fomerlyniceguy Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Here is the situation. I'm 32 years old seperating and eventually divorced and have no friends. Ok I have a couple but they are either living in another state of married and otherwise preoccupied. I have always been shy and introverted. I have to get out more. So I need some suggestions. How do you make friends? It was a lot easier when I was a kid, now that I'm an adult I don't have a playground full of potential friends. How do you guys go about meeting people and making friends?

Walk Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Welcome to my club. Nice of you to join me here. ha. I lost what few friends I had after my divorce too. Tried to make new friends, and I've been having a heck of a time. Join a club? Got anything you're interested in doing or learning? My town has this cool club for outdoor enthusiast (not texas, sorry.) but they'd go hiking or canoeing in different places as a group. Neat way to meet people. I couldn't afford it on my meager salary though. Specially right after the divorce. But their activities were geared for all fitness levels. You didn't have to be the super buff out door enthusiast. You're local outdoor store might have info on a club in your area. Good to meet you formerlyniceguy! Link to post Share on other sites
Author fomerlyniceguy Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 Nothing like divorce to make friends go away. My wife is getting most of the friends I get the couch. Sounds fair. They were pretty much her friends anyway. Yeah I'm trying to find things like that to get involved in so as to keep me motivated. I am taking much better care of my body now so soething like you described would be perfect. I guess it all comes down to getting out there and getting involved. Thanks for the advice, and nice to meet you. Link to post Share on other sites
Walk Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I'm going go to a starbucks, stick a sign in front of me that say's, "Wanted: Interesting conversation with down to earth individual." Think that'll work, or just bring out the freaks of society? Link to post Share on other sites
