Wondering how to meet people when you live out in the sticks? Do you ever get sick of seeing shows like Sex and The City and Girls, shows that take place in huge metropolitan cities and make it seem like there is a handsome stranger waiting around every single corner to sweep you off your feet? If you live out in the sticks like so many people do, then this kind of life can feel completely foreign, and not representative of anything that you have ever experienced in real life before. However, don’t give up before you have begun, there are still plenty of options for those of us who live in more secluded and sparse areas! Here are some tips for how to meet people when you live out in the sticks.

1. Join Clubs
If people aren’t going to be around you in a natural way, then you need to find places where they are going to assemble in a meaningful way! Clubs and societies are a great way to do this, and if you find a gathering dedicated to a specific interest or passion that you have, it means that anybody you meet there will already share something important in common with you.
2. Online Dating
You should try the world of online dating because it opens up a much wider pool of romantic interests than you would usually get at your local village pub! Sign up for something like Tinder and it will give you literal distance markers between yourself and your matches, which is important when you live out in the sticks!
3. Say Yes!
When you live in an area where opportunities don’t come along that often, you can’t be picky with which invitations you accept! If a guy asks you out but it is on the night that you like to watch your favourite show, then the show can definitely be put on hold! Life is too short to be postponing dates in the sticks.
4. Volunteer
Another way that you can get out and meet people whilst also giving something back to the community is through volunteering. The good thing about this is that it takes a certain kind of person to want to volunteer, so you know that anyone you meet whilst doing so will have a good, kind heart.
If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.
5. Pub
Get down to the local pub, after all that is where most of the action happens when you live in a rural area! It might be cheaper to have a drink at home, but there is so much more going on down at the local, you never know who you might bump into!
