After keeping track of my social outings I feel that I’ve demonstrated to myself that I’m easily capable of meeting new people and hanging out.
Throughout these 100 hangouts, I got most of them hanging out at my weekly church service and at this weekly bicycling group. Most of the time I’ve been socializing with people I already know, but I still feel like I’ve only skimmed the surface of what a real and deep friendship is like. Sure we’ll see each other each week for a beer, but my friends aren’t great friends.
Next I’m going to try to build better friendships to give more meaning and depth to my social interactions.

I had a good week last week. I had a two days where I was able to hang out 3 seperate times. I’m excited that this coming week I’ll be able to call this goal complete!

Only 16 to go. It looks like I’ll be able to do this within 2 weeks. Although lately I may have been putting up fewer numbers per week, I have enjoyed them more. In the times I hung out I spent more time with the people as opposed to going from one party to the next.

Not bad, I’m more than 3 quarters of the way done, and I’ve still got 5 weeks left to complete my challenge.

I hung out lots of times this last week, however I didn’t have a ton of fun at a lot of these activities. Hanging out with lots people is pretty fun and all, but it seems that having a friendship with someone is more rewarding than knowing 20 people who you may see every other week for a little bit.
I went to about 7 events where there were lots of people, but where I didn’t have a good friend there. However, later in the week I went to my fraternity and bonded w/ my frat bros who are my friends for life. And over the weekend I went to my Sister’s birthday party and it is always great to be with my family.

Well, this last week I didn’t hang out much at all since I was trying to study for the GRE. But this coming week, I’ve already got activities planned for each day!

I have been seeing the number 43 a whole lot more often in life since joining this site. Perhaps I just notice it more often now, and this week I’m almost halfway done with this goal. I also have noticed that I did 7 out of my 8 hangouts this week with people from my church. I’m pretty thankful for these people, yet I’d like to branch out and hang out with some new friends too.

This last week I managed to hang out on every day of the week again! Things are going really well and it looks like I’m on pace to break 150 by the time my challenge ends. However, as a result I’m kind of scrapped for time for the rest of my projects. Oh well, it’s the summertime in Seattle! I can’t pass up all this fun.

I’ve put some effort in this last week. On every day of the week I hung out with somebody!
