Heya guys, anyone up for a second Casual Coffee meet this weekend coming (9th or 10th Jan)
As you know, you don't HAVE to drink coffee, you can get some kinda other yummy beverage of your choice, i'll be nice and not force you to drink caffeinated drinks that are really really bad for you <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='  ' />
ANY TAKERS!?

Hi there. I would have liked to have met up for a coffee but only arrived in Melbourne a few days ago.
I joined this site before hand hoping to meet some people as i know no one, so what is a girl to do hehe. I'm also 24 and sort of don't know where to start with this city. I imagine you work during the week but i'm hoping to venture in this week. You seem like a down to earth person, like-wise so if you are free anytime let me know. It seems just like such a huge city and hard to meet people so yeah, hope to hear from u soon.
all the best <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='  ' />

Hi again. Well I've come to Melbourne to study post grad(medical sciences) and work. Lived the the UK for the last two years and travelling....but am from NZ.
Enjoy all sorts of things...going to museums, to see some good art, photography, cafes, outdoorsie things, movies, walks, beaches, parks, a bit of everything really hehe.
Don't know many people in Melbourne and have only been here a week so would be great to meet some open-minded down to earth people who are into similar things <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':gathering:' />

Hi Kara - and everyone else on here <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=' ' />
I am moving to Melbourne in April - planning on living in Melb/Docklands area, and the thing I am most nervous about is making new friends as I don't know anyone there. Kara i was reading another one of your posts and it was so unbelievable because i was also engaged (7 year relationship) which broke up and I am moving to Melbourne to have a fresh start and work out who I am and what i want from life etc. I am 27 and currently live in Perth. I am sad to be leaving Perth because I will miss my family so much and I have so many great friends here, but its just something i feel i need to do; can't explain it really... When i do get there it is so great to know that there are friendly people also interested in making new friends. Feel so much better now!

Welcome to Melbourne Chat, Verity.
The docklands is a fairly bustling area of Melbourne that should present plenty of opportunities to make local friends too.

Naww, i'm so sorry to hear that Verity. It's extremely hard but it will get easier. I actually found the lifestyle changes the hardest part - but now almost 6 months on they are the MOST rewarding aspect! You'll find a whole new freedom. I hope it wasn't too much of a messy breakup =(
We'll try and organise a coffee meet when you're here! =) We're FAR overdue for one already!

Sounds good! Yeah, it was very messy - it happened 2 years ago so I'm well and truly over it, but I have only just managed to cut ties (we owned a house together) so now i can really move on and start doing what I want to do. Its so exciting... Hope yours wasn't too traumatic.... although you sound like you are doing great now; well done!

omg ... 2 years ado and you have only JUST cut ties ... one of the relieving parts to my breakup was we had no assets or children together and were not as yet married so it was nice and easy to break away and i feel so much better for it all happening now.
I am indeed! I'm living life and loving life more than ever.
Feel free to add me on msn if you wish - i think it may be on my profile somewhere ... else feel free to PM me anytime =)

Sure, why not? I do love coffee and we drink way too damn much of it back home in Seattle. You name the place and a time after 4 if possible because I am busy until then. I have just recently arrived in Melbourne so this would be fine and fun.

hmm, i've gone AWOL for a bit but popped back in for a few. Anyway I'd love to join you folks for coffee. Much like Verity, kinda moved here to start afresh - post break-up etc. Ohhh the mess x.x Anyway would love to meet some new people and over coffee or other yummy beverages sounds like the way to do it <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=' ' />

Hi,
I am from India and have been in Melbourne for a while.
Most of my friends have moved back to India or have been partnered off, so I am trying to make some new friends to hang out with.
The coffee idea sounds great?
Do we have a location?
