I'm in my 30's and I don't have alot of friends, I do make an effort to talk to people, but some aren't interested in a friendship, etc, etc. What are some places? Fitness classes, volunteering, church?

I was also asking this before I saw your post. I've been introverted most of my life, so I only have a few close friends from grade school. It also doesn't help that I am in a solo role at work.

What a great question.

 

 

I suggest any place that enriches you. If you enjoy church, a fitness class, an art class etc then by all means join because you will find some like minded people. Always a great place to start. You could also augment that by passively doing nice little gestures for people if you're shy or an introvert- for example bake your neighbor some cookies and drop them at their door or offer a hand with them moving etc.

 

 

I wish you the best of luck! xx

Service organizations like the Elks, the Moose, the Lions, the Knights of Columbus, the Kiwanis etc. are all great places to make friends & do good in your community.

 

 

Getting involved in groups that serve your industry / profession can also be a good place to meet like minded people.

 

 

Joining a sports team, pursuing a hobby & going to the events.

 

 

Volunteer to work on a political campaign

 

 

Alumni Associations offer connections too.

The OLD site I used to be on was a friendship site also, I attended several events and met some really great people, and made lots of new friends.
