seeker84 Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I'm graduating from college and I haven't found a job yet. I want to avoid having a "social void" during that time. Where and how do you try to meet people when you are neither in school or working? I had almost zero social life in school, but at least I had classes. Now even that's going to be gone. I'll go to the library a lot, but a library doesn't seem to be a place full of chances to meet people. Any suggestions are appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites
DerangedAngel Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Online dating services? Clubs (best places around here)? Through friends? School is definitely a great place to meet people, but that's out. When you do find a job, I wouldn't suggest looking for romance with a co-worker. Good luck to you. -Deranged Link to post Share on other sites
LILUIL Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 work along your personal hobbies.... at least you'd meet people with same interests as you..... eg. a futsol arena is a nice place to hang out (IMO) if you like futsol or you could stay here on loveshack and keep us company try the gym, or take up some classes (dance).... i'm just shooting around... really not sure what your interests are, but you get the picture right?

Leikela Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Join groups in subjects that you're interested in. Do volunteer work for a cause you believe in. Those are great ways to get out there and meet folks. The Internet is a powerful tool. You'll be able to find groups in your area through there. That's how I found the softball league I play in.

seeker84 Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 My hobbies are "niche" ones: computer programming and building electronics gadgets. There is a club of this kind 100 miles away from my place (2 1/2 hours by train). I think it's still worth joining (even if there are no women in the club) because I don't really care about anything else in life except for music. I tried an online dating service but the result was even worse than real life: alll of my emails got ignored, no IMs ever responded. Real life is certainly a bit better than that. Hmmm. I bet getting a date is the hardest thing in life. Link to post Share on other sites
Leikela Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 You like music? Do you play any instruments? If so, join a band or orchestra. If not, there are probably clubs close to you that get together to go see concerts and such. There is a HUGE part of the population out there that loves music. That's a start for you...
