Oh, sad chica! Are there activities you can join? That’s always how I made new friends when I was super single and lonely – I joined sports teams, books clubs, etc. There’s also a cool site – ExerciseFriends.com. Maybe you can find someone to bike ride with you who’s in your area?

Or, you can always move to a BIG city!

I know how you feel. I moved to a brand new city last September and haven’t made any real close friends since moving. I feel like I’ve become more and more dependant on my “blog friends” and on staying friends with my old friends through superficial ways like Facebook.

I’m a pretty independent person so I don’t NEED to have people around all the time, but I’ve definitely been feeling lately like I don’t have any close friends here. Now that school is over and all my school friends are moving home for the summer I’m feeling really lost…

I know what you mean… it was so hard for me when I first moved to DC, and honestly, I’ve met a lot of my friends through the amazing blogging network here. I don’t know what I would have done without it… other than that, I don’t think it’s so weird to go on CL and look for a platonic exercise buddy or something. I think that stigma’s kind of been reduced now… 2009 and all. Maybe that’s an idea?

I know how you feel. I just really have a hard time with females as friends… just from stuff that happened in the past. & we stay soooo freaking busy during the weekends that we don’t really have time to make plans with people… and when we do have time to do nothing we want to spend it alone. It’s kind of annoying lol.

Awwww, you adore me! I adore you too! Really!

Don’t worry. I feel alone too. I live in Chicago. This past year I have felt more isolated than ever. I have spent so much time online that I feel like I have reach the end of the Internet.

When I was still dating my ex, it was nice to have someone to be with. But now I’m alone in the big city. I’ve been told that I’ve very sociable and likable. However, my issue is meeting people for the first time. The awkward first impressions scares me.

Don’t worry. I want a friend badly. A best friend who I could hang out if s/he calls at any moment & vice versa. A friend to talk to online at night. A friend who will tell me that everything will be ok.
