Meabe this is not a good city for dominicans, my wife took the desition to come here I was thinking in NY. where I have more than three hundred friends and many cousins.
I don't like this kind of life, if things don't change soon my wife will have to stay here by her self.

Welcome to the South, but like some posters said, it will take time, when i say time, it means years to find friends.
What i had found out in my 7 yrs living here in the South (Atlanta, GA) is that, Americans adhere to the "i'm independent don't need friends or family mentally".
It will be hard to find friends, and good friends even harder as people here are more focus on their jobs (overtime work, second and third jobs) to pay for things they can't afford or need. They don't care about quality time with families members or friends.
All the people from other nationalities, have the same complain, that it's too hard to find friends and they feel lonely here.
