I have a few friends and they are all married with kids, or just married or have boyfriends and they are always going to family trips or couples nights out, and I have noone to go out and do things with.
How can I meet people who are single, but who are not interested in a romantic relationship?? I just need a friend to spend time with.
Can you help? Any suggestions??
I live in the UK.

I'm not in the UK but what I did back in my single days was to take classes in things that interested me (I took a sculpting class, watercolor, floral design, etc.) and I also went to events that interested me (art show, gallery hop, etc.). I met people there that had similar interests, became friends and went on from there. It's also how I met my husband.

Hey, I go through the same thing. I am divorced, have no desire to get involved in another serious relationship, just want to go do things.. and like you, all of my friends are married, or in a relationship and never want to do anything. You never said if you have kids or not. I did join a bowling league with my son. We really enjoy it, meet new people. But that is only once a week. One thing I know for sure is it is NOT on the net, hahaha.. they are all looking for romance. So I guess I will check this question for possible other answers

Possibly at work or join a organization to help your community and you can meet people there church, coffee shops, bars. First I think you need to go somewhere there are people that you think will have stuff in common with you then you can make friends there, I know it is hard to make friends it is un comfortable for me at least when your a grown up you can not just say lets go play. But if you go places where there are a lot of people like the places I listed and just start talking to people then they will start talking to you and then you will have someone to hang out with hopefully you will find a life long friend. I live in the US or I would say lets hang out good luck !!

You have to be around other people to meet and get to know them. Try joining some clubs or classes you're interested in. For example, take a kick boxing class or aerobics class. You automatically have at least 1 thing you and others are interested in. Be social and try to be interested in what others like. Smile a lot and you will have people wanting to be with you. And it doesn't hurt to be the first one to suggest that after class you go for coffee or do something else.

Just go out with them and mingle with the crowd. You have NO single girl or guy friends...no cousins? What about a married friend who needs a break?

Hey dear, See you are too good and please do not worry about those who are doing some things that is really not necessary to lead a healthy life.
What you are doing and how you are being is really means a lot and no need for searching for the people ...
Just wait and you will get a correct person for you life and god will be watching on you , so no worries.

It may be hard to do with a guy friend I think because we are wired differently I think you would be better of to find a gal pal and hang with her and DON'T worry what people think it is 2007 if you are jest friends or more it is nobodies business

Look for forums of a hobby that your into and meet friends that are interested in the same things you are.

Join clubs and organizations of people with similar interests.
Or investigate group tours for a vacation.
Good luck!
