Where is the best place to meet people in Kyiv and why?
Yevgeniy Beloshenko
student
“I like meeting new people, and as for me, festivals are the best place to meet interesting people and get acquainted.
I travel a lot and don’t spend much time in one place. At festivals, everybody there has common interests, so it’s like you’re already connected.”
Sergiy Omelchenko
engineer
“I usually meet new people on the streets or in social networks.
Social networks are the easiest way for me because you can find out what are the interests of the person and find some common ground to get acquainted.
As for people on the streets, you know nothing about them, so it’s sometimes hard to start conversation and make friends.”
Nastya Skrypka
student
“I usually meet new people through the Internet. People there are more open.
They are not afraid that anyone will judge them. So it’s easier to meet with anyone you want and not to feel shy.
During summer, I also like getting acquainted on the streets because people are more cheerful and open, and spend more time outside.”
Olena Pokas
homemaker
“I’m meeting new people mostly through social networks, especially through dating websites, because I spend a lot of my time on the Internet.
I met my boyfriend with the help of a dating website, so I’m sure now that it’s the best place to meet new people.”
Emilia Dubrovska
pensioner
“At my age, I’m not making new acquaintances any more.
To meet new people you should be involved in some social activity or visit some places like cinemas and theatres.
Today, it is way too expensive for me. When I was young, the best place to meet new people was at work.”
