How to find meet up groups to make friends near you

Making friends in the same city is very important. After all, how long can you survive on virtual friendships? Social media and mobile technology has definitely advanced quite a bit and thus provides a great platform for people to get connected across countries and cities too! But many people, including teenagers and young adults, feel that real time friendships are more important and thus, connecting with people offline and meeting up with your friends who share your interests and passions is very crucial.

The fun of having a beer with your real-time friend and sharing the interesting anecdotes of a book that you recently read - is a great therapy in itself! Online provides a great relief sometimes because you have a facade and can be more confident about conversations but meeting these people offline,participating in things you love the most is a great stress buster.

Many people come to a new city and try to find new and interesting people to mingle with, many enter colleges and want a group they can hang around with, many relocate for job reasons etc. - people are always on the move. Thus, here are some great ways to meet people online and also offline:

MixiNity, is a great website for people who want to reach online first and then if they think they have found the right people to strike a conversation with, they can meet up offline. Log on to MixiNity - www.mixinity.com, search for interest groups online and then form events and meetings offline in your own city!

If you have relocated because of a new job, probably the office in itself is a great place to find new and interesting people. Talk to your colleagues and strike conversations - you never know whom you might come across.

Many small towns, cities or university campuses have groups, bands etc. who hold meetings, events and functions depending on the interest group.

The most important thing to finding meetup groups to make friend near you is to have an open mind and keep talking to new people!

Opportunity to get connected with local people and have offline conversations

Websites or social media platforms provide a great opportunity to find friends online. Whether you are a new employee in a new company or new to a city, you need friends and people who share similar interests an passions just like yours. Thus, networking websites provide a great platform for you to log on and see if there are any people in the virtual world you share your interests so that you can have a great conversation with them.
But many a times, virtual realities are not sufficient and people need to really meet each other, spend time doing things they like and get to know one another to strike ever lasting friendships. In such cases, you want people who are present in your geographical location to share interests and passions with you. For e.g. - if you love to listen to live Jazz and sip on wine, will it not be wonderful if you can meet new people who love to listen to Jazz just like you. May be form a group online and decide to meet offline in your city?
MixiNity, a great networking website was created and launched keeping this fact in mind. Register yourselves at MixiNity, www.mixinity.com, and look for people who share similar interests and hobbies just like you - in your neighborhood! Form a group, organize events and functions and meet all members offline! What better way to meet new people and mingle with interesting people than this?
Here are some great ways in which you can get connected to people offline -
Organize some party - If you are interested in reading books and have joined a club online, how about organizing a party based on wine and books? Invite all the members to a great venue, tell them to get books they love to read and wine they love to sip!
Joining a band or a club of your interest is another great way to meet people locally and mingle with people who share your interests! If you love music and have always dreamt of joining a band, search for a local band or group of people who love music on MixiNity and see where that leads you!
If you are staying in a nice colony or apartments, usually they have lot of events and functions going on during festivals or some weekends. Make sure you go to a few of them - you never know what the guy in the next building loves to do. Be open minded and talk to as many people as possible.
It may sound a little absurd but visiting a local store or a farmer`s market will make you meet many local people. Locals usually want to buy stuff from local markets and they have time on their hand when they visit such a place. You will learn a lot about your neighborhood and will be locally aware.
Lastly, be open and be sure to mingle and speak to as many people as possible!

A way for meeting new people in your community

Are you new to a community? Are you relocating to a another area within the same city? Well, it can be anything. In fact, there are many cases today where people have stayed in the same community for years and still do not socialize with like minded people in the community or do not venture out to mingle and make friends with new and interesting people! But at some point, they definitely feel the need for company or may be some help. For e.g. - what if you want to sell some stuff and organize a little garage sale? Or maybe you need some society help? This is where the community comes into the picture and it becomes imperative that we step out, mingle with like minded people and strike some beautiful friendships!

Community members are there to help each other, celebrate occasions and spend time with each other! They become especially useful if you are new to the area and the city. Here are some great ways to break the ice and start socializing so as to meet and mingle with new and like minded people!

Usually, there is something called as community meetings that happen monthly or once in a couple of weeks. These meetings are a great platform to discuss various issues relating to the society or the local community. the head of the community along with members brainstorm on ideas as to how they can develop the community in a better way or they discuss ideas for some festival celebration etc. Here every one is present! If you are new to the community, go to one of these meetings to meet people and this will give you a great platform to socialize with them too.

Most communities these days are pet friendly and if you own a dog, take it out for walks! Dig owners and dog lovers love getting to know each other and walking around the community will give you a better perspective of the nearby areas and generally how the people are!

Talk as much as possible! A quick hello or how are you to your neighbors is not a bad idea. Say hi to people when you come across them and you never know what conversations might strike up and what friendships can be developed.

Communities usually have many get together, parties, events etc. Go to as many events as possible so as to come across new people and more interesting people. People are more relaxed at these events and this proves to be a great platform to have great conversations.
