Making Friends in a New Location
If you have moved to a new area you probably know that making new friends isn’t as easy as you think. Of course you’ll still have your old friends from back home, but making new friends in your new location is a must if you want to have any kind of social life. Making new friends in a new environment won’t happen if you never get out of the house. Just like when you are dating, if you want to make connections you have to get out there. Here are some places where you can go to look for new friends:

Adjusting to Life After a Breakup
Most of us have been there at some stage of our lives. Hours on the phone to our friends, crying, hoarding the mint chocolate chip ice cream, wandering about in our pyjamas; it’s what is commonly known as the mourning phase of breaking up - when your life doesn’t feel the same and you finally feel the loss of the other person. Whether you initiate the break up or he does, there is a mourning process to go through. Once you go through mourning the loss of your relationship, you have to put your world back together. It’s not going to be easy but keep in mind this isn’t the first relationship to have ended and it likely won’t be the last. The fact is, life is going to go on with or without you participating in it. If you want to come back to the land of the living, you’ll have to do some adjusting and get over your break up.

How to Answer Nosey Questions About Your Love Life
No doubt by now you’ve been in at least a dozen different social settings where the question of your singleness has become the topic of conversation. For many single women, it’s enough to make them want to stay in and live up to the shrew reputation some family and coupled friends believe they already have. For others, it’s an annoyance that has gone on too long. Being single shouldn’t be looked down upon but surprisingly a woman that is still single into her thirties or older is looked at as not being able to ‘catch’ a man and settle down.

Living with Your Friends - the Pros and Cons
Television has made living with friends the ‘in’ thing to do. Each week we watch our favourite characters navigate living together and comical situations that they get themselves and each other into. Looks like a great idea on screen, but is living with your friend all it’s cracked up to be? Growing up, you and your best friend probably talked about going to the same university, getting married, having kids, and even living in the same neighbourhood. It was your fantasy and solidified your roles as best friends. Now that you’re all grown up, you can begin acting out your dreams for finding the perfect flat and moving into a place together. Don’t begin packing and moving just yet though; there are many ups and downs to living with a friend.

The Qualities of a Good Friend - How to Find One and How to Be One
When it comes to being a good friend, look at all the things you require from a good friend and ask yourself if you do the same for others. The qualities you want in a friend should be the same that you are offering to someone else. How else can you expect to have good friends if you aren’t one yourself? Having and being good friends is a two way street. If you require a friend to hold your secrets, then you shouldn’t gossip or tell information that isn’t yours to share. Be someone who is dependable and trustworthy. The kind of person you want to call on in times of trouble.

Long-distance relationship
And by long distance, I mean, he lives in Mumbai, India and I live in Illinois. We’re separated by, not just oceans, but a whole planet.
We’ve been together for 7 months now. And it’s not like a typical teenage online romance, or anything. Our relationship is just as normal as any other relationship, just that...we can’t touch each other.
Anyways, on to the point of this topic.
Even after only seven months, we both know we want to truly be together. Because of cultural things on his end, we all decided (we meaning,…

Help please?!
So my fiance’s ex-fiance has suddenly showed up in CA. She lives 3000 miles from here but all of the sudden shows up 20 minutes from us. She has been trying to get back with him for years and I don’t know quite how to feel.
