Does that mean that hype about TV being "the friendliest hometown" is just a marketing ploy?
We have been hoping that when we come down in the winter, we will make friends easily based on all the advertising. Is that just a pipe dream?
Of course life isn't perfect in "the friendliest hometown". Just like anywhere else, there are friendly people, but also cliques and lots of established friendships.
However if you are cheerful, friendly and caring you will have no problem making new friends.
Even hanging out at the adult pools is a great way to meet people.
Many of the people you meet will not "click" with you and so you won't pursue getting together.
Gradually you will find people with similar interests and you will "click" with them and get to love them.
It takes time. Have patience, and soon you will have formed some wonderful friendships.
