Hey Moxie, while I don't have your problem (I am pretty much grounded in my family- friends come and go but my cousins are always there living close by and a total anchor for me) I am sitting here trying to think of ways for you to meet people.

I'm a bit of a loner myself at this point, so I like going out solo and doing my thing, so this is hard but here goes: If you want to meet people why don't you take a class in something you like? I met a ton of people in my bellydancing class who were nice and shared some of my interests. Ditto for my classes at the gym- if there is anyplace you go often and find yourself interacting with the same people, reach out and get to know them! Or at your job maybe? I have made good friends with past co-workers.

That is all I can think of for now. Will post more ideas later if I come up with anything good.

Good luck!

Ok everyone....how about a flipside problem? I'm 24, madly in love, and getting married soon. My friends are not. Most do not have significant others & don't really want to have one. Also, my friends are spread out all over the country. The ones that are in Pittsburgh are all about going to clubs & stuff and that isn't my scene anymore (don't let my post in the Random thread fool you).

So, I'm pretty much alone in a city where I don't know anyone and am far away from family & friends. Sometimes I want to put an ad in the paper that says, "Won't someone be my friend. Pretty please?"

Maybe it's the whole graduating from college and being really on my own angst that is getting to me. It just sucks though. I cry all the time because I haven't been in this situation before and don't know how to handle it.

Anyone have a similar problem and could give me advice?
