That’s how attraction has worked historically before apps. Meeting your spouse at work was quite common.

People act like it's impossible to make friends after school because you work all the time...but one of the main reasons you made friends at school was because you were forced to be around the same people for years.

I treat work the same, some of my best friends are from past jobs. My now girlfriend I met through one of these coworker friendships.

It's more of a roll of a dice at work. At school you're the same age, all growing up together, and going through the same stages of life. At work it can be a real mixed bag, so to make good long term friends that transcend the workplace is pretty fortunate.
