meet new friends?

[dina.marie]

can anyone suggest a way of meeting new friends? ive lived in this area about a year and made one or two friends through my fiance but i just feel really lonely. i joinned a gym but it wasnt a very socialble place. any ideas???

Have you got any interests? Perhaps you can make friends through a club (not a disco club). What about taking a course at the local centre?

thats just the thing. i dont really have any hobbies or anything. tbh i feel so boring, im only 21! i feel like a right hermit at the moment. was looking forward to going to mother and baby groups in the new year, gotta wait a little longer now i think!

netmums? I know you aren't a mum but I'd still have a look

Or, is there anyone near you on the forum? I've met up with Sam&Alice off here and she's LOVELY!

I would try and find a class or course that interests you - something that lasts a few weeks so you have a chance to get to know people, good luck dont be lonely

When i moved down south i ddint know anyone and weve moved a few times round kent so i never got the chance to make friend and im very shy so i find it hard to make friends

but when we settled in Tonbridge and James started working away i was depressed bored and very lonely so i got of my lazy back side and took a deep breath of courage and joined a local martial arts class, water arobics and dance class

i made some great mates from martial arts and we had some hilaroius nights out together and a few of us did the great south run last year*i roped them into it it p*** down with rain i got a right telling off for that

anyway
do waht i did look into local club and groups and join them i did it on my won as i didnt know anyone but it was the best thing i did as i had a brilliant time scary at first but worth it

ive become great mates with one lass local to me and ive met another im getting to know
and im talking to 3 others and where meeting up after i get back from my hols in cornwall

I'm in the same boat. I don't have any hobbies, no money to join clubs and have baby in tow. I try and spend time with my big sister, but now OH has gone to work he takes the car.

I have much the same problem. I left all my friends which I had from been little to move down to Sunderland with Lee (40 miles from where I used to live) I find it very hard to trust new friends as the ones I have had know me inside out... ive made afew mates down here but im used to having someone around me all the time... the friends that I have made are younger then me live with their rents and dont have the same things going on in their lives as me at the moment... they dont understand that I cant go clubbing every night and shopping at the drop of a hat cause ive got bills to pay etc....

I'm the same hun I'm 21 and don't really have that many friends!

I was at Uni in Scarborough and had some really good mates, but since I've moved back down here I'm really lonely. My friends from up there all seem to have moved on with their lives, and my old friends i've caught up with back here don't seem that interested in me all because I can't and won't go out on the p*ss with them every Friday. They all still live with their parents and don't seem to understand we have a house, rent and bills to pay... now trippley hard I don't have a job and am finding it impossible to get another. I moved back here to be close to my family again only i'm now unhappy as I have no friends. Don't get me wrong, i love my OH to pieces but sometimes you just need a good girly night and a chat!

Haha I wasn't much help there was I! Sorry I rambled, i'm going to try and take on some of the things people have suggested here!

Dina ive just joined my loacl netmums thing and already have had 3 emails from girls!!! im just TTC and im not a mammy yet and they have welcomed me!! worth a try....

to be honest its quite spooky cause the first one to contact me lives quite close and she has lived where Im from originally and her grandparents still live there... quite spooky eh!!

 

[dina.marie]

i think im gonna have a gander at this net mums, thanks

 

[MrsBrightside]

you might as well, they contact you throu email so if you dont wanna meet straight away you dont have to, can just spend some time getting to know them over the net first until you feel comfy!!!

I haven't met any of them yet but we seem to get on well and they all live pretty close to me which would be hand!!

All I did was stick a post in the meet new friends bit and now ive a few email msn buddies but at least they are local and once everyone is comfy meeting would be nice!!!

good luck hun I know how hard it can be to make new friends!!!
