Hi,

Thanks for replying and pleased I am not the only one! I am used to having a social network but it's the one thing that evades me in Cyprus, and the one thing that would make me consider leaving unfortunately. Limassol is great yes and I am keen to meet some people in similar circumstances to me and make the most of what it can offer.

In an effort to meet others I joined a gym, took up golf and I plan to enrol in further study in January. Work colleagues are generally married with young families so there isn't much opportunity there. I don't really go to bars alone (though I have I the day) but I do manage restaurants...though that can be awkward at times too. Have also tried the theatre and a music in the mountains event. The few networks or groups I have come across tend to meet during work hours so are maybe aimed at retirees or people with kids. I'm pretty outgoing but with these long dark nights I am afraid I have slipped into work->home->telly mode! I know I must try harder hence me signing up to this forum!
