this is especially true in college, where there are innumerable student orgs centered on a common interest, but is also true of graduate life! my brother is 24 living in nashville & goes to run clubs, film clubs, and sports clubs to make friends :)

Clubs don’t end after high school and/or college. Join local clubs that match your interests. I joined a local rec center tennis team, snowboarding in the winter, go ride biking trails. A lot of my activities I go to solo but so do so many other people. I’ve met so many wonderful people this way. Just be open to meeting and talking to new people!
Also, volunteering! I know two friends personally who are in long-term relationships with people they met this way.
I haven’t been looking to date but you easily could meet your other half by being more involved in your community.

a coffee shop, running club, pottery class, karaoke night etc.
Whatever thing ur into. Go to places where you can do that thing regularly.
Eventally and usually pretty organically you will begin to make friends with people. People who you probably have alot in common with because you already have a shared interest. Yay!
I moved to a new state about a year ago knowing no one. I joined an improv class and now I have a whole network of people that I never expected to know. From that network you'll meet other people and so and so on.

ik it’s cliche to say but it’s the god’s honest truth. generally, people make friends because they share an activity. when you’re a kid, the activity is school, and for some adults the activity is work or parenting.
but if you aren’t interested in the friends available from those activities, you literally just have to go out and do things you already like with other people.
i like music, writing, and #gaming. to make friends of my own i just went to open mics, workshops, and local tournaments respectively. try to find equivalents for the events that you like and i guarantee it will not be long before homie candidates are lining up
