Northwest NJ New Friends (Women only)

Rockaway, NJ

When you're young, making new friends is easy - the opportunities are everywhere! However, as an adult, it can be much more difficult. Are you a woman that ended a relationship or marriage to find out you have no close female friends anymore? Are you new to the area? Did you put all your energy for years into work or education and now want to broaden your social circle? Did you spend years focusing on having children or starting a marriage or relationship and are now missing the companionship of friendship? Do you have interests or fun things to do that you simply have no one to share with? Well, you're not alone! There are lots of women out there looking to make new friends that simply don't know where to start - so why not start here? To join this group, all you have to be is an adult female, live in the Morris/Sussex county area of NJ, and interested in meeting new friends. You don't have to be childless, looking for people to meet men with, or interested in getting together only in bars (although all those things are welcome as well). We're sure there are other people out there with similar interests or with things they want to do that other people would be interested in trying. We do ask for a yearly contribution of $5 to help offset Meetup dues and events costs. Looking for someone to take an art class, zumba class, or go to an outlet shopping center with? Post it here! You may be able to find someone with the same interest or that's willing to give yours a try! We're more than open to anyone posting ideas, or even last-minute invites to things they want to do (see a movie, try a restaurant, go to a concert) with someone to enjoy it with. Looking forward to a lot of fun!

Morristown Improv Meet-Up

Morristown, NJ

Hey Morristown (and surrounding areas) - I run an improv meet-up group out of the Morristown/Morris Plains area. We've existed now for over a year and it's been a really great experience. The group is purely for fun and free of charge - we get together and play improv games (mainly short form, though some long from more recently). We also attend live shows as a group and watch improv together. It's a no-pressure situation for people of all skill levels. I personally have about 6 years of improv experience at this point. Other members range from totally inexperienced to years of experience under their belt. Everyone is welcome. We also have a Facebook group which can be found here: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/1779972715771320 ](https://www.facebook.com/groups/1779972715771320) Please Note: It's a group that gets together to do improv together, not a performance. We as a group also haven't been aiming to do any live performances. This is just for fun. If you have an interest in doing improv comedy with a group of likeminded people in a fun, no pressure environment, you should join us.

Lets make some friends

Gillette, NJ

This group is for people who are struggling to make friends even though they are sociable, outgoing, passionate, and love to try new things. Its hard to make new friends when you're new in town, over a certain age, have prioritized family over friends, or work remotely. There is no theme, no central activity until we decide what it is, no interest that is too far fetched. If someone likes board games, we'll all give that a try! If someone likes cooking, let's meet up at their house and try something new! If someone likes brewing beer, like the founder of this group, lets grab a six pack and do it! The goal here is to make friends in a way that doesn't feel forced or uncomfortable, but rather just find a place in an easy going fun environment to connect.

Our pace is generally about 2 miles per hour. Some trails are hilly, some have steep slopes, some have very rocky terrain and some have difficult stream crossings.
