New Town, No Friends

[we all eat food]

Im really frustrated my family moved to a new area late august so ive been going to this local community college, and i havent met anyone yet, everyone just goes to class and then goes home, im having a hard time making friends, i havent gone out at all except with my family and i dont have a car and im 18. I dont know what to do its extremely frustrating

I was in the EXACT same situation as you. I moved to a different country all by myself and didn't know anybody. I have lots of friends now. Here is what you have to do...

1. join clubs

2. make friends in class

You need to realize nobody is going to go out of their way to befriend you and that if you want to turn your situation around 180 and eliminate the frustration, you need to take action and grab hold of your life.

So my suggestion is talk to people then either invite someone to go do something or maybe they'll invite you, get on track to get your license and save up for a decent car, approach some girls, get involved in school activities and by then you'll have a budding social life. Good luck.

You guys aren't even trying to think of a way to use your situation to your advantage...

Walk up to a girl and say "Hi, you look like you'd know the answer to this; I'm new in town and I'm trying to find a really good, out of the way coffee shop, where do you normally go?"

C'mon guys, make an effort here!

I just enrolled in grad school (part-time night classes), and everyone is surprisingly friendly. I have a good group of friends and a MORE than busy schedule now with full-time work and part-time school and a job search and football season and a Cubs playoff race, but I've met some very cool people and a hot new lady friend who seems pretty interested. (Serves me right that the first time in a year I find a prospect, I have no time for women, but I digress)

I just run to the bus stop after class, but everyone in class is really personable and I am already involved in at least one study group in each class (we're encouraged to "cheat" off each other on the homework assignments, too). Just this evening, a girl in my class was at the bus stop at the same time as me, ends up she lives like 3 blocks from me; we were BS'ing the entire ride home, it was cool. {Got her number, too}

I also attended one event (it was a bar night, so I obliged) and again everyone was awesome there. Everyone was very eager to go introduce themselves, talk BS, and just network.

There have to be some events or clubs or whatever, there have to be some out there.
