it doesn't hurt to keep an open mind and get acquainted with new friends. It is a good opportunity to interact with fellow changemakers, inspire each other and exchange some good vibes!
Here's how our 'office of the future' strategy will shake up your workplace culture.
2. Go have fun, together
