Making new Friends.

Why is it so hard to make new friends when your 30 something plus??

All I would like is the odd person to go to the cinema with once a month or another event and a catch up after/ before.
Or just to chat about the film/ theatre/ music etc.

It seems near on impossible.
Of course going alone is fine. But it's boring and kinda miserable at times..

Its hard. I joined hobbies and that fizzled out people left it. Find its hard pinning people to dates so I go alone. People flake too. Its hard agree

Is there anyone at your work you could make friends with?

Or a neighbour?

I think cause everyone's busy with family/kids etc.

Not really, small talk at work but happy to leave it at that. Plus everyone has partners and commitments.

Neighbours I rarely to even say hello to.
I thought maybe a learning course of hobby again next year.
