so many hugs
I have found living in big cities to be more like living in close neighbourhoods, it takes so long to travel people tend to stay local
so stay local if you can, close to public transport or walking distance
or have weekly meet ups at a specific place , it has to be regular
suburbs it's much harder as people are car centric , try finding a place where people do activities,
I have a sports club close by, I might go there and join trivia nite, and even tho I'll be "the only guy in a tie" I know I'll fit in , just have a beer/wine and be friendly
