Social Circle

Yesterday, I was thinking to myself that this social circle thing is so hard to do; I wish these guys helped me out more in me forming the social circle. In the morning I went to the gym, older women, married women in there. After the class everyone left. Also I go late to classes so I don't really get a chance to talk to the girls/ women before the class. I have been this way ever since I was a kid; I never go early to a class, so I always missed out on the opportunities to interact before class.

After the gym class, I drove by some local churches. I parked my car by one of the churches, but soon realized that it was an Armenian church and was probably not the best place for me to start looking for youth activity groups. Anyways I was in shorts and sweaty and I could not go into the church. So I head home, frustrated about the difficulty of forming social groups.

At home, I visited the different church websites to see if they have activity groups, still no success. Then I tried meetup.com, I kept looking but did not find something I liked or was convenient enough for me to attend. I was giving up, but then I got frustrated and went through the website again. I looked at some yoga, tennis groups etc. But they were too far, etc. I then found some groups that I would like, but they did not have activities listed in the near future, or the activities were shown only to the members. So I was going to give up again, but I held on and I found a feature on the website where I could see events that are coming up in the next few days.

So I looked at some events coming up in the next few days and I found a bowling activity. It's an Asian group that is meeting up for bowling, and then going for yogurt later. I was thinking this is a good group to start with. Then I found another group through this group, it was an Indian group in Long Beach and then through that group's page, I found another Indian group in LA. I won't be able to go to the Asian bowling group this week since my company is sending me to a class in Bakersfield and I will only come back Friday. But I will try to go the Indian group activity in LA this Saturday afternoon before class.

Today I showed one of coworkers the Asian group and he wanted to come with me too, so maybe next week I will check that out too. The Baskersfield plan just cancelled so I will try to go the events this week.
