dubai is less social and ppl are more conservative compared to West. Most of my friends I made are through cold approach. First they were taken back by how talkative I was then they opened up. Some ways to meet ppl are :
1, learn new language (j' apprends francais a l' alliance francais Dubai)
2, Join volunteer
3, Clubs - most ppl here are young (make sure dont go to Deira ones)
4, Get into hobby groups like dubai dragon boat (festival city) , scuba group (lemme know if u r interested)
5, Some forums like this one or dubbizle.
If she is into media she HAS to be social if she is to make any impact into her career as I had many female friends into PR, communication they were very social and made strides in their career. Best way to overcome shyness is to talk to random ppl and join speaking club which are available in Dubai.
