Where can I meet people?

I tend to be very reserved with new people. Though I'm not really shy, I have difficulty connecting at first and am not really sure where to meet people (I'm what you may call "socially challenged"). I'm a single, 24-year-old woman, and I'd like to meet other singles, both men and women, for friendship or, possibly, for romance. I don't drink, so nightclubs, bars, and such are not that appealing to me. I also have a limited budget, so I'd rather try something that is either free or relatively inexpensive. I'd be very grateful for any good ideas you can come up with.

Where can I meet people?
Hi June





There was a website created just for people like you. It is full of ideas. Not only where to meet people, but how to meet people. Just know that your not alone, there are thousands of people who dont meet people easily. The fact that you do not meet people easily does not mean that there is anything wrong with you. It just means that you have not yet learned how.





The essence of the website is that, meeting people, is a skill. Like any other skill it takes development, work and practice. This website gives tips on how to go about that. Check it out and let us know your comments about it!

Reply:go for a walk in the park, or read a book there regularly...meet the soccer team. or join the team. extra points if u bring a puppy! :) i have the same problem as you...all in all hangout in public free spaces. or go to museums...they often have afternoon mixers...check their schedules...im starting to do that...or go to art galleries...they are free, and lots of grat people go there that want to meet new people. you will get the social setting of a party without having to drink. good luck!
Reply:Church singles groups.Start going to churches, find one you like that has alot of people your age attending and join their singles group.Its a great way to meet trustworthy friendly people even if some of them are naive.
