Before Doha, I was in US then Singapore then Dubai. I can say that Doha is an exciting city and people are nice but I dont know why I am always bored here. I have less friends although I can say I am extremely friendly.

I wanna meet cool people herein Doha( I mean really cool regardless of gender preference, size, race or smell )

Please feel free to message me.

I also feel that "bored thing" but we have to overcome everything and face other things that can erase this, from another to another then until there is no way to cure it. The only cure for me is going home in my country and come back. And face another "boring life". And again and again,,

all your inquiries are present here. but before you move try to understand the culture and religion, you might get shock. so to avoid regrets make a suitable check, lifestyle, culture, people, invironment, etc. Opps! now is the month of ramadan. little bit harder here. ok...

By anonymous• 22 Aug 2009 19:03

why not try like this:

do something you want or like to do that you have never done before...

write, list and entitle them as projects... i guess you have so many things in your mind but just dont want to entertain them..

do one by one if you have idle time...

so you'll never get bored...

that's what i do...

then, have a lot of friends... but never get too close with them, just be casual (or else you'll have trouble... either you find user-friendly people or just plain friendly people..lol)

just remember, having friends whom you can talk to and listen to will ease your boredom but choose those who talk with sense otherwise your boredome will increase ehehehe...

we can be friends, cant we? just pm me if you want...

sometimes it's hard to fight boredom especially if you don't have your own family yet...no kids to play with. others might not understand and they say that they were never bored which i doubt. there always comes a point in your life that you feel bored out of your wits. anyways, try to hang out with new friends. you'll meet a lot here in doha. smile always :)
