I introduce 1-3 people at a time to an existing social circle. By introducing new people 1-3 at a time, you don't disrupt the original social circle enough for them to get pissed at you... but you help them get exposed to the other side of you. Keegan,

I thought about the times when I felt like I really connected with many people and felt motivated afterward. It was always group meetings for 2-3 hours at a time. Factor in time management, and there really is no reason not to make this a lifestyle choice. Of course, that's not to say a few special people are not worth extra minutes.

Added benefit here is that I find more people more active in many ways. Let's put it this way more Americans really know how to continue their whole life playing than most European's. Kelly

I wish that was different. I'm making extra effort this weekend - I am going to a Lunch Club event on Friday and a dinner club group on Saturday where I will meet new people. Hopefully they'll be good ones! That’s true, actually – most of my European friends here say they make more close friends in situations that in the US tend to result in just superficial friendships.

Don't forget a lot of people work a lot and when you are finally off it's nice to be with the people you like and not all the time seek new friends/people. Coming from europe, culturally it's different here as most seem to have a lot of people they call friends that I back home would call superficial friends. Don't get me wrong this is not a us bashing as I love it here, but there seem to be a tendency to wanting something new all the time. If your own circle of friends don't seem want to meet more people and you do, try places like Meetup as you there can meet people of similar interest and maybe that way expand your circle. Kelly

Why is it so hard for adults to make new friends? Every time I try to get groups of people together, someone always bails at the last moment, I think honestly just because they don't want to go through the perceived "pressure" of not knowing people and having to make friends. Then I'll get a call the next day from the person asking to hang out one-on-one. Plus, when I'm the odd man out and go to a group of friends-of-friends to meet new people, everyone is very polite but I get the distinct vibe that they would be more comfortable if it was just the people they already knew very well, and it gets discouraging.

Is it so hard to make friends as an adult?
