Lookin for new friends :)

Post new topic

Hey guys,

I have been in Dubai for about 2 years now. Yeah, long enough for me find friends but it's sad because with the recent market crunch, a lot of my friends went back home in the Philippines or moved some place else.

I decided to be brave and have been living alone in Dubai Marina since July. Living alone is kinda okay but things can get a lot boring. I work with only 5 people in the office and everyone seems to have a wife or a husband or a partner to do things with. I've only been out a couple of times since my friends left in July.

So there's my story. I'm not lookin for anyone special. I just wanna meet some new friends to drink coffee with or have dinner with. If there's anyone who's going thru the same situation, I'd be glad to hear it.

Thanks :)

Hi...

You are tue, people are like petals of a flower and they go faster than we expect...I am an indian guy working in dubai, living in karama...I live alone here in a single studi flat and the walls of my room smile at me asking me why are you alone....

I dont like to be alone and so we can be a perfect company....weenends are boring for me sitting back at room watching tv else going out alone, at times have my friends to accompany...but....gals and guys differ so thts also import.

let me know wht you think on this....you can send email to richardp.uae@gmail.com

cheers

Good luck and be careful!  I have been living in Jumierah beach area for last year.  Marina area is very nice, and will be amazing once construction is finished.  take care & good luck !

i've been here for 7 years... a lot of my friends left the country... and i lost my job last month! understand what you are going through.. the sad part is 7 years is long enough to call a place your home but it really isn't.. nor does it provide the stability or security (in terms of work) to say it is actually home.. which makes me wonder if it were good experience or a waste! I am still looking for a job so let's see what happens..

If I stay here I was thinking I should create a book club... that should be fun! so will keep you posted... do you read?

Good Luck!
