[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just moved to the area, and I have had a hard time making friends. I have lots of acquaintances, but most of the women my age are settled into their own friendships, and don't seem to have room for a new one with me. I feel sad about it, but there's not much I can do about it. Old friends are nice because there's no getting to know you stuff. You just jump right in where you left off, even if it was 20 years ago. Unfortunately all of my friends live in other cities, too far away to get together for coffee or lunch. I think this will change in time, as I get to know people better, but I'll have to endure it for the moment, alas. [/quote]

Do stay in touch with the old friends by e mail & other media. Easier now than it used to be. That will sustain you somewhat as you seek new friends where you are.

A couple of towns near where I grew up were hard places to make friends & one was a college town. You would think the opposite there. I went there to drink a few times & no one was rude but they just didn't need any new friends or even drinking buddies. The other was a small city where most people knew each other & there were 3-4 social classes. Friendships could happen there but it took awhile. That's been a few decades, may be different now.
