Well, when I was in school it seems like it was so easy to meet new people. When I graduated high school and everyone kind of went their separate way I realized I didn't interact as much as I use to. I mean I still talk to people at work and such but actually making new friends I really didn't do. I have been taking online classes for about 6 months and just this semester I had to take a class on campus and I was quite nervous. Now I actually like going to class and speaking with people and stuff..Do you like talking to new people?

I work in an industry that makes it necessary to meet new people. I find that people I meet along the way have a hand in what I do in the future.
I once met a guy who I had a connection with. We shared the same interests, and he worked in the same field as me. It was a professional relationship that helped me land my present job, as he was the one who recommended me here.
So yes, I like meeting new people.

I am not that easy to make new friends. I remember when I was in high school, I never really talked to to many people. I did make one good friend that I am still friends with today. Most of my childhood friends have all moved away and we all lost touch with each other. The only new friends I have made were here on MyLot and a few other sites. Other then that, I am really not a social butterfly.

Well I am not going to really break out the trumpets and just call for a celebration, but I find it to really be an interesting experience to say the very least. Granted there are times where one must tread lightly when meeting new people and talking with them. There are times where it could be enlightening but times where it is going to be a headache.
Of course, what one does not realize is that the new people that you are meeting, you are new to them as well. So obviously it is going to be a rather tentative meeting at first, perhaps of no fault of your own, even if you are the outgoing one. So yeah, it is very much the unknown and sometimes I regret knowing some people but other times, it might be fascinating. It is very much a case by case basis.

I'm comfortable meeting new people but I find it a bit difficult because, well, I don't know how to initiate conversations. So if someone starts talking to me, it's easy.

I do like to meet new people, but I will admit that I get a little bit nervous around people who I have never met before, and this can mean that I avoid meeting people at times. However, I am alright with it if I meet people through friends or something like that, as I find it a lot easier to talk to people if I know that we have friends in common. And, if I can't think of anything to say to them, then I know that my friend will always be able to continue the conversation as they had been friends with them for a longer time than I had myself.

Good day Flirtykumquat,
With reference to your main topic, honestly, I really like to meet new people. Especially now that almost all of my old friends have gone their separate ways. Thus, I am really excited to talk, communicate and chat if ever I have new found friend. As I am really looking forward everyday to talk to those new friends that I have met.

i a typically shy to meet people but when really interested to know a person. i would do all my plan to get closer to him or her and talk to become friendly with her at first. so if this person show the same interest as i am. would begin to shower her with lot of affection and thoughtfulness. hoping for a lasting good relation or friendship to develop.

I know I had been such a failure when it comes to friendship. I didn't treasure most of my friends. And now, I made up my mind that I will be more friendly to others. Yes, I will be more open to new friends. New friends will also helps us widen our opportunities when it comes to life.

i do like to meet new people and later on friend with them.At first it is really quite shy to approach other people you really don't know.But eventually one will initiate the conversation through asking little help or asking something especially when you used to see the same people often.

no i dont like to meet new people. i fall under the category of introvert people and love being that way. i prefer to spend the same time with my family and enjoy that way. i prefer to maintain a low profile in a society and observe people rather than participate openly. i enjoy that way.

I love traveling with the purpose of meeting new people.
Knowing a lot of people means carrying out what God has determined.
Making new friends here is also a good thing.
I am happy to be one of mylotters. Are you?

When i was in school i interacted with so many people and got along with so many girls and guys and really had way to many friends and i still ahve them as friends but i dont talk to most of them the only one i really kept in touch with and actually see is YOU and i dont really see the other girls that i talked to that much anymore.
Now a days im at work and interact with my bosses and the people that work there but i dont get to see the clients that we have or get to see any of our customers at all.
