How to meet people in college or otherwise?

Hello,

I am currently a senior student in college, graduating in December 2011. So far, I have made very few friends. The few friends that I made I made by randomly starting a conversation with someone in my class, but this is something I can only do seldom when I am in the mood and something creative comes across my mind with which I can start the conversation. But usually nothing comes to my mind.

I can't approach people on the street because I don't ever know what to say to them. Once the conversation is somehow started, sometimes it seems to flow but I don't know how to start it and often even during a conversation I run out of things to say.

I tried registering on websites such as match.com and chemistry.com, but didn't find anyone interesting or attractive on there. Facebook seems to be for talking to people one already knows.

I live in a suburban area so there aren't many social events going on that I know of.

I am frustrated because I am almost done with college and I have no idea how and where to meet people. I would like to make some friends and/or get a girlfriend.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me at all, about how and where to meet people?

Thanks.

 

Maybe you should stop putting forth effort in this area. Once you don't want it as bad it will probably happen.

I think you just gave a popular advice that is totally opposite of what I should do. I am not putting enough effort in this area. Things don't happen on their own. My question is where to meet people, and how to do it. Not whether or not I should.

 

It's easier to meet people and have conversations with people who have similar interests. Write down a list of everything you like to do, then do some searching to see if there's groups or clubs for that sort of thing in your area. There's often internet meet groups for people with similar interests.

It'll be easier to talk to people you have something in common with, and you'll know that everyone is there for the same reasons. Also, going to the gym regularly or joining a community sports team is a great way to meet people and get in good shape.

Check around your school too to see if there's after school social groups, study groups, extra-curricular activities. Volunteering is another good way to meet people.

 

It seems like all my friends came to me by chance or fate. I go to college too but don't really talk to people there.
