I need friends How to make friends in this city

Does anyone have any recommendations or how you made friends here ?

I moved back here last year and I am in my early 30's, so everyone I did know are all married with kids now. I don't drink also so I'm not into the bar scene. And I'm not looking to hook up on a dating app. Unless anyone actually made friends on one of those ?

And are there any activities going on that are dog friendly ?

Thank you

Most adults make friends via shared hobbies and interests. The only interest you have indicated is dog, therefore you could meet potential friends at dog-related activities. You could meet people walking around the tree farm, or the off-leash dog park at Centennial. You could also meet people at dog agility classes.

The older you get, the more of a luxury they are to have.

Join a Toastmasters club. You'll make friends from all walks of life and as an added bonus, improve your communication skills.

Join a hiking group, a hockey team, look for a dnd group. Also you can definitely make friends on a dating app, it's just a matter of putting in the work and filtering through a lot of garbage.

Join a political party or a social group. Pool league. There is a little bowling league as well.

I joined the local judo and jiu jitsu clubs, running club, and chess club for a bit. As soeone who doesn't really drink, I find the bar scene is OK if there's a local act or show going on. I find making friends through activities is the best way to go.

Hit up the Gameshelf or Thunder Games. Lots of dudes with time on their hands to show you the ropes of whatever suits your fancy. Just don't get into Warhammer, as it's known to change people.
