Meetup websites... creepy or not?

I'm looking to move in the next few months - where is dependent on who wants to hire me - and I'm trying to brainstorm ways to meet people in places that I don't necessarily know anyone. I know there's always the option to just go out to, like, a sports bar and seeing what happens, but I'm also looking at more structured things. :laugh:

So, websites like meetup.com I'm intrigued by because there are tons of different groups and events and interests, and I feel like I could potentially meet new friends and have fun. But, I've never done anything like this so I'm just curious if anyone has any experience with these meetup groups.

I just don't want to be "that girl" that ends up on the news. :laugh: Any experience? Advice? Suggestions? Hit me with 'em.

    My friend moved to Baltimore and has joined a bunch of the meetup groups (book club, broomball, floor hockey) and she's met really fun and nice people! Hope that's helpful :)

    I joined one a while back. It was for ghost hunting. I only went to a few hunts before meetup.com started charging fees and the group kind of disengaged. Go for it, but use your better judgement - always make sure the meeting is in a public place.

    Kind of miss it.....
