How to make friends in your mid twenties?

Throughout childhood, high school, and even college I had a really tight nit group of friends. Several different tight nit groups of friends actually. And over time I seem to have lost them all. Some friends moved away for college, some moved off in a different direction I didn't wish to follow and most recently I've moved about 45 minutes away from the majority of my remaining friends with my girlfriend. After I moved it just seemed like people slowly stopped talking to me even though I was more than willing to make the drive out to them the majority of the time if not all the time. So now I'm left wondering if I should go out and try to meet new friends or just attempt to reestablish contact with the old ones. A part of me is worried that some of my old friends didn't mind losing contact with me. So how does a 25 yr old guy who's out of college meet new friends?

    How does a 40 year old meet new friends?

    It doesn't have to do so much with what age you are. You need to put yourself into contexts where you naturally meet new people. Join a local sport team, join an evening class in something you are interested in. Get a local part time job. All of these things will put you into situations where you meet people. And sooner or later you will find friends amongst them. At the same time, keep in touch with you old friends, loosely, and when there is opportunity to meet up with them, do that.

    Good luck!
