OK. First I'll say I'm 55. When I met
@Mrs. Haus I was in my 30's and the center of a social circle which had me throwing parties every other weekend. But I got tired of needing to steam clean my entire house once I was a home owner and not a renter. Amazing how that pared down the herd. In my 50's. I can say I think I honestly have one or two real friends. One I met through work and we've become like siblings over the years. The other I met through a pre-internet online chat community and he was the best man at my wedding.
As you age you'll find if you're like most of us, you might have acquaintances, but fewer and fewer real friends as you age.
I have 2 friends, and maybe an additional 10 acquaintances through things like my fantasy football league I'm in and a few old high school buddies I keep up with on social media.
But the easy answer to find some people with a common interest, Just figure out what locale you're in and if there are some others from here around you. Then offer to buy them a drink if they can tell you a story about Foler doing something stupid. That should lock in at least a few folks. Also, if more than 3 show up you can play the time honored "meeting people I know online" game called... Spot the fed!
