Thread: making friends?

hey everyone, people on here always seem to give out good advice so thought I'd ask if anyone has any!

I finished university last year and since then pretty much all of the friends i made have moved back home/down to london, I still stay in touch with them but I'm struggling to make new friends locally..I freelance so dont tend to work with the same people for very long and have tried going to events and stuff by myself but I'm quite shy and find it hard to get talking to people who are already in groups of friends. I have a lovely boyfriend so I'm not lonely really, just miss girly time!

Just wondered if anyone could identify or had any advice?

I get what you mean, i find it difficult to really push myself into new environments.
Which university did you graduate from??

nottingham trent, I like it here and have contacts for work so thats good, my closest friend is still here but she's just started going out with someone new and spends a lot of time with him, which i'm happy for her about but has made me suddenly realise that I had ended up relying on her too much for going out and girly chats..

You know you can get a association card from the union for a mere ten pounds! Join one of the societies! Im in the pole dancing club.. fantastic way to keep fit and we get the girls out every week.

Hi honey. I had the same thing when I moved after Uni. Best advice I can give is get out there and try stuff. Go to anything that interests you and talk to people. Keep an eye out for anything and everything.

^^^That, really.

Now is a fantastic opportunity to do all those things and courses you have always wanted to do. Get it in while you can, the 'spare time' concept all goes downhill from here...

ooh, I'm starting nottingham trent in october
