Someone please tell me how to make friends!

Forever Alone
From Anonymous
Hi. I've recently moved from the UK to Canada for a job. I'm 30 and single. The reason I moved is because I wasn't really doing fuckall in England apart from working and eating takeout food or buying meals for one. I have a few friends from work but we don't socialise outside of work, even though they go out for drinks and stuff after work...

I did go out once with them but I wasn't really that comfortable and left pretty early. As a joke some people used to call me a geek because I love computers.

Can someone just give me some advice on making friends and 'fitting in'. Everyone else can do it so easily but I can't. I really don't want to mess this up in my new place, I just want to be one of 'the man dem'. This shit is depressing it's like my life is just ticking away with no real purpose.

Please, please, please give me some tips on how to make friends.

Okaaaaay, sounds like you need to just get out more. Join some out of work thing, martial arts, whatever. You're going to have to get out of your comfort zone and meet a bunch of new people. Regarding the work people you need to just grow some balls man, spark up conversations about stuff and I'm sure you'll find some common ground. Have you tried dating sites - there are lots to choose from.

Worst comes to worse use your geekiness to your advantage and offer to fix their computer problems or something. To the rest of the man dem out there... help him out and give your opinion in the comments!
