is everyone so paranoid?  i took this to mean "childern that are the same age as mine".. please add the rest of you question, so we can be more helpful...\n\nTry looking into church groups or local community centers.  You may also help your childern find new friends by getting them involved in a 4H program, Scouts, or sports (like AYSO Soccer or t-ball)  \n\nIf it's a smaller commnity, check bulliten boards... around my area events are posted on bulliten boards at post offices and grocery stores. If you find something that interests you, go.  \n\nSince you are fleeing an abusive relationship, a local shelter or simmilar service that provides conseling for people in your situation may be able to help you readjust.

I think the most important thing is to be yourself. You dont want kids at a new school liking you for someone you're not. \n\nSecondly, I would suggest you get involved with activities in the school and or the community. Examples would be a sporting team, speech club, choir, band, a church group, etc. Those are always good ways to meet new people, espeically people who are interested in the same things you are. \n\nAlso, dont be shy. Although it might be hard because you're around new people, don't hesitate to initiate conversations with people. That's how you'll get to know them. You're starting all over with a blank slate. No one knows what you've done in the past or about you at all for that matter, so let them know who you really are. \n\nFinally, best of luck to you! I'm sure you'll do just fine. =)

Well think about where you are meeting these people and don't go there. There are plenty of places to meet decent people (church, library, school, supermarket, volunteer groups). Try out some of these and you will meet a better caliber of people.

Depending on our situation meeting people to become friends with can be very easy or extremely difficult. Clubs, local organizations activities, schools, church, libraries, book stores, gyms, jogging, parks, beach, lakes, malls, etc. can all be places to meet new people. Once you’ve met them talking and keeping the person interested is probably the most important thing.\n\nTo keep the other person interested in a conversation don't talk about yourself too much. Ask simple friendly questions to get to know the person better, talk about any interests you have, classes, guys/girls, parents, etc. Become genuinely interested in the other person.\n\nThere are lots of ways to start a conversation; keeping yourself informed on current events, staying involved in activities and keeping a mental list of good topics of discussion are excellent ways to break the ice.\n\nFor other topics to talk about you can search the internet about things that you, or the people you will be talking with, are interested in. If you like games, perhaps search for the latest information about the x-box 360 games, pc games, ps3, revolution, etc. If you like tv-shows, movies, books, pets, etc. A few jokes from time to time can also be a great ice breaker.\n\nAlso remember that body language is very important! Most people don’t even realize it but most times you’ll already have made a lot of decisions about the person by their body language and tone, before you’re more than a minute into a conversation. You want to be cool, calm, and collected; act like the person is an old friend, even if you’ve never talked to them before, and make sure to look them in the eye. Instead of focusing on how uncomfortable you feel, prepare yourself by thinking of the issues that interest you most and what you would like to discuss about a particular subject. A little preparation can go a long way.\n\nPay Attention to what the other person says! This one is Extremely useful as you can bring it up at a later time and the other person will be surprised and pleased that you remembered.\n\nContinue to speak to everyone you know regularly. If you are walking and see someone you haven’t talked to in a while, stop for a moment and talk to them. It does not have to be a long conversation, just say hello, see how they are doing and if anything is wrong. You would be surprised by how little effort is required to win the friendship of others when you require nothing of them.\n\nBe nice and generally try to end the conversation on a good note. You don't have to make sure the other person has a great time Every Single conversation, but you don't want to think of all the petty arguements they've had with you.\n\nArguements... Don't. There are Very Few 'good' arguements. "The only way to get the berst of an arguement is to avoid it."\nIf you're wrong, admit it.\n\nDO NOT critize the person, or a friend, when talking to the person. If you want to point out something they did wrong, try to point out something similar you did wrong.\n\nSmile! Not a forced smile, the person you're talking to will be able to tell the difference. And you don't have to be an overly happy hyper-active person. Just smile naturally and, if you can, be somewhat happy. Remembering good times with your friends/family can help.\n\nLet the other person do a lot of the talking and be a good listener. (Somewhat stated in my first advice, ask questions, talk about interests the other person has. Answer questions sincerly.)\n\nHonestly make the person you're talking to feel important. You don't want to fake this one or do it too often, but if you honestly think they did something well, give them that praise.\n\nIf you want more advice, there are a couple good books that Will actually help. How to Win Friends and Influence People, is probably one of the best ones. It's an old book, but trust me, it's just as useful today as it was when it was written.\n

Just get involved in some activities right there in Oklahoma.  There are millions of people who live in Oklahoma so there are plenty of people for you to meet.  Try going to church, getting involved in a local club or a political campaign or going to school.  Those are all great ways to meet people.

People down south are very friendly, and we love people like they're family. The way to meet people is to get out and get involved in various activities.  Join a club that interests you. If you meet a guy there, he's interested in the same thing. Take a class, for fun, at the community college, like knitting, painting, computer, etc. Go to ball games, outdoor concerts, street dances, etc. The main thing is...get out of the house. Good Luck! Welcome to the south.

Join the PTA, school functions. You want to find friends that also have children. Even at the local park, when the kids are playing. I have met many very nice friends, your kids start talking and then the moms start talking.

You are doing it all correctly.  It takes time as small towns are quiet, people are content with less, and to my knowledge small towns are not sizzling society parties.  I moved to just such a small town from a large city.  Lower your expectations.  Continue what you ar doing, keep a nice garden others will enjoy and complement upon.  Take a plate full of cookies or some fresh fruit to a neighbor( do not expect much other than thank you).  Smile at everyone, Join a local church. You must be patient as newbies in small towns are suspect(they think why did this person move to this small town?).  You are doing just fine.........

I'm trying to figure that out myself...I've tried doing the online thing..but that hasn't worked out to well. Mostly I found just meeting people through friends has worked the best. Going to party with friends and in groups I find a little easier to deal with than one on one, more people to bounce off conversation with.\n\nVolunteer work is a good place to and if you're religious Church.
