         This really is a interesting question.  I don't consider myself 
as reserved as this, but I am also not one for big group socials nor do I 
feel very comfortable in this type of setting.  I am sure there are many 
who may also feel the same.  

          So along those lines, what might be good ideas for people who 
are not interested in large group social activities?  Some ideas that 
come to mind would be: (Taking this tv thing into consideration) Maybe a 
movie club where a small group goes out on some regular basis to the 
local movie theatre.  I think one very important aspect is if you can 
find a small group to hang around (rather then large socials), you meet 
up with their friends and make friends with them as well.  It has a snow 
ball effect that atleast work very well for me when I moved into a 
strange town one time and did not know anyone.
