How to meet people in a new area?

I'm going to be moving to a new area in the near future and I don't really know anyone there. I'm with a partner so not interested in lonely hearts or anything, but I want to be able to meet new friends once I'm there.


Other than joining evening classes (which everyone always suggests and I will do that anyway) does anyone have any tips for meeting people in a new place? I'd prefer to be able to meet people around my own age (mid-twenties) and they don't tend to hang out at evening classes so much!

How to meet people in a new area?
Go to the local library they have a notice board for local events %26amp; clubs or ask the librarian whats happening locally.


Have a house warming party %26amp; invite the neighbours.


Ask the landlord/lady at the local pub.


hope this helps, be friendly %26amp; enjoy the move
Reply:you can meet others @ a new job , do you plan to be @ the same job or a new one when you move ? Other than that all I can think of is church .
Reply:Hi!! I hope you can really feel good with your friends and your new area... Wish you the best!!! I'm from Mexico, so I think you are not interested in friends here... If you ever want a friend, IM HERE FOR YOU!!


Be happy dude!!!
Reply:I have no idea.
Reply:just be friendly

Will I meet people?

I am 17 and not in school, and have just moved to a new town. I want to get a job to meet new people. I was figuring working at a fastfood restaurant(Burger King,McDonalds,Wendy's etc) to meet people around my age. My question is if anyone here around age 17-22 has met friends working at a fast food restaurant. I have certain "interests" that I think I will find I have in common with the typical fast food worker. Thank you :)





P.S. I AM NOT GOING BACK TO SCHOOL, SO BEFORE YOU GUYS GET OFF ON THAT DON'T. UNLESS YOU HAVE A DIRECT RESPONSE TO THE QUESTION ASKED DO NOT ANSWER.

How do I meet new people when I am very reserved?

How do I meet new people when I am very reserved?


Recently all of my friends moved and now I have no one. I am reserved and having a hard time meeting people?


I am 20 and have not had a boyfriend for almost 1 year. I am very reserved and have a hard time opening up to people..even my close friends. I am worried too!However I hate going out to bars. How can I meet new people from scratch? This is very hard for me. It's like I want to reach out to people however I feel it is easier to turn inward and become a hermit. I am not lonely but I wouldn't mind meeting new people. I also have trust issues from being let down many times in the past. I plan to move to San Diego in about 2 years from now so that I can start from scratch.

How do I meet new people when I am very reserved?
A lot of us are shy and reserved but don't let that stop you. Join clubs, hobbies, anything that might possibly interest you. Even some churches have young adult groups. It doesn't take much to ask a person about themselves. Most people don't mind sharing about what they like or do with their lives. It doesn't take much to make a nice comment on something you notice or like about a person. It doesn't take much to ask questions about a hobby you're leaning or something else you're interested in. Get over yourself and get out. The world could be missing out by not knowing someone like you. Good luck
Reply:Doing what you have been doing does not work. Do something different.
Reply:Hang out with family friends so you can meet their friends, or go to a club.





look up people from your area on myspace and get to know them there first, and if you feel comfortable, meet them in person. it's a LOT easier to open up and get to know someone when you're not verbally talking to them or talking in person. :]
Reply:What do you love? Ghost hunting? Writing? Hiking? Astronomy? Religion?





Whatever you love there is a group, likely in your area, and if you join you may run into your soulmate...





Plus, the good thing about joining a group is it will take some of the pressure off you.
Reply:try to be a bit more outgoing.

How can I meet new people?

I go to a small new catholic school, I am a sophomore and the highest grade level thus far. It makes it really hard to meet new people. I go to this club event every month or so, and i meet people there but its also small and it is rarely local. I go to the local mall/ movies, but usually everyone has their own little groups and people don't talk to other people there unless they already know them. I don't want to hook up with people online, I think that's pretty lame. The kind of people I want to meet are relatively smart, nice, fun people. Any ideas on how to meet new people?

How can I meet new people?
the library? um join a sport like a travel sport. join a club. do intraschool activities.
Reply:there is this place called nerds arus
Reply:at school during class is a great way, joining clubs like you did was another.


just join in on conversations and group projects that will usually get you in a friend mode if you talk to them like friendly banter.


Best places to meet new people?

Where are some places I can go and meet new people? I don't really see bars and clubs as the ideal place to meet someone new and have a real conversation because distractions and misleading intentions.





Honestly, many of the people who I've met in my life up to today have turned out to be pathetic friends or so-called friends turned into acquaintances, and I think they are rather annoying (they probly think I am too). I guess its because I've never been much of a social cat, but I'm changing that about myself now. Where can I go to meet new people? I need to associate myself with people who aren't party-animals 24/7 and actually have some sense of vision for their future, direction, and success/goals. That will help me go down the right path too. Thanks.

Best places to meet new people?
Stop looking for them. Find a hobby or activity you enjoy doing %26amp; become more active in it (biking, kayaking, painting, wine tasting, it doesn't matter). Once you stop trying to look for people and just enjoy being yourself you won't seem so desperate and will automatically make new aquaintences.
Reply:Try a club with similar hobby or interests to yours, a gym, sports club...or church... a singles meeting you can find people with goals and interests....but i understand your struggle too much people without goals or direction in life...good luck!


Why do people try to meet people online..........?

I mean, isn't that a bad sign if you have to meet someone online when you don't even know what they look like or what they are really like outside of the cyberworld? Ive heard stories about people falling in love online, and i just find that a little screwy, why wouldn't you just meet someone in real life, see, thats it, if you can't meet someone in real life that why would anyone in cyberland want too? Im not trying to be mean, i just wonder if im the only one that thinks that, realistically speaking, what are the odds of actually meeting someone you would really like, like that, online? I just wouldn't feel good about myself, and to anyone that has met someone online, congrats, but i want to know how comfortable you are with it? Im really not as mean as this probobly sounds, sorry if i offend anyone!

