How to get a Girlfriend. Or several!


I'm on the prowl. For girlfriends.  

My dear friend, who has also made other astute suggestions (Get a therapist!) made a point to me the other day. She said, "You know what you need is a good group of girl friends." 
And I think she is right. (She is also right about the therapist...but that will have to wait for a day with insurance.)
I have a little group: a girl and a gay. We meet up once or twice a week for drinks, karaoke and/or whatever fun-ish thing  we saw in Time Out. But at the end of the summer the girl is moving. My go-to girl is going away. 
I have other friends, friends who I love, enough to make a point of seeing once a month. At least! But the really close girlfriendships  I have right now are all pretty far away. My sister, Jennifur, astute friend...
I am (or have been) very close with my boss. But being besties with a 45 year old woman who pays your bills has its limitations. 
Anyway,  I'm looking to meet someone new. Or even better someones. But I'm not really sure how to go about it. Most of the people from my improv group live in Brooklyn and therefore are out (jkay!). And I feel like most of my once-a-month friends already have close groups (from work or college) that I couldn't really fit into.
This is my query. There you have it Universe.

Lonely lips and quips, 
Becki
