I had several friends in CA. I went out everyday to clubs, bars, mall, and etc. Its a dramatic change now livin here in Texas. I went from popular to Loner. Actually, Its now just me and my boyfriend. But he made friends at his job. We only have one car, so whenever i do go out its mostly with him.
I tried making friends on local sites, but i come off desperate and lookin like a weirdo-LOL! I want some friends..please! HOW???

The best way is actually doing activities which are usually crowded, gym and sports centers are usually the best places, billiard salons if you play pool, bowling allays if you play bowling or even attraction parks. The easiest way to start a conversation with a stranger is simply asking a question to that person even if you know the answer, it's an easy ice breaker.

one thing that makes a person "popular" is the ease with whcih they take on a leadership role, and that is why people want to be around them, look up to them, admire them and call them friend. by taking on the role of a popular person, just do what should come naturally to you. be a leader, in the supermarket say hi to those near your age- start a conversation. not cut righ t to the "will you be my friend" question. volunteer at the local humane society, surely someone who works there knows someone who would certainly like to get to know you better and wants to show you the scene. plus you will help an animal and relieve stress in the process. what are you interested in? if your a homemaker, are you planning children? certainly there must be some club/group there focused on family you could attend. you mentioned you went to the mall with your friends. well just go to the mall by yourself, walk and excersize windowshop, whatever. just be a "popular kind of person" put yourself out there, with the sole purpose of having a good time, a good conversation and leave the whiny please be my friend behind you. be confident.

I am kind of in the same situation that you are in and I also live in Texas so maybe we could hang out sometime. I am also a homemaker and it does get very lonely. If you ever want to chat, e-mail me.