Why do people try to meet people online..........?
Think about it this way. There are 6 BILLION people on Earth. How many of them do you think you are going to bump into on the street in your town? What if "the one" lives just 100 miles away? How would you meet them? All the internet does is widen your universe. If you have a conversation here that is interesting, the only difference is you can't "see" one another. If the person is interesting enough though, you go to meet them. Then, the relationship becomes just like any other one.





You can meet weirdos in the mall too, you know.
Reply:I met someone online, the sweetest, most enchanting, %26amp; wonderful woman. If I am lucky enough to spend the rest of my life w/her, I'll be the happiest guy on earth. And, since I found her 600 miles away, the odds are we would have NEVER met if it weren't for the Internet. And it wasn't a dating site. Report It

Reply:Meeting people online is just getting friends


afterall. If they get serious and get married, I wish them luck!
Reply:I think "dating" on-line does have it's benefits. Obviously you can be fooled on-line, but it does open up the playing field a little. Instead of the same people you see day in and day out in your town you can meet people from.. I don't know... ummm... Northeast Ohio. I haven't really explored on-line dating in much detail, but wouldn't it be cool to meet and be attracted to someone that lived across the country? So there's pros's and con's to both.
Reply:YOU'RE RIGHT
Reply:The odds are against you, but it does happen..





It happened to me.





Really it wasn't a 'dating' situation for us. We kind of just fell inlove. I honestly don't know how I came to love her but I did. We'd talk a lot online. She became close, and I just began to love her.. We talk on the phone now a lot, we've been talking on the phone for months now. We want to meet because it'd be nice to finally hold her and we could be with eachother...





It was also nice.. Some people, well, a lot of people, judge me on my looks.. I'm not the best looking by far.. But with her, she could only see my personality.. So it's not something just for how good they look... I feel so close to her even though we live miles and miles away.
Reply:Well, it gives people an opportunity to find exactly what they're looking for, without going to a smoky bar. You can also ditch people you're not interested in without doing anything personal and hurtful. There's no immediate face to face, so you don't have to be nice for sympathy's sake.
Reply:I suppose people who try to meet online are one of the following:


1. Too lazy to get up out of their computer seat and go to the real world.


2. Too shy to try and meet real people. Doing it online is way easier.


3. No singles they may like around in their area. There are millions more people online than in your town of, say, 10,000.


4. Socially awkward but computer savvy- good at using computers ,more fluent in using internet and thus feeling more at home talking with someone online.





As for me, I'm intending to brave it and meet someone live.
Reply:You know I felt the same way... but after going through my divorce I did not know where to turn and I tell you I have met my fiance through the internet. Yahoo personals to be exact. It was scary at first but it was a great move.
Reply:because it's easier to be open with people u don't know or will never meet if u don't persue it
Reply:some do it because they can know wht is inside before they commit. Sometimes it is hard to meet someone in person when you try to say hello and just put you off not trying to find out what is in the heart of that person to whom has said hello to you.that hurts alot to some of us.
Reply:this is taking place because we are becoming more advanced as a society. just because it is "computers" doesnt mean geeky anymore. Its just a new way to meet people. just because you meet someone face to face doesnt mean you know them any better than someone you meet online. when you chat with people over the net you meet them on a different level. yes they could be lying to you, but liers are liers no matter where you meet them.





we are finally getting rid of the people who are scared of computers or dont have enough brain to figure out how to press the keys. kids these days are born with a mouse in their hand.


How do you meet people in your adult years?

Back in school, it was easirer to make friends, meet people but down when you get older where did you go to meet people?


I am unemploymend at the moment, and looking for another job, had to leave my last but you dont always meet alot of people at work.





so how dose us adult make friends and meet people?

How do you meet people in your adult years?
I met many of my offline friends, via a local social internet site...others I met through friends I already had.





You can also try meeting people through joining local clubs or civic groups, doing volunteer work, taking a class, taking up a hobby, or meeting people at local festivals or cultural events that have similar interests to you.





Good luck!
Reply:I'm 29, I've met most of my adult friends through other friends, I've befriended neighbors, and women that I've met at the park when i take my daughter... Every year I host a cookie exchange before Christmas and invite all the girls and ask them to bring a friend of their own, its a great way to meet new people. So try hosting some type of party where your friends bring their friends. You can also enroll in college classes and meet people at the gym... the possibilites are endless.
Reply:You should try a social meetup site like meetup.com





You can connect with groups of people who share a common interest or cause and meet regularly face-to-face.





There are thousands of Meetups for thousands of interests! And there are Meetups all across the world!





Everything from young singles/people going to Happy hour to rock climbing to young prof. networking meetups...








best of LUCK...!
Reply:I run into that same problem... Probably the best thing is to get involved in some activity that you enjoy like an art class, a cooking class, some other hobby, etc.

Where do i meet people around my own age? i'm 21?

im not in school anymore and i've always been extremely shy, i'm a loner with no friends -.- and i've been very very depressed lately and i figure it's time to meet the world. where do i do this? wheres a good place to start meeting friends/girls? i know you can say at work is where you meet most people but i'm not talking about that, i'm talking about meeting people as in friends that're gonna come to your house or be real friends with you not aquaintances...and women too. i figure i need a girlfriend or what not. i never had one.. and i'm 21 i know it's pathetic. :(

Where do i meet people around my own age? i'm 21?
Try a bar or club. Everyone is usually friendlier there. Get a drink and just start casual conversation. It'll be a lot easier than you think.
Reply:Yes a bar or a club will do just fine. Women find men more approachable if they aren't surrounded by a bunch of people. Also, when people get a little alcohol in them, sometimes a whole new world opens up. You may start chatting away! I know I will dance when I am drinking and I NEVER dance! Also, it's not bad that you haven't had a girlfriend in your 21 years of living. I am sure you have three times that many years left in your life. If you have hobbies, try doing those and maybe you will meet ppl. Try the YMCA or a local activity center. Pick up a hobby too! You should have the free time since you are done with school now! Good luck and don't worry about rejection, we all deal with it at some point in our lives!!
Reply:Bars. its sad but that is where that age group flocks too. But a job in a social setting anywhere where there are people coming and going, a mall a restaurant, Phone stores there all great opportunities to make friends.


