I'm still new here, so maybe there is already a thread on this, but how do you go about making new friends? Once you're finished school, and in the working world, how do you meet people & actually befriend them? I've been told to volunteer and meet people with similar interests (I end up doing all the work and resenting the "help" others are giving me), take a course (I'm there to learn), or join a group to exercise with (I don't exercise, except walking dogs). Other than placing a creepy ad on craiglist or hanging out in bars, how do you meet new people? I'd love to know.
