Where to meet people?

Im too shy and nervous to do online dating. Im searching group meet ups but they can be pricey and Im unemployed. I'd pay it once but theres only a few people joined in groups near me (group site online). Where can I go to practice socializing..preferably outside due to COVID? Or maybe I can go bowling one night, masked, but not many talk to you, they are already with people /their own group. 😔

It's hard because after a certain point in life people are mostly established in their social circles or their own isolation and it makes it really tough to meet new people.

For dating -
i mean yeah there is always the creepy 40 year old guys who live with their parents, the really overweight weird guys who smell like an outhouse, or the men trying to cheat on their wives but that is about it.

Just remember it is not your fault. Trying to have a social life at our age is just NOT fun.

Don't know where you live and this place is place dependant. Yet they do narrow things down to local areas.... If there are anything of interest to you that is. They do have a little bit of everything. Just not in all cities or towns.

https://www.meetup.com/

I don't know of much that actually charges. Perhaps for your own drinks or whatever.

I have meetup with some in Denny's or parks a couple events at someone's home.

There used to be this singles club that organized different events. I played paintball with them years ago. It was all people looking to meet new social connections and expand their circles.

@NotJamieM Nice.. That would be cool. I looked at meetup.com but not many had joined groups. That was about a month ago so maybe Ill recheck.

Even without Covid, it’s difficult to meet people, and then they have to be people you like. With Covid, I really don’t know. It just makes a difficult thing even more difficult.

How about a hiking group on meetup.com? It should be for free. You just have to drive to the hiking location.
Coralmist · 41-45, F
@marsbar Im going to check the site again..there were no hikes about a month or so ago, and the two groups that looked cool only had 3 peiple joined. But fingers crossed Ill find something..ty🌻😌

If only you lived in Whitby instead of Detroit .we'd go fishing during the day and eat the fish with chips at night
Coralmist · 41-45, F

Community centers that might have workshops, public libraries are helpful, social clubs have free services.

Organize a meet up at a miniature golf place
Coralmist · 41-45, F
@MarineBob I love mini golf, good idea. 🌻
MarineBob · 56-60, M
@Coralmist work with the local manager on that, he/she would welcome potential new customers/players

Why would you still go around wearing a mask when not required? You’ll never meet anyone if you keep imposing restrictions on yourself.
CestManan · 46-50, F
@TheGreatestEver123 Makes sense.
Now me, I tend to avoid social situations because even if I do get attention, it is often from some weirdo anyways.
TheGreatestEver123 · 41-45, M
@CestManan Yes, that is the woman’s curse in the dating game. You have to put up with a lot of weirdos and pervs before you find a nice guy.

@TheGreatestEver123 I said Id mask inside, not outside. Im looking for outdoor meetups. I mask up inside because A. COVID still spreading and Im overdue for booster, B. I live witth my sister who is high risk. ☘️

Join a gym class 👍
Coralmist · 41-45, F
@Lostpoet Unfortunately I have a medical condition currently so I cant, but maybe a walk group.
Lostpoet · M
@Coralmist There was some sort of exercise where people walked against the water current. I don't know what it's called but my mom used to do it.