Has anybody tried MySpace to meet people?

I know a few friends who have met their gf/bf over the internet and are very happy - so I decided to take the plunge and try out MySpace.





I can go out and meet a girl - but it's at the weekend when everbody is drinking and it always seems to be either a 1 night stand, or a drunken kiss before I get the taxi home (and have a hangover the day after).





So ... I started browsing through profiles of females around the same age as me who live within 20 miles from me (I do drive) and have since had replies and started chatting to around half a dozen girls over MSN. I say 6, as I get on well with all 6 of them, so have plans to meet up with them during the summer.





It does seem to work, and no, I'm not desperate, but was wondering what everybody else's thoughts were on this approach? My theory is the more people you meet - the better your odds become that you'll meet someone you get on well with.





(Sensible replies only please)

Has anybody tried MySpace to meet people?
I met my boyfriend over myspace. I did the same thing you did. I just searched for people near my area. Not because I was desperate, but because I wanted to meet people that I didnt go to school with, and people a little bit outside my city, but within a few miles. I'm happier than ever and we've been together for a year and almost 2 months. So go ahead and try it out, just be really careful and of course, don't go meet them alone.. Just bring a wingman!
Reply:not really. My net friend made me get an account, and I have like 8 friends on there.
Reply:yeah tried it but no one wants me :o(
Reply:U make sense in saying the more u meet the greater the chances of someone u get on well with.





I don't think too much of myspace tho. It's full of mostly teens with too much time on their hands, and pre-teens tryin to act like teens.





I hesistate to call em "losers" but the one's beggin for friends on myspace and spendin massive time there, they are sorta.





There's tonnes of online dating places like that "true.com" place. I heard that one is supposed to be good. Like they screen people or whatever. It costs tho I think. Dunno how much. Google it and find out if u are interested.
Reply:hi


i have had a myspace account for about 5 months i have made some realy nice friends *who i have meet in person* and some realy nice male friends too :-)





just give it a chance





if you want to add me feel free





just take everything people say with a pinch of salt x
Reply:This is a bad option...because many guy and girl make a false "image" of themselves that is deceptive. I does not really show what that person is really like.
Reply:That is the theory. Don't get discouraged if the first few leave you disappointed, and you have to continue the search.
Reply:My husband and I were both members of a forum and he added me to his myspace. We'd never talked before, he just added me because he opened a myspace account and was adding everyone that he could find their profiles. Anywho, I opened his profile and was like 'wow, he's hott'....then scrolled down and was like 'and he's single...hmmmmm...'





And..well...now we're married, lol. It wasn't really because of myspace, but that's the first time we saw each others pictures...so it helped, haha.





Anything's possible. I don't know if I would take the myspace route though.
Reply:ive met some wonderful people on myspace. i think if your careful, then its a great place to meet people. I met my fiance in a chatroom, so anything can happen!!!
Reply:Let me try .
Reply:Like anything else, it has it's own risks. Not everyone in myspace is real, but you can find some people that are woth meeting. Good luck to you.
Reply:If I were you I would bring them to a public place like the movies and for a bite to eat. Yes you can meet people on myspace. My friend met a guy on it and now they have been together for 7 months.
Reply:The problem is with the net is a person can be whatever they want to interprate themselves has,i.e-a model,superstar,ect,this then goes onto the personalities that's in front of you when your at your computer,the one that's making you laugh,making you want to rush home from work and log onto myspace is not necessarily the same personalitie thats going to be in front of you if you meet the girl/s





I always come onto the net with the saying 'dont believe everything thats in front of you'


Good luck


How do I meet people when I have no interests?

I'm very shy and do not have any friends. I want to start trying to meet people.





The problem is I have no interests at all. One of the first things people are going to ask when I meet them is what my interests are. If I don't have an answer it will scare people away. But I don't want to lie as I don't think that will help.





I think if I could meet some people and find out what their interests are it could help me to find an interest myself, but I need to meet people first. It's a horrible conundrum.

How do I meet people when I have no interests?
I am guessing you are around 20? I was extemelly shy at that age. I think you need to look at and try to fix the reason for your shyness. I think shyness is basically a part of your subconscious saying 'I am not good enough'. That constricts everything, and stops your personality from flowing out, and puts you in a bad light so you feel even more embarrassed. Where did the feeling of inferiority come from? I think probably during your childhood you have been given the message that you didnt measure up and you have taken it on board. You need to question if that message is true? Perhaps you were a lot more sensitive than others, and because they valued toughness over the great qualities you had they gave negative feedback (The Highly Sensitive Person should be read if you think this applies to you). Whatever the reason I promise you its false. We are all seeds who are meant to grow into the best we can be - shyness can blight that seed, BUT THE SEED IS GOOD. So just be how you feel, just be you, dont worry about what other people think - how they develope their own growth or lack of is their problem - your responsibility is your own - let others slide off your back. Be natural, dont put up a front. Seek counselling to help you understand and challenge the inferiority feelings - dont waste time in getting down to challenging the problem, this is a serious problem that could ruin yr life, but even if it seems hopeless I promise you it isnt - get to work on solving it as your first priority. As for a place to meet people, I would suggest a church, possibly a pentacostal one, as a busy church is one were you can get involved in behind the scenes activities, and you will go week after week, giving friendly people a chance to get to know you. Usually after the service ppl will talk for a while - the perfect time to meet new people. Just go up, say hello, ask some questions - soon things will spark. Good Luck!!
Reply:well


