How to have just friends in Tunis?

Hi,
I have been now 1 month in Tunis, and its really hard to find friend here - I dont want boyfriend or relationship this kind of proposals I hear too much here, in the fact Im quite boring for that :/ I like sports (gym) riding, shopping etc. I'm living in la Marsa. :)

Welcome to Expat.com seijazag !

chercheur2007 > could you please post in English please ? By the way Expat.com is not a dating site

I have been livin in this country almost 2 years and even since i havent found any friends. And it feels really bad.

Time to organize an Expat.com meet up in Tunis maybe ? ;)

I'm a spanish boy and I have the opposite problem, when I talk with a girl she usually asumes that I want to become a boyfriend

Is it a tunisian thing in general?

It's a bit funny, but I think in Europe we usually look for friends before any other thing hahaha

hi seijazag
if you are just looking for friends and i mean it just friends then let me know i dont live far from you ;) salaam

yea i think it's hard to find a freind in 1 month in a whole new country...but ppl here are sympathic...

I am here for a month on a work assignment looking out for tunisian female friends to understand the culture and know more.

HELLO ALL, I PLAN ON MOVING TO TUNISIA THE END OF THIS MONTH AND I THINK IT WOULD BE A WONDERFUL IDEA TO HAVE SOME KIND OF MEET UP. I AM SCARED OF NOT MEETING ANYONE WHO I CAN JUST TALK TO OR HANG OUT WITH THAT SPEAKS ENGLISH CONSIDERING I DON'T SPEAK ANYTHING OTHER THAN ENGLISH. AND I THINK I WOULD BE REALLY BORED IF THE ONLY ONE I CAN COMMUNICATE TO IS MY HUSBAND. I WOULD LIKE TO TALK AND MEET OTHER PEOPLE.

Hi zitorina!

As you are on the anglophone forum could you please post in English?

Thanks and regards
Armand

Ok Armand, you're right!

The problem is that I don't know English well!

So,I'll try to translate and "sorry for mistakes".

I said that I'm from Algiers and I will begin my new work at Tunis by the end of december 2001.

I would like to know if it's expensive to rent a flat in Tunis and I would like to have some friends: I need some help and advices for my new life.

Thanks a lot.

Hello Friends ,

Its been 1.5 yrs Passed in Tunis , it true to get a friend here its difficult .. without friends life is getting bored ...

it will be good if we arrange for a expats meeting in tunis ...

Hi, my name is Angela, I am also a "wifey" lol and I was living in the USA before coming here, my husband is Tunisian and I am from Colombia. I also feel kind of lonely here, I don't have friends to hang out. I speak Spanish, English and French fluently :) I've been in Tunis one year now and I live in Ariana. :) Welcome to Tunisia!

welcome between us friend :)

Hi to all the expat ladies!  It's true it can be quite lonely for us but after some time it is possible to have just a very few female friends.  I live right now between the north and the south but if you would all like to meet for a lunch or coffee then perhaps we can organise it for a time in Tunis centre ville where I am sure we can all get to.  What do you think?

hi,
          im olivia pilipina leave now in tokyo,planing to visit tunis this coming march and i dont know about tunis and culture.im looking for a freind.

Bonjour,
