[quote=Anonymous]I'm someone who went from having no local friends in my 40s to a varied group of friends. It took about 2 years of looking a building friendships as a parttime job (or unpaid internship). I started making friends after I got divorced, and I think my spouse was a big block while I was married. She was socially fine/not awkward but not really interested in meeting people, very picky. I think to make friends in mid-life you need to be able to try a lot of things that don't work before you try something that does. I see many people who are just not persistent enough "oh, I reached out to someone this month for coffee and she declined, so I'm done." Every week, you need to be inviting people or putting yourself in places where you are meeting people. [/quote]
