I am 30, married with no kids and really need to meet friends so I can get a life. Any suggestions?

I have posted several questions regarding this and I still haven't gotten any really good suggestions. Some people tell me to approach people while I am out. I have done that before, or more less tried to compliment another woman's outfit, hair or jewerly. I just tried to spark up a random conversation. Most women will look at you like you're crazy. Especially if they're with their clique of friends. People just aren't friendly no matter how you approach them.





People my age tend to have kids and/or busy lives, whereas it's just me and my husband and we have way too much time on our hands. We both work full-time Monday through Friday, but the evenings and weekends are usually spent sitting around the house or we'll go out to eat (which we do often). We do get out once a month or so to go see a movie, and once a year we'll take a weekend trip in town but that's it. My husband's friends are mostly single and there's been no connection with those that are married.





Help!

Lady I'm so with you on this one! Yes, I do have a few close friends, I also have children too. Yet, I know exactly what you mean being a woman and trying to meet new people. It seems impossible! I'm so friendly and outgoing and it never works for me. I'm 34! There has to be some social groups maybe? I'm not sure what you're into, I know churches have them. Or I'm sure there's something going on in your city. You'll have to find an interest that suits you and try to find some type of group to join. Better yet!!!! Why don't you start one? Maybe something your city doesn't have yet. And it would be a great way to meet new people. I know you're not alone in this. I've often asked people the same thing how to make friends at our age. Others seem to have no problem, but I think there are a lot of us out there! Maybe you could start something. That's my idea.
Reply:There are usually social clubs you can join if you live in a metropolitan area. Go to meetup.com. They have several different groups depending on your interests. We are also married without children. But we live in the SF bay area and find that many people are childfree here.
Reply:Join a club. Join some sort of service organization. Get involved in your community. You'd be surprised who you meet.
Reply:sounds like you are lonely and some what bored, have you and your husband considered starting a family, a precious baby is good alternative to friends.
Reply:What area are you in? West Coast, Mid West East Coast?
Reply:I'm in the same boat as you and I wish I knew of a way. When I was married before, I had a young stepson and met all my friends through him (mom's of his little school buddies) but I find being without children and in a new city it's really hard to find other women in their 30's who are looking for friendship that isn't child-based like a "mommy %26amp; me" playgroup.





There are some hiking groups in my area I've been wanting to go to, but they always hike at 9am and I'm not a morning person. Other than that the few people I know here are from church.

Google dating sites, most have spots for friends and not dating also.
Reply:What are your co workers doing? Have you asked any of them to go out with you and your husband? You can meet people. You can join a gym, volunteer, take a class, find a hobby that has a group that meets. There are book clubs and garden clubs that meet in some places. See what is available where you live. Anywhere there are people, go there and see what you find. Why are you not in contact with your husbands married friends? Maybe you should call them up and invite them to come over or to go out. Do the single guys have girlfriends? I am sure that they date. Go out with them also.
