How can I meet some friends?

I am so lonely every day! I don't have any friends to call up and talk to. I used to call my Mom and chat with her but she passed away last year. I feel like I could cry! I only have my 16 month old daughter for company during the day until my husband gets home. When he does, he just wants to get on the computer and entertain himself and acts like I bother him when I try to talk.


Does anyone have any ideas of where I can go to meet some friends? I have to be able to take my toddler with me. Thanks.

Maybe you could take one of those Mommy and Me classes, the ones were you take your kids and hang out with other moms and their children. The have everything from Yoga to painting. My cousin kinda felt lonely too after her husband started to travel a lot and she now goes to yoga class everyday with her 11 month old son. Maybe start from there and branch outward. Also if you live in a neighborhood you could invite the neighbors over for a potluck dinner.


Hope it helps!
Reply:well maybe you should try to look for groups of mothers and try to meet friends threw that, or you could try to get out some, go to the park a book store and take your daughter and see what you find!
Reply:One of the best things I've found is church groups. Many churches sponsor activities for single parents to meet other people. Some larger city community centers do this also. You could also check your area for singles' groups.

- Join a non-profitable organization, volunteer there. (Church, YMCA etc)My friend's mom goes there weekly and meets many great women as companions. They share thoughts, opinions, work together.


- Go on the computer, and chat with people, they can be your cyberfriends, it's fun! :D


- Go to the library, it's a great place! You get to meet people that are hardworking, and knowledgable.


- Attend social events *concert, chats, etc*


- Try to talk your neighbors sometimes, jog around in the morning, also a great excercise, around your house, nearest blocks. You might get to meet great people


- Find a job, your colleagues will be great friends!





Good luck and have fun!
Reply:Try meetup.com and find groups in your area that interest you. You can search for stay home moms, or any of your hobbies/interests. You can also try to look at what's going on in your area based on dates.





Good luck!
