How to meet new friends!

Moving to a new place gets you out of your comfort zone. It can be intimidating integrating yourself into a new community, especially as an adult that can’t lean on meeting many people in the same stage of life like you used to in school.

Dating apps can be cringe nowadays, and sketchy. But a lot of people aren’t single. And many women are too afraid or busy to even use dating apps to meet men, let alone friends. So what are we to do as adults, to meet new friends?

Here are my recommendations:

Only

Only will let you coordinate meet ups without the back and forth messaging, at a place that you pick! Download the free app, create a profile that clearly shows your interests in music, food, comedy, etc. to attract friends with a similar vibe.

All you do is swipe on profiles that you seem to have a similar interest with, then you propose a date and time. That’s it! Or vice versa, new friends will propose a date and time to you and all the dates will populate on your calendar on the home page.

Meeting in a public place is also much safer, and you’re able to show new friends your favorite spots or be taken to some of theirs!

Dinner Party Project

The Dinner Party Project is a small business that aims to connect random people over dinner parties! Essentially you just buy a ticket for a dinner party of 8, you show up, and you make friends. It happens every month!
