I just moved to a new city and don't know anyone, so I join this group called socialone, they are only in a few location but they organize several events each week so you can usually find a time that works for you.

 

Try and find something like that in your area. Another good thing to do is join a workout class at your local gym. That way you get several weeks to get to know some people.

Well you could try going to a small bar, big ones you tend to find friends who don't REALLY want to be friends, or perhaps join a club, book, drawing, ect. If you like sports definitely go to a football or baseball game, fans always get along with other fans.

I only have one good friend from high school. Otherwise people I knew in high school or college were acquaintances. I even tried to create a friendship with some but none reciprocated back. It's hard finding decent people that's for sure.

I'm in the NYC/NJ area but never heard of that one. I looked it up and was kind of bummed to see it's a pay service. Think I'd rather just try to meet new people in public places.
