Owz600 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 I have friends, work friends and family. But most my close friends are at University and are busy doing there own thing. I only see them during holidays, as for my work friends we only go out once every few months. I need to gain other friends but from where? I have started to go to the pub with a friend but his friends aren't exactly the type I would hang around with. Where do I start to make friends?
january2010 Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Try: volunteer groups, clubs and societies for your hobbies, adult education classes, gym, coffee shops, go on organised day trips and singles holidays, etc. Also check the Meetup website to see if there are any interesting group in your area. Just start chatting to people and go from there. Good luck
Analog Man Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 I find myself in the same situation. I would suggest just being patient and making the best out of the relationships you currently share with other people.
JohnnyBlaze Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Try: volunteer groups, clubs and societies for your hobbies, adult education classes, gym, coffee shops, go on organised day trips and singles holidays, etc. I find this one to be the best. It gives you an instant in with everyone else and also gives you something to talk about.

For those of us not prone to "putting ourselves out there," this is one of the hardest challenges to overcome. But to make friends, you do have to go out and find them. It's only in very rare, fortunate circumstances that fate will actually send a new friend to you if you're not actively looking. I would recommend to do things that YOU enjoy, without too much attention to "finding new friends." If you like being active, join a running or biking group. If you like cooking, take a cooking class. Your potential best friends will be those who share at least one similar interest, so you if you pursue your interests, you're bound to make new friends in the process.

shayan Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 yeah, good advice here just go to clubs with similar interests
funinTibet Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Well, friends are everywhere, and you just need to go out and start communicating with people and working on relationships to meet friends. What are your pet interests? Join clubs, societies, organizations, forums associated with your interests and you will surely meet plenty of friends. Luck!
East7 Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 I agree with posters who suggest mutual interest places or hobbies to find friends. With my hindsight I have noticed that you can not force friendship. All human relationship with range from friendship to love happen naturally. There are people you will click instantly and others you can't be friends for X reasons. Keep talking naturally to people without being needy or insecure, just enjoy talking even to strangers without planning to befriend them. Also I would suggest to talk to people about your ideas, thoughts, passions, hobbies etc. You will be more attractive if you talk with passion about a topic that you like.
