warrenorabbits Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 I just moved to a new city two months ago and need to make new friends. I'm an introverted but complex guy with a lot to him, and most people that I meet like me. The problem is I'm acutely aware of when things are "awkward" so I don't always feel comfortable going up to strangers and asking about the weather. Also, most of my life right now is work and I want to meet people outside of work. How did you meet your best friend? Where did it start? And how do you meet people that are maybe not your best friends but who still are friends? I'm a little new at putting myself out there and I figure this life change is a great place to start.
preraph Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 To make friends, you have to be in the vicinity of the same people for some period of time, like a month, usually. So you make friends at school, at work, neighbors. Find a place to hang out, too. Important to go actively do things you best love, whether that's going to zoo or going out to see bands or bowling. You'll meet your best matches doing the things you love. Always try to be open and offer strangers a smile and a "hey" and the more gregarious ones will reciprocate, I've found.
