How to meet people after move?

I'm making a HUGE move across the country, and I will be out of work/school for the first 2 months, what's the best way to meet new people in the city? Is stuff like meeting new people on websites lame and dangerous? I am really shy, and I have no money to go out and do things that would help... :( poor me :(

I would try to join groups that are free or nearly free. Churches are almost always open to new people. It is easier to get acquainted in a small church, usually. AA and Al anon are usually small and personal, if you have those needs. Adult ed classes cost little and can put you in touch with people with whom you share an interest.





It usually doesn't cost anything to volunteer, and so that is a good way to meet people. The folks at the library can help you connect with organizations where you can work as a volunteer with others. You could volunteer at your political club now as activity there is warming up. You could also ask at a temporary work agency for a little job for the first 2 months where you could meet new people of the kind that you like.





When you meet new people it helps if you can tell a couple of things about yourself that are unusual or special to you.. For example, you could tell why you came clear across the country and what kind of new friends you are hoping to make. This will help potential new friends know how to connect with you better.
Reply:well go to a church or mall somewhere you are around alot of people and see what happens
Reply:I wouldn't do the web thing. You should be able to meet people in every day life! Just be confident! It'll work!
Reply:While meeting people on the Internet is a big thing now, I personally do think it is lame and dangerous. Less dangerous for men than women, but I think it is lame. Sorry.





I am shy and reserved too though, so I understand your problem. First, I would think about the kind of people you want to meet. If you want to meet people to party with, go to a dance club or hip bar scene and mingle. If you want to meet people with similar values and beliefs, join a church group and attend Sunday services. If you want to meet athletic people, join a gym or check out the local walking/bike trails.





The biggest thing is to put yourself out there and talk to people that you see. Just start by offering to help someone, comment or compliment someone, ask directions and/or questions (even if you already know the answer.





Good luck.

Reply:sounds like you might need to get a job. That could let you meet new people other wise you might need a sugar mama
Reply:Online dating isn't lame--just be careful, 'cause it can be dangerous (but so is meeting random guys in a bar at times), though decent guys are more numerous than creepy guys (even if it doesn't always seem that way). Look around for free stuff to do in the area. Find ways to do things you're passionate about. You'll find like-minded people that way.





Church or other worship communities can help with meeting people, also. You might be able to find a part time job, too.





Good luck! It's always hard starting out fresh, but it can be really liberating too!
