Making friends
I've been noticing recently that I'm a bit lonely... I am super busy I study wth the OU, and have lots of jobs. I have a boyfriend but he's quite a bit older than me (in his 30's).
I tend to get on better with people who are older than me- I'm more a coffee and cake rather than a clubbing girl! I had hoped that I'd make friends with people I work with- but they are just that little bit too old for us to really make a connection beyond work.
My boyfriend is involved in an amateur dramatic society; I can't and wouldn't want to act- but I do enjoy going to see productions. They have non-acting members, which sort of caught my eye. Only prob being that I don't want to end up stepping on his toes, his ex-girlf is a member of the society (acting) and it is fairly large. The few times I have met them (after shows) everyone has been lovely and it does seem like a nice way to socialise...I just don't know if its 'right' to do thigns that way.
I didn't really have many friends at school/6th form, and those I knew I tended not to socialise with outside of school. I do seem to get on with those older than me- but my area is not a university one.
How does everyone else make friends?

Join a club- running, kayaking and go alone where you're situation forces you into to making friends.

Never mind this other girl, if you want to join this society go for it. Life's too short. Is there a particular reason you'd be stepping on this girl's toes other than the fact that she's an ex? Obviously if they broke up fairly recently, or he left her for you then that sheds a whole new light on things and the best thing to do would be to find another Drama society. It may be better to take up a separate hobby from your boyfriend anyway and make it your own so that you have a life outside of your relationship.

Read the original post.
Yeah find a hobby or sport that your interested in, or you could even take a night class in something you'd like to learn, this way you can make friends and it has educational benefits maybe?

Why is his girlfriend being fairly large relevant? Are you scared she'll physically harm you or is it that you have a big lady fetish and think you might not be able to constrain yourself were you to be having close contact with her?

Lol classic. She said the society was fairly large not the ex-girlfriend.

Oh, now I see. The point still stands, though. Do you have a big lady fetish?
