It's nice to have friends that you have had since you were young but sometimes one of you moves away and you drift apart. How to find friends as an adult? Especially if you have moved to a new city. As an adult it is a little harder to form those bonds we easily made in a sandbox as a child.
If you have recently moved to Missoula County and have yet to bond with one of our over 100,000+ residents here are a few tips and ideas to help get those friendships flowing!
KIDS ACTIVITIES - If you are a parent, one of the best ways to meet others is through your kids. Missoula offers so many different activities that allow us parents to set on the sidelines or in the theater seat (http://www.mctinc.org/ - MCT, a Missoula original.) with handful of others just like us. Take advantage of these moments. Some of the best adult friendships come from these meetings.
SPORTS - http://ci.missoula.mt.us/ is a Missoula site that offers tons of information on The Garden City. Under the Services drop down is Parks and Recreation. This is a great place to find activities for your kids but tons of Adult Activities are also offered. This is a great way to meet new friends and stay active. Soccer teams, softball teams, heck even Sand Volleyball teams are forming now. If running is more your style Run Wild Missoula will be your choice to find those friends with the same mindset as you -http://www.runwildmissoula.org/.
VOLUNTEER - Find a cause you are passionate about and you will form a strong bond with others that share the same values and beliefs as you. http://www.americantowns.com/mt/missoula-volunteer-organizations
WORSHIP - If you are a religious or spiritual person take time to visit one of our many churches and find that perfect fit for you. http://www.makeitmissoula.com/community/churches/
And of course when in doubt, SMILE. A smile goes a long way. "Your smile brightens the lives of all who see it," writes Dale Carnegie in his best selling book "How to Win Friends and Influence People." You never know when you are meeting a new friend!
Missoula is one of those special places that people talk about all over the country. Everywhere I go people have heard about Missoula, know someone from Missoula or have a relative here or most often have been through on vacation. Missoula has managed to make many of the country's "top 10" lists for many different reasons. This blog will reflect the people, places, events and all of the cool things that make Missoula, Missoula!!
