New to Denver - Need Extrovert Friends
Hi Reddit! My wife (28f) and I (32f) moved to Colorado from Michigan about 3 months ago. We don't know anyone out here, and we've been struggling to make friends/get involved. Both of us are pretty anxious in large crowds or in new places, so putting ourselves out there to be more social had been pretty taxing. Even when we have enough confidence to go out or attend events, neither of us is the type to start conversations with new people, so the nights usually end without us actually making any new connections.
I keep joking that we need extroverted (and preferably queer) people to adopt us! We're hilarious and fun to be around, but we need someone brave enough to start the conversation or drag us into things!
We regularly partake in ~gardening~. My wife is big into playing sports (basketball, volleyball, softball, etc.) whereas I'm more of a spectator for those type of activities. We both love animals and have multiple pets. We love music or concerts and would be down to attend just about any show! We want to do more hiking/camping/adventuring as well.
I guess just looking for events that could help us socialize, or like I said, a group of extroverts that would be willing to take in two misfits from the Midwest!
We live in Aurora, I work in Golden, so really all of the Denver area is fair game as far as location.
Thanks in advance!
