"The only thing a person needs in order to be happy, is something to be enthusiastic about."
I am alone a lot but I am not lonely. I have a lot of things I'm enthusiastic about.
Find what lights your fire and fan the flames. You may never get a date, but you'll enjoy the ever-livin' stuffins out of life.

I know all about it having lived in Orlando, Florida for over 20 years, most of it as single person. I was lonely too when I joined this site over 8 years ago. In fact, my introductory thread was called Quite Lonely. Hopefully, you will find meaningful fellowship here. Glad to have you onboard with us. Welcome to CC.
This is wild. I'm talkin' Elvis. Dark chocolate I presume.

Living in Athens....yeah....life can be lonely in a big city....it's hard to know who to trust at times.
I haven't been to Greece....flown over it. It looked awesome from the sky with so many harbors and inlets...I'm used to straight lines at the coast.
A word about prayer...powerful stuff. Kinda scary too. I got given a lesson quite pointedly by the Big Guy to mind my manners and watch my language because He is listening....even when we don't think He is.
It's OK to ask for a friend. It's OK to be one too. You know how it works...this new normal is just a little uncomfortable because of too many options and not enough directions being told to you.
Give it time and I'm sure you will be just fine.

TabinRivCA (the 2nd post) is right. You can google churches closest to you. try them out. Most have sun morning, some sun evening, some wed meals and fellowship, some bible studies to join, some in person, some on zoom. There's interest and activity groups online, "Meetup - We are what we do", on Facebook you can find local fun nights groups. You have to be courageous.
find a church, or small group bible study
When was in a big city all by myself and not knowing anybody, just ask God to send you friends/show you what to do
The library is always a place to go because books can be your friends and will stop you feeling lonely, they speak to your soul.
The other thing is you need to reach out dont always expect ppl to come to you.

You welcome. Im a big city gal..sometimes you just need to put on your big city girl pants. As they say
I have a friend that came from the country. She says her boyfriend had to calm her when she first moved to the city and just think of all the people were like cows in the pasture, minding their own business. They werent all out to get her. And maybe they wanted to be friends too.
You are not the only one.
