Bee back with a controversial thread
I recently went out to buy groceries and ended up meeting someone in the supermarket. Long story short, we went home together later that night.
Well, it's been three weeks now, and I've since seen this person on three separate occasions. So it seems like I met my latest love interest in a Tesco?!
How do you meet most of your paramours?

Other slightly less unusual ways I've met people in the past have been:
School
University
Work
Gym/a yoga class
They used to teach me
Friend or Friends of friends
Travelling
Public transport
Coffee shop
Nightclub/bar
Some kind of dating app/online

There's always forums, of course. (Which fall under 'online', but they aren't the kind of stank people are normally thinking of.)

Vocabulary lesson from Hermes! According to Merriam-Webster, "stank" is a Dialectal British term for a pond or pool, or a drainage ditch. This has been a vocabulary lesson from Hermes! (and also, B. , it's bold of you to assume i have any love interests  ) |

Yes, that must be what I meant.
Another possibility is that it was not actually I who wrote it.

I don't.  In the past tho: School; university; friend of a friend; (ex)roommate of friend. I have no idea how I would go about asking for a date with someone I just met at a supermarket without feeling like a boob. Good on ya, Bee |

I so badly want to be competent with dialectal British. I was born in the wrong country. Edit: Another possibility is that it was not actually I who wrote it. Hermes, you're confusing me. Is stank another of dear Tragedy's censors? So far, we've got, bear, stank, ickle. The last is dialectal, England according to M-W. |

Is stank another of dear Tragedy's censors? Yes indeed. 'ickle' is different from the others, being a permanent censor for an offensive word, of which we have a few. (There used to be a list of them somewhere, but I'm not sure where it's gone.) Though it used to be 'potato', and I never fully grasped the reason why it was changed. |

I don't blame you bear. I vividly remember my first encounter with TBB's smell and deckle edges. It was magical.

My past relationships have all been with my (once) friends. This is probably because I am a bit standoffish to strangers, a word which here means “has a resting b1tch face".
