So you moved to Manhattan for your job, possibly your first *real* job. You work in a male-dominated office. All of your closest friends live "back at home" or scattered across the country after you all graduated college. Now you, a fun-loving, happy, successful, sweet young woman, don't really have a close-knit group of friends here. Does that sound like you? Sweet, me too.
