Ah yes, that holds true here in NYC, too. I have lived here for 6 years and other than my husband I have only met two other truly good friends here. One moved away though. 
I have met a few fellow bloggers who are also friends though we don't see each other all that often. I think it's the fast pace? I don't know. But don't worry, I'm SURE it's not us. 
This is my fourth move in two years. I've lived in an area like you have before this area. Just try the masjid especially in Ramadan which I know is a long way off or try going to friday prayer. You never know LD might wind playing with someone and you can become friends with. Its tough stuff but not impossible. Some places are a little harder to make friends but never impossible.
I'm sorry. This is one thing I worry about when considering being a stay-at-home whatever - is that I am naturally introverted, I don't come with a set of automatic friends due to some circumstance - I worry I will be quite lonely and isolated.
Thanks you guys. It really helps to know i'm not the only one!
Otowi - i find as long as i have a friend around i'm good. You don't need a lot, just one good one. It's finding that one good one that is hard. It took me 2 years in Atlanta to find that one and probably will take the same here. Insh'Allah we won't be moving right when i do like the last time...
I hope so!
yes, being a SAHM is hard sometimes, especially if you tend to be naturally introverted or a homebody (ummm, like me)... I am isolated, yes, but lonely? No. I guess it just depends on an individual person and how much social interaction they require, because i know some ppl would go stir crazy with my lifestyle, yet i am ok with it ... I think the NJ/NYC/CT area is especially hard to "break into" socially. Its such a transient area that long-lasting meaningful relationships are difficult to form. Difficult, but not impossible. Plus, us Northerners tend to have a "I'll stay outta your business if you stay outta mine" attitude LOL.. In the south, it seems more easy going and social but i wonder if its only a surface social? No matter... sometimes thats all a busy mommy is looking for lol!!! ok... got a kid tugging my arms which is making it difficult to type.... i hear ya on the fighting hehehe... Move up here sis 
Thinking of you...
tell me about it...yup that's NJ. Now you know what I talked about before you moved to this place . I told you NorthEast but especially NY & NJ have a totally different attitude. These states have an attitude.(seriously). ANyway, Good luck with your search for a good friend.Hope you find one soon.
Haven't checked in in a while. Hang in there.
i'm so sorry to hear that because i do know that "what is wrong with me" question! i lives in switzerland for almost 5 years and when i move to taiwan i had nobody to say goodbye and it hurts badly! now i'm living in taiwan for just 3 months and i can say i have lifetime friendS!
it makes all the difference!
i hope you can meet a very good friend and soon!
