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!
