Almost never, because I'm shy

I often meet new people when I am in work. Most of the people is my pupil's parents because I am a teacher.

easy

I don't meet new people often because I works in a University. So, mostly I meet my friends, colleagues, and students. But sometimes when I visit to other departments, I meet new people.

i usually don't meet new people i don't know how to deal with new people

I work at my home and usually I don't meet new people

In fact, I meet new people everyday due to my job because I am working at sales marketing in the tourism field in Egypt and that make me friendly to my customers, though.

I meet new people every day because of my job.

As a sales person I meet new people in our factory or at some big conferences. Sometime I met new people in the gym, when we select the same exercise course maybe we could have the same interest and have the same topic to talk with.
