New to the Nest, New to Chicago
Hello! I'm new to Chicago, newly married, and new to The Nest. I left all my friends and family behind in Denver to move to Chicago to pursue a new job and marry my dude. I work with all men (I'm not even exaggerating, ALL MEN). The wedding planning kept me pretty busy the first few months here, but now that life is returning to normal and I have time to think I am missing having friends. I love Josh, but one friend is just not enough, especially when you live with him. I haven?t got the faintest idea how to go about meeting people in Chicago. It?s funny, the whole idea feels kind of like dating, but you know, not. A girlfriend back home recommended joining The Nest, so here I am. I?m hoping to learn more about Chicago and maybe meet some new people.
Re: New to the Nest, New to Chicago
I think joelen (who can be paged on the What's Cooking board) organizes a lot of GTGs downtown.
Welcome!
Haha yeah, just looked at your bio and got all that info. I'm in your area as well and am usually up for a GTG. I've also started to do some volunteering to meet new people so that might be something you could check out as well. Chicago Cares and One Brick are some good local organizations to check out if you're interested.
