When did you last meet somebody new?

I meet new people quite often. I find it hard to remember them the next time we meet and wonder if it's an age thing.
It's embarrassing. Today I met 2 women in the street who stopped me for a chat and I couldn't tell you how I know them.

Yesterday I met 4 people who came to look around my house as they were very interested in the previous inhabitants! They stayed for an hour or more and I would know them again. I think
They seemed very nice.

Summerfly I belong to National Women’s Register too, and it was indeed National Housewives Register many years ago. I’ve made so many friends through our local group. Someone new came today so chatted to her. We talk about anything and everything!

Thanks lovemylife and Aldom. I’ll have to look into finding one in my area.

Oops! Sorry I’ve posted this again. 😄

kircubbin. One female person.And my reason as to the name

This lunchtime in a cafe. They asked if they could share our table.
We had a nice chat about holidays. Probably never see them again.

U3A for me and a complete stranger while attending a talk and we found we have so much random stuff in common we have become friends. Meeting her and husband next week.

Do you have face blindness grammaretto? Propagnosia I think it’s called. I know b ecause I have the same problem.

I met an elderly gentleman in the park a while ago, who is quite convinced he knows me very well! I probably look similar to a previous colleague or family member.
After asking where I now live, (a good 200 yds) he now drops in for a chat & a cuppa every month!
He is great company, we have a laugh & put the world to rights but I am still wondering how to find out his name, so he doesn't twig that we are not old friends and become embarrassed!

Someone passed me in the street near where I live the other day said hello Using my name and I had no idea who she was. Still don’t.
Luckily we were walking in opposite directions and I was with someone so didn’t need to stop.

Someone stopped me in the street once and said how lovely it had been to meet up for coffee the previous week and have a good old catch-up.

I'd never seen her before in my life.

I meet new people all the time as I have a small campervan and go to meets all over the place, it's fabulous and so lovely to meet new people as well as regular ones.

I dropped into a Greggs for a quick coffee last week and a lone man at the next table chatted to me. About an hour later, he approached me as I waited for the bus, and told me that he’s there most days!

Still got it grannybuy!!

A few months ago I felt I needed to meet some new people as my social life was practically non-existent outside the family and a few old friends.

I made enquiries about NWR after reading a post on here and was all set to start a local group myself as we didn't have one in my town.

In the weeks afterwards I began to get messages and phone calls from old friends wanting to meet up, some of whom I haven't seen since well before Covid.

Since having quite a few meet-ups I realised that I didn't need any new people- the old ones are good enough and it is great to be back in touch. They all sought me out too, so that gave me a much needed confidence boost!

So sorry NWR I don't need to meet new people after all!

Day before yesterday! Went to a club meeting and got chatting to a member I hadn't seen before

I meet somebody new every day as I walk down to the each near my home, stop and have a chat with complete strangers, some become chums.

Try U3A -if there is one in your area , line dancing , knitting , learning Ukelele , go to a class , church coffee and ladies group ? I last met two friends about 6 weeks ago and they have become good friends already -I just got chatting to them at a concert .

Joined a community choir several weeks ago and met lots of lovely new people.

Last Saturday visited an an old friend, she had another friend I’d never met.

I have met 2 nice ladies at the keep fit. I had coffee with them and they have been best friends for years. I feel a little as if I'm intruding even though both have given me their numbers.Im a bit shy.

I was in hospital recently. I got talking to a lady who shared the small bedroom with me. Well, didnt we natter. It was wonderful as I live on my own. She made me forget how ill I felt.

When I joined aquafit at my local leisure centre. What a gorgeous group of ladies there are there. They have really made me feel part of the team

I met two new people last Saturday at a karate event. They plan to train with us regularly.

Have no chance of meeting new people after moving. 2 neighbours have a quick chat but the rest do not seem interested in someone old & wandering about on a stick when outside. Does get lonely but I do have my cat so trying to understand what he is meowing about 😹

Daily to be honest. I still work and am active in the community

I had a new carer start on Tuesday, nice lady and today while dusting she saw a photo of my husband and was quite elated as turns out she knew him as he and her grandad were friends and business associates. Amazing coincidence as she only really moved back to this area recently but she remembers my husband well as he always used to give her a fiver, yes he would I can imagine. Would having a friend request on Facebook count if so I’ve met two new people this week 🥰
