3. Meetup
At number three on our list of apps for meeting cool people and making friends near me is Meetup that is a veteran when it comes to bringing people together. It can serve both as a dating app and an app for meeting other people and making friends. Besides browsing profiles and chatting with users, Meetup also gives you an opportunity to join groups that have a certain interest. Those groups then organize “meetups” and gatherings which can attend by the members of the group.
