How does a young female adult get connected in this town?

By wizmotr

I have a western friend whose adult daughter will be coming for a
couple of months. She's out of high school and is coming on a visitor's
visa.

 

In conversations with him, he was asking me how to help her make friends here and I was pretty much clueless.
Doha strikes me as a place that isn't all that "friendly" or receptive
to young single women. (That would be a thread in itself).

 

So let me put this question to the collective
intelligence of this community: how can a young female make friends
safely in Doha? I'm not looking for guarantees, just suggestions.

 

If you have any personal suggestions I can pass along, please PM me.

what if she's not a online kinda person? perhaps she'd rather just go out and meet people in that case i'll be sitting at Chilli's wearing a blue tie and shorts for easy identification purposes :)

Defintely have her go out to some QL social events.  It's a really great way to meet people. :)

seriously ... ask her to hang around on QL and get to know the character. Once she feels comfortable she can join the social group. From there she can pick her friend.
