Im starting to realize that I don't have any friends, and I would really like to change that. I started by at least trying to get out more.

It's embarrassing to say I don't even have single friend excluding my boyfriend..but it's an issue and I would really like some ideas from all of you:

What's the best way you've found to meet new people?

What places are best to hangout at and have a chance to talk to other people?

The hardest part for me is two things:

I have no idea where to find new friends. Before you say, "Your campus or work" I attend community college with very little students, with almost no campus activity. Work isn't an option either because I work with all men, I'm looking for a female friend, I seriously need some feminine influence in my life.

    I'd check Meetup.com for fun activities and look into local clubs for things you're interested in. Running clubs, yoga classes, etc. Lots of opportunities to meet people with common interests that way. Good luck!

    I was going to suggest meetup. I started going to a a meetup for divorce/separation. On Christmas I was at a potluck dinner (I didn't have my boys and I refused to stay home). A woman heard me say I was a teacher and she sat down and said she was a teacher, too. Within minutes we hit it off and have become good friends.

    We just met for coffee and shoe shopping...and I never do that!

    My friends are all married and I am newly single again.

    I have to force myself to go to events as I am shy. I am going bowling with a new meetup group tomorrow.

    Good Luck!

    Like the other ladies suggested...meetup.com. I have made some friends and now we're heading to Vegas around July

    I've met a lot of people via Facebook. Are you the friendly sort? Just chat up someone you think looks interesting...whether it be at a bookstore, clothing store etc. You'd be surprised the number of woman that would like to meet new friends.
