The two friends I used to socialise with most have moved away. Where can I go to find and make new friends?

All my other friends live out of town as well, and people at work are all middle-aged with families. I have nothing to look forward to at weekends anymore, most of which are now spent in front of the telly. I’m so bored and fed up – I want to enjoy nights out and have fun again! How can I go about making new friends? I’m 29 years-old and live in Bristol, UK.

Start going out by yourself and making new friends...be more outgoing. Step outside your comfort zone. A lot of my friends I have made through taking college courses and at various places I have worked over the years.
Reply:best thing to do is go down the pub on your own during the week nights (it's usually quieter then) the others in the pub will probably speak to you then. Then when you go out on weekends they will most probably be there again. At least its better than staying at home.
Reply:u know its real easy when someone comes up to u and is like 'hey wats up?'and u become friends.but the real problem is when u gotta do the first approach and thats where u stand today.if u really want friends to hang out with u've got to make the first move.there are a lot of nice ppl around that u might consider.try coming up wif something and gather up courage u'll see how easy it becomes after sometime.i ddnt know how to make friends at first.now call me a pro.good luck!!!!!
Reply:Phone up "dial a friend", just joking! You should try joining some sports clubs or a gym and meet new people there, stike a conversation and who knows you might gain a new friend or two or three or four or five or six or seven etc
Reply:do they have night clubs in da UK
Reply:OK well I'm a military child so I've had lots of friends move away from me and i know exactly how you feel. its really important that you keep in touch with your friends who have moved. you can make friends by just being yourself and eventually you will find some one at work. maby going to clubs will also help. Don't worry just act normal and try to be extroverted and outgoing. if some one tries to talk to you don't be shy talk to them. i hope that everything goes good and you make new friends fast.
