Good Company of friends.... but where?
I have been in this country for more than a year and have been going through most of the threads in this section "Socializing". It's amazing, how many people want to socialize...because they are singles...and when i say people, i am referring to normal, decent people... not super models nor filthy rich studs... people who are busy in their jobs for most parts of the week... and want some good time at weekends. But cannot find a good company of friends.
Engineers like me for instance, who are busy in their jobs, in Oil and Gas Industry, hardly get any time for themselves, and when the weekend arrives, its like what to do? Where to go? Who to talk to? I know i might be sounding a little too sensitive, but after an year's exploration, all i am able to find is gals who work for money and on the contrary gals who have those shields on them, so that no one can even intrude an inch in their privacy :)
BTW this thread, its not out of desperation, it after reading and experiencing the real thing.. Best of luck to all.
They share a few traits similar with other south east Asians, but they tend to have lighter skin colors. Sorry for sounding racist. Also they might tend to be with their own kind.
We are working together with JGC, Japan Gas Corporation on Barzan Project, one of the biggest project in the history of Middle East.
Plenty of Japanese and Koreans.
Plenty of Koroens and Japenese in Qatar. Hyundai is running some of the major projects in Qatar!
Is it me or is that there are almost no Koreans/Japanese to be seen here in Qatar?
Haven't encountered any until today, not sure if they were or not , but seemed like.
Quiet strange.
Ok, I am in too!! Decide a time and we shall meet up.
hi, lets make a group !! m here since long working with an engineering company though busy on weekdays but weekends are killing !.
Cool weekdays I am free after 6:30, but I probably leave around 10 pm, sadly I like my sleep. So weekends are ok with me.
@gmz21 , alright will see when I go next to souq waqif and give you heads up, no specific date .
Blosted since your like usually free at Souq Waqif maybe we should meet up :P
Gmz try going there with a card deck, then you can do yer moves!
Man I meant like people here tell you go to Souq Wakif, and socialize there. Honestly I don't know how people get to know complete strangers there. Like example your sitting at table B and I am sitting at table A, how would you fell if I come from table A and sit with and start talking with you randomly for no apparent reason. Honestly if it was me it would feel weird.
That's all I am saying, like if you meet someone from a forum or somehow you were both introduced to each other then you would have already a starting foundation. If I do sound unsociable sorry about that, actually I wouldn't mind meeting people.
@ gmz21 ... its simple... just be yourselves... I mean most people here don't have socializing issues... nor personality disorders :) lolz! Many of us would be the most surrounded people back in our communities.
I would say anyone who is looking for a nice company should just say it out loud here... Let people PM each other and find common interests. May be someone gets lucky :)
Wish you all the very best
Well most people well say Souq Waqif is the solution, but they tend to forget if people are asking to meet people, that means the people who are asking aren't sociable to begin with. And wouldn't know how to approach other people unless they are introduced to them.

And I was under the impression that it was harder only for single, Indian man to socialise, here...:)
Try being female, single and British here. Its even harder to socialise.....
Honestly I don't think anyone wants to do a gathering, but I would come in a flash :P
It is encouraging to see so many people actually reading and participating in this thread. Why don't we do something about it. Lets make a group or community or lets join one.
Any ideas? Lets look for solution....
all are busy in there on world...even room mates get to know their things from social networking sites, they hardly open up....
looking for someone to have a chat over phone or in person...
WELCOME ALL
we are new here in qatar,and we are looking for a friends...
@landloverreview - Where is this meetup group? Is it an online group?
Although i am not that down in the hierarchy within my organization, but i truely agree that being friends and colleagues is two different things.
I love to play cricket, table tennis and into video gaming as well.
If ur looking for a one or two close friends then of course its difficult but just to happily spend your weekends & have fun you can join social groups like coachsufring or meetup etc where you will have both guys and girls spending time together.
well what kind of hobby and or sport you like to do,.
find a club or gathering from people that like to do the same as you in there freetime..
and yes,.dont mix with company/coworkers,. most of the time.it ends up bad. and then who to leave you or "the other one" .most of the time the lowest in rang
this is something very true deadman... There is no real friendships or attachment or intimacy here in this busy world.. And the drama guys will pick the negative side from the fact you said... see spybots reply..
No i am might disappoint you on that :) I am from Pakistan
Ya, i didnot want to be disrespectful to anybody.... thats why i used that phrase :)
I am Civil Engineer.
UK...I hope so...:)
HGL..You will get there eventually..:)
Agree. But most wouldn't agree to accept the reality. While most want to find the company they would hesitate to be in the company. I am yet to solve this puzzle of the singles (men) of Doha...:)
Gals who work for money that's interesting hahahahaha...so u mixing with the wrong ppl, wht kind of engineer r u?..
