ive been single for 5 years so when i moved, going out alone wasnโt really a new concept it was just the unfamiliar environment that was intimidating. so i just had to get over my fear of the literal unknown.
either way, concerts are the easiest place for me to make new connections cus i like to dance and i mean thereโs already a solid topic of conversation to lead with (the artist you r there to see ๐)
dive bars r easy too, i just have a drink at the bar, talk to whoeverโs there, and go wherever the wind takes me.
i also just straight up asked my coworkers if anyone wanted to be friends and /or hangout. sometimes (in seattle at least) u just have to be straightforward
my old roommate liked going to queer nights and thatโs how she met a few of her friends
my current roommate is into gaming so he goes to gaming meets & card game battles
and i have another friend who loves skating so she goes to skating events
i guess, meet new people thru ur hobbies ๐ง๐ฝโโ๏ธ
BUT ALSO
donโt be afraid to ask :)
