Finding new friends after college?

I had friends in high school. Unfortunately, many of them went to different colleges, and we seldom saw each other. We kind of grew apart.





I had some good friends that I stayed close after graduation. However, all but one has moved away. So, I basically have one good friend that I still hang out with, and a few that I talk to via the phone or facebook.





College was somewhat lonely for me; I never made any friends there as I commuted to campus rather than staying in the dorms.





What are some ways to make new friends?

Finding new friends after college?
most people drift apart from people they were friends with at school and college. I havent seen any of my old friends for years. You and your one good friend should go out to different places and make the effort to talk to people. Just simply say hello and ask people how they are. How about any family members? Once a month i go out with my cousin and we have a good laugh and talk to new people. Maybe think about phoning the few you keep in contact with and arrange a night out. If you all like it make it a once a month thing
Reply:This issue is actually a lot more common than you might think. Here are some good ways:


1. Attend local events for alumni from your college.


2. Find a social organization that works on some issue you care about (environment, politics, religion, science, sport, whatever) and participate in their events actively.


3. If you do belong to a religion, see if there is a youth group at your local house of worship


4. Volunteer for something you care about (soup kitchen, homeless shelter, hospital, etc)


5. Reconnect with any distant family you might not have kept in touch with


I'd say overall, to make real friendships, see if you can work on that outside of the online realm. You can't really hang out with or know enough about someone from Timbuktu no matter how great you get along online
Reply:I had friends when I was at college, even though I commuted. I would talk to them during lunch breaks, and I'm sure you would have had a chance to do this.

Reply:After I graduated from high school, I realized that I had nothing in common with my school friends, besides school. The same with college. It's hard to make friends after school is over. The friends I have now are people I just happened to meet on the train or in other public places. I feel these people were meant to be my friends. Unlike school or work where you're forced to interact, the street is a mysterious place. I also don't like talking to strangers, but we're still friends after more than five years. Meeting people in the street can be awkward for some people, so I suggest joining groups that specialize in your hobbies, that way you'll make friends that share your interests.
