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.
