Today is my birthday and it is my first birthday in Beijing,I came this new city for the first time do I have not any friend here. Fortunately my girlfriend had lived here for some years so she asked some her friends to celebrite for me. It should have been very happy today,however,I found I cannot get on well with these new friends though I had tried my best because we shared different interests and we had different characters.Therefor I couldnot be happy all the day though I pretended to.
But my work requires me that I have to stay here for several months,how should I make new friends or how can I get on well with her friends?What should I do?

I think you should try to get along with her friends the best you can, but also make your own friends. Maybe as time goes on you will get along with her friends better, they may grow on you. If not, it is important that you make your own friends that you do get along with so you don't feel lonely while you're there. Good luck.

Thanks for your advice,but I am shy and the major people I face everyday are my classmate because I am very busy and often go out on business. Evertime when I come home I am very tired and I JUST want to sleep.I have not enough energy to make new friends ,the only free time is a few minutes online talking to friends like you ,but I want some friends in my life.It seem quite hard.

Hmm.. I am shy too and do not make new friends easily. I also don't like most people I meet in my day to day life so I makes it harder. Maybe you will get to know your girlfriend's friends better and might start to like them? At least you have your girlfriend there, right?

Maybe that is my beat choice to stay with my girlfriend,we live together,cook together,watch TV together and go out together. I think she must have realized my loneness and be happy with me , she love me and I love her so much ,I have talked to her that I will try me best to get along with her friends again and I am optimistic for my future life,thank you!
