I definitely agree with inviting people for a shabbos meal. When I moved to where I live now last year I knew one other couple, and for a few months I was really sad that I just had no women to speak to. I’m not sure of your age, I am about to turn 24 with one child bH, I worked full time up until I gave birth and I worked in a different state then I lived so I was always driving and exhausted. We started inviting my husbands friends and their wives over and now I have a handful of very good friends, bH and feel much more at home. Acquaintances doesn’t cut it. I need a friend/friends I can text randomly, or give a call just to schmooze, or plan a walk to the park. It took some time but inviting people over did the trick.
