HI

We are both 32 years old, well educated, Sikh, married couples residing in Brampton. Originally we are from Chandigarh. We have been in Canada for 5 years now but unfortunately we dont have any friends to hang out with or talk to. Its not that we have not tried it, its just that for some reason nobody clicked us upto that extend where are comfortable hanging out with them. Any couples around that age group plz reply.

regards
Harry

HI Harry,
Make it a point to netwrok and you will get friends.
if you advertise, you may end up with Primerica and Quixstar friends, which is not needed.
Try going to Brar restaurant once in a while and may be try to start up a conversation with those that look at you in the eye.

Hope this will help you.

5 years of stay, punjabi, in brampton .... no friend
Can't believe it ... plan to attend any community function / celebrations .... and make contacts in addition to following "restaurant" advice by TK.
What you do for living ?

Sometimes it is best to have no friends in Canada.
Once I got in contact with a IT person who said that he was from my same town. He started exploiting me and asking me to take him to $ 1 shop, take him to agent to file his tax return etc.. he became a pain to me that I had to cut his relationship.
take it slow. Also I forgot to mention that you might get some very good contacts with Gurudhuwara's.

Peace

Try meetup groups - there are many desi groups - since you didn't mention kids - it might be perfect for you.

The best way to make friends is through related people - meaning people you come into contact with through some regular and bonafide reasons eg. Colleagues, parents of children's friends, friends of friends etc.

It is difficult to make good friends with whom you gel and have regular outings. This is due to the fact that we become choosy and guarded and always feel people are "taking advantage" of us. This kind of a feeling is just not conducive to a lasting friendship.

All the best!

5 years of living in brown town of Canada and no friend, both of you ! ! ?? !! Or being your first post you just wanted to throw a coin to watch a farce ?
My suggestion will be instead of looking for a friend, you actually need to be introduced into a friend circle and then you go from there cozying up into one or 2. You will find your 'click' among that circle.
A good friendship is not constructed, it just happens! In your next post, Please list your priorities in life , your area, interests, drinking habits, language, profession and aspirations.
