Location matters a lot. Larger cities where there's more job opportunities will usually attract a lot of people from smaller cities with less opportunities. Since these people are generally new to the area they are less likely to have established friend groups and will be looking for the same thing as you. This fosters an ideal environment to find new friends and even potential romantic partners. Once you're in a location where you have an ideal number of varied people without established relationships, you need to go to where they will be found. And you need to keep going there so people start to get to know you and trust you. He's some ideas on that: - Get roommates if possible. They will introduce you to others. Even consider going to the extreme of joining coliving spaces to maximize this. - Or rent Airbnbs where you're sharing a room in a place with others (for the same reason as above). - Join clubs or events that overlap with your interests through Meetup.com or mentioned on a local Reddit. Make sure you keep going to the same ones so people get to know you. - Work at a co-working space where you can run into others doing different things from you. This one has worked the best for me. - Use apps like Bumble that are meant for this. Believe it or not, Bumble isn't just for dating. - Finally, if all else fails, there's always bars and coffee shops. Some are more interesting than others. Try to strike up a conversation with others. Keep going to the same ones. Essentially go to places with the most people who aren't in established cliques of friends and make yourself visible to the same people as much as possible. Good luck!
