I feel like this question gets asked every 2 months in this bowl. Here are quick ideas
- Go to an event: There are tons of meetups every weekend that are posted about on ig constantly
- Join a sports team at Piedmont
- join a young professional group
- Go to festivals that match your interests
- Use your apartment/ community amenities
- Open up: Whatever you do, you still need to talk. People here have generally been very friendly, and many are transplants. My experience is there is a lot of openness

I agree with this. The hardest thing is actually putting yourself out there. Social anxiety is REAL but being able to overcome that in hopes of expanding your social network is worth it!

@ Consultant: you can also start with your college alumni Atl chapter. Google them and subscribe to their emails to get notified of their events. At least you’ll find people who share a common experience and have something to talk about

I'd recommend joining a Toastmasters club

Mid-30’s and have no idea how either. Atlanta doesn’t feel friendly to making friends.

I went through my gf’s phone and found out she had a crush on my best friend when we first started dating (over a year ago). I suspected this at first but it hurts to have it confirmed and see her telling her friends about him. I’m not sure how I should feel since I went out of line to look through her phone.

I don’t want to stop living a double life. I’m a 29yo bi guy living in a liberal city and I’ve dated a guy(29m) for 5 years. I fly back to my conservative small town and pretend I’m straight for my parents (and extended family) because I don’t want to disappoint them or cause them any pain. I love them and I love my bf, and I want to keep both aspects of my life as they are today. My bf wants to meet my parents but I really don’t want to bring that drama into my life

Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF. I did ask this with our doctor and he said casually its all same. This is not to question any doctor but just to really understand what is going to be different with the kid. This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.

Has anyone actually found love at work? My best friend started at a new company 6 months ago and she just took an offer somewhere else because she and her senior manager fell for each other. After 6 months she knew it was worth leaving her job for! I've been working at the same place for three years and I went on one date with a guy who didn't even work with me he just worked in the building. What am I doing wrong.
