<p>I've never been very social or good at meeting people, but I've been in this dorm for awhile. I know a few people, but we just don't have similar interests. I don't drink or smoke, and most of my friends here... that's all they do. </p>
<p>I don't know how to meet anyone new, and I hate feeling lonely. This semester I have a single occupancy room as my old roommate moved out to an apartment. He wasn't very social either. It'd just be nice to have someone come over and hangout. I never meet anyone new.</p>
<p>I'm a guy. 20 years old. Transferring to a different college in the fall.</p>
<p>Meet people in cafes? Re: alcohol. You don’t have to drink a lot. Just socially drink. Don’t drink to fit in, you can always hang out with drinking people without having to drink yourself. People do talk about other things while drinking, it’s generally not the focus.</p>
<p>The way I’m meeting people is through photography :)</p>
<p>Do you leave your door open when you are hanging out? That can help you meet people. </p>
<p>Are you a member of any clubs or anything like that? </p>
<p>You need to actively pursue meeting people. Join a club or two and be active it it. Talk to people in your classes and club, be the one to start the conversation. Suggest starting a study group or something like that.</p>
