i usually meet new people every one months.

yes I do meet new people in weddings or any parties but I don't talk too much.

I usually meet new people. When I go to supermarket, go to new class or go on street.

really? when you work as a surveyor engineer in civil projects, probably you meet new employee and staff in each part of the project. especially if you work in Iran you see Afghan worker in different works groups certainly. furthermore, if you should sign some documents, you can meet a different Contractor.

I meet new people every two months.

I meet new people frequently, because of my job as a doctor.

cool, I luv doctors but not the job :D

I hardly ever meet new people

I can't say any time correctly but I think each Friday. We have a friendly meeting on every Friday.
