Honestly, it's hard as hell for adults to make new friends. It's hard as hell for most adults to even maintain the friendships they have, what with moving around and more formalized obligations like family.
In practice, you make them at work - and that's it, because that's the only place where you end up spending enough time with others to actually form meaningful social bonds. I've also made friends when I've been thrown into an atypical experience with a bunch of other people simultaneously - an incubator in South America, a long boat trip to somewhere remote. But just going about your normal life - eh, it hardly ever happens. Even when you put work into it by inviting people out to do something fun, most adults are busy enough that you just can't see them often enough for a real friendship to develop.
If you find a decent solution, come back and tell me what it is.
