How to make new friends???

[girlie]

Hello all....Gonna sound like a right sado now....

......How does someone go about making new friends??? The friends that I have now are either busy with hubby and babies or they are friends I grew up with,who don't get me wrong I love dearly and they will always be my friends,but sometimes I feel as if I don't have much in common with them anymore!!! All they seem to want to do is go to the same nightclubs everyweek and look at "fit" guys,lol...It would be nice to maybe go for a film or a pizza,but this they view as a waste of money! They never want to do anything during the week apart from sit at home,I live alone and this can be very boring,really starting to get me down!!! Feel as if all I do is go to work come home,go to bed then start again.
Occasionally go to the gym,but everybody there looks down their noses at you! Went to evening spanish classes last year,but it was all people in their 50's/60's.......any ideas??? xx:hug: xx

i know what u mean. most of my friends have just finished/still at uni and because i didn't go to uni i dont have much in common with them anymore. i don't have many people i see regularly except my boyfriend and some of his friends! i work with some lovely people but they all live too far away from me to socialise and not sure if we'd get on outside work!!

i don't know what to suggest but just thought i'd let u know that you're not alone!!! xx

aww hun, i know the feeling its hard when your friends have diff ideas on whats fun isnt it? and i have same problem at gym, very snooty some people

all i can say is having kids was great cos i met loads of like minded people at the school gates, lol and i joined the PTAs to socialise rofl (now thats sad hun)

im sure there must be other evening classes , with younger people in them?

sorry i couldnt be anymore help

hiya,

I had this problem recently, esspecially when i started to work for myself. You basically have to force yourself to try new and different things that you wouldnt have done before. If you've got something that your interested in then try it!

I now go to watch ice hockey everyweek. I met a load of nice people through the fans forum on my teams website and go out with them alot. I also play badminton once a week with some nice ladies. I also tried jewellary making at college (didnt like that though). I've met people from here who are lovely and go round to theirs every so often.

have a look at the local leisure centre to see what they do, local colleges etc thats what I'd do... good luck xxxxx

Looking at your profile and how interested in beauty you are id say carry on doing college courses but do some holistic ones.You could try indian head massage or relexology.I met some lovely people doing courses and had some good fun.You just need to pick the right courses.

I think getting out the house and trying new things is the way to go,thanks xx
