(are we allowed to mention such things here? i'm not a paid promoter, promise!). it was a GREAT way for me to get out and meet new people who SHARE MY INTERESTS!!! whatever it is you like to do, there is a group for you. in my area, there is even a group for nicholas sparks fans. personally, i find that a little extreme, but you get the point there is something for everyone, even groups specifically for singles. you can get as involved as you want... it's up to you. change starts with you, babe! you've got this! and yes, definitely please keep us all posted!!!
Great idea.....
When I moved to LA, I had nobody....It was so depressing....I start searching on the internet to find a group for hiking...not to mention that my sister was checking on me and telling me to not trust anybody on the internet and going hiking with them in the mountain means signing up your dead certificate....hehehehe....well....I didn't quiet listen to her!
I found a hiking group on the meetup....of course I played safe and I went there and saw group of people (normal people) going hiking and nobody really knew each other.....and that's how I made some very good friends....we all have the same goal....we were new in the city and we needed to make friends plus we love hiking.....wonderful.....I see them regularly after three years and they are my friends here in Los Angeles....
check out the meetup groups, I'm sure there are tons of them in Florida....