Do you like music , growing veges in the garden . Leather . Reading , Movies . evidently you are interested in breathing . { sorry, just trying to lighten the mood }. If you were to take the time for yourself you may find that you are interested in all types of things .. Hey computers . Do you like comedy ? Give yourself a break and be yourself . Its not that hard to meet people . Just go to where you know you may have something in common with them . Like for example .. If you like music . There is a great music site i came across called TRIG.COM and it will give you the ability to meet people that you have that in common with.. If you can't get people to come to you .. Then go to them %26gt; and remember not everyone will like you . But I'm sure most will if you get it yourself out there
Reply:are you sure? maybe you like animals? or, youd surely like music right?
Reply:I'm not really interested in alot either, at least not enough to say "this is one of my interests". Usually when I get that question, I say "lots of things....what are you interested in?" and flip the question back on them.
Reply:It is so sad not to have anyone you can confide in, talk to or share with. Friends are some of the most important people in your life and personally, I could not live without them. A great way to meet new people is through family or family friends, through meeting at local events or places. If someone asks you what your interests are, you just answer truthfully, obviously you must have some interests, meeting new people, reading, dreaming, dancing, art, just anything that you find interesting. Then you should ask the same question back. You could always answer "I always hate that question, because it seems like you need to have an interest to define yourself" or something witty like that. That could stir another conversation.
Reply:You need to loosing yourself abit. Some people are your shoes. Though, it's a horrible situation to be since no man is an island of himself. Don't be afraid to meeting people and don't think that individual interest must always come first. You could meet someone and try discussing something else. Or you listen to the fellow where he or she talks about things that captivated him or her and then build one from there. Utilise your time reading, watching films, surfing the internet, swimming and from then you will get interested in something and would want to share it with others. Hope this works
Reply:there is no way that you have no interest at anything.





you don't like anything at all? NOTHING??!!





not movies? tv? sports? music? reading? singing? acting? traveling? playing games? MEETING PEOPLE? MAKING FRIENDS?





if non, then you are either a robot, or not worth living%26gt;
Reply:Just answer everything they ask u naturally. If they r really friends whom u can make or trust, they would not even bother wat u said its just the trust between people. :)
Reply:try different activities out and at those places you will meet people who enjoy doing them.


Try rollerblading, rock climbing, ice skating, sleding, boating, parachuting and bungie jumping, video game arcade, putt putt, driving range, go the bar and clubs, bowling, strip club, casino, biking, walking dog in the park, swimming, pool hall.


Google things to do in your area. There may be a city singles mingle in your area.


Have fun and good luck! :)
Reply:you must have an interest!


computers, Internet etc.


but if you don't try and join a group in school, if have a local community center go there.


you will learn a new interest and also make friends with similar interests


please don't feel that you should meet people over the Internet as its not safe, its much safer to join a group in your community..


hope i helped!
Reply:how do you spend your free time then? You know like if it's your day-off from work or during school breaks if you're a student. How about the interest to meet people!? How can you meet people if you're not interested in the first place. Why not tell them you're interested to meet people. Then start to know about them.....try to know them because you're really genuinely interested to get to know them.
Reply:theres not one single thing that is interesting to you,thats kinda sad
Reply:what about computer/ internet/ Yahoo Answers, are you not intrested in any of these, you must have used them to ask this question, everyone has interests but it may be hard to identify them!
Reply:Just say, I'm interested in what the future holds... Or, You are open to finding new interests...That type of thing.


How can you meet Japanese people in california without being involved in schools?

I wonder how i can meet, help,, or talk to Japanese people in CA... when most of the ones that come to usa are students, already have a bunch of friends who are either ESL students and who they meet everyday and they have host famlies, thus they don't need to and they don't look outside of that circle..





To me, it looks like they are perfectly fine with their circle of ESL students, school related people, and host famlies.





But i'm interested in them, and their culture and Japanese langugae. But i'm just a hispanic person that doesn't travel. so all the Japanese i will ever have the possibility of meeting, are the ones that come to usa.





then how can i make connections?


Here's what i tried and didn't work:





1. Craig list: NObody answers and the 1 or 2 that have...they are not very interested in meeting. so i don't even know why they answered me.





2. Going to a school's conversation partner program: They see me and they are disappointed because i'm not a "real american" acc to them.

How can you meet Japanese people in california without being involved in schools?
I'm sure myspace has a group for Japanese in California.

join a club, take a class, a team sport or something of the like that will introduce you to new people with similar interests to you. where in oz do you live? that will helpgive mors specific suggestions...
Reply:I know just one thing,do not meet new people on the internet.
Reply:Try a book club, sports club or even take a night class. I met some wonderful people when I did a night class at a local high school.





I live in NZ but I love visiting Sydney there is so much to do...check out the newspapers and see if there are any social groups advertised...scrabble clubs etc.....I know it might seem geeky but if you turn up to a club and it sucks you don't have to go back but at least you've given yourself the opportunity to meet new people....





Good luck with your endeavours
Reply:Make it into project self makeover then, it will be fun, change your image or hairstyle, make some new friends and you might even get interested in some new hobbies. Ya get out of the house more, check on events that are happening in Sydney maybe some tourism stuffs or some kind of annual sports stuffs, something that interest you that's gonna be held in the city. Then just attend them and I am sure you will find a lot of people there that you can meet. Don't worry and be friendly, you are bound to meet some nice new people that even share the same interest as you. Have fun!
Reply:the best way i met my closest friends was through work get a job in a bar or even an office it ends up like an extended family and there are plenty of work events and birthdays that way you get two sets of friends ones from school and work mates
Reply:nellephant had the right idea, join a club at school, but make it something that your interested in, that way you and those new people would share the same interests. for an out of school idea, the best place would probably be the mall. go window shopping and when you see someone looking at something you like you can comment on how it looks good and they have good taste. by their response you will know if they are the kind of person that you can keep chit chatting with or if its a walk away moment. i picked up a couple girls that way, lol.

How do you meet new people?
This site lists 10 ways to meet new people. Have a look especially at meetup.com, for example. Meetup is not online meeting. Meetup will allow you to find people in your area who have similar interests. But it has nothing to do with dating. Even couples go to Meetups. It is worth checking out:

By the way, online meeting is not so bad if you do it correctly. This site has ideas about how to meet new people and it gives some suggestions about how to do so online as well as not online:

Reply:u can go in bars now because u r the age to have a drink now ok so get out and have a drink ok
Reply:The only way to meet new ppl is to just be urself...going to the gym is a wonderful place to meet friends...... eg...u can go up to a person and say hey wats up?? but dont act too friendly ...just talk to the person like how u would be talking to ur cousin or sister or bro....just be urself thats the most important thing..


