I am new as well and agree that Kathie is the person to introduce you to people. She has introduced me to a few (at Waterfront). I plan to be there again Saturday night for some more introductions. I too LOVE TO DANCE!! I also agree that you have to put yourself out there. By that I mean go to places, engage in conversations, participate in activities, be outgoing and not bashful. I'm not saying you're not doing these things; you probably are. I've only been here a week and feel like I will continue to have to put myself out there now and in the future to meet friends now and to meet future new friends. It's an ongoing process and one that takes time. As Hedoman said, "friendships develop over time".
As for inappropriate responses on TOTV, I take them with a grain of salt. I ignore the bad stuff and soak up the good stuff. Here again, I agree with Gracie, TOTV is a wealth of information. Even though I just arrived here, I've been reading TOTV for 2 years and know of no where else where I could have learned what I have learned about TV.
Bosoxfan - I wish you and any new Villagers, as well as myself, good luck in enjoying life here and meeting new friends. PS - if you're a dancer, I could use a dance partner!
