I Am Lonely In America by 2Banty: 7:00am On Apr 15, 2018 |
Hey Nairalanders, I have been in the US for some months now and I am in a white dominated state still figuring out the culture and way of life et al. I need help in making friends with these folks here because it’s a very different lifestyle from home. Please for those who have experience and are living or have lived in the US, how do I make friends here? Thank you very much |

If you are there legally try to volunteer or attend social gatherings. That way people get to meet you and know your personality. It will jelp you meet like minds and maybe develop friendships 15 Likes |

delishpot: Thank you. I try my best to attend social events and I try to make small chats but it always leads to making acquaintances and not real friendship. I don’t get sincerely. |

2Banty: Well, look for foreigners club. Most are available on FB. Locate any such group in your locality and join in if available. People need time to get to know you na. They may need more getting to know ya before they consider you a friend. Since they are aquaintances check to see everyonce in a while if they are available for some meet up 1 Like |

While it's good to mingle with people and make new friends, you must bear in mind that not every friend is worth it. Be careful not to hop into those that will land you into trouble. That said, try not to overdo anything, lest it becomes encroachment. You are in a new environment and perhaps, need to learn one or two things. Now that making new friends seems urgent, I would like to build my advice around your purpose of being there, if you don't mind, that is. 6 Likes |

First off, USA is not a country "so dominated by whites" as you made it look like. Matter-of-factly, it's a home for all people of the world. If you find it difficult making friends over there, I just wonder what manner of man you are putting into consideration the high number of blacks we have over there.Identify with your people just like you do at home.Most whites come across to be snobbish and I assume you aren't expecting an embracing attitude from them. Attend social functions, get talking with people...you would make friends eventually..not forgetting that people don't warm up to strangers that easily. True and valuable friendship isn't made in a day. I believe your main purpose of travelling to US cant just be to make friends? Don't you have friends before? It doesn't make sense to me. There are other profitable ventures you can commit yourself into other than mere making of friends. 4 Likes 3 Shares |

Shouldn't be difficult if you are legal, and you work/school In the alternative, check craigslist ( be safety conscious though) for happenings in your city. Download and join all social media app( especially location based apps) ( Tinder, IG, Snapchat, Badoo etc) |

myself13: Since you are not even in the USA, dont write the op off. Alot of people i know who travelled out to America didnt find it funny as regards having friends and all except you have an extended family over there who you relate with very well. Life there is obviously different from here likewise the people and their lifestyle. If you are the type that is the extrovert type over here may not find it easy at first over there as you will find it boring but this will improve with time. 1 Like |