Do famous people meet up with their fans?

this is a weird question but do famous people or semi-famous people (like football stars, well known graff artists ect) suggest to meet up with their fans?


becuase this girl in my class is bragging that this famous graffiti artist asked if she would like to meet up with him for a drink. hes way older than her so i thought maybe he likes her. do you think shes lying or do famous poeple really meet their fans? and if they do why would this guy be meeting with this girl in my class, i don't even think she likes graffiti that much! :S

How do YOU meet interesting people??

It's awesome to me how easy it is to meet people by just saying hello, or complimenting someone. Though I try not to throw the word friend around anymore, I do find it easy to be myself and to meet nice people.





Have you ever been mad at yourself for giving up great opportunuties to meet people just because you might be afraid of being rejected?





I'm saying all of this because I am growing as a person from day to day, by just looking up from the ground, and speaking to people and meeting friends along the way.





Do you have any stories of how you swallowed your fears to talk to people you might not have talked to in the past?

How do YOU meet interesting people??
For being a woman, you have a natural advantages over men.





Women are like nectar to the men like honey to the bee.


Women knows their asset and the weakness of men who gravitate towards them even if they are not sending out "come'on" signals


Women knows all men want from them is SEX - the rest are inconsequential but just a prelude to get you onto the bed!





Sex aside and gender aside, if you want to meet interesting people, you must first be an interesting person yourself.





Second , be real and don't put on an act or else that will be disqualification No. 1





Third, be genuinely interested in people and their well-being and not nice to manipulate or to create a need to be needed like alll those people helpers industry.





Transparency and humbleness with substance in your character cannot help but attract like-minded people into your arena





Hope it help anwer your Q in some way or other, Ok ?

Reply:Frankly, I barely talk to anyone I don't know. I just live my life, and they notice something that they have in common with me, or something they like about me. We just keep talking, and talking. In school, I made interesting friends because they liked what I had to say in class (I'm very opinionated). From their, I met my friend's friends, and their friends, and so on. (I like the word friends.) I never minded feeling rejection, its a part of life, and people who reject me aren't worth my time anyway.
Reply:Life is what you make of it. It is all the attitude you have. You go out and decide that you want to meet as many NEW and interesting people as you can. Stand tall--act confident and self assured--just say HI. Stop to take a look at anything that interests you--even simple things--flowers--cars-- any kind of stuff--hey, make a comment to someone and they will talk back to you. What fears are you talking about??? Afraid of what?? People don't bite. Just smile and speak up--a few nice words just might make a difference in somebodies day--so get out and have fun.

Laughing when u meet people?

i joined a job recently and i find it difficult to met people with a laughing face .


kinda makes me feels awkward . sometimes it happens that i am not impressed by a person face and i find it difficul to hide that . i try to put a laught it all makes the situation weird .


i met my GM who had this hard look and i tried to laugh but well he mistook me for being a con man or something ... i went to sign in a paper he did that ... and i tried to laugh ..it was all artificial . the gm felt i am fooling him or something and he rechecked the documents . i just ***** look at him after that , i said thanks and subsided .


the question is do you laugh when you meet people ? how do u cultivate the habit of showing respect and also at the same time make it feel natural ?


shud u have eye contact when you meet people likeGM etc...





please advise me as I am a socially backwards , i wanna develop my corporate personality :-)


cheers

Laughing when u meet people?
I wouldn't "laugh" when I meet people, or came in contact with them from day to day. Doing that makes people feel like your trying to fool them, becuase they have no idea why your laughing, and peoples subconcious tells them that there the butt of the joke. When meeting someone, simply look them square in the eyes, smile as sincere as possible, and give them a firm handshake (unless its a women, then be gentle). You can also throw in a "hello" or "Very nice to meet you (again)". Looking them in the eyes, is very important too. This is a sign of respect for them and yourself. Don't stare them down, just make a brief 3-5 sec eye contact. If they break contact sooner, then you can too. If they don't, then after 3-5 secs break it yourself. Don't try to "out stare" them either, especially if their in a higher position. If you want a sincere smile while meeting them, just think of something that makes you smile. Think of something happy, and it'll come. You can also on your free time try smiling on your leisure. This will stretch your face muscles, allowing natural smiles to come easier. And don't worry what you look like when you smile, that will cause you to make it unrealistic. Good Luck!
Reply:Just be yourself if you think you messed up just let it go, we all make mistakes. read some positive thinking books. tell yourself your OK. and you will be.
Reply:Just grin and bear it! That's what I was taught! And know if you are laughing AT them then they are 1-3 steps behind! Have confidence and know that you are the one that will be laughing last!!!

Ladies: Help me meet new people...?

I'm really bad at meeting new people. I never know how to approach someone, what to say or anything like that. I'm finally getting my life back on track and I think it's time for me to go out and meet some new faces, maybe try to meet a nice girl. I just don't know how.





For example: I was in a book store the other day and saw a girl reading a psychology book that looked interesting. I wanted to go up and say something to her, introduce myself or ask how the book was. I ended up just looking in the book shelf right next to her, finding a book I liked and bought, but not actually saying anything to her. Is there anyway I could have introduced myself without seeming to intrusive in that situation?





What are just some good ways to meet people and how do you approach them?

Ladies: Help me meet new people...?
First meetings are always hard, and I'm just getting the hang of it myself. Two years ago I struggled until I became more open, and outgoing. If there's someone I want to meet, I'll find something to talk to them about. Say if I had seen a guy looking at a psychology book, I would have asked if he was studying it in school, or reading for pleasure. From there it could progress. Sometimes it's as simple as smiling at someone, and they take the risk of striking up conversation with you. If you know a little about the person, find something you know about, or want to know about, and just talk. If there's someone you would like to know, but don't, ask them a question (even if you already know the answerer). If they don't know, fine, but that could be a way to break the ice.

