I know this is a big “I’ve tried nothing and I’m all out of ideas!” moment, but I really am so clueless on this that I don’t even know how to try. I’ll be 30 soon, and not once in the past ten years have I gone out and met a new person. The obvious answer is to just go “out” and talk to someone, but what is “out”? No one I know goes to a bar, or a club, or really anywhere that isn’t a restaurant or their house. And any parties they host with multiple groups just turn into little pods of people who already know each other. As someone who has lived in the suburbs their entire life, that’s the world I know, really. Groups show up somewhere, talk only within themselves, and then leave. Interacting with a stranger seems…rude? So where do you find a place where that isn’t the expectation? Is there a board this stuff gets posted on? A site? How do you vet these places? I have no community or neighborhood or anything to ask these questions to. submitted by /u/SwamanII
