Making Adult Friends in a New Place

In other words, follow up. When you make a connection with someone and exchange contact information, use it. Moving to a new place brings new experiences, and immersing yourself in something you've never done before – think that photography or knitting class you always wanted to take – can help you meet people with similar interests. The same goes for volunteering – find something you're passionate about and meet people who share that passion. Finally, if you're introverted, it can be uncomfortable reaching out to strangers, but you just have to do it sometimes. Say "yes" – whether it's to the girl at the gym who mentions wanting to try Crossfit or the guy at work who invites you to his friend's band's concert. You don't have to go it alone in your new place, so get out there and buddy up.
