Sometimes it's hard being an introvert. Where do introverts go to meet a possible significant other? I don't like bars, or going out in general for the most part. I also don't fully trust online dating sites. So, any ideas?

My city has meetups for introverts. I went to one. It was amazing. Everybody was talking up a storm. You would not believe this was a bunch of people who are introverted, shy, socially anxious, awkward. Every person there was relaxed and talkative. That would be a good way for a timid, introverted person to meet others who feel socially anxious. Nightclubs and bars - for me, that never worked. I had much better luck going to gatherings involving TED talks, book clubs, poetry groups, volunteer work. I like being with people who are intellectual, so the bar scene just never worked out for me.

Thank you for your input. I'll have to look into that.

You could start a meetup for introverts. I actually belong to one.

Sounds plausible.

There's something oxymoronic about that concept ?

@TheoryNumber3 Yeah, we don't get out much. Jk, actually the group is fairly active. It is nice that when we do hang out, it is going to be a laid back group without a bunch of loudmouths trying to run everything.

I went to a meetup for introverts. Was really good.

I tried a Meet Up group but as with most social gatherings I was by myself in a group. Sigh. Same goes for all the other old saws like take a class. Yes well if I could do that I wouldnt be asking for advice.

I tend to keep to myself in situations like that too.

See if you can get into Mensa... once in, there's a common joke that it's a self-help organization for introverts.

I don't know if I could get into Mensa. Lol

@Captain747ex realistically, it's not that difficult. Given the correlation between agnosticism/atheism and intelligence, the odds are in your favor.

@camne Possibly.

I heard about an app called meetup(?)
A way to meet people with shared interests. Not sure if it is regional.
But it is difficult. I don’t like bars either

I'll have to take a look.
