I just posted a "strictly platonic"
ad in the personals section of Craigslist. Horror of horrors, what have I gotten myself into? It's been almost two weeks in the new town, and I'm getting lonely. I had a good morning yesterday, was very productive, but then I started convincing myself that it would be possible to be ok if I never made another friend in my life. This is so incredibly wrong, and once I convinced myself, I was despondent for a little bit. I've made a few friends, but since I've met them through other people, I don't want to make them feel put-upon by me wanting to hang out too much. So, I need to embiggen the pool of people.
Damn my extroversion!
So, this ad. I hope it didn't sound too dorky, but I wanted to be more specific than all the "Looking for a BFF! I like to have fun!" because that's how most of them read. That, or it is obvious that the ad shouldn't be in the "strictly platonic" section. Who wouldn't go for this gal:
Well, we'll find out.
Have you tried www.meetup.com? It might be better because you can join groups specifically interested in things you like.
ReplyDeleteYes! I went to my first meetup event last night, and rode to San Francisco with 4 people I'd never met to see some stand-up. It was awkward at first, but really fun.
