Get out. Make friends. Meet people in NJ.

Looking to expand my friend group

I'm at a point in my life that many of my friends are married, living with someone, have kids, etc and I'm single and lacking a consistent group to go out with. Personally, I find it hard to do the NJYP events because most of them are during the week and quite frankly after a long day at work I'd rather stay in and relax, especially in this cold weather we have been having. I'm wondering if anyone else is feeling the same way. I'd like to find some new people I can get a drink with, check out a new bar, or have a singles night out. I'm 30 and live in Middlesex county.

Did you guys end up going out?

Hello everyone! I just wanted to message everyone, Karen and I are planning on getting people together this Thursday at 7PM at the Famished Frog in Morristown. They are having an ugly sweater party, and it looks like a great time. There's no cover, and lots of specials on tap it looks like. Hope people can join us :) Message me if you'd like.

That's a good question. What ever happened to the meet up in Somerville. I'm still interested.

Happy new year everyone! Wanted to see who might be interested in getting together for some post holiday drinks and conversation. Maybe an upcoming Saturday some time this month? Was thinking a Spuntino on rt. 3 in Clifton. It's a great wine bar with tapas and the option to order dinner off of the menu. Would love to hear your thoughts. -Karyn

I am also in the same situation. most of my friends are oversea. I have no relatives or friends as I just moved to NJ due to my job couple months back. I have been trying to make friends but find it hard as I just wanna stay at home after a long day at work. however I feel lonely in the weekend as I have nobody to hang out with. Definitely we can make plans and go out some times. I am 24 and turning 25 soon

Hi Melanie,

I can definitely relate. I'm in union county but not too far from middlesex county.

I can dig it.

If anyone is interested, I have 3 seats for The Daily Show tomorrow. This could be a way to start things off. I'm in Montclair (Essex County) but we'd have to meet at the studio. Feel free to call/text if interested or if you know anyone that may be. JW. (973)-280-5124
