It takes about a year to build a social network. You have to find things to be regulars at - a bar, a volunteer organization, a concert series, a coffee shop - whatever. Something near your home or your work. You show up all the time. Constantly be around. Casually get to know other regulars and expand from there. Building a network here takes time and effort. That you have no friends after a month is not surprising or abnormal." Don't be alarmed if you don't automatically click with people. Building friendships in NYC takes a little bit more time and effort than in other places. Keep at it. Becoming a regular is key to success. When I first set out to make friends as an adult, I had a set day for socializing. This helped me nurture the relationships I had created the week before. Don't be afraid to reach out.

If it's possible, try to go to the first three hang outs your new friend(s) invite you to. If you can't make an event, try to find something else you can do together. Early friendships need encouragement and affirmation if you want them to survive. Any other tips? Time and patience is key. Making friends as an adult is a lot harder than when we were in school.

This can be anything - a coffee shop, a bar, a book club, a volunteer org, a board game meetup, a magic store - just a place where you go regularly to socialize. It takes time. But it works."