Where can I meet people although I'm shy?

I'm black. I feel like it's already hard to meet people just because people aren't attracted initially to me at first. Secondly, I think I have some sort of avoidant personaity disorder so it makes it hard to meet people. I like to be around people, but social interaction makes me nervous although once someone starts talking to me it's hard to tell. What I'm wondering is where do you suggest I meet people. I've gone to church, but it's hard to go alone and meet people. I'm trying to get in some activities, but it costs money that I don't have. Oh yeah, and I'm also in my mid 20's. I'm petite, cute at best. What do you suggest?

Try joining a club in your area where you can meet people your own age who share your interests. Or take a class for fun at a local community college.

How can i meet people and make new friends or meet a guy in Bradford?


I have moved back home after a while away I have lost my confidence I can not find a job in the area I want and all my old friends have moved on.


I am going to take up a volenteering to try make new friends and it would be nice to meet a nice fella. I am past the club scene don't like it and never did and I have tried internet dating even paid fee and just get guys my dads age or onces not my type.


I know it is shallow but i have to find a guy physically attractive before i even find out about other things, I have been out with guys I have found stunning but they have been boring. I find long hair on guys really attractive but i could not have a relationship with a guy who was funny and great but i did not find attractive no physical spark is no can do for me.


Im sure many agree


Any advice

How can i meet people and make new friends or meet a guy?
you need to stop looking so hard! i don't live too far away from you, what you need to do is get out there, find a job or even join a gym, maybe you can make new friends like that...i am too past the clubbing stage but i am sure you can go out bowling, or to a restaurant, or your local and meet someone.. the key thing here is to concentrate on making new friends, and also rebuilding your confidence! get out there and have some fun and you will meet a guy when you least expect it! good luck, i hope my advice helps
Reply:I have been in your situation before and i know it seems desperate asking for advise about these things, but it works,you can never have too may friends, don't worry so much about the guy thing just yet meet some girlys have fun and then may be someone will find you, i know it seems hard but don't go looking for a guy you must not go out on the hunt for someone thats not how i love works i think.


May be go to your local, and be open, if you find yourself getting on well with someone down the pub don't let it just be a pub friendship swop details don't be afraid to ask somone if they would like to take you mobile


Just enjoy yourself also you can go to Where Are You Now

How can I meet new people?

I'm a freshman in college this year and although I still have my friends from back home, I am having trouble meeting new people here. The problem isn't about me being self conscious or something like that, it's the fact that I don't know a good place to meet people and more importantly. More importantly, however, is the problem of meeting the type of person I'd want to be friends with. I don't want to sound stuck up or anything, but I just feel more mature than the kids here. They're more obsessed with partying all the time and getting drunk, when I'm not interested in any of that. I seem to have trouble keeping up a conversation with most people here seeing as how my interests differ from thiers. This problem extends to meeting girls. So basically, I'd just like some advice letting me know what to do. Thanks.

You'll surely find someone of your caliber there.
Reply:For a freshman you are indeed mature in your thinking. Away from home, it is lonely to be on your own. You didn't mention you are a christian because the best place to socialize is in the church or fellowship. You can also try joining clubs or organizations in your school, e.g. tennis club, debating club. There are many. Just open your eyes. Avoid drinking and drugs. You have a good future ahead of you.

How to meet new people?

I go to a small new catholic school, I am a sophomore and the highest grade level thus far, so I have already met and know everyone in my school. Our sports are with schools at least an hour away, and we don't talk to people there much anyway. No one goes to our library, which is by the community college. I go to this club event every month or so, and i meet people there but its also small and it is rarely local. I go to the local mall/ movies, but usually everyone has their own little groups and people don't talk to other people there unless they already know them. I don't want to hook up with people online, I think that's pretty lame. The kind of people I want to meet are relatively smart, nice, fun people. What are some intra school activities? Any ideas on how to meet new people?

Can we meet people in heaven that we didnt meet on earth like..?

If i die tommorow and i go to heaven will i be able to meet people that i did not meet on earth for example i looooove


marilyn monroe i own all her movies and everthing, so when i get to heaven would i be able to meet her??

Can we meet people in heaven that we didnt meet on earth like..?
you will not even know your wife, or your mother or father or anyone you love hear on earth. For the family of God will be equal in your eyes. 1Cor 7:29. Lets just say you will hang maybe with me more then your wife or mother, and you do not even know me. Why would God delete all that you love?you ask? because you all mate in the flesh, and have no idea what heaven is. Sin.......for you are surrounded and blind in it, and that is why just believing in Jesus name you just make it into heaven. There is much more to haven then just getting there.
Reply:Somehow I have my doubts about Marilyn, but only God knows..


You could meet Moses, Jesus, Peter and the Apostles. Jerry Falwell will be there to greet you.. All the big boys..

Reply:You will be able to meet anybody there you wish. Only God knows who will be in Heaven.
Reply:If she's still there and not already reincarnated. But when you get to Heaven, you won't really care about the people her soul used to be...she'll just be another soul that you may or may not have a friendship with already.
Reply:sure, but only if she is there. I hope so but lets be real, many people end up in hell. The ones that are in Heaven, they will be approachable and happy to meet you. There is no class warfare or cultural differences in Heaven.
Reply:Assuming you make it to Heaven, and if she is in Heaven, yes.
Reply:If you are genuinely born again, and have trusted Christ as your personal savior, you'll meet every one who did the same. As for Marilyn, only she knows for sure. Really, it's too late to worry about her but many still have time to make that decision.





