What's the best way to meet people???

Hi,I need a bit of help...

I've recently moved back to my hometown after 10 years and am finding it really hard to settle in.

The problem is I'm not meeting people and feel a bit lonely.

I am working with a lot of married women (I'm a guy by the way) who are OK but I don't have a lot in common with them.

I don't have problems making friends with people and am quite confident but I am not really doing anything to help my situation.

I am back living with my folks and am sick of staying in on weekends when I'm normally such an outgoing person.

It's affecting my confidence as well-I've never really had any problems finding girls but I'm not even trying to chat to girls as I don't have my friends around to kinda back me up.

I actually have loads of friends through travelling about but unfortunately none of them are in my hometown which doesn't help.

Does anyone have any advice for me before I go insane???

Go out alone. I do it all the time in my neighborhood, and after a while, you get to know people.

Why not try a singles site? If you just looking for friends I would see no problem with it..

 

Once you get your foot in the friends door.. then things will probably just progress more naturally, just be meeting friends of friends and such..

Yeah you might want to try a site like that... I know their is one on yahoo for those who want to meet new people or who are new in the area.

When I first came back to NYC, I was in a similar boat. After a short while, I joined a cigar group and began to hang out with people in it. We became friends, and some people in it are still my friends. I also joined beach hosue through which I made friends. I was also once in a bicyling club. Think about joining something.

I find the best place to meet people is on the bus. I have been tons and tons of friends on the bus before.
