Ways to meet people
Hey y'all,
I have a slight problem. I'm back home from college for the summer, but I haven't kept in touch with anyone from high school, except one person. She happens to be quite boring, however, as she never wants to go out and she too only has a few friends around this summer. Sadly, my job is filled with much older people and no one close to my age. I feel weird about hitting up bars in Los Angeles by myself, so I'd like to make some new friends while I'm out here. Any advice on how to go about doing this?
Thanks to anyone who replies

Yea just go to a bar/club. Make sure it's your kinda crowd. Get there early. This way you can sit at the bar without looking like a loser. If they have a happy hour even better. As people come up to get drinks then just start off with HI, to those that intretst you. Once you've had a few drinks you will be more inclined to talk to strangers. I'm a bouncer at a club and I notice most people talk to everybody all the time. The whole scene is about meeting new friends and just hanging out.

Oh and make sure to dress to impress. It helps.

I definitely don't think meeting someone at a bar/club is ideal....... ya, really not at all.
There's people everywhere..... no one at your gym?

Anywhere but a gym. I hate people to go to the gym just to meet people or cheat on their spouce. That said I would try places like supermarkets after 5 pm. That when all the single people shop. married people usually shop in the middle of the day since most mom/ wife don't work. This is just something I've noticed working at a stores. also resturants during lunch time. Go to bars and with one friend and try get in the mix of a bigger crowd. trow a party yourself.

The best way to meet people is to follow them in your car. That always gets their attention.

Please, when you go at happy hour your most likely surrounded by people with decent jobs and just wanting a drink/convo to wind down. a nice bar at happy hour is a good place to start IMO.
Leave the gym to working out!WHEN LIFE ****S YOU IN THE ASS, YOU GOTTA JUST TURN IT AROUND AND **** IT RIGHT BACK!!!!!! - ME

this is a great idea...Originally posted by IceRgrrl

other sport suggestions:
- ultimate frisbee (common to have women in the leagues as well)
- touch football (will be more guys than girls and most have already started though)
also, you're in LA, right? Take an acting class or something . . . you'll meet lots of starving young actors and actresses, some of whom may actually be cool (the rest will be stuck on themselves and kinda act like jerks, but that's the risk ya take)
other than acting, taking other kinds of classes is also a great way to meet people (cooking classes, etc, etc.)

LA there isa lot of cool places that include healthy alternatives. Like the bar woody allen opened that sells health related drinks, no liquor. You know what! Pick up a LA guide and vow to go somewhere different every time till you find a place that suits your style.

I just go to the bar and sit and stare and the bottles all night. Most people probably think I am crazy and don't say much. The ones that do, usually wish they didn't, interrupts my concentration.
