How can I meet more people?

[Tock389]

Hello. Have recently moved to a new city, and want to meet more people. I work conventional office hours, so any suggestions would be welcome. A hobby perhaps?

Have you ever been in the same position? What did you do?

i moved and apart from the people i worked with didn't know a soul, i went out a lot - pubs the gym etc, made loads of new friends some i still have some i don't, i seem to have settled into a relationship with three v good gf's here and load of other friends male and female whom i go out with, still have my friends from back home tho who i see and speak to whenever i can. Its about having the confidence to go out on your own and talk to people and that's easier said than done!

Search out your local library quickly as they're bound to have a prospectus for all the Adult Evening Classes about to start in Sept/Oct. You'll probably be able to choose from learning a new language, Keep Fit, Badminton, Line Dancing, Salsa, and lots of other things. If your library doesn't have details phone up the Education Dept of your local council and ask for a brochure. Your library will probably also have details of local social organisations which might be worth joining from Book Reading Groups, to Wine Making to Rotary and other volunteering groups which usually have a pretty active social life. If you're a keep-fitter, perhaps join a gym if you feel you would get value for money from your membership subscription.

Hi Tock389,

Where have you moved from and to?

Good advice to do a course/evening class or something.
