    Hello everybody.

    The problem I have is the following one: I have a straight male friend who is going through a depression since he was dumped by his former girlfriend.

    He doesn't have many friends, so he doesn't have the chance to know new people.

    I have introduced him to some of my friends. But my closer female friends have a boyfriend. Anyway, I think it will be good for him to know more people and make new friends.

    He is a bit shy at first until he gets to know the person better.

    We have tried some chats, but he wasn't successful.

    Personally, I think is better to know new people in person.

    Now he's asked me for some help to find a new girlfriend. So I'm going to talk to my friends to introduce him more people. In that way, I think he'll have a bigger chance to find a new partner.

    What do you think? Any ideas?

    Thank you in advance. :slight_smile:

    I think that's the best way to go about it.

    Other than being the mutual link between them, you can't do much to help your friend get a partner. There's no magical way to get two people together - they need to do it themselves.

    Just keep introducing people to him. Invite him to parties, and if you see someone interested in him, give them a tiny, tiny nudge in his direction. Then it's all up to him.

    I wish you and your friend good luck. (*hug*)

    A friendly game of mixed doubles tennis at some local courts?

    I've told him about playing some sport or doing any other activity. But he doesn't feel like doing so.

    Thank you so much. :slight_smile:
