People down south are very friendly, and we love people like they're family. The way to meet people is to get out and get involved in various activities.  Join a club that interests you. If you meet a guy there, he's interested in the same thing. Take a class, for fun, at the community college, like knitting, painting, computer, etc. Go to ball games, outdoor concerts, street dances, etc. The main thing is...get out of the house. Good Luck! Welcome to the south.

First, I guess, is to start looking.  Maybe even outside of your own circle of friends.  Depends on what you want.  Try changing churches (or start going to church).  Taking dancing lessons and going to dances.  Try new hobbies and getting involved in those hobbies.  Try taking some college classes or some classes to learn---anything.  (cooking classes).  Walking in the park and sitting on benches,  people watching.  Be friendly, smile lots and good luck.

I can relate to that. I've moved a lot in my life. Be yourself! Once they see that you're really nice, they'll make friends with you. :)

Keep your chin up, believe in yourself, and make new friends. Think outside of the box and go to new places where you can meet new people. I moved to a new town and knew no one... I found a couple of charities in the phone book and volunteered... I met lots of great and caring people that have become friends. You could also look into attending a church in your area. They usually welcome you in and have lots of activities regardless of your age. Remember that people who claim to be your friends and then ditch you were never really your friends at all... look for a better group of peers.  Good Luck!

relax .... it will happen.\ntry things like PTA if you have kids, get involed with co-workers for activaties. if you like clubs just take time to go, even if you just sit alone the first couple times and drink water, you will get noticed.\nhummmmmmm, whats the chance your near reno? i could always use a new friend myself.

You are doing it all correctly.  It takes time as small towns are quiet, people are content with less, and to my knowledge small towns are not sizzling society parties.  I moved to just such a small town from a large city.  Lower your expectations.  Continue what you ar doing, keep a nice garden others will enjoy and complement upon.  Take a plate full of cookies or some fresh fruit to a neighbor( do not expect much other than thank you).  Smile at everyone, Join a local church. You must be patient as newbies in small towns are suspect(they think why did this person move to this small town?).  You are doing just fine.........

Start with a general connection ie. music,sports, movies. most people stick with people they can trust and rely on.I have only 5 friends but a million acquaitances some border as friends . So just try to mingle be open to suggestions and events.but above all be yourself . people usually smeell a fake.

There is not a certain place to meet new people now that you are single. You have to go outside of you comfort level. Just try going to places that you normally wouldn't go..for example museums, festivals, health clubs, networking things like that....

Quick Question... How old are you?  \nI don't think it is good idea to go and meet ANYONE that you have met online (if you are young) but, if you HAVE to go... meet in a very public place, bring friends with you and let people know where you are going, and what time you are planning to come home. Bring you cell phone along, and make sure it is charged and on

I did that a few years back and it was tough. I found that the easiest way for me to make friends was by joining sports teams and clubs. That way you find people with interests similar to yours. \nGood Luck!

You can find online friends and even make real friends from that if they live close enough. Not knowing your age, and well heck I even know women of years that should never even be need to be told. Just be careful... This is all very anonymous, so in reality you really don't have a clue who you are speaking with. \n Again not knowing your age I don't know where to direct you. \n For myself I made some good online friends in game rooms, like poker or something, where you can actually play and chat at same time.\n I also have made friends in forums where I hold personal interests. Like my health...\n  It really depends this is a very open question.\n I can offer my hand in friendship but I am uncertain about listing my email address on this site. Because you would not be the only one to see it. \n  So be aware there are people who would love to be your friend and there are also some you need to be careful of. I hate to sound negative, but its a fact .   Take care and stay here and maybe somehow we can get together again.   I am a female, married and 48 just to let you know.. take care

Sorry I read some of the stupid replies you received first. Its not easy finding new friends trut me. I am in my 40's and single and its not easy for me either. But I do have hopes that will change someday for me too. But I may not live close to you but IM me and we can talk. I am online most evenings and always free to chat with friends.
