Almost everyone in their lifetime will have moved at least once, either from the place they grew up in or perhaps a new job can cause people to leave their social life and a strong link of friends behind to make a go of it in a new city. Consequently, everyone is keen to meet new people in a new area and here are a couple of tips how to do so.
Being Active
It is very easy to relocate to a big town and be very excited to do lots of different fun things and click ‘going’ on different events, however there is a big difference to actually going ahead and turning up to these things, rather than having a load of your old friends commenting on your post saying ‘have fun, glad you are mixing out’. You must stay on your toes, be open-minded and have a go-get attitude. Sign up to MixingOut and meet like-minded who love going out all the time. Once attending these events make sure to be kind, open and charming and people will be drawn to you and making friends will become very simple and fun.
Mutual friends
MixingOut is obviously the best way to meet new people but you can also find ‘Friends of friends’ to expand your social circle. It is fascinating how the world is such a small place and everyone is interlinked, hence the theory of six handshakes. Especially, with modern technology and social networking of today, finding mutual friends has never been easier. Those mutual friends will not only make an addition to your friends list yet also will introduce you to others and so on.
Take advantage of your situation
If you have moved, you have done so for a reason, most of the time the reason is work. Take advantage at the work place, make sure to introduce yourself to colleagues and strike up conversation. A work place on its own will offer many opportunities to make friends, as some would be in the same position that you are in. There would be plenty of corporate events, parties, seminars etc. Nonetheless, the reason that you chose to move to an area is irrelevant. As long as you don’t waste time and make the most any social situation you are part of.
On the whole, meeting new people is a wonderful exercise as it is fun and exciting, sometimes a bit nerve wrecking of course, however it takes you out of your comfort zone and lets you enjoy the amazing experience of socializing. MixingOut is the easiest way to have fun and meet new people, who are just like you. So, what are you reading this for, get on the site and join some events!
