history: I just moved to a new city for a new job and I've been so busy I haven't really been able to go out and meet new people. I recently moved to a new city to start a new job. I've been so busy I haven't been able to make any new friends here and no one I know lives here either. Ah_comma_ I know that feeling well. My family moved around a ton while I was in grade school_comma_ so I don't really have many long term friends. Don't worry though_comma_ you'll make friends at your new job so easily_comma_ you won't even remember you didn't have friends!
current: Thanks for the positive words. I should probably make friends with my coworkers. I mean, I practically live at work.
next: I mean yeah, it can't hurt, can it? I'm sure they'll be excited to meet you and get to know you as much as vice versa. Plus, who knows? Your new best friend might be in there for all you know!