As far as people we didn't meet, I have at least one sibling who didn't make it--Mom miscarried. My brother or sister, doesn't matter here, is safe with Jesus and will be one of the first to greet their real brother when my life ends. But the greatest thing of all is to see JESUS, Who gave His life for us all.

cinema - you dont really meet people..


restaurants - you dont really talk to people other than who you went with

I think you could also try places like bowling alleys, and social activity places like that as you will find "groups" of people, often go as a group and there are loads of people you can meet! you could maybe even see what they are like around their friends for example :) i dont know lol.

How/where do people meet their gf/bf on the internet?

I always see stories of people who have met online. but i just dont get where they met. it this the dating website type meeting place? or myspace type things? or does it all happen in chat rooms?





even for just meeting friends, i just dont understand how this happens. ive been online for a couple years and i dont use chat rooms, and rarely use myspace (other then to get other peoples ideas for chronic back problems), and my 'friends list' is empty, and i dont even see why one would need so many 'friends' on that thing anyhow. so are these stories referring to the 'dating sites' that focus on making people meet or am i missing a whole aspect of this interweb thing?

Where to meet people?

Hi, i'm a 25 year old guy; i have always been shy and quiet, but since i've started treatment for depression my moods have stabilized somewhat. The thing is, I have been and continue to feel very lonely for a long time; there was a time, when i was depressed, that i made some serious mistakes and lost my license; its been almost two years since i've been able to drive, and am finally looking to get a car back; I have been thinking about how to meet women my age because honestly a relationship is what would be most fulfilling to me now, but I'm at a loss for where to go or how to go about meeting someone who is intelligent, interesting, etc, and thinking about it only makes me more depressed. I try not to think about it and do other constructive things to keep busy; my question is, what are places I can go to meet new people (I live in the NYC area), make friends and possible meet a woman i'd be interested in spending time with?

Have you tried online dating sites! You may want to test the waters that way.





I can so relate to what you have to say, that the RIGHT person can make all the difference in ones life. BUT on the other hand, the wrongs ones can make it a living hell.





Try going places that interest you. But don't just concentrate on one area of interest. You could be looking at a number of places, class, gym, church, singles groups, etc.





Good Luck to you.
Reply:Start going to Starbucks at 9:00 PM and drink your coffee there. Try online dating. Check out singles events that are in the city. Go to the Gym. Do you have a dog? Take it to Central Park in the summer.





Or you can do what I do and say screw it. Travel!!


Do we meet certain people for a reason?

do you believe this?





sometimes i wonder why i met her when we couldnt be in the first place since she's already married. surprisingly enough, before i would have acted on my feelings, she had to leave for good and i wont see her again. but in a short time she showed me there are still wonderful people in this world (like her).





but i still try to rationalize why we met...anyway, do we meet people for a reason, or do we meet them randomly?

Do we meet certain people for a reason?
you're putting to much thought into this. everyone that we meet... everyone that is or has ever been in our lives was there for a reason. we learn and grow... everything we encounter has a lesson that could/should be learned.
Reply:It all depends on wat kind of places you get to meet tat particular person and y. Fate play a part 2.

How do i meet people?

how do i meet people in class? i moved to a new town over the summer where i now go to a very cliquey high school. i have a lot to offer, but i just dont click with certain people as much as i'd like too...i never know what to talk about, and eventually, the conversation goes stale. ive met a small group (about 7) of friends, of whom all but 2 are new as well. ive become close with about 3 of them, but i'd like to meet more people. its quite hard, considering im naturally shy, and ive just recently broken completely out of my shell. however, im still a little shy from time to time, even more so without my friends. i know im capable of meeting new people/ making new friends--i met so many at my old school--but its proven to be really hard here. thanks!

How do i meet people?
that sux


well try doing clubs and stuff. i kno thats like a cliche but its true. no one knew me in my school until i joined the drama club and did stuff like raising money for prom. im also a band geek.


band geeks rock! lol


no im not really that proud of it but i got to be friends with people all through my high school that way





im not sure if that helps or not


hope it does :)
Reply:Lots of people make a mistake of taking the first person who comes along as there best friend. Don't be a snob be friendly to all. When the right group of people come along that you like, then become there friend. If they do not like you take your time , be friendly , and the right group will come along.
Reply:make ur friend d most popular student of class and ur desire wil b fulfill
Reply:you're new right? you know, i'm kindda new in my school, too but if you're staying there long enough, you'll find your real friends... just try relating with them, you'll find your friends.
Reply:just introduce yourself to people when you meet them
Reply:hello i know how you fell my family move a lot


the way i met new friends is by joining new clubs.


being myself and go up to people groups and join the conversation and you can meet new people but I'm also in theater and sports so i hope it help
Reply:well,, you can always be of help to others, be kind, socialize, talk after classes and laugh at their jokes..You could always meet new people or join an organization to help you..

Where can i meet gay people that are my own age???

i am 16 at the moment, i have just come out about being gay after about 4 years of knowing, although i am not 100% sure that i am 100% gay.


i have had 1 experience with a boy, which was when i stayed over his house years ago, but this is not enough i would like to acctually have some friends that are gay and my age does any1 know any1 who is 16 and gay and living in LONDON, especially in HACKNEY because i would like to get out and meet some more people but i do not have a clue where to go.


on other questions i have read people have said that you will mainly meet people at school or college but i dont go college, i work, got very bored of school so i thought i would take a gap year but i am now working and have had a promotion and loving it i dont want to go back to college, the only reason i would go back would be to meet more people but i dont want to be weird and go to college to meet anover guy plz help me some1 and tell me somewhere i could go to meet someone.

Those are just a couple near you. well i think they are lol.





I found them through google with this entry





"G.L.B.T support group in near Hackney london"





Im sure there are many others!!





Have fun, get out there and meet some fun people.





I would suggest some sort or support group rather than a dating site.





Dating sites can be very dangerous Esp at your age. You really should never meet up with people online Esp Where you are an experimental Gay, Bi, Curious. That can be especially dangerous.





Hope this helped some. be careful stay save and good luck!!

