Default Re: Find a friend

Join as many local groups as you can on FB:

* Bush walking
* Car
* Men's Shed
* Community buy and sell
* Hobbies / interests
* Community volunteering
* Religious
* Anything else you are into

Many of the posts revolve around local connections and meeting up.

So go to a few and make yourself known.

Forget about what you are doing in 2-5 years. Sure it's fine to have goals and aspirations but if that means relying on others you assume will do something you may be setting yourself up for failure.

Life is short and things can change suddenly and often you have little to no control of the situation.

Yes - life is what you make it, but it's also what others make it for you.

Of course there is the plethora of dating sites you can get onto as well.

Especially now, most connections between people have some sort of online / social media intervention. I think the nostalgic days of going to the pub and buying a girl a drink are soon behind us sadly.
