I know exactly how you feel. I have moved a lot and I can say with all honesty that sometimes it's harder than others. I don't know if certain regions are just more interested in new people than other places? Or maybe some groups are more accepting of new people?

I lived in Greensboro, NC for almost 4 years and when I left, I had zero close friends outside of work.

I've been in Oregon about the same amount of time, and I feel like I have lots of friends that I could just call for a lunch or a drink or whatever...

I'm the same person and I do mostly the same stuff, so it's just really hard to say.

Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of advice. I'd be happy to go out for drinks and girl-talk with you when I'm in town, though! We have an office in Apopka and recruit at UCF, so I will be in the area a couple of times a year.
