I have several good friends who met at work and were later married, to go on to enjoy long and happy marriages. I don't really see anything wrong with it. My ex husband and I worked at the same place once, and that wasn't an issue, either. As for where else to meet people, I have a few single friends to go to various meet-up groups. Munches aren't the only kind of meet up group out there, there's one for practically every lifestyle, I think. Book clubs, cooking clubs, travel groups, techie groups, one friend goes to a meet-up group for people who follow the Law of Attraction type of thinking, there's a Zen group, a gardening group, a dance group, a sewing group, a hiking group, a writing group, photography group, investing groups, vegitarian groups, and so on. In my town there's a used book store that, every Thursday night, hosts a gathering with light appetizers and wine, for anyone who wants to show up, meet, talk, etc. There's a local bar that has a once-a-month "tasting" where they pair up the featured alcohol with food. Recently it was martini night. Not long before that it was wine night, and so on. But then I live in a fairly metropolitan area, so there are many options here. But I'd imagine if you Googled "Meet up groups" in your city, you might find something. Sure keeps my friends busy!
