My wife and I moved up here in 2011 and we quickly discovered that if you were childfree and have no dogs you have virtually no shot of meeting new people. We got lucky that our first neighbors were childfree and around our age, but they were unicorns and definitely not the norm. We only started making friends when we joined group fitness classes and the membership luckily skewed older. If you live in a town that doesn't have a lot of transplants, you're pretty much SOL. The "natives" already have their friends that they grew up with and their family and have ZERO interest in meeting you. At least, that has been our experience.

Yeah, that could be the case for us, since we are pretty new to our town. We got new neighbors that are our age, but they are rarely ever home and when we have tried making attempts to do something with them, there was no response.
