Hi Liz,
I have tried a few meetup groups in my interests. I was told that the 'new comer' type groups don't last long/large turn over because basically the only thing you have in common is the fact that you are new. So go to a special interest group.
Anyways, the first one I tried was a group that had just started up. If you join a group you will get monthly e-mails of all the new groups--new ones are starting all the time. I happened to like the first one I went to & been to the next monthly meetings & plan to keep going.
The second one, even though it was an interest of mine, I didn't 'click' with the others & have not gone back to that one---but, there are several others & may try a different one. I think meetups can be fun.
So far the people we have sociallized the most with since we have come down here are great couples we have met in a church we have been attending & my husbands job. Unfortunally the neighborhood we live in are people who we don't have a ton in common with (just at different stages in our lives), but, I agree with what is said above...I cannot take a walk without a neighbor striking up a conversation--nice people.
