[quote=Anonymous]I'm from a small town.

I would go downtown for lunch at the same place every day.  Sit outside and make it clear you're not in a hurry.

Next step, figure out what clubs there are in town.  Are there any that you might be good at?  In my town, there were a bunch of volunteer types of clubs.  Do you have a skill you could volunteer with the high school?  Do you have any interest in trees that you could volunteer with some kind of tree club (mine had something like that)?  If all else fails, there's probably something like a Lions Club that I think you can join.

Find ways (clubs, volunteering, seeing the same people every day at lunch, etc) to meet people, even if they're not people in your demographic.  Once people realize they're around, they'll be eager to introduce you around.  In my town, people were always excited to be the discoverer of new friends and people want to be the one to connect you to the right circle.

My town was not particularly religious and I'm not Christian so I don't know much about how to get involved through churches, but I do know that there are frequently strawberry festivals and ice cream socials and chamber music concerts and sometimes those are open to the public.  Go.  [/quote]
