And having sex in a conference room isn't nearly dirty enough to be one of my fantasies.

Life is risky and only a fool acts on their passions while actually at their place of employment (other than some Congressional staffers). That said, most folks meet those they date in/through school activities...and later...at work. It is where they spend the most of their waking hours...and get to know others well.

Meeting people through online dating is dangerous and more for hooking up. not finding a life partner. Most adults have very little time outside of work where they spend time with others and even lesser time among peers. Both school and then work provide relatively large pools of the opposite sex where you already have a lot in common and know fairly well.
