Reply:think of the things that you do like and are interested in, then look for and join clubs with like like minded people, ie, dancing,walking,collecting, there are many different types of clubs out there, or maybe start swimming or bowling or even take up a new hobby.


you will be surprised at how quickly you make new friends.


and who knows, you might even find the person of your dreams.


good luck and i hope you find what you are looking for.

Reply:Hobbies are always great for meeting likeminded people. Try doing somthing new that you have always wanted to but never had time for before. Whatever takes your fancy....art classes, aerobics, learn a foreign language? If it's a "class" situation you may not feel so intimidated and fins it easier to chat to people?


Hope it works out for you!
Reply:go out and make new friends.
Reply:Love is the answer to everything. All you ever need is love,


communication and understanding. That's what I figured out so


far. If you are down, you need to get up and start doing something with


your life. Don't need to be shy, be straight forward and allways say what


you want and expect from the others.

If you have the time, and you are looking for someone, complete this simple


form and start dating.

Reply:You didn't say if you were hot or not! That of course will affect your chances.
Reply:Have you tried going to online dating sites? That way you could get chatting with someone before you potentially suffer any panic attacks. There are plenty of people on dating sites who are not necessarily looking for romance, but just friendship. A good site I'm signed up with is Uniform Dating. It's a quirky site, worth checking out. Good luck

Reply:It is difficult when your friends are settled, as their priorities change and also the kinds of nights out they like will change. Why not arrange with them a particular night that you meet each week, so they can arrange child care in advance, or are there any clubs/classes near you that are starting, something that is fun where you may find like minded people? if there are then grab the bull by the horns and join, try not to think yourself out of it, think of it as an adventure and chance to meet new friends.
Reply:first off, relax. don't be in a hurry to meet people. put yourself back together before anything. if you're set to go, then here are some pointers.





-take a class (yoga, salsa, cooking, etc.)


-if you work, talk to co-workers or people around your job


-ask someone a question (directions,clothes)


-internet (careful though)





those are places and things you can do to start meeting people. just relax and people will come to you.
Reply:I've recently become single myself after a 6 1/2 year relationship, I'm 26, from Bournemouth, if I lived a little nearer you I'd cheer you up and go for a drink and a laugh :o) but we can still chat via email if you like.

Reply:Oh hun where are you ? you can meet people on here if you want to chat just mail not a problem at all x
Reply:Try to go out and mix with new people.
Reply:Become a prostitute, the money is good, you meet new people and confidence will improve no end knowing people love you long time...problem solved.
Reply:After a significant relationship break up, I did things wrong. I should have focused on going out more, either with my friends (who are in a similar position to the one you describe), or by myself. But I was lucky, I'm in London and there's always things to do (gigs, galleries, etc) by myself. There are lots of ways to meet people online, then meet them at gigs after you feel comfortable with meeting them.





As for you, have you thought about book clubs and the likes, or local dramatic groups?
Reply:oohhh did mr flible scare you? I hope not.





well I have moved once in my home country , and then to Ireland and now i am in U.K.





So I literally did not know anyone, and am not a pubcrawler as I am married with kids and don't have time for that _ or too much of it. when I have been ready to meet people , I have joined classes of things which interest me. funnily enough i was not in the mood to do a first aid course , but needed it and managed to meet several people who became friends.





it is no use going to a gym to meet people , if it does not interest you and you land up dropping out, likewise with any other club that will not really interest you.





if you have any hobbies ,then perhaps you can start to meet people online in a forum. perhaps some live close to you and it can evolve into a friendship .





once you have thrown yourself in the deep end , you will love the confidence it gives you. do small things by yourself like going to eat out. i love doing that and at first was very amused by people who would watch me and obviously be wondering why I am on my own. not many people can do that without feeling self conscious, so instead of thinking you look like a freak , be proud that you are an independant person. my family are not interested in tagging along to every museum, gallery and concert in the park , so I sometimes do them alone. perhaps go out on weekends when people are off and take a dog for a walk ,that way you won't be lonely and people don't stare as much. perhaps some hunky dude will be walkinghis dog. get out there! good luck.
Reply:I am not really sure but maybe you could try 2 make a friends on the net that live locally {I know that can sound scary} and take it from there. Otherwise you can email me and i will chat with you.
Reply:You need to try to go where people are, then you will meet them. There must be something you are interested in, do you have a dog? If so, instead of whenever you walk him, take him to your local park in the early evening about 6 pm, you will meet all the other people with their dogs and that is a very friendly situation where people talk to each other readily.





Also what about your local church/mosque/synagogue/temple? Even if you are not very devout, it doesn't hurt to turn up and they often have lots of social activities.





What about politics or charities? There surely will be some cause that you would like to offer some of your time to. That's a great way to meet people.





Not to mention study of any kind.





If you think you're likely to have a panic attack just take it very slowly wee steps at a time. EG if you wanted to try my suggestion re your dog, just start by ringing the council and finding out where is your nearest off-lead park. Next day, drive past and check it out, after that go there with your dog at a time when it won't be busy, etc.
Reply:Can you look into local adult education courses? That way there's no pressure.. you can go and learn something but at the same time meet new people.





Alternatively I met tons of people when I was a barmaid. You get to know local regulars, both male and female. Plus you get a bit of money too.





EDIT: Oh yes, have you joined MySpace? Chances are there are people near you who also use it. If you're in the UK Friends Reunited might be fun and you could meet up with old school friends.
