Where to Find New Friends as an Adult

Don't. The counterintuitive option! Instead of focusing on making entirely new friends, think of any older friends that might be worth reconnecting with first.

On the Internet. SO many of my best friends are girls I met online. Facebook groups can be great for finding some likeminded gals right off the bat.

At Work. Get to know your office! While some folks might feel competitive or uncomfortable being too friendly with the folks at work, it CAN be a great space to get to know people on a deeper level (where appropriate, obviously) and create good friendships.

At After-Work Activities. If buddying up while on the clock feels uncomfortable, try signing up for after-work activities – or initiate them yourself if your workplace isn’t the most proactive type!

At the Gym. Specifically, at your favorite workout class, or something that you’ll be hitting up at least semi-regularly from here on out. You’ve already got the shared enjoyment of the activity, so if it’s also a regular class, that’s great for expanding upon.

At the Bar (or Coffeeshop). Go out and start a conversation with someone! You'll want to get contact info, so it’s important to have enough of a good, substational convo that by the end, it’s not weird to ask to exchange numbers, say you’d like to be friends and hang out, and go from there.
