About the Author
I'm Bobby Rio, one of the founders of TSB. I tend to write about what is on my mind so you'll find a mix of self development, social dynamics and dating articles/experiences. I am fascinated with improving our general well-being. It can be done. It must be done. Find me on Facebook, lets talk more.
I hear the excuse “I don’t know where to meet people” way to often. I’ve begun to dismiss these people as frauds who really should be saying “I don’t want to put one ounce of effort into meeting people.”
It is way too easy to meet new people now a days.
I’m going to pass along a quick link to a site that can basically fill your calendar with social events… for free.
Have you guys visited Meetup.com?
The place is a smorgasboard of local events. Just to give you an example, I put in my zip code and interests and found more night time activity than I can handle.
That was just a small sample of the different Meet Up groups I found in very little time. Put in your zip code and interests… and see what you can find.

Do you just ask them to be your friend after you meet them?

Hey Aaron,
I would say you visit these events a handful of times… even experiment with differnet ones to find events that have the largest number of people you think you might get along with.
Once you find one that has a group of likeminded guys… go there regularly.. be an active member of the group.
Get everyone you meets Faceboook accoutn (hopefully you’re on facebook- if not i recommend it) and keep in touch in between meeting through facebook.
after several meeting and contacts you’ll either connect with some of these people or you won’t. If there is no one you connect with.. move on to a different group.
But you can’t expect people to make the extra effort. You have to be open to meet new people… and sometimes even initiate further the interaction.
I have several close friends who expanded their social scene through joining Brazilian Jisutsu.. now they travel around and party with these guys… Just because they were trainign with them once a week.
