make real friends that share my interests

In my Hometown I had a few really good friends. One in particular was my best friend, Jake. But he hates me now and is dating my ex-girlfriend. Most of my old friends are different or they have changed. But now my mom has dragged me down to another location far away from my hometown. I cant say that im fond of it here either, but i do get the option of moving back to my original location to live with my dad. idk what im gonna do yet but im stuck and i have no friends that i can talk to or rely on. I just need to find people that are like me, which is proving quite hard to do.

I’m a happily married mother of two teenagers, looking for female friends to talk, gossip, discuss literature, art and poetry. I just don’t get to meet many people, as I have lung problems. So I was hoping to meet like-minded women, who want to add to their life by being understood as a person, as only girlfriends can. My husband supports me in this effort, as he is tired of finding the metaphors in the newest Emily Dickinson poem I’m in love with that week, LOL! I asked him who Michelangelo was, and he told me it was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle….sighs Anyway, write me if you are interested, and I hope you all have a lovely day.

I forgot about 43things for a while.
Anyway, I did something I never thought I’d do:
move across the country to live with a man I’d met on the internet.
Romantic? Insane? Stupid? Yeah. But it seems like we’re getting along pretty well. I’ve been here for 3 months now and we’re completely in love. It’s sickening, really.
I left all my friends back in Jersey (I’m in SoCal now, by the way). So that’s an issue. I’m feeling pretty lonely, and I haven’t found a job yet. I’m really hoping to make some friends soon, because the only people I know are Michio (my boyfriend) and our roommate Elliot.
My shyness is a factor, but I need to get over that too.

we go for a cup of tea after rehearsal.
yesterday i went to meditation group after a quite a while and already exhanged phone number with nice person :-)

i’m giving up on this interest because I already have a best friend, my best friend is God. God is always there for me no matter what. He listens to me, guides me and never turns His back.
So, what more do I need. I am now saying goodbue to this goal.

I consider myself outgoing, but it can be a challenge to meet new people when you move to a new city. So, I am happy to report that I’ve made some headway with this goal.

I met a really awesome, smart, and like-minded woman through one of my college friends. The few times we’ve hung out, I’ve had a really great time with her. We talk feminism, politics, religion; she’s a delight to talk to and bounce ideas off of. She’s also one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I feel lucky to have met her!

I need friends thats mostly what i am going to say.
over this summer of 08 my friends moved. one moved to the uk another moved 20 to 30 mins outside of my town not to mention goes to a different school. ive lost so many friends to floods. even people i hang around with now, dont really seem to care for me, dont really take initative to show how much they are my friends

we spend wonderfull evening! it was rehearsal, too, and before and after it we spent nice time and discovered lots of other shared interests. all 4 of us were rowers! and other things. they liked my collection of music instruments, they liked my two cheap and dusty guitars, grabbed them instantly and played. wee agreed to go hiking with guitars and sing and play up there.
i even had some nice homemade cakes (made by my mil’s neighbour) and my home was presentable.
:-)

So, how do people find new friends (at least people like myself)?
First, if you stay somewhere – school, course, job, town – long enough. And then one day you realise that you have actually known someone for such a long time that you can really call him or her a good friend. This really doesn’t apply to me because I have almost always been ‘on the road’ – different jobs, hobbies, cities, countries. And I have never made friends easily – I had two good friends when I was at the university for 4 years, and they are both still good friends, although one of them lives in a different country now (or, to be precise, I live in a different country now). And the other one is my girlfriend of almost 8 years – the best friend I have had since I was in primary school.
And second, you are a very social person and go out a lot and meet a lot of different people. Which I used to do when I was 20 but which I don’t do much any more now when I’m in late thirties. I live a quiet life (with a few rare exceptions) and am quite happy with the quietness. Except you don’t meet many new people this way.
4 years ago I moved to London to study something I couldn’t study in my country, and I thought that London will certainly be a great place to meet new people. And in a way it is but at the same time you can be very lonely in a place like London. Life’s fast and superficial here, and people don’t often have time or energy to be really interested in others outside their immediate social circle.
OK, so, I have to admit that I haven’t found many new good friends for the last 4-5 years or even longer, so … let’s make it a goal.

I agree with motivated that have to live my interest .That what i going do . i not good making new friends . little shy.

recently My Best friend of 13 year moved in with her bf not talk since .I sent email saying let hang out . she not answer .i heard that her boyfriend told her to hang me other friend not really talking to . guess no interest. I just never expect from her from other friend maybe but not from her I dont know what i say or do make act like this .Maybe down road we come friends again All well i am moving on and find true real friends
