Advice from Amy Dickinson.
One way I am trying to meet people is by hosting small dinner gatherings where I invite a group of people whom I think might make for interesting conversation. These people may or may not already know each other.
I want to get to know people better and this consistent weirdness has been frustrating and saddening.I shared your question with Richard L. Kyte Ph.D., director of the Ethics Institute at Viterbo University, whose new book, “Richard Kyte reminds us: “Dinner parties are great ways to connect people who are looking for ways to broaden their social circle, but they may not be the best way to start out trying to make friends in a place where most people’s social ties are already broad and deep.
This is why “third places” are so important for meeting people and making friends. They serve as neutral ground where people aren’t burdened by the obligations of guest or host.”My mother married young and had five children.
