Russians reveal where they prefer to search for love

About one in two Russians (48%) think that it is better to look for their "other half" in their friend circle, according to a poll held by the Russian Public Opinion Research Center in the run-up to St. Valentine’s Day.

"One can also meet their future partner at work or at school (30%), in a social club or a workshop (15%), or even on the street (15%)," the polling center informs.

The share of those who think that love can be found online has reached 12%, while 5% of those polled said that they are now in a relationship that began on the Internet.

"Three-quarters of Russians have already met their other half," TASS cited the poll as saying.

Those who are currently in a relationship claim that they have met their boyfriend or girlfriend among friends (27%), while 24% say that they have found love at work or at school. About 7% of Russians claim that they have met their significant other on the street.
