Meeting new people in a new city or town isn’t easy. Even though you might be a very nice, fun person, it’s stressful approaching a stranger. It’s also hard to know the right places to meet new people after you just move.
One of the better ways to meet people is through forced interaction. That is, put yourself in a situation where you will meet others, rather than putting yourself in a situation where you will have to approach the people out of the blue, such as at a bar or sporting event.
There are many ways to spark interactions. Here are a few:
- Join a club
- Volunteer
- Talk to coworkers
- Meet your neighbors
