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)
