According to a survey from Harlequin Enterprises, 

36% of Canadian Women met their partner through a friend

?Seventy-three per cent of Canadians believe the best way to meet new
people is through friends, proving that networking doesn't just apply
to business anymore. One in three Canadian women (36%) met their
current or last significant other through a friend.?


20% met their spouse on the job

Despite the fact that less than one percent of Canadians surveyed
think the workplace is a good place to meet someone, in truth, 20%
actually met their significant other while on the job.

40% of men and women polled still believe the best way to meet someone is by chance

they believe weddings are great places to meet other singles, and 91
percent of survey respondents believe it's a good idea to go stag to a
wedding ? although they don't expect a relationship to last long.
Among Californian singles, only 3 percent are still with the person
they met at a wedding, while Minneapolis men reported a better success
rate at 23 percent."
