7 Ways You Can Meet New People That Share Similar Interests
Meeting people who share similar interests and hobbies like you do has become a rare scenario these
days. There are many apps these days that can help you find new friends and potential dates, but how
do you really know you have mutual interests? For many making new friends in a social networking era
is way out of their comfort zone, they had rather hide behind the screens instead of a face to face
interaction. These seven ways will help you step out of your so-called comfort zone into a socializing
zone.
Ways to Meet New People
1. Apart from your day to day routine, work and home life, pick up a hobby or an interest that gets you
motivated through the day. It can be reading, painting, talking about a certain industry-related topic or
sport. Decide on your top three favorite activities or hobbies or interests. Find relevant forums and
meetups related to the topics you are interested in. Be a part of these forums, interact with people who
share similar interests and gain knowledge as well as friends on the go.
2. Be open to taking social risks. When you are introduced in social events or at a business networking
events to a bunch of individuals, be sure to have conversations that lead to connections. You don't
necessarily have to meet and greet everyone at the event. To get started, set a goal as to how many
people or strangers will you interact with at the event.
