I am separeted, where do I go to make new friends, just friends?

Question

I am seperated, through this I have lost my old friends. I need to make new friends, just friends, male and female, no interest in relationships. I need a new interests and need to be able to go out and not feel its all couples. any suggestions?

Answer 1

Looking at it realistic it's difficult for anyone man or woman to go out alone and try to mingle or gel into new company especially if you lack self esteem.

But a good base for to start is actually here on yahoo ,why don't you make a 360 yahoo page and invite various people from here there are a lot of genuine people on here who would be glad to be your friend I'm sure and maybe in time you could meet up with them just put in a search on your 360 page of people in your area and invite them as a friend and if you choose I'll be your first to get you started :)

Hope this helps

Oh! and you should be ashamed of yourself ,you've just for a minute made me forget I'm a ninja lol

Answer 2

I'm sorry that you're feeling lonely at the moment but try and think that this is the start of the rest of your life. Have you thought about joining a night class or a dancing class? Lots of single people make friends this way. Could you get an evening job in a bar a couple of nights a week? I did that and made lots of friends. Good luck. x x x x

hi babe,
find your local paperor magazine and turn to the whats on or groups page. you'll find clubs, groups and classes for mor or less anything you could wanna do.
personally i do line-dancng, creative writing, freeform art(which im cr*p at) and sewing too! i also swim three mornings a week and have seven pen pals all over the world.
your local school, village or town hall will also have a brochure or leaflet about tjhe clubs and classes you can join.
good on you for wanting to get back into life. and here's a tip, try something you've neverthought about trying or never attempted before. my mum and nana convinced me to tryline dancing, and i thought it was going tyo be really boring and all old people. imagine mysuprise when i found out half the twenty or so people were thirty or under and i have so much fun. ive made some brilliant friendsthere and we've travelled all over the country competing iun ocal and national competitions too. it's immenser and a wicked way of keeping fit too. id recommend it to anybody.
gd luck babe

Answer 4

A good way is to find some dancing classes. Most that go are singles and you dance in pairs. You could not fail to make a lot of new friends. Learning a language at night classes is good as when you get to know your fellow students there is always the after class drink and the out of class get togethers to speak the language.

Answer 5

Far be it from me to judge your relationships, but if somebody dumps you because you are no longer married or are in the process of a divorce, then they were not a true friend in the first place. Consider it a blessing, even if it's painful.

Since you asked for suggestions, I'll provide mine :-) Find a loving, supportive church. The circumstances of your separation are you own business, but a good church family can provide you with the emotional support you need, and can also provide you with friends in a safe haven. I'm not advocating going to church as merely a social outlet, but I do believe that in times like this, you have an opportunity to draw closer to God and his family.

Answer 6

You can try out going to the gym, a class you may want to try that interests you, if you have any hobbies...seek groups in that particular hobby you enjoy. Support groups, women's groups. Go for walks.

Start up a conversation anywhere, you see people...like at grocery stores, coffee/tea shops. Meet people off Yahoo 360. If you have any kids, connect with the parents of your kids ages. Some may be single parents. Start your own group...numourous places, where you can meet people.

Ever since I left my ex, I became much more social, I can start conversations now at the bus stops, when I drop my child off for preschool/daycare, I talk to some of the parents in there. I say hello, how are you today? start from there...

Answer 7

I would suggest joining a class at the local college. Nothing that needs loads of study or homework - just something relaxing - art, jewellery making, sugar craft anything really.

If you have the time what about becoming a volunteer for a local charity that works for something you are interested in, Animal welfare or restoration etc.

Good luck.

I may more helpful if you could specify the country and areayou live in.

Answer 8

In your quest to re-establish old or new friends it very important for you to start by finding some contentment within yourself and also engage a lot more in social activities like book clubs, gym, movies etc...by having positive aura and engaging in positive activities it becomes easy to attract people into your life and you become interesting.

Answer 9

Well you didn't state your age in your question (not that you have to) but if you are over 18 you can look for recovery groups for singles, I know of one called Celebrate Recovery and these are lots of times singles who are learning to reconnect after a divorce/breakup, usually you can find these types of groups at churches.

Answer 10

If you can afford it travel. I have been on my own for a while now and every so often book myself a vacation for a week or two. But do avoid 'honeymoon' destinations, that is not going to help your morale.

Whatever you decide to do, get out there and have fun.
