Love help: OK, so I moved away from the city to a quasi-suburbs area. - Help.com

Yeah, get out, approach people, and be yourself. :)

actually i was having the same problem. i have been here a year and it is finally starting to change a little.

all i know is its hard. i lost alot of friends and will be losing another one real soon ans I personally hate that!! i hate losing someone especially if ive known them for months or even years…..

Go for walks and a have a peek on who’s about. Say hi to people. Make it a routine, and people will start warming up. Stop and talk, say something nice about their house, yard, car, whatever.

Or… heck, just go straight to the coffee shop. Hang out there on a regular basis and see who else hangs out.

Get involved with things you love to do or want to try, and you’ll meet people who love to do those things, too.

Yeah, you’ll be fine.

Make cupcakes for your neighbors. Nobody can be mean when they’re getting cupcakes. ;-)

You’re head’s on straight, Elly.

Hey, Elly! I didn’t even think to ask if you had children. With a smashing 12 yo boy like yours, there’s even more opportunity to get involved. Does he play sports or anything group-oriented where you might meet people together?
