Find Meetup groups near you - Meetup (http://www.meetup.com/)

Just an FYI for those who are having trouble meeting people, for whatever reason. Check out groups in your area with similar interests and make some friends. They're used to meeting people - that's why they started the group - so you don't have to feel shy about being the "new kid".

Can I bring my fancy new vinegar?

Of course! Even snooty condiments are welcome! :clap:

I think it's difficult to meet and connect with people here.

Very interesting, quite a few in my area.

Can I bring my fancy new vinegar?

Did you actually buy it?

Did you pick up a bottle of Tignanello to go with?

Sorry to to be off topic.

I think it's difficult to meet and connect with people here.

It is difficult.
You have the "born and raised" here and the "come" here's.

Neither really understand each other.
I think the meetup groups are a good start.

No, I compromised and got a 12 year for $20.

I'm not from here and have never had a problem meeting people and making friends. There are so many transplants that the excuse of "So MDers are hard to get to know" doesn't really wash. Just sayin'.

I've never really had a problem meeting new people in SoMD, or anywhere else....:buddies:

Hot chicks don't have problems meeting people if they want to.


Just sayin'

:rolleyes:

Hot chicks or not - meeting groups of people to socialize with and share similar interests is not the same as looking for relationships or hookups.

But I agree, it's not hard for *anyone* to meet people if they really want to. Like Vrai said, I'm not from here and I've never had a problem meeting people in SOMD.

Can I bring my fancy new vinegar?

Congrats :jet:

I think it's difficult to meet and connect with people here. Why? :confused:

:yeahthat:


and how is the vinegar?

Congrats :jet:

Why? :confused:





I'm not sure what it is exactly, and remember everyone is different. Sometimes it seems like most people here already have formed their circle of friends, which almost seem to be "closed." I've talked to women here that have said it took them years to make friends here/feel at home.

And FYI, I've lived in 4 different states

Friday night meet & greets. :yay:


Thanks. I just might do that sometime :)

I have lived in 3 different countries and 4 different states and I find Maryland to be more welcoming than the rest. :ohwell:

Thanks. I just might do that sometime :)

I have a question, and this is a real question not trying to pick on you:

Why do you say "I just might do that sometime"? Why not...do it?

People come on and say, "Having a hard time meeting people," then blow off the opportunity to actually do it. They say "maybe" and "some time" or they say they'll be there and cancel out at the last minute.

Seriously, what is the real reason you (or anyone else who cares to answer) don't want to come out? Because it's not that you "can't" - it's that you "don't want to". Which is fine, I'm just curious why.

Oh, it's not that I don't want to

It's more a question of when I actually can. :)

this would be a great meeting place for your new club - Ketchup | Dolce Group of Companies (http://dolcegroup.com/wordpress/locations/ketchup/)

Oh, it's not that I don't want to

It's more a question of when I actually can. :)Good. The next Friday nighters thread you see posted, just get on and say, "I'll be there." But then you have to actually show up.

F.U. I have enough friends.
