Thanks for stopping by my thread the past couple of days. I am in the same dilemma as you, I am not sure how to start to GAL. I am somewhat of a shy person when meeting new people but eventually open up once I know someone better so it will be hard for me to start making friends.
I do a lot of bicycling and when the bomb first happened, the first thing I did was join my local bike club which worked out great. Unfortunately, the season is over for us cold weather folks and I am now trying to find other stuff to do. Other things I have been looking at:
-Leaving in 5 minutes to join my local gym. While I am in good aerobic shape from cycling, I can still stand to shed a couple or 30 pounds. Thinking mediation/Yoga/Pilates classes would be good for the body and mind.
-Started looking up local meetup groups, found one for music lovers/musicians that I might check out.
-I do go to a bar or restaurant every now and then but it does feel strange at first
-Trying to find concerts to go to
I have also spent more than a few nights hanging out at Barnes and Noble drinking coffee and reading self help books!
Let me know what works out for you, I could use more suggestions as well!
