Female friends wanted!!!

Post new topic

Valliaktar

Hello,

I've moved to Riyadh about a month ago and I'm finding it incredibly difficult to meet people. I live in a compound but even then it's hard! I know it can be a problem here but I need friends!

All I want to do is meet up with some friends, hang out, grab coffee and do a bit of shopping. The way I use to in London!!!

Please let me know if you don't mind chilling with me!!!

Only females please

Many thanks

Try places where you might meet places, such as a gym or a school.  Maybe you could sign up to study Arabic or another language.  I have taught English in quiet restaurants in malls, and met some wonderful ladies.  Too bad you and I live so far apart.

Oh!  The American Embassy sometimes has meetings for expats.  Call them and see what's going on.

Don't be afraid to try speaking in English.  Many Saudis and foreigners speak English,  You'd be surprised.

OTOH, don't be afraid to try Arabic, either.  You can study at a language school like Berlitz.  You'll make friends with other newcomers as well as learn the language.

Hope this helps.  It does get better, in my experience.

Hi Sharkie,

Yep, the first few months can be hard.  Don't worry though, you'll find plenty of people before you know it.  We've all been through that phase :)


I work at a university so I may be able to put you in touch with a few people?  What type of friends are you looking for?  (interests/age/religion/culture etc.)

Hi everyone,

Thanks to everyone that's posted,  I met up with one of the girls yesterday. I can't tell you how nice it is just to sit down for coffee and have a bit of a moan... Lol.

I know there's a few coffee mornings coming up in the compounds, ellesabella do you live on one?

If not I'll try get a bunch of us together soon.

The title of the topic thread is, "Female friends wanted!!!" and the OP stated clearly in the very first posting, "Only females please". And you didn't notice? Did you even read any of it at all before you posted? Really now!

Dear James,

As i said earlier that i couldn't notice for" Females only"  and admitted mistake so there shouldn't be any doubt. 2nd thing i just saw "female Friends wanted" which is not clear that female friends for female or males. I think everything will  be clear now.

I'm going for translation/language being the issue here.
Perhaps I'm just warm, fluffy and optimistic.

Anyway, it seems the point is taken, so I guess there is no further issue.

Mariem88

Anything happening on this front :(

zeina_aka

I'm waiting too ladies... maybe I will have to take the initiative and organize something myself.. anyone available to meet up... preferably in the evening since Ramadan is starting tomorrow. If anyone is interested, let me know and we can arrange a coffee and chat get together at Bateel on Tahliya St.

We try to keep sex pests and perverts away, banning most, but there's always one more.

SEX PESTS - Any posts on ladies only threads will earn you a ban, so don't bother on this forum.

The sad thing - These fools assume they have the right to use women as sex toys - NOT HERE.

Anybody goes to Dammam or Al Khobar?  I would love to meet up
