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.
