Making friends?

I just got married five months ago and moved to Ventura County for a job in Malibu, CA. I don't know anyone out here and neither does my husband - we are originally from the Inland Empire. I love my co-workers but they are single girls who have pretty busy lives so we never hang out outside of work. Does anyone have any recommendations on how/where to make some friends???

Re: Making friends?

  • Sorry, I don't.  I live in the Sherman Oaks area, way east of you.  But I will say that I love the town of Ventura.  I think it's adorable and it seems like there are lots of fun restaurants and hang-out places there.  And our favorite antique store!
  • I moved here from Syracuse, NY after getting married in July 2008.  So far I've tried connecting w/ people from church & also am looking into possibly going to a monthly scrapbooking "play day"...so I'd try to tap into hobbies if you can - that way it's a win, win! GL!

  • To answer OP, it's definitely a matter of finding hobbies in common or going to wine tastings, lectures, and other things that interest you.

    I've made friends at my pilates classes and from joining a book club, but most of the people I've met are work related.

    Is there a networking night for your line of work?  Or alumni association?
