Salaam

I am a non-hijabi muslimah living in near Hayes (west london) and would like to make a new female friend with whom I can socialise with on a regular basis. Maybe just meet up for a coffee; visit the theatre or cinema or stay at home and have a cuppa.

What I have noticed with my most friends is that they are very busy with work or family and although I understand that everyone has priorities, I feel I am missing out on friendships which are not only social but also where you can meet a person on a one-2-one basis regularly and share feelings; experiences and problems.

Recently, I had a personal problem and I looked through my mobile to see who I could talk to about it. I have at least 10-15 female friends. Out of all of them, I am close to about 5 and when I called, either the call went straight to voicemail or they didnt answer so I left messages. In the end I called my sister who although I am close to, I didnt really want to speak to because I couldnt divulge all the information that I wanted to. Sometimes we need to be able to talk to friends rather than family.

I am in my mid thirties, never married and spend alot of time at home with my parents. I yearn for a female companion that I can spend time with who is on the same level as me and who has free time like I do. Who doesnt mind coming over to my house, even if its raining or their is traffic congestion. I go out of my way to meet people but it just seems that everyone is just way too busy and can only meet me when they want to.

Most weekends now I seem to be free and I end up going out for long walks to prevent boredom or visiting my sisters.

If you are looking to make a new female friend and are local to me why not drop me a line. I dont mind what your nationality is but do prefer to meet someone who is single and over 30 years old. Please also note that I fit my outdoor social activities around prayer times so I hope this wont be an issue for you.

Please PM me

Hope to hear from you soon.

Sis, salaams and welcome :) I don't live anywhere near you :( but are you active in your community? Maybe if you joined in activities sponsered by your local masjid or msu/msa, you may find some sisters who are local that are friendly and suitable to be good friends. And like the sis said, you are more than welcome to hand with us ladies here as well :Love:

Peace

sisters should be very careful about meeting ppl they dont know from the net, not dissing u Russo, just saying be very careful.

While I don't think she'd get into too much trouble with us ladies :D I definately agree with youbro, that's why I suggested she gets to know some sisters in her location.


Peace

inshaallah if you go to your local masjid or sisters circles you'll meet new sisters.

You say you'd like someone who'd visit you, despite traffic or rain, is this because other sisters have let u down?


I know a few sisters in your area, if you pm me we'll talk inshaallah, you know all the sisters i know are practising allhumdulilah and will fit prays into their day whenever the time for salah comes, i dont understand what u mean about out door activities, you mean you'll pray duhr when u get home kinda thing??

you know many museums and libraries have a prayer room, and we should try and pray our salah when the time comes, i'm telling myself before anyone else as i've been praying my asr when i get home at 7, though i know i could pray at work stafrighla

maybe we london girls could do another meet up inshaallah and then you'd meet us all at once in a public place, much safer for everyone, plus we usually eat yummy food!

Yea sister, I'm from Malaysia and im coming to England this September inshaallah, to Egham Surrey (30minutes from Central London, like I'm told), to study at Royal Holloway and I really dont want to be alone there. Perhaps we can meet up inshaAllah.

Thanks for the suggestion.

There are a few local masjids to me so I will try them and I'm sure I will meet local sisters.

When I meant fitting outdoor activities around prayer times, I mean that I always pray on time and make sure that when I go out that it doesnt conflict with my prayers time and that I will pray at home or if I am at friends house i.e somewhere safe rather than in a public place which might cause issues or awkwardness.

I.E my life revolves around prayer times not the other way around.
