Looking to meet new people

Hi everyone. My name is Jessica and I'm looking to get to know some people in the Bay Area, preferably people who live in or near Palo Alto. I've been here for about 4 months now and it's been hard to make friends because I work a lot during the week. I'm free on weekends and after 5-7 pm (depending on when I get out of work) on the weekdays.

A little bit about me: I am a lab technician in one of the Stanford labs. I graduated college in May and moved here in June from the East Coast. I enjoy going out for coffee and dinner (maybe even drinks) when I'm getting to know someone, but I really want to go out and do fun things with people like go to SF or to amusement parks or even to the beach. I'm a big dog lover, so if you have a dog, feel free to bring him/her along! I also like to watch different movies and tv shows on Netflix. I'm also a huge Marvel fan, from the movies to the tv shows on both Netflix and ABC.

Please message me from a verified Stanford account to verify your identity (you never know with all these scammers on the internet...) and maybe we can set something up sometime soon!

NOTE: I wish I didn't feel like I had to emphasize this, but I am not interested in going on dates with people. I'm in a long-term, committed relationship with my partner and I don't plan on changing that anytime soon. So I'm only looking for friendship.
