My T is nudging me to go out and meet real people. I understand why this is a good idea (I don't really have any close friends at the moment, those I've got a couple people that I get together with once or twice a year) - although I worry a little that we're putting the cart before the horse, since we haven't yet really done any "fixing" of all my broken, crazy issues.

But I'm thinking about it, seriously.

I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with the websites out there that help match up people to be friends. It sounds weird, but apparently, they're starting to pop up.

For example:
https://www.socialjane.com
GirlFriendCircles.com-- a site about friendship

GirfriendCircles seems a bit more organized, but also expensive (something like $60 for a year, then $8/month - if I'm reading that right, I wish it were spelled out more clearly!) - but they run all sorts of activities that help you find people with common interests and actually get to know them. That sounds great!

SocialJane - I don't know as much about, it's a bit cheaper (maybe just a one time signup fee of $15?) but it looks more like a dating site, where you have to review profiles, reach out to people, and set up meetings.

I guess I'm just curious to hear if anyone has ever tried anything like this, and what type of results you got? I'm having trouble searching online for people who use these sites and have written much about them.

Is it something you'd try? I'm an introvert, so a bit nervous... but also intrigued. I'd like to find some people to go do stuff with!

Thanks!
