Just finding new friends in this new place. And my boyfriend isn't too pleased

He's scared something bad could happen if I meet strangers in a new, unfamiliar city, as 1 month in is too soon.
Idk, that way, it's always scary to meet new people. Anyone could abduct, kidnap, kill me.
I plan to meet in broad daylight, in public place.
I don't even have money lol.
But idk, maybe he's right.
I mean, NOW I am scared.
Ugh. :(
I just feel so alone here. I feel like an alien.
