Welcome on the forum cocoscar

May be the American expatriates in Belgium network can help you & your girlfriend to find some American contacts.

Regards

Where do you/she live, and what exactly is it you're looking for? And how come she didn't post this?

Hi everyone!

I'm the Californian girlfriend that cocoscar speaks of.  He found this site late last night when I was already asleep and just told me about it.

As he mentioned, I moved to Belgium about 7 months ago and I'm still adjusting to life here.  Although I've met some of my boyfriend's friends, I find that I am often the odd one out as the only native English Speaker, as conversations are often in French or Spanish.  It has been a bit lonely... so I'm just looking for the chance to meet new people/make some English-speaking friends of my own.

Right now we are living in Huy.

Hi and welcome on the forum dancchica530

You should have a look at the American expatriates in Belgium network as suggested by Yud! Hope you will make many contacts soon

dancchica530 not sure what to advise, except learn both French and Spanish. I know how you feel, but the sooner you try to adjust, the better. From another prospective - you are lucky to be able to mix with the locals and learn the language that way, the habits, the people in general. Take advantage of that. It will make you feel better. Huy is a bit of a distance from Brussels.

Ah, hey dancchica. I'd be happy to be friends or whatnot, but don't live in your area, I'm up north in Antwerpen, sorry.
