I started attending this yound adult church and they have a picnic this Saturday. I'm already involved in the church ( I'm part of the team that counts the money). I did it so that hopefully I could maybe make new friends -I decided to change the type of friends I'm hanging out with-.

So I've been doing that once a month for the past 5 months but I can't call them my "friends" since we don't hang out outside church. It looks like they already have their own "group" of friend anyway.

I'm really debating on whether or not I should go, since I will probably be by myself.


Gosh, it's tough trying to make new friends lol.

You go, mingle, be as social as you are comfortable with, walk up to someone and start talking about the Church and what other activities are available, etc.

It really is a matter of taking the first step and introducing yourself.

If you lived closer I would go with you then we could not know everyone else together and probably meet some really nice people.

Bring your well behaved dog that is a great way to meet people that are like minded.

We did that at a company picnic one year and Walter (the dog) was the biggest hit of the party, everyone loved him and he loved everyone.

G-fused- There are actually gonna have some fancy games but unfortunately I don't know how to play them.

CSD610 - yes it would have helped if I went with someone I know. I would definetely be more comfortable.

G-fused- I don't have any pets; and I don't think it's allowed in the park we're going.

I guess I'm left with option of just walking up to people huh? Not sure how that's gonna work for me.

Sometimes if you just show up and stay within a group, someone may start talking to you. But keep eye contact (as though you want someone to approach you).
