Default Where can one meet friends here?

I am not new to Dubai, I have been working here for quiet sometimes, my issue started after my separation, I have been trying to find some friends to go out with but unfortunately it is not getting anywhere, people tend to be very closed to themselves, or just with those they know.
I am 31 yrs old woman and really a nice person to know, and certainly friendly! I don't have issues getting alot with people, an would really like to have a nice time, coz life is short!and I don't want to let it pass before my eyes while I linger in the past or stuck on my own.
Sorry if this is the wrong thread tho..am new here!

Is there anything that you like to do, sports, partying etc?

Sports can be a good way to meet other people with the same interests as you.

also keep a check on here as there are occasionally(used to be weekly) gatherings and nights out that some of the posters arrange.

I know exactly how you feel. I spent 3 months living in The Greens and no one spoke to me, now I'm at Dubai Marina and am spending lots of time in the restaurants on my 'Jack Jones'.., like that guy in One Hour Photo.

When I was living and working in East Midlands, I knew everyone and they all thought I was great.

Hey girl I know exactly how you feel, actually I am going trough the same stage but for another reason. I've been in Dubai for sometimes also but most of my friends left the country or went back to Paris. It was quiet hard at the beginning but now am ok.

You can give me a buzz if u want to go out for a drink.

hello naturelover,

There is a group of us that organise weekly outings, there is actually two guys form Jordan in our group, very nice fellas I have to say

However we don't really post the plans here anymore as lately no new people were joining so we stopped opening the plans to others.

But if you PM your email address I can let you know of whatever we plan for next weekend in case you want to join us. We are a group of expats mostly in our 20's - 30's and we have people form all over the place (UK, New Zealand, Egypt, Bermuda, Seychelles, Germany, Denmark, Mexico, etc.).

You will need to make 5 posts though before you can PM me. Better not to post your email address here unless you want to receive some nice spam/weirdos asking you out on dates
