Think Of A Theme To Initiate A Gathering

You're bored and have free time. Your friends are also bored and have free time. Or you're lonely and want to hang out. Or you know people you just met and want to get to know them more. Start a gathering. To start a gathering, you need an idea or theme or the something to do something. The something is easy as playing poker, watch a movie, eat cheese and drink wine, to the elaborate having a party, and to the creative bring a DVD to trade a DVD, bring a video game to trade a video game, or bring five dress ties to trade five dress ties.

Initiating a gathering makes you a starter, a starter to get people together. That's good. Personally, when I was in college, I was an initiator. I was an idiot to realize being the starter is important in a circle of friends. I incorrectly thought being the initiator was being the initiator only. I always had to do the starting, the organizing, and if my other friends did activities, I never be invited.

Being the initiator, the person who thinks of a hang out theme, is important. Your friends treat you with additional respect that you get everyone together. If you feel all you do is initiate and your friends do other activities among themselves and exclude you, then you probably want to find new friends. And it's acceptable you friends have other friends outside your circle of friends and they hang out among themselves.

Good luck and never give up finding new friends. Always meet new people.
