My husband and I moved to Florida 1 year ago from NY as did my entire family. It has been so busy that a year just zipped past us. I really would like to get out and make friends with other couples and also get out with girlfriends from time to time, but i am having trouble figuring out how. We both commute 1 hour to and from work and are home only on weekends, live in St. Cloud. Any one have suggestions or looking to make friends? I am friendly with my neighbors, but most have children and are much older, we are in our mid 20's and some just speak broken english, which is fine but makes it hard to carry on long conversations. Any suggestions or friends are welcome!!!

Welcome to the area. It does seem to take some time to meet people here. Seems everyone is just so busy.
There are many things to do around. Leu Gardens has classes that you can meet people at, there are theater groups, including one on 192 near you. Of course there are the parks and city walk and Downtown Disney, I think those are mostly for the locals There is a museum which could stand all the help it can get. There are dog parks if you have one. I haven't found them yet but I bet there are wine or dinner clubs too. It seems there are many things here. St. Cloud is a little off the beaten path and quiet but you arent far from anything really. Have a Merry Christmas. and I'm Ken btw. |

Being in a smaller town can be more difficult to make friends. You need to get out more try some of the local night spots or the area parks.
I`m kind of a hermit when it comes to hanging out with friends. But there is plenty to do and people around just waiting to make freinds just like you. |

Thanks or all of your great suggestions. I will definitely try most if not all of them. I know that people are busy, as I have been, but I think it is so important to become friendly with others in your area and to be able to go out with people who share your same interests. Sometimes you need to get away from your family to vent!! Thanks Ken for the suggestions and pleasure to speak with you.
