For me, that’s always either been bars I drank in (years back now) or more recently, coffee shops and restaurants I eat in, friendly staff and chit chat with fellow customers has lead to good friends. Also - neighbours - but that can be a limited number! Oh yes, an old colleague made many good friends at various online arranged meet-ups - namely a whisky appreciation group - he found himself a large social circle beyond his professional circle that was most stimulating- so explore your interests, maybe chess club or gaming groups - something with social potential
