Social group ideas to possibly meet someone?

Post Reply New Topic

I've heard it can be a great way to meet people going to social groups. I want to try this to make friends anyway, but it would be great to increase the probability of knowing someone as a friend to maybe something more. My interest is music but there are very little groups for that locally. I just wonder what would be some good social groups with a understanding environment, that could be mixed gender? Not the go out drinking kind of groups. Has there been any groups you meet people in and what kind of groups would be good for people who are ND?

Perhaps there's some kind of support group in your area with people with different mental disorders/conditions. I belonged to a bipolar, depression & anxiety support group for a while.

I second the notion of a mental health support group. I have been going to one for a couple of years now and it's great. Sometimes I even run a group myself. Last year I joined a sports class (badminton) and I love it. I've become friends with the regulars and it's mixed gender.

I've actually been trying to think of another social group these past couple of days and I think I'm going to try a book reading group.

Boardgaming groups work for me. There are definitely more males than females at these groups, but there are a few of us

^ There are always more males than females in all things which are fun and interesting.

Writing groups can be good as writers are weird (not as weird as us but still weird). Poor social skills, nerdyness, introverted, attention to detail, a bit nutty about their manuscripts. It's generally a supportive environment too. Any literary ability is extra not expected.

Most of the time....but there are literary snobs in these groups.

I’d just ignore them (the snobs).