Reply:Well, I'm not one to question whether you are completely sure if ur gay or not, because 12 is a pretty young age to start, like you just about get into girls at that age, but it is your


preference,





well congrats on coming out,


I'm not gay myself but it is accepted quite freely where i am (CAMDENNNNNN not far from hackney) but i wouldn't recommend going back to college if your main objective is to meet people, but if you do go to college i suggest investigating the social aspect of the college, like in some colleges most of the students are those kinda gangster wannabe rudeboi's who are highly prejudice again gays, i would suggest aiming for a more indie cultured college, (La Swap North London for example) since they seem to be more accepting,





if you dont wanna go back to college try going to some partys or some raves always good place to meet someone, try and catch them before they get too drunk.


I think ive said too much for someone who isnt gay but i hope it helps. Alsoim only speaking from a 17 year old Londoners perspective.

How do I meet new people when I am very reserved?


How do I meet new people when I am very reserved?


Recently all of my friends moved and now I have no one. I am reserved and having a hard time meeting people?


I am 20 and have not had a boyfriend for almost 1 year. I am very reserved and have a hard time opening up to people..even my close friends. I am worried too!However I hate going out to bars. How can I meet new people from scratch? This is very hard for me. It's like I want to reach out to people however I feel it is easier to turn inward and become a hermit. I am not lonely but I wouldn't mind meeting new people. I also have trust issues from being let down many times in the past. I plan to move to San Diego in about 2 years from now so that I can start from scratch.

How do I meet new people when I am very reserved?
Join a club - if you like books join a book club, gardening - etc. by joining a group you have a shared passion in you automatically have a start at conversation. Once you talk you can see if that person also has other things you enjoy in a person. Little steps - but really join in to a group and you will have a better chance at making friends with the least amount of stress. Good Luck~
Reply:Do some volunteer or community service in your neighborhood. That way, you'll get to meet new people of all ages and you'll be doing something good...all at the same time.
Reply:You can start a enter to a team sport or activity and start to know new people....


Is meeting people online the standard way to meet new people now?

With all the ads for match.com and eharmony.com, I'm wondering...several people have told me that this is the best way to meet people since "everyone" is online...I can't imagine introducing someone to my friends and saying that we met on the internet. Is this just me, or is this now the normal way to meet people?

Is meeting people online the standard way to meet new people now?
Echoing lamarlingtonidol's answer, it's just another method of meeting people. It's possible for people who are unafraid to share information to get to know a lot about each other, so that when they *do* meet in person, there might be no secrets left. I know it probably seems strange to many to consider yourself as having "online friends," seeing how you may have never met in person nor talked on the phone, but I think it's possible. Feelings are feelings, regardless of the communication medium.

Should I meet up with these people from the internet?

I was a member of 360 for about a year and made some good friends on it, but in April left because of issues I had with it. However, I kept in touch with some of the people I met on there and met one of them recently. He said they have meet-ups the 360 people go to and invited me to one next month. If I go, I'll meet all my friends off the site.


However, several of them froze me out after I left, maybe because (being online and never sure about who people are) I pretended to be a bit older than I really am. They know the truth now, but I'm worried if I go then something will be said. On the other hand, my close friends from there really want to meet me and vice versa! What should I do, I'm in such a dilemma.

If you could meet any 10 people in the history of Earth for dinner, who would you meet and why?

I would probably meet two sets of my great great grandparents (there's four people....) and my grandpa because I never met him before he died.....(five) Jane Austen, (OK, OK, I'm selfish!!!) Abigail Adams (seven!!!) a survivor of a tragedy (9/11, tsunami, etc) Marie Antoinette, and the tenth person would be any poor soul who would want to meet me for some reason or another.





I'd meet my various anscestors because anscestry and family and where I come from means a lot to me and I'd be interested to see if I look like anyone. And I think it would be nice for them to meet me. And I really want to meet my grandpa. (RIP)





I'd meet Jane Austen because I LOVE her and her work, and I'd want to discuss ideas with her, and most of all be SARCASTIC AND FEMINIST WITH HER! (wooh!!) And I'd want her to read over some of my British Historical stories.





I'd meet Abigail Adams because she's a role model and I'd just want to discuss life and ideas with her.

If you could meet any 10 people in the history of Earth for dinner, who would you meet and why?
nice essay, Jesus, his Mother, Nephretiri,


Lucy (the oldest ancestor of mankind female skeleton, which has DNA markers found in all the rest of us.) My Indian great greats, Mohammed,


Princess Diana, two left...Socrates, Dianas sons, skip my great great Indian grandpa.


Jesus, most important person that walked this earth. His mom..why not, Nephretiri, explain that pyramid stuff..Lucy, who are you what went on?


great Indian grandma, family lost traditions, Mohommed, who twisted his words, what were his intentions?, Diana, who killed ya, her sons, obvious. to dine with their mom. Socrates, similar thought patterns, long chat.
Reply:1. I would meet my grandfather, because my parents always told me how much we connected. I was only one when he died, so I never really got to meet him.





2. My second choice would be Jesus because I am a Christian and he could answer so many questions I have.





3. My third choice would be V.C. Andrews because I love her books. And it would be interesting to learn about her early life because she was forced to live in a wheelchair.





4. Harriet Tubman would be my forth choice because I want to hear what she had to say about slavery and hear some things she witnessed in the Underground Railroad.





5. I would also meet someone from the Columbine shootings because I want to know what they were feeling when all that took place and what it was like for the two murderers at school.





6. I would also like to meet my great-grandfather because we were never really that close because he was my great-grandmother's second husband. I knew him until I was twelve but we never really had that special connection I have with all my other relatives.





7. My sixth choice would be my great-grandmother's miscarried child. Just because she was family and no one ever got to meet her. I want to know what she is like.





8. Steve Erwin would be another choice because of all the things he did for animals. He was amazing with his kids, his wife, and pretty much with everything he did.





9. Another person would be Jesse James because I am related to him. I also think it would be neat to meet the famous outlaw and see what he was like and ask him why he did some of the things he did.





10. My tenth and final person would be someone like my great-great-great-great-great grandfather or grandmother to learn about my family history.
