Oh Dejibo, please do one of the above! Go alone and keep going back. Although it might take time you will find someone nice to socialize with I promise. It took several months before I felt like I started getting to know the people in my Y spin class but now I feel like I even have a couple of causal friends.

Of course I’m always in favor of getting a dog if someone can afford to care for them properly and I have sworn for years that when my husband croaks or leaves me I’m getting a girlfriend…provided she will clean my house.
