What's your best tip for finding friends?


Try your college alumni, work colleagues, church acquaintances, gym members, neighbors etc are more likely candidates for friendships.

OP- do you work in person? That's where I've met most of my friends. You could also try school alumni events.

May I ask where you go social dancing by yourself?


A friend goes to 618 Whiskey for salsa on Fridays

I like a particular kind of music, so I go to shows and eventually started to see all the same people and talked to them and became music friends.

You must be a naturally friendly and out-going person.

If you meet someone while you are out alone, good for you. I have much better luck as a woman meeting interesting and interested men while I am out alone.
