I'll be yer friend Being from the country and moving to the big smoke it is difficult to make new friends. There are loads of online places that have regular social nights and not neccesserly dating sites either.

Hi Mia Mia
I'm in the same boat (feeling lonely). Just moved here four months ago and am not meeting people. Not allowed to work yet, which doesn't help. Have joined a couple of classes but no buddies there....
Anyway, want to be friends?

May I ask why you have 'grown apart' from your old friends? Why not try to get them back?

I know exactly how you feel. I'm in the same boat. A night out should be organised with a few of us!

Fair enough. Your old friends are at that busy stage with mortgages, car loans, sprogs, school runs and snotty noses.
You know what, I dont have any easy answers for you. Some old agony aunt would advise you to join a club or take up amateur dramatics as a way of finding company. Maybe it does work.
If I had the answer, I would have more friends myself.
Your old pals may have more time for you in a few years when they are finished changing nappies.
