Friends

So I just recently moved to Illinois and I'm realizing it is so much harder when you aren't in school to make friends. What would be a good way to meet new people without going to bars?

Perhaps on Sunday, if you are so inclined, you could find a nice church in your neighbourhood and meet similarly inclined people.

I know. Even in small towns it's hard.

@Benjr134 I'm living in a small town and it's literally either old people or children...

Join a church, do volunteer work, visit the library

even a grocery store

the chamber of commerce will probably have a list of volunteer services that need help. That way, you get to do what you enjoy, help some people out, and meet people that share your interest.
Good luck, I hope you enjoy your new state :)

hi xxcandy2k13xx
dangerous or risky activities help people bond in groups. You need not got sky diving though and you could. Anything a bit risky or just demanding - join a club or activity. Yes bars are terrible places!
Best wishes

Do you go to university or do you work?

xxcandy2k13xx · 26-30, F

@IcePrincess as of right now I just work

@xxcandy2k13xx Then your collegues would be a good place to start ;)
