What is a good way to meet people?

Well. You seem like a nice enough girl. I am not from Miami though. I can help you a little bit with meeting people. But, it will require you to "step outside your comfort zone!" You see, the very easiest way to meet someone, is to walk up to them, and say, "Hi, My name is "Flirtykumquat." I am new in town, can you suggest a great place to meet, nice friendly people around my age? Or, Could you show me around? Or Nice to meet you. Of course, some like you said, may think you are crazy, but then you will know more people. Oh, and I would use your real name, not flirtykumquat, or you will probably get some very interesting responses. That you aren't prepared to handle. Aside from that the best you can do is study people, learn about the personality types. This makes it easier to talk to people. And always stay positive. I know it is easy for you to droop down into sadness. And you want to learn about others, with out giving them much information. You like to get the facts, figure things out before you get in too deep and such. But, that is what I have to say in way of advice, best of luck miss kumquat.
