Where do you go to make new friends?

I've been trying to figure out where to go and what to do so that my husband and I can make some new friends in the area.  All of our other friends are out of state now except a couple, but they are still a few hours away so we don't get to hang as often as we would like. We hang out with co workers and stuff, but I would really like to meet some new people to hang out with too.

Re: Where do you go to make new friends?

  • We are in the same boat. We moved 6 hours away from all our friends and family! We moved for my work, and its only me and one other person here. So, I cannot even make friends with my co-workers!


     

  • That sounds pretty rough... But then again I have to think work is somewhat peaceful for you without a bunch of people around :P

  • Are you religious at all? DH and I have made several friends through our church.

    Otherwise most of our friends are the ones that stuck around after college  :)

    My Bio

  • I haven't been to church in a while, but the one I like and used to go to is smaller and doesn't have many people in our age range.

  • Ours is small as well (we average around 80 when it's not summer--we're a travelling bunch).  We were some of the only young adults, but we're slowly and steadily growing that age range (4 or 5 couples). I've managed to become the unofficial "event planner" for the group, too.

    My Bio

  • I am also not religious at all!  Never have been, and everyone around us look down upon my fiance and I because we live together and are not married.

     

    Maybe depending where everyone is...we can do some sort of meet up! I am in South Central KY...where is everyone else from?

    I could see how you'd get looks where you are. For what it's worth, my DH and I lived together first and no one here batted an eye. And we're in Lexington.

  • What about taking some community classes?  That is, if there are any that you are interested in or something of that nature.

  • We're in Lexington, if you're interested in getting together. We're not really religious either, so church hasn't been a real option for us. We moved here in May and haven't made a lot of friends yet (just a few from DH's work and from people I've met randomly at the dog park and on Couch surfing). I'm a photographer, so I've met a few people doing photoshoots for them. I agree with the above comment, you should meet a few a your classes...that makes me miss college. I left all of my girlfriends back in Austin. Anyway, let me know if you'd like to get together sometime!
