Moving? How to Make Friends in a New City Quickly

So how do you make friends in a new city? These personal experiences will hopefully help you get started and find friendship success!

First, Get Comfortable With Yourself

Moving to a new city alone is an opportunity to get comfortable with yourself and get reacquainted with things that YOU love to do.

If you get an invitation to hang out, take it. Even if you aren’t sure if you want to go, it’s better to go and see.

Get To Know People Through Work

Chances are if there’s someone who is a friend with your friend, then you may have enough in common with them to be friends with them as well.

Ask Your Friends To Introduce You To People They May Know

It’s a great way to make friends in a new city that have the same interests as you!
