As much as we love building relationships online, having face to face interaction is still a priority.  Wondering where you can go for the best social networking in real life (IRL)?

It’s not who you go out with or where you go, it’s who you meet when you get there.

Even the gas station, grocery store or post office has potential for some great social networking.  This doesn’t mean “spamming” people with your business cards at every turn.  How about just being a genuine and caring person?

How to connect with people IRL:

1. Make meaningful conversations

2. Ask thoughtful questions.

3. Listen to the answers.

4. Remember the conversation.

5. Follow up appropriately.
