sexiiladii68 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I have lived in Massachusetts for 3 years in October. I still haven't met anyone really. I am very outgoing and bubbly but only once I get to know people, thus making it hard to get to know people lol. Anyone have any tips on making friends in a new city? I grew up in North Carolina so this is a whole new place for me! Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyBlaze Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Are you having trouble finding people, or making friends among the people you find? If you can't find people, look online for groups that are involved in activities that interest you (not just things you do already, but things you'd like to try as well). If you're having trouble making friends after finding people, just try being yourself. Act like you would if you had known them for years (I'm trying to do the same right now, so I know how hard it can be). You'll come across as more natural - somehow, people can pick up on that kind of thing, even if they never met you before. Link to post Share on other sites

KLM_08 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I also live in MA, and I have lived in MD and GA. I have found that the people in this state are much more closed off and less friendly than down south. And a lot of transplants to MA that I have talked with have felt that many people around here seem to already have enough friends and don't want or need more. I would suggest trying meetup dot com or meetin dot org - there are a ton of different activities in eastern MA. Link to post Share on other sites
bluestraps Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Yea, I thought the same thing, people from small towns and southern states are more frendily. If that's your picture you look like a nice girl. just keep smili'n I've always thought how come I have to be the one to make friends with someone. But geting involved in a activity you enjoy would be a good way to meet people. Im having the opposite problem from you. I have been finding myself losing friends, either by them moving away or by circumstances beyond my controll. I have recently lost my girlfriend and also a good friend because of a deception. So remember you're not alone Link to post Share on other sites
