I was just wondering, how do you gals go about making new friends? I'm at a point in my life where a lot of my old friends either don't live nearby any more or have small children & so can't really hang out much - and I'm lonely!
I work from home, which doesn't help, and am a bit shy/socially awkward, which also makes it hard. I haven't really hit it off with the wives of any of my husband's friends (they're nice enough, we just don't seem to share common interests).
I've tried joining a gym, volunteering, etc., & have met people who I say hello to & chat with at those places, but somehow these connections never seem to progress beyond acquaintanceship - I get the feeling that these folks already have plenty of friends, & so don't feel compelled to really invest a lot of energy into getting to know someone new.
I wish there was something like an online dating site, but to just find friends!
