so what's a good way. seems like it gets harder meeting new people as you get older.
i have a small group of friends. i go ball at the same spot with the same folks, hit up the dispensary (even though i cut back drastically), same local bars, but i am getting tired of the same old.

time for new scenery. any suggestions?

joined a yoga class recently, the woman :smokin
thinking about doing some jiu jitsu at a studio that just opened up, but it's kinda pricey :lol:

anyone else feel bored with the same stuff? i can always get up and move a new city, but i havent reached that point yet.
 
Damn, NikeTalk is really getting old.:lol:

I've got the same group of friends I've had since junior high school. Only other friend I've made was at work.

Do something out of your norm.  So that means trying something new and different.  Don't try too hard because it'll be too desperate.  Unless you're flexible and actually into Yoga, joining that will make you look like a creeper.  If you play ball, you proally have thick thighs like Prince Fielder.  I can't imagine seeing a dude in Yoga doing all those Karma Sutra freez poses.
 
Usually concerts are the easiest to meet new people in my opinion.

The fact that two individuals are attending the even already shows they have similar interests in at least one area.

It would be easy to go on from there.

I'm exactly the same way. :lol:

I don't mind making a lot of acquaintances, but there's a lot of criteria you would have to fill before I really consider you a "friend".

Planning to travel to the States next year.

Feel like I haven't seen your name in a minute...probably because I'm not in Yankees/Sox threads anymore.:lol:

Good to hear you're doing good bro. How was that transition?

I just talk to customers at work. Just met some chick with mutual friends so it's an easy chop from here I think. Just don't be creepy.
 
Im not creepy, but I hate to avoid people because I come off extremely friendly. I just dont wanna be like this older man that I run into and says hello to everybody always. By always I mean "always"
 
I am sort of in this dilemma now thinking about joining a gym and messing around with people there.
 
Like you said OP it's harder when you get older,all my core group of friends are married and have kids,I ain't about that life..A few tips though,go to bars that offer a lot of activities like trivia nights,karaoke,etc...that gets people interacting and is easier than striking up a random convo..Definitely get to know the bartenders well,besides the obvious benefits,they will introduce you to everybody.Can't tell you how many people I have became at least acquaintances with and occasionally kicked it with that bartenders have introduced me to...
