Disclaimer: This post doesn't teach you how to make new friends.
Initially its not really easy to make yourself comfortable with the thought that you are going to be thirty, but what other choice do you have? and the answer is none.
you are going to age, year after year. No one has stopped it, and no one can.
What I found interesting is you keep loosing your friends as you age. So, as you might have guessed it by now from this post is that I am in my thirties and trying to make new friends. Not that I had a gang during my college days. I was friend with everyone on the campus, and sometimes I think that was my mistake. I should have been into a group. I have seen that groups usually stays together but on the other hand there is much more shit to deal with in the group. When you are happy go lucky kind of person you usually did not get invited to any party or festivity or you get a general invitation to all of them, but that is not the case with groups. You decide what you want to do and that is done, you invite people over and celebrate and enjoy.
So coming back to the topic. I am looking to make new friends. First question people asked, when I told them about my intention, "where are you going to meet them?". It came as a bouncer as I was not sure and never thought about it, then I started thinking about where can I meet new people? Someone suggested Bar/Pub, one said try recreational events, other said try meetups. I settled with few, after thinking for almost a year thought of trying tinder, bumble and meetup. I thought its waste of money and time also to go to bar, have a drink try find a person who is also alone and interested in chatting with you. Too many variables involved.
So I have finally installed the apps and created account on meetup website.
Lets see what future hold for me.
