Vehicles to meet new people before moving to Downtown/Pearl
Hi-
May be moving to downtown/pearl district area and want to know the best vehicle by which to meet other 30-something professionals for getting together, hanging out.
Would hop on Match to look for friends but thought I'd ask the locals first!
Thanks  |

Oh my, lol! I read this, thinking you wanted to know what would be the best vehicle...as in car....to get to "lure" friends your direction.

Sign up at the Meet In Portland message board and get friendly on-line before you actually move. |

car hoods!
That was funny....maybe I will do that. Just throw my blonde hair and blue eyes INTO people so they have to connect with me somehow!!
Thanks for the tip :-) Better be a big car..I'm a tall chick!
I will check out that meet portland people site too. I've read that porlanders aren't very welcoming to the transplants, so I hope that's just rumor and crazy talk.
We will see :-)

I think what I did 30 years ago to meet people here still holds true today. Internet aside, cause it didn't exist then, joining special interest groups is a great way to meet people of like mind. Then it's easier to connect with the individuals in the group.

Start salsa dancing. That's what's worked for me. =)
No but seriously, meetup.com is good. Craigslist is good, too, but only if you're looking for friends of the same gender (in my experience).
