Strike up a conversation after Vinyasa flow and invite someone out for a matcha latte. Finding like-minded people who enjoy the same activities and interests that you do is a great way to start. Or become a regular at a workout or yoga class. Join a local book club or gardening club (man that makes me sound old) or newcomers group for your town/neighborhood. Based on my experience and countless conversations with my blog readers about this topic, here are my tips. Over the last few years, I’ve made a really solid group of core girlfriends, something I never imagined would happen to me once I moved to the ‘burbs.


Everything in my life had changed and phone calls weren’t cutting it.īut making good friends as an adult (especially in a new place) is hard. When I quit my job to work for myself and moved to the suburbs, it got really dicey there for a while. My financial priorities shifted from mid-week martinis to retinol and face masks.Īs a natural introvert, I had trouble making new friends outside of work. My priorities shifted from socializing with friends to spending time with my husband and growing my family and hustling for work. We all got jobs and got busy and eventually started moving in with partners and out of the one-bedroom apartments shared with 2 roommates. They were always nearby when I need to chat or cry or laugh or study or have a few cocktails (out of red solo cups, of course).īut then we graduated and dispersed around the country. I lived with many of my best friends and saw them constantly, daily. In my college days, I was surrounded by friends and classmates all day every day so friendships were easy to maintain. When I moved to New York City in my early 20’s, I expected my life to look a lot like Sex & The City… and it definitely did not. But in reality, groups of women like this aren’t as omnipresent as the rom-coms might lead us to believe.
