Some distance developing between high school friends is expected when you graduate, even though it really does suck.

You can join in on some female-only classes on sports or other activities perhaps at your local community center or club. Be sure to pick classes that you like, so you actually have something in common with those girls you meet.

Also, there are lots of support groups for women, google for one near you. You can meet up and help others through their hard times, and maybe make a few friends.

i'm sorta in a similar position... male dominated workplace... and the few women aren't very friendly. best of luck making new girlfriends. think you should try annbaby's suggestions, they sound like a good idea.

I have an idea...be my friend! I have like the same problem, except I have a boyfriend. But he loves his friends and hangs out with them a lot...so I'm not with him much anymore.

You're not alone! I think a a lot of us end up in that situation as we move through the 20s and onwards, and if you have a career that isn't very girly that will essentially knock your non-internet friendships on the backside. I know you are trying to save money, but joining a dance class, karate class, yoga, or other inexpensive activity can really do wonders for you in more ways than just helping you meet friends! If this just doesn't fit your schedule, starting out online as annbaby suggested or even getting on MySpace and checking out your demographic is a fun and casual way to meet people with similar interests. Good Luck!

I'm in the same situation. I went to school in another country and moved back to the US 9 years ago. In short, I have no friends from high school, and wasn't too close to people in college. Both of the previous suggestions are great.

I have the same problem too! I went to school in a different place than all my friends (most of them stayed near home), so that started the distance. Then I moved even further away to look for work and I don't have a home phone or the money to pay for a long distance plan right now so my friends and I are even more far apart. Besides that, I don't have a job until September, so I don't have the money to drive to see my friends or go out all the time.

I'm making an attempt with Facebook groups in my area, and looking for some sort of sport or class to take around here!

I have the same problem. I'm 25 and most of my close girlfriends are either married or in serious relationships now. I feel very alone most of the time. So when you find out how and were to make new girlfriends, let me know!

I sorta have the same issue here, all my friends are mostly guys and thought is great hanging out with them and everything (they all treat me like a princess thank you very much), I do sometimes miss my girlfriends but at the moment the majority of them is either married, engaged, expecting or in a serious relationship.

So right now i´m in the process of finding new girl friends to hang out with so far not so good. But whenever i want to be among girls i come here and start chatting with the girls or whatever, is really great and i found some really sweet people here so is all good, oh and one other thing fell free to add me to your friends if you want to, maybe someday we could chat, alright take care!

Check out your local community center/parks and recreation- they usually have classes you can join for $20 or so where you can meet local people. It's a great way to get to know people and network. I've met some really nice people that way.
