It is difficult to make friends in Dubai?


Sofia Iīm single, Iīm going to work 1 year in Dubai. But I want to know if it posible find serious people and make goog friends in Dubai. The stories that I hear are not good.
LadyFashion it s not difficult you just need to find the good ones;) muyesser it's not any different than anywhere else, you only need to look around.. xl quatroporte First welcome to Dubai and to Dubai Forums Making friends is not complicated... just socialize with your work colleagues and go on from there good luck :) rudeboy also you have to lower your requirements and dont be so choosy. quatroporte
naaaah I disagree...
if you are looking for a relationship? just go and pick up the best of the best :D
in this part of the world you have almost 5 men for every 1 woman.. Sofia I am not interested in a loving relationship, I only want to make some friends. I donīt want to spend all weekends alone. Life can not be only work. In any case, thanks to answer rudeboy
what kind of friends are you looking for? honestly speaking you wont find any friends on a forum. well atleast NOT this forum :D not so many friendly ppl here :P. i suggest you join a club or an activity or a cooking club. maybe u might find someone here but on the net its very easy to be a pretender. Sofia Got it. Thanks. What kind of friends am i looking for?..Good people with sense of humor, hardworking, formed with criteria ... I think that foreigners are going to work in Dubai because have similar purposes: progress and saving, or not?... but I think it is also important to keep a good quality of life; so if I donīt have my family with me I would like to meet some good friends. I like the idea of "Clubs, Associations..." Just wrote here because I thought that maybe, probably, someone could give me an opinion ... as you did. LadyFashion Hi Sofia Don t worry you will find as soon as you will reach Dubai If not just a hellooo i will be happy to add another friend to my liste..

dee7o Hey Sofia, I've lived here for a long time but I've also traveled on my own before so I know what it is like to be in your shoes. I wouldn't worry though, in my experience, if you have an attractive PERSONALITY, people will approach you no matter what. Just be yourself and live your life here as you find best suits you. Eventually, you will make good friends. Don't listen to all the people who tell you they're lonely here and so on. Not everyone in Dubai can be bad. Think about it, the city has people of all possible nationalities and backgrounds. How can EVERYONE be unfriendly. I hope you decide to come here, I think you'll enjoy your year here :) Sofia :idea: Sofia Thanks, it's nice what you say.... Itīs a fact; I will be in Dubai on March 15... A challenge: every city has many tourist sites promoted in travel agents ads, etc ... but every city also has "special places" that are only know by the locals or by people who really know a city; example: in Buenos Aires, Argentina, itīs a little restaurant in Recoleta neighborhood that each Friday night you could go and listen piano music live, the place is really special… Sooo, which are they and where are those special places that Dubai has.... Who wants to share your special places?... is like to getting know a little part soul of Dubai city. MC Friend is just another word for acquaintance till I get to sleep with you. You will find lots of people being 'friendly' and 'funny', but chances are it's not cause you have a great 'personality'. Though I'm probably just talking out my ass again... Anyway for the right price I'll be your friend! Sofia MC, I just want to visit Dubai, learn about the culture, learn about my futures coworkers, have a good and interesting year... donīt asume what you really donīt know... but is your opinion and we have respect it, itīs a free world and you could express your self as you want. dee7o
Some of my favorite places:
Barrasti (sp?): Outdoor bar on the beach. Entrance free. Kinda fun.
Turkish Rose/Turkey Rose: Small Turkish restaurant on Shkh Zayed Rd. Btw I'm not Turkish, I just like their food.
Basilico: Italian Restaurant in Dubai Marina. Great food. Italian Chef
Theater at Madinat Jumeriah (forget the name): If you feel like catching a play or whatever. MC
I didn't assume anything...I'm just saying don't be naive. Doesn't matter. My friend services are still for hire! babu79
Dear Sofia, good to know abt u and ur intrest of friends , even i belive we guys come to Dubai to progress and to save little bit. Its true that sense of humor, hardworking, having a good quality of life and having good friends of all culture is important for every one. Every thing has learning in life. I belive the same, once you are in Duabi pl do let me know, good to have friends like you.
Regards, rudeboy

aishamalik what about work friends, you spend time with them every day, they might be easy to trust Mentori i been in Dubai about 15 time's and to be hinest with all you i never have chance to even talk with any female, I will really be happy if i can get female friend in Dubai but it is Hard :( Ruskie
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!! Anosh Welcome DUbai Sofia... :) zuzudiva I would say its difficult, bcz im in dubai 3 years, im a secretary and only female working in this company. so can u imagine how hard is that?! And i have attractive personality, but the thing is that only male would like to talk to me. And i feel lonely sometimes. muyesser

