I'm the only child too, so I can totally relate, especially with being shy about making the first move and making friends in new places. I'm just over here patiently waiting to get out of the slump, similar to your first six months in Dallas, and meet some people! I have one best friend in Dallas, but I guess it's better than none! But seriously.. how are you supposed to meet people!? When you already have a boyfriend, coworkers are old, and everyone already has their "group", that leaves little to no room for the new people! You def got lucky!

It hit home for me having recently moved to Dallas myself and still trying to figure out exactly where I fit in to this city (and even at times questioning if this is where I am supposed to be).

Y...Thank you so much for sharing this story, Sarah. Your dad getting pool toys to help you make friends is the sweetest thing ever. I was a really shy kid too, and my mom would literally introduce me to other kids at places like the beach because I was so afraid to make the first move. When I moved to a new city where I had no friends in 2011, it was a HUGE lesson in learning to put myself out there, which doesn't come naturally to a homebody and introvert. I've become really good at learning to ask for someone's phone number when we meet and hit it off standing in line at a coffee shop or at a dog training class. It can be so hard, but it really is rewarding. Making friends as an adult is no where as easy as making them when you're in school!<br /><br />Cat<br />http://oddlylovely.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05104121904914125397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578996577431253756.post-20389237579833907832014-11-12T10:30:44.259-06:002014-11-12T10:30:44.259-06:00That story about your dad buying pool toys for you...That story about your dad buying pool toys for you to attract friends is so sweet.

It was so great that you were making an effort to go explore Dallas on your own, but it is ten times better to do fun things with friends. I think what is ever better about this is that it shows other people who are moving to a new city that it may just take time, but you will make friends and have a good time. Of course, it does help to have a guardian angel looking out for you. Moral of the story - your life was awesome before, but now it's just even more awesome.Kate Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03592188560265156841noreply@blogger.com
