How and where can you make good friends?

I have few friends, many I drifted apart from or realised they were just aquaintances. The ones I have left I don't see, treat me like crap or hang out with people I don't like. I would like to make a good female friend but don't know how to go about it. I have chatted to people on myspace but all they want to do is go clubbing and not for a quiet drink or cinema etc. I find the net can be a bit dangerous/misleading from experience and my bf isn't keen on 'chatrooms'. I don't agree with socialising with workmates and have finished uni. So where can I meet nice people?

join a club or some sort of society? you have to expose yourself to people to meet people and get to know them.

The advice from above is good although they may still leave you with having more aquaintances.
If you want to find a good friend you need to relax although exposing yourself to more people will help you,but remember a true friendship requires time.

I suppose as already suggested, join clubs you are interested in :smile:

Maybe take up a sport, or something :smile:

Not only help you keep fit, you will meet similar minded people

Im in a very similar situation, I have a wonderful boyfriend, but hardy any friends. I used have loads but have slowly lost contact with them, as our lives have changed and moved on (i.e no longer know the same people/ live in the same towns). Ive tried websites but find it a bit artificial and weird meeting people that way.
