I just moved to Greenwood, IN. I dont know anyone, and I'm shy when it comes to meeting new ppl. I dont have a job yet, and I dont start school til August (and its a computer campus, hard to meet ppl)

I've thought about going to bars and sitting around, but does that work? I've looked for little coffee shops to go to and just sit around and read, but havent found any.

Any other ideas?
Anybody here from Greenwood?

I’ve met interesting people volunteering to work for events, and worthwhile organizations like the M.S. society, animal shelter, and our community cable television. Bars never worked for meeting people, but I do like to hang out and get to know the locals. Good luck.

I've found that the women that are the most attractive are simply happy being themselves. Explore your interests for yourself and find joy in your simple moments. People will see your brightness and uniqueness and be attracted to that.

When you're truly comfortable in your own skin, you'll find that it'll be easier to break the ice. I've met people in the strangest locations: on buses, at stores, at parks, in bookstores. They don't all become incredible relationships, but I feel a part of the community without contriving some trap for people to fall into.

I would avoid meeting people in places you wouldn't normally go to. Going to bars to pick up people is just a silly idea. First, the quality of the relationship is inversely proportional to the amount of alcohol in your/his blood. Second, you're meeting people where the man of your dreams probably isn't. I mean, do you dream of meeting a guy that lives for the party, the booze, the escape? Or is he out there building a career for himself, establishing his contacts and skills, pursuing his passion? You'll more likely find him rock climbing, fishing, playing baseball, taking a walk, or whatever things you most enjoy doing.

Good luck with that. I know how lonely it can get when you find yourself in a new city.

conceited is ideal. there are a large style of knowledgeable Alabamians who settle for the non secular alternatives of others. more suitable, in case you favor people to address you in an elementary, open way, you favor to be open and elementary your self. i have discovered one project about Southerners--they're a lot sharper than you look to have self belief. i recognize you graduated from MIT yet you curiously are not very smart even as it comes do your dealings with people. try assuming intelligence and expertise on their area, and doubtless they're going to take care of you that way.
