I’ll kind of kick this off with a common answer. Activities that you enjoy doing and finding where people are that do them.
Meaning, if you like to hike… check and see if there are any hiking areas, groups or meetups. Go check out the scene and see if you can strike up a conversation with someone.
I think it would be difficult to just walk into a random situation and expect to make friends. Then again, I’ve never tried that so maybe it could work 🤷🙂
The most important things are that they happen on a regular basis, at least biweekly, and that it’s possible to have a conversation while doing them or that there are at least enough breaks to have them. So, here’s a list of examples:
- Table top RPGs
- Fiber arts circle
- Hiking group
- Choir/music ensemble
- Ballroom/swing dancing
- Soup kitchen volunteer
- Shibari practice
- Martial arts
- Recreational team sports
- Community theater
- Fraternal organizations e.g. Elks, Kiwanis, etc
These are all great ideas! I’ll add that learning something new is a great way to bond with people
