| how to meet people in new city?
Posted: 11/7/2009 3:35:49 PM | I am graduated and out of college, and my new job doesn't really lend itself to meeting anyone new.
Not JUST to meet people to date, but even friends. I just feel a little weird going to a bar by myself and talking to people. In the last city I was in, it wasn't too awkward to go talk to people since I could go return to my crowd after saying hi. But if I don't know anyone, I feel as if I will be that annoying new guy that won't leave them alone, or just sitting around waiting for an opportunity to arise to start a conversation.
Worse yet is there is only 1 bar of that I know of that is mostly a younger crowd :( So also limited as to places I can try and meet people...
Any advice appreciated!!! | |

Ladies love good dancers, and if you can salsa, even better.
And if you can bachata--- you're IN | |

I'd give that bar you were talking about a chance too. | |

Join group activities; bicycling, hiking, running, gym, dancing, etc....that will allow you to network with others............. | |

Posted: 11/7/2009 4:36:01 PM | | OP, your profile say that you like biking, hiking, dancing, road trips - thanks to the wonders of the web, you can find groups in those interests. Go, have fun doing what you already like to do, and you'll meet people on a friendly and easy basis. You can also look for groups and classes for things you might like to try - maybe you've always been interested in gourmet Thai cooking, for example. As Sabrosura says, it's networking - which is not just for expanding one's business horizons, but the personal horizons as well. | |

Posted: 11/8/2009 11:56:52 AM | I would avoid the bars.... I have had some nice conversations with people standing in line at the bank and even giving blood is a good one....anytime where people have to sit and wait and have nothing else better to do | |

In a big city, nobody knows if you are new or not new. | |

Posted: 11/9/2009 7:41:38 AM | | I used to think like this too, but then i discovered women are everywhere!! I even ended up talking to one that was giving me the eye at the bank the other day. Supermarkets and gas stations are good too, but you have to be careful not to come on looking like some creepy stalker though, the stalkers like to meet new obsessions at the same places we do too!! Usually I wait to approach until I get a smile or a hello from them. Women today can spot a creepy guy a mile away, and they can tell if you are a nice guy. | |

Posted: 11/9/2009 4:49:10 PM | Perhaps you didn't understand what I meant... There is only one bar that I know of that is for a younger crowd (20's-30's) as opposed to a middle aged biker bar where everyone is about to retire.
Dont know what trolling is....
Thanks for the replies! I think I will check out a rec center and see what I cant find.
Oh and one more thing, the whole creeper thing is just UNBELIEVABLY ridiculous with women these days! There are creeps out there, but most guys that get that label are not. I have had a lot of friends (myself a time or two) be considered creepers that are everything but. For example: we went out as a group and my friends girlfriend (known her for years) brought along some friends. Hung out, had fun. Me and one of them flirted all night and even got her number, then later I heard that she thought I was creepy because I was dancing with everyone on the dance floor and wasn't drunk (I was DD)!!!! I mean seriously wtf?
Sorry for my soapbox stand but seriously people, get over yourself. | |
