There are swing and line dancing groups around here that are good for people just looking to have a platonic social circle that enjoy getting out and dancing. And at least one bar has a great book club (Hold Fast Brewery). You mentioned back in your country, I don't know where you're from originally but there are several international groups around here. GrupoLatinoAmericano does a lot of social events if you're from a Latin American country (or if you're not and you just want to learn more about them). Also meetup is a good website for looking for friends. I joined a meetup hiking group when I moved back into town after school. Met some cool people that way.

also, welcome to Springfield! :)

Thank you for all the recommendations! I'll definitely check them out. I installed meet up just today and hoping to get somewhere with it. I'm from southeast asia but currently trying to learn Spanish. Would be nice to check out the Latino social events too.

That’s awesome. Funnily enough I started learning Spanish, myself, because of the friends I’ve made at a local Mexican restaurant I love going to. How’s it going?
