Not very professional. Plus, they are mostly in their early 20's and still like to party. I am going to be 30 in a week...not really my scene. I am thinking maybe I need to start volunteering somewhere or something and maybe meet people that way? I am glad I am not the only one who struggles with this. It makes me feel better that it just isn't me being a loser haha :)<br /><br /> <br /><br />Have a great weekend!Nadinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06920454010509077779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3756548750353673929.post-8583274649322087232013-08-09T08:28:01.156-05:002013-08-09T08:28:01.156-05:00Does Birmingham have active Meetup groups? I just ...Does Birmingham have active Meetup groups? I just moved to Charlotte with my husband and don't know a soul, but joined a Newbie Meetup group for women. At the first meet up I went to, everyone talked about how hard it is to meet people in a new city. It was really nice that everyone was putting themselves out there. Hasn't led to finding a new best friend (yet??), but at least it gets me out of the house and socializing with other people.<br /><br />For me, the time immediately after moving was exciting and it didn't matter that we knew no one, and now it's getting to be like, okay I need to get out there and meet some people before I go full-fledged hermit.Kirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03278747833050286445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3756548750353673929.post-56413785107271507232013-08-07T20:55:35.828-05:002013-08-07T20:55:35.828-05:00I agree with Kathy, it's easier to meet people...I agree with Kathy, it's easier to meet people through other people. <br /><br />I've met most of my adult friends through other friends or through one of my husband's hobbies (he's involved in a big traditional organization in town). <br /><br />I've also made good friends through volunteering.

I wish we lived closer cause you know we'd have y'all over to the house all the time. But, yes... how does one go about meeting and gaining new friends at this stage in life? I can tell you we will be having a blogger meet up in September, and I hope you'll come. A feel like that's the only way I'm going to meet new people here is through blogging because they love the same thing that I do!Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956514232932544048noreply@blogger.com
