How can I meet new people? p.s. don't say online.?

I mean, I used to meet people all the time everywhere.. in coffee shops, bars, parties, work, walking down the street literally!! I even used to wonder why some people have trouble meeting people!!!! But somehow for the last 10 months I have not met anybody that I would date. I'm not more picky or anything. I simply don't see anybody around anywhere!! hmm maybe I was ungrateful and karma is punishing me!! just kiddin.. please help :)

How can I meet new people? p.s. don't say online.?
Sit outside some convenience store with a paper cup.
Reply:It's all about timing,, I know what you are going through.
Reply:easy, what are you interested in? join a club that deals with that and you'll be instantly introduced to people that you share a common interest with. good luck
Reply:Get to know even people you wouldn't date becuse they might know somebody you would like to meet.
Reply:LOL...I think we all go through that. Join a singles club or check out church. You will meet more quality people there -vs- a bar.
Reply:try to have a vacation. go in some places. may be there u'l meet someone. goodluck!
Reply:I have no idea, but I can sympathize. It is harder to meet people once you get out of college. I have joined a young professionals club run through the local chamber of commerce. i can't say that I have really met a lot of people, but it is nice to talk to people outside of a bar.





Try to join some clubs or take a class. I have enrolled in a belly dancing class. It's all women, but that's a start. . . i have been thinking about volunteering for habit for Humanity, cause you know guys like to build things. . .
Reply:sometimes you meet people in the strangest and most unsuspecting places, like the grocery store, or church, or walking your dog in the doggie park, maybe the movies or the library, just go some place you enjoy being and would like that same person to enjoy, atleast you know you have something in common right from the start!!
Reply:nice to meet you, im kenny











ps. you met someone new, congrats!
Reply:Did you stop going to bars or parties? Maybe thats your problem lol.
Reply:hey wen you least expecting it,,, hes going to be right in front of you , try library's, malls grocery's stores, put the glasses back on and pay attention to your intuition, good-luck 18teen year old daughter is going thew the same thing shes the picture on here sexy,,,, i tell her all the time it will happen again , but i have to tell her that i don't have a Chrystal ball,,,,
Reply:Take one of your hobbies or interests and find a way to enjoy it socially with other people.





Just as an example, if you are really into animals - go volunteer to work an animal shelter. If you are interested in drawing - take an art class. Like underwater basket weaving? Take a class in it. Force yourself to get out and socialize in a constructive way. You'll be guaranteed to meet people with similiar interests so you'll be one step ahead in becoming friends with them.
Reply:Get out and about. Take a class, take some music lessons. Join a gym and take some classes there like spinning or kickboxing. Walk your dog in a park, or sign up for an obedience class. Go shopping with friends. Go out with friends, meeting friends of friends is always easy. Do you like live music? Going out to bars to watch bands is another great way to meet people. Essentially just get out of the house and do what you enjoy and you will meet people with the same interests.
Reply:Have you ever started a conversation with a random person? Try it. You never know who he knows.
Reply:maybe they think your taken... thats my problem i cant find anyone because everyone thinks i am taken so no one seems to bother. maybe the way you carry your self is telling people that you are not available
Reply:maybe your standards got higher try finding a creative hobby %26amp; joining a group based on that
Reply:Go walk your dog...the hounds travel in packs.
Reply:well, don't give up. That's the first thing.





Secondly, keep on being friendly to everybody. Try to start a conversation with people in any and every situation. Standing waiting in the grocery store line, in the park, etc. Really wherever you are you can start a simple conversation with anybody. That person might not be the person you are interested in dating but others around you will see you as a positive, confident person. People like happy people, so your attitude will get you attention from unexpected places.





After my divorce, I did exactly what I said above and I made a lot of new friends. To me it was like training. I would talk to anyone and make conversation with really no intention of asking somebody out. Just practising my social skills. Sometimes I would ask girls out that I really didn't like or care if they said yes or no. It was just practise. In almost every case, I had a pleasant and enjoyable conversation with a stranger and I felt happier after.
Reply:well why don't you try not going to your favorite haunts and oing to places you don't often frequent
Reply:Book store is best :)
Reply:stop trying. go different places; maybe its just the fact you already met everybody at the places you go. Also, talk to the ppl you wouldn't date; because you could get to know them and they be sweeter than you ever imagine. I met my husband when I decided I was going to just stay single for a while and not worry about dating. lol. That didn't last long, now I am happily married to him and we have two wonderful little girls. We met at church. But, you could also meet somebody at the gas station; grocery store, library; or anywhere. Don't wear a watch and ask them what time it is. Or just make up some lame question just to start a conversation. These are just tips I used before getting married. Good Luck!! Don't rush things; he will come when the time is right. Only God knows when the right time is and who it is; but you will also know when you meet him.
Reply:When you least expect it the one will find you. In the mean time....check out a churg or a singles club....better quality of people there.
Reply:Dont look only to meet people just for the sake of dating. Meet people to widen your circle of friends. The more people you hang around, the better your chance of finding a spark with one of them.





By the way, meeting people online isnt such a bad idea, even though Id never do it myself.
Reply:join a group
Reply:just be yourself. You will mr.right for you when the time comes. you meet the best people when you are not looking for it. Just go out and have fun with friends I guarentee something good will come along for you.
Reply:10 months is a long time. Like one person suggested, join a group where u can easily find people to talk to. Or maybe you have changed thats y u didnt meet anyone.
Reply:college :)
