New Year and new to the area.

Just wanted to introduce myself. I just moved to NC from MI a week before Thanksgiving. I'm living in Rocky Mount and work in Wilson. This is the first time I've ever lived more than a few minutes from where I grew up and as much as I'm loving NC I really wish I could find a way to meet people.  I miss having girlfriends to hang out with. Does anyoen have any tips on how to make friends when your somewhere you know no one?

Re: New Year and new to the area.

  • Welcome to the board.  Happy New Year!  I was in the same boat as you a couple years ago.  I used www.meetup.com to find some great people.  I also have met some girls through the board.

  • Welcome to NC!

     When I moved to Greensboro I also discovered meetup.com and joined a few groups.  You can search for clubs that have been formed that match your interests -- for ex. I joined a ladies' book club, and my husband and I joined a wine tasting group.  We ended up taking over as organizers for the wine club for 6 months and met a ton of people that way!  We turned the organizing over to another couple for the new year, but still attend meetings.  This sounds like a commercial for meetup now, but just wanted to encourage you to check it out like the poster above did!

  • Hello and Welcome!  I definitely agree with looking on meetup.  I moved here from Ohio and it's a great resource!
