I love this blog! Is there any thought of a site where all of us with these issues can contact each other for friendship? Signed, Seeking New Friends. ANSWER. Dear Seeking New Friends, That’ question is one that is often asked by other readers. The Friendship Blog isn’t designed to facilitate friendships directly, but some readers have connected in two ways: The Friendship Blog E-Mail Exchange. Earlier this year, one poster on the The Friendship Forums (a tab on this blog), named Cookie, started a thread to encourage people to exchange email addresses. A number of people have posted their email addresses there. However, just as you would for other sites on the Internet, please exercise caution. Like heterosexual dating, you don’t know for sure with whom you are corresponding, you only know what the person is telling you. Also, remember that anything you post on the Internet, including an email address, remains there—so if you do pursue this avenue, the idea of using a disposable Internet address is prudent, as several posters have done. The Friendship Blog Connection on Facebook. When this question was raised before, I set up a Facebook group, called The Friendship Blog Connection. This is a page where you can interact with a new person, begin a friendship, and then take your conversation to the next level off the page. It offers the advantage of being able to do a little bit of vetting your prospective friend on Facebook. Directions for signing onto the Facebook page are here. Recently, most of the posts seem to be feeds from my blog. Perhaps, making friendships has been put on a back burner for the summer. In addition, there are a number of commercial websites that focus on helping women develop platonic friendships online and off. I’ve written about many of them previously, including these seven: Helps people who are looking for companionship to either start groups or join existing ones in their local communities. The groups are organized by interest and by zip code, and cover almost every topic imaginable. The idea is to help people meet others with shared interests. Allows women ages 18 and over to seek out and connect with like-mined women in cities and communities across the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Australia. With a few clicks, women can find someone with kids the same age or someone who shares the same reading interests, message them, and start connecting. The site also sponsors local events. Connects women, ages 21-65, with other women online and sets up local “connecting circles” for 3-6 women to meet in a neighborhood café or such, in 35 cities. It is based on the premise that women feel more comfortable in a small group where they can engage in meaningful conversation as opposed to a large social event. It’s also less threatening than meeting one-on-one and offers more choices. A social networking site that allows women to connects, and then exchange emails to set up appointments to meet (e.g. for taking a vacation, becoming walking partners, etc.). It is currently available in the U.S. only for women of all ages. Allows female members to find others in the same city, who share common interests (such as. yoga, traveling, sports, shopping, night life, etc.), and meet them locally. Active members live in Montreal and Toronto and the organization is expanding into Western Canada. Designed to help people who live in a particular neighborhood to connect with each other through the creation of a private website where they can communicate, and build stronger and safer neighborhoods. This may help you find friends who live in your own community. Companion Tree. 2016 Update [Companion Tree seems not to be operative anymore.> Open to both men and women from 10-80 but unlike dating sites, this environment is free of romantic expectations. The average age of members is 50 years old and while most members are from the U.S. and Canada, there are members from 25 countries. Hope this is helpful and gives you some new ideas and inspiration for connecting! Related. Comments (27) Sites That Link to this Post. | July 4, 2015 | July 6, 2014 | October 22, 2013. One of the best post here, and great advice! making new friends, is about some level of trust.there is give and take involved,this is like building a bridge.we need social contacts,or you will just be lonely.we want to extend ourselves, but some people are unable to.a lot of my old friends i went to school with, have moved away or are gone now.wehave to be sure they are safe,do we have similar interests,is there compatibility,.some type of rapport we can share.a lot of people now, are very untrusting.our country has become very ethnocentric.if your not rich orgay,or are not of a certain ethnicity they wont be accepting of you. For those in the UK try http://www.togetherfriends.com aimed at women only friendships. Worked for me! To the second Seattle person (Seattle-ite? Seattle-er?) who has written to give her two cents about Girlfriend Circles: What did you mean by “if you have a bad attitude …” Were you referring to people who expect a wee more than what the first Seattle person wrote about? If so (and please tell me if I’m wrong), I think that’s not really fair. Some people are shy, not good at organizing, tired (after a long day of work or at home with kids) and might not be up to going all over the place, putting signs up at closed restaurants, making do with one other person who shows up. I think it’s also really tart to say “it’s no wonder you are failing to find friends” on a blog that is all about women who admit they have issues with finding or keeping friends. That’s a really insensitive thing to say. Also, what you said about women who lacked social skills showing up…. Well, all I can so to that is, there but for the grace of God go I. Or maybe that is me, too, someone who doesn’t have great social skills … and maybe I don’t know it. If so, does that mean I shouldn’t sign up for Friendship Circles? That makes it sound a little like it’s a sorority, where only the strong (strong, in this case, meaning, socially adept) survive. If I’m reading into what you wrote, I’m sorry. But if that’s so, correct me. Because I’m kind of turned off by some of the comments. I don’t get where anyone here said they assumed friends would fall in their laps. But assuming there would be more than one person show up, yes, and I don’t blame them for assuming or expecting that. Can we have really objective reviews, even if they are not glowing? It’s worrisome that the damage control glowing reviews are popping up and nothing else. Thanks. I found this thread while searching for another article and I was interested because it mentioned the GirlfriendCircles. I am 38 years old and live in Madrona and I have been a member of Girlfriendcircles for almost a year.
