will_woman Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 Hi........ I am in midst of divorce and the papers are not finalized yet. In fact, we are still in the negiotiation stage with both side's lawyers. But I know that our relationship is over. I am feeling bored and still trying to cope with new lifestyle (without my husband). People are telling me to go out and meet new friends. But I am kind of struggling inside me. On one hand, I want to know new people but on the other hand, I have fear. And also, I do not know where to get to know new friends. I see that present work place and circle of friends are not possible. I am trying hard to lead a happier single life. Anyone can advise......
lydiamarie Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 get a new hobby! join a book club, or a gardening club (they even have them for water gardens), a community soccer team, a softball team (beer leagues!), join a church or another church group, volunteer at the union gospel mission or your local women's shelter, take swimming lessons, join a quilting club, teach a class for community ed, take a class (you could even audit) at your local university, get another degree or just take interesting night classes, start saving money to go on an archaeology dig or a guided tour through smithsonian, learn to fly, start a band, sing at your local coffee shops, go to the park, buy a dog (do your research first to find a breed you like, then adopt one from your local shelter or from a breed rescue. you can find mongrels and purebreds alike this way), learn to camp and then go on an adventure trip, learn a new language, join a support group, join a running or skiing club, train for a marathon... the possibilities are endless! just learn to do something new or join a club for something you already (or used to) love. you're sure to make a friend or two along the way! good luck
