I have always been a bit shy, but despite this I have usually always had a friend or two at every stage of my life so far. A lot of them have gone on to get married and gave children etc, so my circle has sort of dwindled, and in the last 6 months my last 2 single friends have found partners and seem to have disappeared off the face of the earth (both in the honeymoon period I think). However, despite my best efforts I am struggling to find any new friends to do things with. I have joined clubs in my area and have made several acquaintances, through it but it never goes further than that. Can anyone give me any other suggestions I can try to meet new people? I do have a boyfriend (who I sadly don't see much because of our working patterns) so it's purely platonic friends I am looking for. Thanks people!

By joining clubs I think you're doing exactly the right thing - you're getting yourself out there to meet people with similar interests on a casual, friendly basis. Just keep doing this and friendships will develop :)
