d0nnivain Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Every few days somebody else posts that they can't meet anybody so I thought it might be helpful to start a thread where members can share tips on meeting new people. These are mine: * tell friends & family you are open to being introduced to new people * go to a reunion of some sort * look around in your daily life: who gets coffee where you do? Who is in the elevator at work? Don't date people in your company just the building * join a MeetUp group * get involved in a hobby; if you love Sci Fi go to Comic Con for example * join a co-ed sports team * volunteer doing something you enjoy. Do you like animals? Walk a shelter dog. Do you like theater? Become an usher. Do you like art? Volunteer at a museum. * The 2016 presidential election is getting underway. I have met tons of amazing people at political events so get involved & roll up your sleeves for your favorite candidate, national or local. * Take or teach a class. If you pick teach you can't get involved with the students if it's a for credit academic thing (you're the professor) but if it's adult education there are no such restrictions. * Go to networking / educational events for your business / industry * Go speed dating * Throw a singles dinner party with 5-6 same sex friends. Each person has to bring a single member of the opposite sex they adore but don't want to date: sibling, cousin, childhood friend, co-worker. You all have dinner of cocktails together & see if anybody clicks. You know everybody is vouched for as a quality person. * Take a singles cruise * look up singles groups in your area. There used to be one around here Leashes & Lovers. You could bring your dog. My large Dalmatian got me way more attention then the women who showed up with dogs in their purses though. * Summer's coming. Do a share house. Also works as a ski house in the winter Remember attitude means a lot. Get off your computer. Go outside. Look up from your phone. SMILE! I can't stress that enough. be friendly, do not walk around like you have a black cloud over your head What has worked for other people? 1
