At some time or another, all of us find ourselves in a bit of a dating rut. Follow these steps to easily expand your social circle.

1.Do the things you love - Too many of us don't go out and do things because we don't like doing them alone. But I make it a point to go kayaking regularly, renting a kayak from a local shop. Why? Because this will put you in contact with other people who share your interests. And, of course, you'll be talking to these people, as instructed in Step 1. Also, no matter what your hobby, your local shop will probably have a bulletin board listing outings and activities of interest, giving you more ideas for meeting new people. Ask the counter clerk whether he knows of anyone who meets for your specific hobby. I've found several informal social kayaking groups this way.

2.Start something - This isn't for everyone, but if you're a great organizer, find a project. Do you notice that your new apartment complex or neighborhood never has any get-togethers? Why not plan one yourself, and hand out flyers? Or maybe you love scrapbooking, but can't seem to find anyone else to share your ...
... interests. Start a scrapbooking get-together once a week! Try www.meettheneighbors.org to help you get started.

3.Take a class - No matter what the subject, taking a class at the local junior college or education center will help you meet people. Pick something fun, like a cooking class, or something that'll really boost your earnings, like a real estate investing class.

4.Say Yes - Without even realizing it, you're probably turning down opportunities to meet new people every day. So, the next time your co-worker mentions that networking meeting she goes to every Wednesday, or your boss suggests a happy hour after work, say Yes. The more people you're exposed to, the more likely you are to meet people who share your interests.

5.Join a social club - In nearly every city, there are clubs to help people meet each other. Sometimes they're called Newcomers Clubs, other times simply Social Clubs. Regardless, joining such a club will give you access to unlimited potential friends - and will generally help you get to know your new city better, too! This is a fail-proof way to meet people, because everyone else wants to meet new people too.
