There are various groups for different subjects, such as "Spanish language, 20-30 nightlife, knitting, coffee lovers, etc for each region.<br /><br />Also, okcupid.com is a free<br /> dating site but it's very chill and I've also used it for making new friends.H to the izzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10085717646769257907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1499952934596280848.post-37394739215526207512009-10-26T22:21:52.170-07:002009-10-26T22:21:52.170-07:00I clicked on the link to this post from another mo...I clicked on the link to this post from another more recent post.<br /><br />I get it. We're in that "in between" phase. We're settled, but unsettled. We like to have fun, but not the same kind of fun we did a few years ago. And our time means more to us. I get it. <br /><br />I've found it easier to have a few good friends. That way I can really focus on them and make time to grab that coffee. And, it is tough to find those few good friends who aren't either nursing or "clubbing" (do they even call it that anymore? haha!).<br /><br />But you know, I like where we are. :) And I know....I just know....that there are more of us out there....or out here, rather.

I've had many episodes like this and I'm pretty sure there'd be more to come. Sometimes, I hate to admit that I can be a shy person. I've had many regrets where I've met with people but never actually spent a great deal of time with them, just chatting about all sorts of stuff. My friends would be SO busy and I hate feeling that I'd be killing their precious time. And I'd be depressed sometimes for the fact that I've got so many blessings (perhaps too many) that I got no one to share it with. <br />I agree with you with the friending site. Most likely people would treat it as an another 'social networking site'. By the way, I'd love to grab coffee with you if only we weren't distances apart; I would have contacted you immediately.Mary Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06477984670114457659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1499952934596280848.post-55264097721641960032009-10-22T17:26:23.992-07:002009-10-22T17:26:23.992-07:00Holy moly!

I left behind all of my close (like hanging out all the time, close) friends and family behind and moved to a place where I knew noone. It has taken awhile but I have managed to build up a little groups of friends to play with I would suggest joining a local group or something? I joined a fitness group and meet two awesome girls.
