Yes, she has family around. Also, walking is probably a slow way of finding opportunities to meet people. No, she's not desperate... but lonely. You're not being rude, but you must realize that picking up everything you have and moving to the largest city in the USA, 1,600 miles away... by yourself.... that's pretty intimidating.
not trying to beat a dead horse, but she didn't move to NYC. she moved to Connecticut. it's a HUGE difference. she has to commute every day, whether it be by Metro North train, or whether it be by some private chauffeur hired by her company. she should look for a place in Manhattan, it will bring her happiness. everyone should pick up and move across the country, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity
I do realize picking up and moving to the largest city in the USA, 1600 miles away by yourself is intimidating because I did the exact same thing. Again I have some friends and a cousin here so it wasn't THAT bad, but I still endured my hardships and had to find my own job, my own apt, and extend my circle of friends on my own. It's kind of like the people that *itch and moan about the state of this country, but don't get off their ass to vote. Or fat people who complain about how overweight they are, but drink coke and eat lard all day. TWO WORDS INPUT, OUPUT
She looked into that, but apartments in Manhattan are WAY too expensive. I hear ya. Like I say, she's normally very outgoing, but is in a bit of a funk right now.
The living in CT part may be part of the cause. Maybe I am stereotyping CT, but think it's harder to meet people there. Manhattan is a very expensive place to live in, but maybe a place like Brooklyn present more social opportunities.
Well, should could have done that, I guess, but she's already got a lease signed in CT, so it's really moot.
There are tons of things (festivals, fairs, free concerts) going on all over the city practically every single day of the week during the summer. She should come hang out in the city and plug herself in and see what happens. I'm sure her work has outings like happy hour/team building events...people go out after those things all the time. That's somewhere to start.
droxford, I am sad but not surprised to see everyone ignoring your stated request. She could start with a Schaum's outline on Calculus. If she can truly accept that integration is just derivation in reverse, that's a good first step. Also, she may be graphically inclined (not that, pervs!), so demonstrating integration via bar graphs is also helpful, I've found. I advocate her getting her feet set on the basics before she uses things like trig substitutions or integration by parts.
this really is the source of her problems. you've got to live and breathe the city to fully "integrate." I think she is a bit intimidated by the outer boroughs.
a friend of mine runs this site. You input your info, date location preference, partner preference. You also answer some questions and the engine will match-make for you. Your picture is blurred so you can't see each other until you see them, hence the name. http://CRAZYBLINDDATE.COM you can thank me later.
Break it. If its a cheap apt (assuming it must be since she decided to live in sticks instead of most exciting city on planet) then its only going to run her a couple grand. Eat ramen for one month. Read books from the library. Work late and get free meals (most firms cover your dinner if you work late around here) In the meantime, check out Summerstage ($150 for summer membership means u dont wait in line for any shows) - she has something going on in the park nightly.
