I’m in my early 40s and joined a women’s only gym and have made lots of new acquaintances, one actual new friend, and a couple more in the works.

The advice to join a club or get involved in a group hobby has never really worked for me before, but I guess it’s not completely impossible.

The key thing in forming friendships is to encounter the person by accident. Making plans each time kills the bonding magic; you have to bump into them.

This is why regular presence in a social space is key. You need to have people you encounter without having specifically planned to see them.

I don’t know why this is, but it’s true.
