If you are a single adult living alone in a major metropolitan area—you may feel as though you are surrounded by a sea of couples. Perhaps many of your old friends are in serious relationships or have moved on to marriage, and many of your co-workers could also be attached. Therefore, finding other singles to form social networks with may seem difficult or even impossible, and you end up either staying home or joining whatever singles groups may be available in your place of worship or neighborhood.
Would it surprise you to know that there are many singles near you who are experiencing the same thing? The problem is that people usually rely on friends or work contacts to introduce them, chance encounters that may or may not result in making an actual connection, and apps like Tinder. While all of these can be helpful, they are often not enough to provide new friendships and relationship possibilities. Meet-up has done a good job of providing more of these opportunities for people, but it can be a challenge to sort through the multitude of offerings, choose something that works in your schedule and is easily accessible, and get in touch with the contact person. Too often, contacts take a long time to respond, groups are inactive, and/or they meet infrequently.
But there is a new option in town—or at least in a select group of metropolitan areas—and hopefully more will be added over time. It’s called mysocialcalendar.com. All you have to do is go to the site, check to see if your metropolitan area is listed and become a member. Then you will get immediate access to all the events and trips that are offered. Even if you don’t find love right away or not at all—you could meet some new friends who could become good friends and build a network of supportive and fun singles who enjoy the things you do.
It’s worth a try.
