At some time or another, all of us find ourselves in a bit of a
dating rut. Follow these steps to easily expand your social
circle.

1.Do the things you love "� Too many of us don"t go out and do
things because we don"t like doing them alone. But I make it a
point to go kayaking regularly, renting a kayak from a local
shop. Why? Because this will put you in contact with other
people who share your interests. And, of course, you"ll be
talking to these people, as instructed in Step 1. Also, no
matter what your hobby, your local shop will probably have a
bulletin board listing outings and activities of interest,
giving you more ideas for meeting new people. Ask the counter
clerk whether he knows of anyone who meets for your specific
hobby. I"ve found several informal social kayaking groups this
way.

2.Start something "� This isn"t for everyone, but if you"re a
great organizer, find a project. Do you notice that your new
apartment complex or neighborhood never has any get-togethers?
Why not plan one yourself, and hand out flyers? Or maybe you
love scrapbooking, but can"t seem to find anyone else to share
your interests. Start a scrapbooking get-together once a week!

3.Take a class "� No matter what the subject, taking a class at
the local junior college or education center will help you meet
people. Pick something fun, like a cooking class, or something
that"ll really boost your earnings, like a real estate investing
class.

4.Say Yes "� Without even realizing it, you"re probably turning
down opportunities to meet new people every day. So, the next
time your co-worker mentions that networking meeting she goes to
every Wednesday, or your boss suggests a happy hour after work,
say Yes. The more people you"re exposed to, the more likely you
are to meet people who share your interests.

5.Join a social club "� In nearly every city, there are clubs to
help people meet each other. Sometimes they"re called Newcomers
Clubs, other times simply Social Clubs. Regardless, joining such
a club will give you access to unlimited potential friends "� and
will generally help you get to know your new city better, too!
This is a fail-proof way to meet people, because everyone else
wants to meet new people too.
