Join groups you're interested in, such as sports classes, etc, you'll meet people who have the same interests as you. Once you make a few friends, ask them to introduce you to more of theirs. Also recreational things, like going out if that's what you enjoy, you're bound to meet people! Good luck!

I very much enjoyed this answer
If you have very specific interests and there are groups in your area that cover those interests I would say that's the best place to start. That way you make friends with people that like what you like.0 -

I moved to a new city last year and was working on making new friends. It helps to join a gym and take classes that interest you. You'll have to step out of your box to talk to others but it helps. I also spend less time in my apartment and using groupon to try new things. I also met a real life friend on MFP when we found out we live a mile or so from each other : )0

Looking for friends mostly to just hangout with. Fitness friends would be a plus also.What kind of friends are you looking for?0

you could look for different types of activity clubs and join one. e.g. hiking, biking, skiing. find something your interested in and see if there are any local to you. you get to meet some really cool people and get some health benefits too.0

Yup, I'd third that. I moved to a new country and have found a great group of folks through monthly boardgames at a cafe. I also joined a choir but that was a bit of a write-off as most of the folk there are old and we don't actually get time to socialise during rehersals.0 -

Walk down an area you frequent. Open your mouth and say "hello" to the people you pass.

Im not sure I understand the question. You want to make friends? Why not just live your life and talk to people along the way?0

I really want to type in cuddleparty.com and see what it is..... hm...
It's tough to make friends as an adult. Do you have kids? They're often an ice breaker, even though I do not fit in with the track suit wearing snooty park park moms because........... I don't.0 -

Is "real life" the negative space around my computer?
I don't like it. It's loud and sticky.0 -
Join a gym, the group exercise classes at my gym have a pretty awesome community feel and will sometimes meet up for group lunches.
Find club sports and sign up, many you don't have to have a team you can sign up and be assigned to a team or just show up and someone will pick you up when if their low on participants.
Find a hobby club for your interests.
Depending on the company you work with, get involved in their activities (mine has volunteer opportunites and various leadership committees you can join).
If you are a member of a professional organization attend their workshops and social gatherings in your area.
If you are a young professional most cities have non-descript associations for young professionals.
If you're just starting a job, be available to go out to happy hour with co-workers (just be careful how much you drink and how loose lipped you get when you drink)
Finding something that automatically grounds you in common interestes at least help to begin the conversation, you already have a common talking point.0 -
you can always type your area on here in the search tab for looking for friends an you can add them on here since they have goals to be healthy too an you guys can meet up an stuff...that is what i did.0
