Hey Mimi, How are things going? I saw you joined meetup groups, I just joined a few too where I live, which groups did you join and how did those activities go? I've never tried it, so it will be a step into the unknown for me.
I hope you had some fun this weekend!
I joined 3 groups: a workout group, a dealing w/ divorce/seperation women's group and also a fun women's only group. I deleted the divorce group and didn't go to any meetups b/c I noticed from the profiles most of the women initiated their divorces or were already throguh the process and I'd rather be around more like minded people/positivity....not WAS's (though im sure some had very valid reasons for leaving)...unfortunately.
The work out group I attended a 5k w/ a few weeks ago. It was ok...this was about a month ago...the leader of the group was the only one who showed up.....she brought her husband. I felt a bit odd.....like there were a million people around but I still felt all alone. But I pushed through my feelings and did have fun. I haven't been to another meet up with that group only because the meetups conflict with my work times....but I would definitely do an activity w/ them again. The push to work out is great.
The last group is an all women's group w/ ladies from the area who are new here like me and don't have many friends in this area. I went out to eat with them 3 weeks ago...it was nice, they were all kind. They have not had any meet ups since that one b/c the leader was on vacation...but I signed up for 2 events in November they have planned...I look forward to them.
Meetup is a great idea/website.
