outgoing
Loves meeting people
Outgoing describes movement away from a point of origin: the outgoing tide, outgoing mail, the outgoing president whose term is ending.
Applied to personality, outgoing means friendly, sociable, and comfortable initiating conversation with strangers—the opposite of shy or reserved: She's outgoing enough to talk to anyone at a party.
