hy where are you from? well u can start from bars and clubs
1. fine someone alone a guy or a girl, go talk to them, offer them a drink its a good gesture. ( u can start by saying hi i see ur alone my maume is ___ may i join you,may i buy u a drink) or pay for a drink or two for a group of people they will call u in n make u friends..
2. get to know them and others through them, make friends from friends..
3. while going in clubs 'girls' to dance with u spend more time and a lil money, invite them for dinner.
4. if this all fails come to kenya ul make many good friends here, ul get lots of opportunities and new people to start a new life.
5. have fun go to places ul find and get to meet new people, start by helping.. u see anyone need of help help them, n ul make friends, be nyc..

But there are 1,000 other threads just like this one, Harmonie.  It all comes down to accepting your fate :lol:  j/k  Actually, you have to develop interests and  find  satisfaction in small things, like reading.  Possibly he can make a few friends through this forum, but not if his only participation is to announce that he's bored and lonely.  He needs to get involved and make people want to know him.  You'll never make friends if you appear to be depressed and needy, and this holds true in every country.

It has been cancelled:

3. It competes with the hash.

I knew it would be boring here but my hobbies are photography, bird watching and travel so I get to do a lot of them. During the cooler months I spend most weekends somewhere else in the KSA. I also run about 4 web sites which keep me occupied in the summer. Having said that i wouldn't recommend taking up something from scratch that you're not interested in but I would advise anyone coming here that you need to have interests before you come if you are to enjoy life here.

Translation:  "It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."  This is a quote by Mark Twain, Hitch, a famous American writer of the mid 19th Century.

I came here on May 1st. I knew only the employee who referred me and one friend I met through EB.

Today, I have lots of friends and I'm also regularly playing a sport on weekends. After office hours, I download movies / games and engage in social networking sites.

Will be joining a sports club for Gym, Table Tennis and Swimming. Looking to join Arabic / French classes if I have more time.
I'm neither bored nor lonely. Infact, I dont have enough time to do everything I want to.

Do you need more ideas ??
