Moved to new area and I know nobody.

[Confuddledmum]

Hi ive recently moved to Grays Essex to be with my boyfriend I've bought my 2 children who are at secondary school and made new friends. I have a job but the girls don't really socialise. My boyfriend says I don't need to go out but he does and so does his family and I want to go out and meet new people of my own. Please can somebody help me as it's getting me down not having any of my own friends.

My boyfriend says I don't need to go out but he does

...hmmmm.... why?

Not a lot to go on from your post, OP, but why does your boyfriend not think you need to go out?

What do you enjoy doing? Can you sign up for a class or a course, join a gym, take part in an activity? Have you looked on Meetup.com in your area?

Look on meet up groups locally

Do some voluntary work or join an evening class.

Does your Secondary School have a PTA equivalent?

Ours has an active fundraising society. It took me a long while to pluck up the courage to go along but I found some very welcoming, like-minded people there who mostly wanted to chat and have a laugh along the way.

We moved to a new area in May and I now have more friends here than where I previously lived for over a decade!
I suppose it depends on the area, do you have community events that you can attend, as Trampire said any PTA groups?
When I my eldest started school I set up a Facebook group for all the parents in the class for things like birthday parties, school stuff etc and I have a few friends as a result.
It is more difficult in the winter, summer is much easier as everyone is out and about

What are your interests?

We’ve moved around a lot and I always join things like the PTA, do volunteering, go to a gym/exercise class, WI, you can soon make friends so long as you get out and about.

How far dud you move? Could you look for work , volunteering, exercise classes, courses? What prompted you to uproot, is bf living up to promises?
