I'm at that age where most of my friends are now settling down with babies, which is wonderful, but finding that my circle of friends is becoming smaller in regards to social activities. I still want to maintain the friendships with them but still want girlie nights out, shopping trips, girlie chats etc.

I’m finding it difficult to make new friends and, just don’t know where to look. I've tried the internet but find there more geared towards dating and not friendship. My job is quite isolated as I work from home and not to keen to join sport clubs. Can anyone offer any advice?

I would also suggest www.meetup.com. I joined a bunch of different groups on the site and made it a goal to attend as many activities a week that I could. Its a great way to meet people and the nice part about it is you never have to feel awkward or crazy for meeting up with random strangers - everyone is there for the same reason, to make new friends!

Maybe try www.meetup.com? I came across it a few months ago and joined a few groups, and I've made several friends and two really good friends since joining. I'd been struggling to make friends since I graduated from university, and then moved to a new city where I didn't know anyone. Just plug in any interest, and then +city (ex: nightlife+Dallas, art+Boston, etc) and see what's in your area.

You don't meet people when you go out? Try going somewhere social (like a pool hall?) where you know both men and women hang out. Maybe even bring a couple of your current friends (male and female) along, make it a weekly thing-- the more you make an appearance at one place, the more people will become familiar to you (Friends haha).
