Trying to get my life back on track.

Hi, relatively new to boards so looking for some help.

Recently separated and have been looking to try to make some new contacts/friends. Have seen suggestions to join groups but I don't know where to start.

Any suggestions from other ladies out there who have been in the same situation. Thanks

Well I'm not a lady,

But when I moved to a new town some years ago, I joined a sports club. This was a great way of making friends.

You don't have to be great at sports either, I joined a squash club and they have people of all ages and levels.

A female friend of mine recently joined a book club, she thinks it's great and they have a few glassess of wine and a get together every month to talk about the book they're reading.

Also, get on facebook, you may be able to reconnect with old pals there as well.

Hope this helps in some way.

I'm not separated but have moved towns on my own. Joining some sort of group is a great way to meet people. Something which involves interacting with the same people week after week. It all depends what you're into. I've not gone hill walking myself but know people who do and it sounds like a good way to meet people. After that it's up to yourself. Take a look on the internet, in local newspapers or the notice board in your local shops. There's always stuff going on.

Thanks for all the replies. I want to make a move but tbh am a little nervous. First of many first moves if you know what i mean. Thanks again.

Stupid question perhaps but have you any family members/friends living locally who would come along with you to something if you don't feel up to going on your own?

thanks firetrap, i've done things on my own in the past but somehow they didn't seem so daunting. i am very independent & once i decide on something i'll go all guns. it's just the first step, and unfortunately family have different likes to me.
