Reply to comment by ScreenAlone in (M 22) Looking to make some friends to go out with on the weekends. by ryann_flood

Hey dude thanks so much for your comment. Yea it is hard, I have made friends through the leagues we've joined but it's just like you said where it's impossible to get them to do something on the weekends. I will keep trying I definitely think a book club or something like that will be nice most of them that I've seen lately are on zoom though which is fine but I'm looking to do things in person rather than online. I'll keep looking for book groups though because that sounds really fun.

I actually had a harder time making friends in college (I graduated last spring) so I'm really going all out to make friends now that the group I defaulted to in college isn't in Baltimore anymore.

Going to a concert sounds like fun I really appreciate the offer! I like most music so if there is something that your interested in going to see I would gladly come. Thanks so much for the advice, same as you I really miss having things to do on the weekends and going out drinking, so hopefully I'll find a group who wants to do something.

sounds good! let me look for some shows and I'll get back to you. For book clubs and stuff, join some different neighborhood facebook groups and search the posts in there for "book club" and you'll see a bunch. Here's one in Canton. https://www.facebook.com/groups/2057227774499294/ that reads books on the NY best seller list and meets for beers to discuss. And then the Baltimore Social Issue's Book club is pretty active as well and reads a lot of Baltimore focused books (i think). https://www.facebook.com/groups/2905597476423634/

Another option I forgot about....I don't know what your schedule is like but if you can swing a part time gig at a bar or restaurant, you'll make life long friends in about .5 seconds ha. I still have friends now from places I worked at 12 years ago. And never hurts to make a little extra money on the side.
