i feel exactly the way you do sometimes, maybe you should try being more open and active, that could help you out.

Hiya it may be that your putting it out there to much and coming off a little much which is why you've ended up meeting a freak lol
just be youself not over frendly as that also may be the reason people seem to be backing off and 10 months isnt a long time you need to give it a chance and remember the more you go out the more people you will meet so just hang in there and it will all fall in to place soon. Also dont think it's you doing wrong as it is not its just a new area and the more the make youself think you are doing something wrong the more it is going to affect your confodance.

It is hard making Friend in London - I have lived here for 4 years and I have only made a few. Why not join a club? There are lots of clubs you can join that arrange different social events such a spub cruels, book groups, Sailing weekends etc. This way you would meet lots of people in the same situation.
Good Luck

Why are you living in London on your own? HOW are you living in London on your own?? I can't even afford to leave my parents house!
Have you tried taking a class in something? Maybe dance or aerobics or whatever you're interested in so you'll meet like minded people or even volunteering.
How about myspace? obviously i'm not suggesting you meet every weirdo on the net but maybe get chatting to some people, build up an online friendship and once you know a bit more about them maybe meet up (in a safe well-lit public place, make sure someone knows where you're going etc etc)

You didn't say are you in college ao work.
Should be eassier in college, just go to everything and you'll meet people in same boat.
In work people are a bit less likely to want to socialise as much because they have there own lives to get home to.
But remember good friend are hard to come by but worth waiting for, and holding on to throughout life, no matter where you move to.
Also just a comment it is also important when you meet new potenial friends that you are a good friend to them.

You may have answered the question yourself....friendly? in London? they're probably not used to it.
You're not doing anything wrong, although it's possible you may come across as a little desperate (yes, funny as you say you might may not be putting yourself out enough), be yourself and it'll come in the end.
Good luck!
