Meeting people in a small town that you want to date, and subsequently get into a relationship with, isn’t as challenging as it seems.

A good place to start is at town events.

Go to these.

A small town has social events at the town hall, town square, or park.

Get out there and meet people who live in the town.

This is where you get to socialize, giving the townspeople an idea of who you are as a person.

In doing this, you get to relate to a number of townspeople who connect with your background.

Go door to door in your community and introduce yourself.

Since these a small town people, there is a greater sense of community than how people are in the big cities.

Small town people know their neighbors.

Go to the homes of people in the neighborhood, or close to the neighborhood you live in, and introduce yourself.

No, you don’t have to bring them cookies.

Tell them that you are new in town and wanted to introduce yourself.

Tell them a little bit about your background and where you moved from.

Keep it brief though.

You don’t want to be too overbearing this soon.

All you are doing is giving them an idea of who you are, and letting them know that you live nearby.

By doing this, several of them are going to invite you over, so as to officially welcome you to the neighborhood.

Get involved in popular activities that the townspeople engage in.

Small towns are known to have spots where people congregate regularly when they are off work or enjoying a weekend.

A local lake in a small town is one of those popular locations.

Go to the lake.

Even if you don’t like fishing or hanging around the water, open yourself up to this activity.

Once you are at the lake, and mingling with the townspeople, be yourself.

There is no need to act as though you know anything about the lake.

Your presence alone is enough.

In being there, you are putting out the effort to be a part of the community, and this is enough for the townspeople to befriend you.

This is where people strike up a conversation with you in an attempt to get to know you, being that you are a new face.

Social events and popular locales is great when you are intent on meeting people in a small town, but also consider making an announcement in a local publication or newspaper about your presence.

Provide information on skills that you have.

If you are good with numbers, let the townspeople who read the publication know that you have expertise in accounting or bookkeeping.

Being small in population, it isn’t out of the question that the town’s regular accountant or bookkeeper has retired, and the townspeople are looking for a new one.

Showing townspeople that you have a skill is beneficial to you.

This goes for any skill that you have to offer that the town is deficient in and is marketable.

You get to fulfill that opening and serve the community.

This is how you get the townspeople to find value in you and come to you for your services.

As they come to you for your services, you get to meet the townspeople and build rapport.

Whenever you meet townspeople in any extended capacity, several of these people are going to be great candidates for dating and relationships.
