How do you find time for a social life? I moved for my last role, then two weeks later, started to travel every week. Never had time to meet anyone near my house.

Try Meetups for the weekends based on activities you may be interested in .. Or just single Meetup groups. There were several conversations on FB about any dating app for consultants .. Whatever happened to that. I'd sign up for that.

Well you aren't traveling on weekends, are you? There are three meals each day to socialize if you really want. I just have a select group of close friends and my girlfriend. No longer do I have a large group of people is see so often. Quality, not quantity at this point :)

Problem is, when I moved here, I worked all the time and never made friends. So I'm super social at work, and truly introverted at home.
