I’m in a weird state where at 30 years old we (together with my wife) lost our whole social circle and had to start anew. It’s hard. What I realized that many people who are 30+ already have their social group they’re content with and are not interested in expanding it, at least not initially.

What we tried to do was basically inviting all our neighbors over, always being nice without trying too hard. At first some would not even say hello back. After a while we developed relationships that are not very deep yet, but we’re getting somewhere. It takes time, a lot of time.

What I would suggest is that you try many different people (neighbors, fellow parents from school, work colleagues) if one relationship doesn’t pan out. Eventually you’ll find someone with whom you will “click”. For me the best relationships I got was with the former work colleagues, we just kept in touch and hanged out after work.
