Whether you’re out there looking for new friends or a romantic partner, it seems that people are more interested in their smartphones than striking up friendly conversations. The good news is that there is always the right time and place to meet new people. Here are my 40 Fun and Unique ways for how to meet new people. Table of Contents. How to Meet New People: 40 Fun and Unique Ways. #1 – Join a sport. Even if you’re not the “sporty” type, a new sport can be a great place to meet new people and be part of a team. “Sports” can mean your regular team sports like soccer, hockey or football but don’t let your ideas stop there. You can join badminton, a running club, curling or even ping pong! There are many creative ways to get out there, get physical and start meeting new people. #2 – Through other friends. Mention to your friends that you’re looking to meet new people and have them introduce you to some of their friends or coworkers. This makes things really easy because you don’t have to worry about approaching strangers. Your friends will be there to make all the introductions and might even share what you have in common with these new people. It will make the small talk conversation a lot more enjoyable! Pssst..

This point just means to have an open mind about all the events that you’re invited to. You never know where or when you’re going to meet your new best friend, or even your soulmate so you don’t want to miss out on opportunities! Work functions, birthday parties, happy hour – say yes to all the parties. #4 – Plan a board game night. Host a board game night or other gathering and tell your friends to invite their friends. Even better is if you tell them to invite people that you haven’t met before. If you make it a board game night or other kind of “themed” event, it will be a great ice breaker and get everyone feeling like they can mingle with each other with little pressure. #5 – Walk your dog. Take your dog (or a friend’s) to a local dog park and chat with the other dog owners. When the dogs are running around and playing, the owners tend to stand on the side and this is a great way to strike up a conversation. An even better idea is to take your dog out around the same time and hopefully you’ll stumble across the same people multiple times. #6 – Join a local band. If you’re able to play a musical instrument, why not join a local band and bond with fellow musicians? This doesn’t need to be a rock band that plays live concerts or anything – it can just be a music group that is hosted by your local music school. #7 – Chat up your co-workers. We often have a close coworker or two that we talk to most often but then virtually ignore everyone else. Use the water cooler or lunch break branch out and chat with people you don’t normally engage with. Your coworkers are people that you see every day so it’s very easy to build a friendship and get to know each other on a deeper level. It’s always those few initial conversations that are difficult or awkward but then things get a lot easier. # 8 – Take a continuing ed class. Meeting new people is way easier when you’re all in a group and working towards the same goal. This is easily done during a continuing ed class. Continuing ed classes are usually put on by the local high school or community centre and are great ways to learn knew things, start a new passion project and make new friends! #9 – Meetup.com. Meetup is a great way to find people in your neighborhood that share your interests. You’ll also be with a group of people who are open and willing to make new friends. This is so much better than just trying to strike up conversations with random people at a bar. I did meetups when I was single and I had tons of fun, I definitely recommend this. #10 – Through your kids sports/activities. If you have kids, they are a great way to meet up with people! You can mingle with the other parents and sports events, day care or playgrounds. Asking about their kids or talking about yours is also a great way to break the ice – people love talking about their kids! #11- Volunteer. Not only does volunteering help your community, it’s a great way to meet nice people! People who volunteer tend to be friendly and helpful and will be more than willing to let you in and help them with their cause. Be sure to volunteer for something that you feel passionate about and this will be fulfilling in more ways than one. #12 – Join a Gym. Instead of working out at home or going for runs outside, why not join a gym for a chance to meet some new people? Even better is to join a gym class like yoga, zumba or kickboxing. Then you’ll be in a group with others who share similar interests and they’ll likely invite you to hang out with their other friends in the group as well. #13 – Talk to your neighbors. Sometimes we get so caught up in looking for how to meet new people that we forget their are people right under our nose! Your neighbors live in the same community as you so you have a lot of things in common and neighborhood gossip is always a great ice breaker. #14 – Host a large event and invite Acquaintances. Acquaintances are friends waiting to happen! They are people you know and have met multiple times before but they just haven’t crossed the line to friendship. A great way to get to know them is to host a large event or party where you invite your close friends as well as your extended friendship circle. Getting to know these people can also lead to meeting their friends in the future as well. #15 – Book clubs. Book clubs are great ways to meet people who share a common interest in reading. The best part about book clubs is that the whole point of them is talk to other people and discuss events and opinions as a result of the book. This means the ice has already been broken and you’ll find that chatting with people in this group is a lot easier than a sports class where the activity doesn’t require you to mingle. #16 – Garage sales. Checking out garage sales is a great way to meet the people in your neighborhood. Garage sales can also be quite boring to host (a lot of sitting around) so the host is often willing to partake in a friendly conversation. The stuff they are selling are also excellent icebreakers and you can easily strike up a conversation by asking questions or making a friendly comment about their stuff. #17 – Check out a local festival. Local festivals or events are another great way to meet people who live in your area. They’re usually free as well and are a fun way to get out of the house and start meeting new people. Festivals can include parades, cultural events, children’s events or block parties. #18 – Wine/Beer Tasting Tour. Sign up for one of those beer or wine tasting tours where you go as a group. Some of these even involve getting in a car and travelling from bar to bar together. This is an excellent way to start a conversation with the others in your group. Another perk is that you’ll all be a little tipsy – it’s the perfect combination to start getting chatty! #19 – Dating Apps. If you’re looking for a romantic partner, I definitely recommend dating apps. I actually think they’re an essential part of the dating process. At one time they might have been solely for hookups and one night stands but they have transferred over to being a totally viable way to meet quality people. Sure, there are some people on their looking for a one night stand but they’re easy to filter out.
