Where can a guy meet girlfriend/or friends, when he is not outgoing?

This is me: 26m, when i go out, i go to look for a job, or walk for exercise, or to take the bus. to the library, back home, to stores, but usually i don't make any conversations with anyone. I feel that the places i go to is pretty much me and the street. for example walking, there is no one but me walking in the streets, . The library is a quiet place... stores are just me doing my business. So i dont' know what else to do to meet people for friends or to attract someone eventually. Seems there are no opportunities with where i go. Any clues? School was useless too, never had friends there either even in college. Sure for outgoing people school is a great place to meet people but it wasn't for me.

yes! I know what to do! I myself was a shy guy (and still am to some degree) but have learned to come out of that. Here's a simple fact: In order to meet people, you need to meet people! You don't need to become "outgoing" (in fact you probably never will be), but you should (eventually) be able to have the freedom to meet the people you want to meet without being stopped by your fear of social interactions. this is something you can learn to do and get so comfortable with that eventually you'll hardly notice it.





I want you to try to meet 5 new women a day for one week. They don't have to be people you're interested in. Anybody, old ladies, people working the checkout line...it doesn't matter. But you need 5. Just people you have a very brief, friendly conversation with and find out a few things about them. (If you need to cheat, you can even say, "Hi, I'm supposed to meet 5 new people a day as part of a program to overcome shyness. Do you mind if I take 30 seconds of your time to ask you a few questions about yourself?")





Please, as a formerly impossibly shy guy I beg you to try this.





If you're not able to meet people, there is NO place you can go to meet people. If you're able to meet people, you can do it anywhere, at any time.
Reply:How about a singles class/group? Most churches have these groups. How about taking a dance class? There should be plenty of single girls there to dance with.





You don't have to be very outgoing to just smile. If you see someone you like at the store, at work, or on the street smile at them and maybe they will make the first move. I have a feeling you are afraid of rejection and that is normal for a man or a woman. There are a lot of outgoing women that are probably just waiting for you to look up and smile at them.


Good luck!
Reply:Try church. There a lot of activities for young people. Also believe it or not....do your laundry at the laundromat and you will see a lot of single women there. Also the grocery store. If you do meet someone you think you might like please try to converse with her. My 20 year old daughter is very shy and even though she is very pretty, has trouble meeting fella's her age because she is not very outgoing. Good luck to you. I believe there is someone for everyone.
