Cool The 'New to Dubai and & Looking for Friends" thread #2 - Introduce yourself here :)

Just thought I'd start a new one since the old thread was quite long, so here we go

This is a new thread for new expat introductions and making friends.

Post here if you are new to Dubai and tell us a little bit about yourself! Where do you come from? How long you've been in Dubai for? Did you move here on your own or with your partner/family? How are you finding it?

Also keep an eye on the forum as expat get togethers are being organised very often, and that is a great way to meet new people and make friends.

Just a couple of things:

1. As a friendly reminder, please keep in mind that the main purpose of this forum is to exchange information about moving to Dubai. Making new friends is a recurrent topic, hence this thread. However this is not a dating forum and posts of such nature, or that look like 'dating profiles' are often reported by forum users and deleted immediately (this applies to all the forum sections and countries).

2. Also please note that the purpose of this thread is INTRODUCTIONS and NOT chit chat. Off topic chit chat should go on The Lounge.

Welcome, enjoy Dubai, and enjoy the forum!!

I arrived in Dubai last week and so far I love it! I work over here as a vocational trainer and H&S consultant. I'm on my own here, would be good to meet people. So what groups or events are organised?

Hi Hamoody and welcome to the forum.

I removed your email address as is not allowed per the forum rules. Posters may contact you by private message (active after 5 posts). Good on you for being upfront but as a suggestion is a good idea to be careful when revealing your sexual orientation here, wouldn't be nice getting yourself into trouble over that

Good luck

Hey Dizzyizzy,

Thank you for your reply. I realize the sexual orientation issue here and i thank you for your advice. It just have been very hard on me specially recently of being lonely and depressed without having any good people around me to hang out with. It seems alot of people here are just looking out for themsleves and they kick you after you've been kind to them, which sucks. And me being who i'm from the rainbow people (better way to put it together, lol) its very very difficult. I really by joining this forum help me find what i'm looking for. On a note though, i don't think its fair that private messaging only going to be activated after 5 posts. So i guess i just have to keep posting on other threats!!..Cheers!