I am new in dubai and am here on a work assignment for 2 months. they have resided me on a 3 bedroom apartment in dubai marina.....alone.... :( its really boring here......i mean yeah its an amazing city and have many places to visit and enjoy.......but fact is......i don't like to go out without a company and get pretty lazy when i get alone......... so haey sofia (and anybody in dubai who is sensible and can get some time from his/her busy schedule), do you have a place for another friend in your list with whom you can meet up and enjoy? asimkh Well, i wish, can go with someone but busy in work plus not have driving licence to move around... but u must go to beaches in eveing at jumeriah side try night safari or try finish or boating package deals ...also different food stuff but all things are enjoyable after 5pm when its abit less hot massage centers, drinking at pub and gabbling can try but am not into it. visit Ibn mall or emirates mall... stylishly designed snow land in city centers play snooker:) or bowling@. camel riding @ :) besides this in two months u will be busy so plan something every week bcoz time go fast if ur busy else u can plan or visit sharjah or abu dhabi :) matrixsun open your heart , it s not difficult bsr Scorpion King
By now I am sure you must have made a lot of friends...??? bsr Hey Sofia - Hows life been . I am new to Dubai - going thro the sam epain of finding new good friends. Mind sharing your experiences. Cheers accilies Been here for a while now but was too busy (maybe i thought I was) to make any frnds outside my office !!! Not intrested in love relationship BUT would like to spend my weekend in good company. So you in Dxb now? Where you working and whats going on with you? Lets talk and then see if we could atleast meetup. tc and njoy sunmstr Hi folks, It takes a lot of effort to make friends in Dubai. People at work hardly hang out. I miss New york and Chicago where an evening drink together before you got on the train was routine. Going out for a round at the driving range or an afternoon in the park with friends for a night out dinner and movie is normal If you go hang out at bars and clubs here most often you will be approached by a pay to play date. All clubs here require a female to accompany you, so there goes the chance of meeting someone. harrySFRIEND :nike: :newb: highfly I like to meet man and women who like realy good friendship. Friendship has great impact on life. Please join me.[color=cyan][/color] eyad84
no man can prevent him self from desiring a nice girl, but NORMAL guys dont allow them selves to be diven by hormons when the girl is a good friend/ potential friend.
so I guess what u r saying is not applicable for all guys
cheers Bora Bora
What an honest answer you big HO. haroon Dear all, I am new in dubai, looking for a good relationship, friendship or others. Is there any good female friend to talk about life. goem Hi All, I am from indonesia and will introduce my self.. my name is gumilar and willing to make friends in dubai. I apologize because my english not very well. Thanks for your introduction. Best Regards, goem Papercut I think making friends here is pretty much the same on how you make friends elsewhere. I mean, yes, the scene's pretty much diverse and there are a lot of factors to consider, but hey, it all boils down to your attitude. It's like pure physics, for every action there's an equal reaction. Be nice and you'll get nice in return...but not all the time, hehe! Jst don't be too naive. Know the boundaries. It also helps to do some little research on the cultural background of the place. I'm also new here in Dubai, and I've made some friends already. But jst a few. (And i wanna meet more, you can never have too many friends, ayt?)And i've also met some creepy weirdos, so be careful, guys! Peace out! keepurpcclean hai sofia,, iam in dubai for ur all kind of pc issues , laptop maintenance. all it rlated jobs, u can send keepurpcclean@gmail fetish Well it depends on criteria of choosing friends. Not all or anyone can be called friend. I am born and brought up here but still have a very fewer friends; not becoz i couldnt get along but didnot find sincere ones. So finding friends is a task. I agree some extent to papercut with the attitude bit... and Equal reaction. Com on guys, lets adopt an honest approach and attitude for friendship. I have a group of 6 friends with recruitment options still opened... :) Bora Bora
Do they all have nice feet? :roll: Speedhump Are you saying he has the fetish or you? :shock: Bora Bora
Would it make a difference? Do you have nice feet? :roll: :wink: Speedhump My pedicurist tells me so.....:P Papercut
Can i pass my CV then? :wink:
