“ Open minded liberal girl who would love to make new friends in the 'oop North' area as mine seem to have either left the area/gone all coupley/had kiddies etc... can be a bit frustrating come the weekend! I'm sure loads of us are in the same boat to varying degrees? I'm a southerner originally but came up to Yorksire in the early nineties and never went back. I also grew up in Southern Ireland so my friends are also spread far and wide which is ashame, why i'm hoping to meet new friends of either sex. I have always been a bit of a tomboy growing up with my Dad, so have had more male friends over the years....but girlfriends are goldust! ”
