Default Hi .... Looking for friends in Dubai!

Hi i am 31 and single ! I have been here ( Dubai) for almost ten months now and yet to make friends ... whom i can hang out with . The few i do are the folks who work with me ( TV Channel). It's time i have friends outside the media zone. Anyone with a cool head, and an aptitude for wit is welcome !!

It's simple. If you want to meet people, you have to go out! You won't meet anyone by staying at home. Get out to a busy bar & get chatting. Or join a gym or class.

There is also a club for single women called The Bridgets. (Site won't let me post a link so its is: thebridgets dot com )

I would agree with you to a certain extent, Elphaba, however, if you're like me and work all the hours, sometimes its easier to meet people from sites such as this. This is a wonderful tool and it has helped me through some trying times.

hey i agree with ya, ok its mainly right you do have to go out to meet people but if you leave for work at 6 and dont get back till 7-8 then its hard to arrange things and tiring plus going out to bars is ok but oh my god its expensive and to be honest their is some stuck up ***** people out there but of course there is friendly people as well just depends where you go

I'm not looking for a new man ;-) But we are also new here and looking to make friends!

I believe we were going to arrange another expat forum night-out sometime soon...(wink wink, nudge nudge to the lovely Elphaba and co)
