    I've just gotten on the single scene myself (though not ready to date or anything) and I thought this was going to be a real struggle.

    However, I also just moved to a new town and I greet everyone with a smile and a friendly comment or two. In the past few weeks, I've met lots of lovely people at the coffee shop, the local dive bar, the local restaurants, the shop owners and church. They have also had recommendations for places where I might meet people if I want to go out and mingle or just have a fun time.

    This could be my new community, but maybe it's also just being approachable with a smile and nice compliment for those you see around you? I could be totally wrong though, since, as I stated previously, brand new to this.

    I feel like meeting people now is so different then meeting people in the past. A lot of my friends met their husbands or boyfriends online which would have been unheard of years ago. Maybe try some of the dating website and see how that works.

    Last year I moved to a new city following a broken engagement and in the same position as yourself. May seem ridiculous, but I've met more people using Tinder (be careful, however it is the internet lol) than any other method. No long term relationships to speak of but I have dated a couple women I met through there.

    Church, the brewery, MFP, anywhere there's a social setting! Walk up and introduce yourself if you'd like to meet someone. The more you do it, the easier it is!

    You know, I've heard a lot of good things re: Meetup. You can find people with your same interests, and you don't have the pressure of online dating. My ex has been going to some of those and it's helped him just get in the habit of talking to strangers again.

    I was planning on checking one out later for a book club. You might make friends or more, who knows?

    it is suprising how well things can go if you simply open your mouth lol. i have to admit, at 35, I'm still intimidated by attractive women. If you have no interest in a girl then i'll have a pleasant conversation. if i like her, i spend 80% of the time thinking of something to say instead of just talking.

    i simply don't get out at all

    The gym (classes are great places to start) volunteer programs, college (take some night classes if you're already finished) church, parties, dog parks, the grocery store or mall (hot guys gotta shop, too!).
