I move a lot and know the feeling.  volunteer for something. anything. one time i volunteered to bring cakes, pies, and other sweet things to a shelter for poor people.

what  a thing. Me -- with all those cakes. Yum yum yum. munch munch munch. I gained weight  and had to quit. I started walking around my neighborhood and met some people. It worked pretty good.

It takes time. colleen had some pretty good answers for you.

your friend,

Well then get that car you were talking about, then get out there and socialize! See if there are any dance places or bars that are a little upscale, not seedy. Will your friend you're staying with go out to some place with you? Does he have friends that he can introduce you to for just having coffee with and chatting? One friend should lead to another friend and then to another and so on. Are you planning on working? Maybe you can get a job with lots of people in it or even volunteer somewhere.
