I just moved to a brand new city across the country where I don't know ANYONE. Will a guy think I'm weird since I don't have any friends? I'm freaking about how I'm going to meet anyone, let alone find someone cute to explore the city with. Help!

Nice advice! .... jeez ... haha ok well I can help you out! I moved across the country when I was only 20 ( I am 23 now). Do not be nervous about meeting people at all... it is so easy. Esp meeting guys... they will not think you are weird at all... not the least bit! If anything you will be a breath of fresh air since you grew up in a totally different place then them. Also if a guy invites you out and says bring your girls... make it a joke! say " I have no friends!! im new here" I did it all the time... everyone understands. If you go to a bar and are friendly with the staff/patrons you are bound to jump into a conversation someway and you might just meet a friend or a guy there. or get a job! I got a job within days of moving and the first day I worked I went out with my coworkers that night. If you are a fun friendly person you will have new friends in your life in no time! I lived it! .... You just have to put yourself out there a little bit... Also when you meet someone you dont exactly "click" with still hang out with them even if just one night at a bar bc you will meet other people through them. Also .... in the beginning you will be exploring the city alone... but who cares! Being alone and figuring out your new life will make you a better person... your self esteem will get a boost too. Moving across the country by myself was the best decision I ever made! Good luck :)
Epic fail on that advice MM... sheesh..
The exciting part about moving to a new city or town is the fact that no one knows you, you can let the past be the past and start something new. Its an adventure you know.
Alicia's advice is wonderful. Listen to her :)
Come on, Mystery Man! That was a terrible answer! Actually, I don't even count that as an answer. It's a link.
WTF! match.com, has nothing to do with her question. she asked if guys would be creeped out because she is the newbie without friends, match.com (??) WHAT!
I was actually excited to see the answer to this question since, I too am in the same predicament and sent in a similar question.

Umm, excuse me. What's the point of having you on this site if your gonna give half ass answers?
PLEASE people. Stop asking Mystery Man questions. Seriously.
It's already been said, but MM needs to get off this site. On the off chance he actually answers his quota of questions for the week, they're either wrong or inappropriate.
Stop hating on Mystery Man, if no one wanted his advice then they wouldn't ask him. So i say if you dont like what he says then just stop reading it. But you know thats just common sense...
Whatever. I like MM's answers, even when they are lazy, like this one.
Alicia, thanks for elaborating and good advice. I would add this: ask them to fill you in on all the cool spots in town. People love to do that.
MM, totally on target, but again, calling it in...
