How do you find a good friend group?

Question

nolabels · Accepted Answer

I've been trying to find a new fishing partner for several years. I had to drop my last partner for... reasons. Finding a fishing partner is not an easy thing to do.

I've been able to find friends in other areas of interest by joining clubs that engage in particular activities.

Community postings can steer you to card-playing or game playing groups.

I'm in with a group of people who build cigar box guitars. I found it online and discovered that there is a local chapter in my area.

If you're talking about finding a group of friends to just hang out with, I'm afraid I wouldn't know what to tell you. I'm way past that stage of my life.

If you're not involved with any type of community groups, about the only thing left that I could think of is to keep your head on a swivel when you're in public, looking out for anyone that seems interesting to you or who seems to have something in common with you, then approach them in a friendly and assertive manner, be honest and say you're looking to meet people.

I wish you the best!

This is such a great question. The first component is time. It takes time to nurture the one friend. But the one friend can be the genesis for other friends. A lot of friend groups start at school, church, work. But I've also had one begin at a coffee shop. But there has to be a place or something that physically connects the friends to begin with.

Unless it's a picnic on GaG, but that's another question.

Not easy to find a good friend group the reason is you can't always control how people act you can only control your reactions to what happens around you by this I mean you might see people as good but as time passes their true colours may start to show, you need to watch out for toxic behaviour in people for example if they make a mistake and hurt you instead of apologising and being self aware they try guilt trip you and invalidate your feelings. You can meet people through mutual friends, library, work, uni but you need to get to know people well enough to actually see if their good or not , making friends is easy but making good friends is not.

Eventually, you'll meet someone or people with mutual interests.

My husband & I, for example, would intentionally part ways before starting our rounds of golf. We'd ask the starter to pair each of us with different players to see how well we fair playing with others. Throughout 4-5 hours of playing 18 holes of golf, friendships get established. Afterwards, my husband & I would mix our new-found friends together in the clubhouse where we all plan to play altogether next time.

We do the same thing when we ride our bikes, drive our motorcycles, participate in running events, etc.

I'm still trying to figure that one out, but meeting people you think are interesting help because that makes every conversation easier. As for "good", you have to spend time with them and see if they behave or have traits you would look for in a friend.

You start by becoming one. You cannot expect to find one unless you are one. Many people don't have the privilege to test other people. They must become the part and then find what they want.

It’s hard now I feel like bc people don’t connect like before but just try and find people that like the same stuff u like (not everything) just common little things like maybe they enjoy this type of movie over that and it will open doors

It's easier to build a new group yourself. Find a good friend and slowly try and add new people who seem nice and interested in hanging out. There's no exact way to do it, it just kinda happens.

Simply by meeting people. Go somewhere you like and meet likeminded people. It'll start with one person, then you'll meet their friends or you let two of your friends meet and create a group that way.
