[quote="newfromLondon"]Hi everyone!
I'm new to Dubai and have been here a month. One thing I have noticed in my short spell is that people do not seem to want to socialise! everyone at work is 'coupled up' or has a family to go to or just want to do their own thing..
surely I am missing something, there must be some single fun loving people out there that want to explore the UAE and beyond and meet people from all walks of life...I mean. that's why we pack up at home and move abroad right? to experience different things in life and meet different people - it's not all work, work work! i'm getting so bored now that I'm thinking of going back to the UK!
I am a v sociable female, and have never had problems in meeting people and expanding my social circle in the past but this is just weird...maybe i was wrong about dubai. Perhaps it is just for people who want to make a quick buck and leave ???
Cheers!!

Frankly it is true, but what's wierd is that females are never alone over here in dubai, I do face the same problem in dubai, there is a lot of ego and pride hanging around these people, you should either be in the same working place, same uni maybe, or same neighborhood, building to actually have access to friendship.
However if you do find the right people for hanging out, you will definitly enjoy your time in Dubai! Definitly that is!.
Well for a starter, I am a male 5th Year Nursing Student in Sharjah, I do go out often to dubai. Let's meet up and see how social you are =p
