honestly...all of my friends are either A) I knew you since HS or before or B) I knew you in college...undergrad or grad school

I have "work friends" but it really doesn't go beyond that at all....we just chill at work. And honestly, i'd prefer to keep it that way

I am still cool with the friends that I grew up with but I met a bunch more lifelong friends and college and at my jobs I have been in throughout my career.

I am married so my best friend is married and we met other married couples through him and I don't know you just meet people and passing and if you have any hobbies you meet them at those places

Through work

Can't just go to work and home every day

Exactly. I could easily play ball one weekend, meet a cool breh and like that we friends. It's really not that hard
I just made a friend with the mechanic a couple weeks ago, when he was doing a fuel system cleaner on my car

should be easy for a woman
for a man, asking for a dudes number will have him thinking you're gay probably

key is just to be sociable though

You don’t have to ask for anyone’s number tho as a dude, you can just ask for their Instagram. Most of my homies, I don’t have their number but we have each other’s Instagram and we send memes.

majority of grown people are on the internet nowadays creating blackpeoplemeet.com or tinder accounts..

the days of meeting people in the streets are numbered... do you really want to meet friends in the club scene?

the few people i did meet was from the GUN range but it's just how you doing and quick little talk and that's it.....

when it comes to women out in public it's way harder nowadays because they don't want to be bothered but want you to give them attention

• Social events

It is very hard to make friends as an adult. I don't think some people get this. Those who are still friends with people that were in the sandbox with are truly lucky people.

Does everybody just talk to people they meet in highschool or childhood? I don't know how adults make friends, it's so difficult. I plan on moving soon and I have to start all over. How does a adult make friends? Help me out

co-workers is the easy route..you might get 1 or 2 ppl you actually like..

other than that it's just doing shyt on your own for a while..joining a gym...going to events that you like and meeting ppl there

Most adults in this society are very untrusting of other people and set in their ways. I use to be all for being the lone wolf. However now as I am getting older I see that friends (the right friends) play an integral part in your life. I emphasize the "right" friends because if you have good people in your life it makes things so much easier. We are social creatures and I had to slowly come to grips with that.

I've been trying to figure that shyt out too. Its especially hard when you think everyone else in your peer group is corny.

Truth be told if that's the case you might not be as hot shyt as you think.

exactly.. especially since a lot of people have families and i have no problem with people meeting with co workers ONLY IF U NOT USING SOCIAL MEDIA ON A DAILY BASIS ON A PERSONAL LEVEL BECAUSE YOUR SO CALLED NEW FRIEND AT WORK COULD ONE DAY USE YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA AGAINST YOU..

Church is the only place you will meet people if u a church going type of guy
