how to make new friends

You could look for a meetup group in your area. There are groups for any interest you can think of. For example, I belong to a boardgame one, I don't participate in it often, but I know that there are people I can go play games with twice a week if I wanted to. There are more general ones too. The best way to find one is to go to meetup.com and check out what is in your area, and browse through them to find one that interests you. Hope that helps.

Hmmm, I really don't know onlydia. I make all of my friends through my wife. For the most part she makes friends at work. But all of them don't all drink either. Sometimes they do, sometimes we all meet up for happy hour. But sometimes the friends that she and I have made (through her) will go out and have dinner together. Sure, we will have a few drinks at dinner, but it is optional - you don't have to have a drink, only if you want one. I hope that helps in some way. Maybe you can take a class or something and meet people that way.

Try the library, local events, join a city board or committee, hit civic organizations like Jaycees, Kiwanis, Knights of Columbus, Eagles, coffee bars, chamber of commerce, or a health club. Good luck!

Well, I never have alone time myself. I am married with 4 children who all vie for my attention. I would love some alone time. You could maybe join a church group and meet people there. Or, you could maybe take 1 class at a community college and you will probably meet some people there. Or maybe take up a craft class at a pottery place or something like that. It is hard to think of things. Oh, if you like reading maybe a book of the month club where everyone discusses what new books are out there and what they like or dislike about them. I really don't know of any other ideas, sorry. I seem to be the center of attention in my situation. Have a nice day and happy myLotting!!!

Good day! For me, I don't like to go to the bar alone and don't like drink and don't like to talk to somebody I dont know Generally, I will go out with my current friends and they will take their friends; and then, I could know more new friends like this way; perhaps, it is an old way to know friends, but I like it

Hi, I make new friends through internet or through texting Even if I don't get to see them I still consider them as friends when we communicate with each other regularly. Who knows we might see each other personally after some time. I also make friends in organizations or clubs.

It depends on what your interested in. There's church groups, youth groups, quilting groups, reading groups, all different things that you can get into. Our town has a group of ladies that get together once or twice a month that make things to give to low income families at Christmastime. Ask around and you'll be amazed at what you find.

Well we are in the same boat....I don't drink either.....so it's a struggle to find some where to be where there isn't the drinking...I have also joined a few organizations...but with my schedule they take too much time...I used to bowl and golf but my legs don't like all the stress anymore....and I have taken classes a while back and I am thinking of doing that again....I did meet some people there....I know you work nights too so it's even harder for you! Hope you can find a place to meet some people!

Hi friend, I make friends through yahoo messenger or through groups.In that way i make new friends.Some times i will look after my slam books to see the email id and add them in my messenger.In that way i try to communicate with others Have a nice day

I don't think so that to make friends is easy.It's a difficult act really.

I do drink, but I don't go to bars. It's not my style. I meet some new people in the coffee shop in the center of the mall. That's one of the English speakers hang outs. Small town. If I see a friend/s there I join her/ them. Other people do the same. I meet friends of friends. I've also met many new people by joining groups, clubs, and taking classes. I'm with 2 volunteer groups right now. I've been with several others. I'm helping my community and meeting people at the same time. I've also taken classes at the community center. I'm not taking any right now, but I will again. I have several good real friends from classes. Not just acquaintances. I meet people walking my dog and when they are walking theirs. Don't get a dog just to meet people. Dogs are a huge responsibility, a lot of hard work, and a lifetime commitment (15-20 years). But if you have a dog people are likely to want to talk with you just because you are with a dog. If you get busy and do things, help your community, you will meet people. You won't be sitting in the house.

If you like comdey then you should check out JeffDunham.com you will like him. We are going to see him for Christmas. And, the kids love him too. He is cool. Check out on of his video's if you like him go see him he is on tour. Also, the big mexican guy in the Hawiian Shirt. I can't remember his name but you can ask someone who knows comdians.

I understand how you feel. But, the only thing I can think of is to look in the local paper and see where people are gathering at in places you like. For example, fair, circus in town or ball game. Just go out to different things. Try everything at lease once. Even car shows or mud runs! You can meet some of the nicest people in the most unusual places. I met a nice lady who's grandson was in a mud run. His truck had to go across the big pit of mud and it was fun to watch them all get stuck. I had a great time. By the end of the night the grandma had interduced me to some really nice people. I have four new friends.

I really want to heip you ,but I am staying in China, please be happy my remote dear!

You need to be easy going to make new friends. Show openness. At the beginning of a friendship you may need to be a bit aggressive, not in the sense of aggression, but to know more about people and let them know you.

i make new friends by talking, chatting, texting them. i also want meeting new friends, but sometimes, i'm also having hard time to get along with their attitudes, so just be it. just be cheerful to them, go out with them, and have some funs with them.

hey, i'm sorry to say this but you kinda look geeky, maybe going to a library will best suit you, as you know there are alot geek in the room to fill up even St Peters.

for making new friends get more involed with like a church group or something in the community what your hobby see if there a club that is your hobby
