Meeting up/socialising/making friends

[Sido]

hello,

i?m new here in south-east-london and hardly know anyone in this area. i moved here to my partners place (he is british) and want to make some contacts for sports, having a coffee, shopping, getting to know this area better and so on...:)-D

i?m 29, german background, female...

i would like to get to know only female members as friends here (for meeting up);-)

thank you ever so much for reading my post and i?m very much looking forward for getting some replies

Although not a strictly female event, you could turn up at the EDF drinks...(you could just snub the men! hee hee)...the next one is on Friday 8th. Here are the details: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,381119,386697#msg-386697

hello ladymuck,

thank you very much for your reply:))

when meeting up in groups i absolutely don?t mind meeting men as well...i?m just worried to get requests for dates, that?s actually all about it:-$...i don?t know how it works here and maybe i sound a little bit clumsy:-$ (as english is not my first language)

so i?m not against men :))...i?m just searching for friends:)-D

your edf sounds very interesting! so i should pop over to see how it is...

...but i would still be interested in meeting people face to face, having conversations, having a coffee etc...

i?m not so much a "big group" person and find it more difficult in finding friends in big groups but i will try as well.

if there still is anyone who prefers to meet in little groups as well, who loves art, culture, conversations ect i would be very happy:))

thank your very much for reading!

Just to reassure you...I'm not interested in dating men either (very happily married!)...and no-one at the drinks has ever approached me in that way...in fact the men have been pretty gallant and a pleasure to meet. I have also made some fabulous friends as a result of attending the drinks (both male and female)...so there you go...I don't think you would have anything to lose by attending. Oh, and you don't sound clumsy at all. Willkomm und bis spater denn!

[Sido]

ohhh....thank you:))

this sounds very promising!!!

i should really come to this meeting then:)-D

Blimey!

"i?m just worried to get requests for dates"

When I was in my teens and 20s I would have LOVED to have got requests for dates.

Never had that confidence and never got them.

One can always turn them away/down if one gets such requests.

But to get them when they're really wanted, never happened!

MrPR came along just as I was heading for the atheist nunnery(!)

And the moral of this story is that it is never too late. Never!

[Sido]

this is true>:D i have a partner:)

as i have a partner for the last three years i don?t want to meet other men "just the two of us" as long as i don?t know them...that?s all...i think no partner in this universe would like this (well i wouldn?t like to see that my partner is meeting single girls and going out with them;-))...

if i would be a single it would be different of course:))

good that you didn?t become a nun...and found a partner>:D<

[Sue]

If you're into folk music, come along to one of our Goose events, ask for me (Sue) and I'll introduce you to some people xxx

See our website

www.thegooseisout.com

Next one is on Friday (8 January) , but if you prefer smaller gatherings, the Friday after (15 January).

PS Met my partner at a party in my late fifties :-$ Never too late :-$

Could the St. Bernard please explain why the thumbs down?

Could the St. Bernard please explain why the thumbs down? Is it because doggie wouldn't be allowed in? I know... tis not the same being tied up outside...poor doggie.

[Sido]

hi,

@ sue: oh, i can?t really say that i?m into folk musik...but this is just because i?m from germany and we never hear it there... so i just don?t know it very well.:-$ but it looks very entertaining>:D i didn?t mean it in a bad way but i don?t think it?s very nice towards my partner to go out with other men while he sits at home waiting for me...that?s all it is:)

Sido - do you think you may have a smiley addiction? :)

[woofmarkthedog]

(?)

[Sido]

hi,

oh...quite a lot is written here when i was away...

about my smileys: well, i like them as in a forum you can?t really express everything with words and the faces (smileys) can help a bit....make it more "alive".

about the badminton: :-$ you can be happy that you have never seen me playing! i?m so bad that it?s hard to believe that someone can actually have this little talent in playing it!...really! so maybe it?s not the right thing for me to do...

but thank you very much for your idea! every idea and every help is very much appreciated and i?m very happy for getting it!

[KalamityKel]

You could also try the monthly Backgammon group

A nice friendly bunch of all ages and abilities :)-D

[SteveT]

Mr Moos is fluent in German, perhaps it's because he is a German national;-)

Moos and Mr Moos often turn up for the EDF monthly drinks.

[Sido]

good to know:))

thank you!

Hi there everyone,

Just wondering about the average age of people at the EDF drinks?

Cheers,
