Friendship starters!

Question - (23 August 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 22 October 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, *izz.butterflies writes:

Hey everyone.

I am back in my country after a 2 years break. In that other country I was,I made tons of friends and had the time of my life. Now that I'm back,I am facing a lot of difficulties.One of those is New Friendships.

I'm a really energetic,spontaneous person.My friends always told me they have the best time with me. I can be a party animal,and at the same time I can give the best advice to people.However,I feel that since I'm so all over the place,I can't really click with anyone over here. In the country I was before,I didn't hang out with people of my nationality.Truth is I find them a tad boring. I had english,american,canadian and african friends.

It took me a lot of time to accept the new reality,and the new reality is I have to find friends of my nationality.I don't know how to go about this. I signed up at a gym near my apartment,it's a Ladies Only...I met a girl and spent some time with her but she lives with her boyfriend and has classes until 9 pm so it's very hard to hang out with her. I tried spotting some interesting girls at the gym....No results.

Some of you will say I can find friends at my college.Well...I am 2 years older than the girls in my classes.It's not about age though.It's about their behavior.Most of them are daddy's girls and have had no expierence in their life.(I lived in a lot of countries etc)

I'm just losing patience! It's been almost a year since I've moved back and havent found any girls to kick it with! I miss all my friends from the other country,i miss how my place was always full of people.

What can I do? How do I initiate a friendship? I know it sounds dumb,especially when I've had so many friends before but I'm fed up!

p.s i am in a european country

I really feel for you I have been in a simar situation. A great way to meet new people is through a part time job, or is their any sporting clubs. You will find that you gradually meet new people and make friends this way. If not you just have to keep trying to strike up conversations with people. I the girls don't have as many experiences as you they may want to hear them. I hope this helped good luck xx
