I used to go to shows all the time and made some great friends in the music "scene." Also a lot of very good friends were made at most of the places I've worked over the years. Beyond that most new friends are a result of forced interactions due to having a child. Kid parties, pta, etc.

I need to know as well. Married and lonely, need new friends.

Be cool.

My city has a burgeoning bocce scene. Low commitment at once a week, involves beer and anyone can play. Very easy to meet new people there.

Do you think agencies will eventually require employees to come back into the office full time? Now that I’ve experienced the benefits of WFH, I can’t imagine commuting 5 days a week, paying for a dog walker, waking up earlier, buying lunches again, having to get ready every morning, etc. I do miss some aspects of the office, so ideally would do a couple days in and the rest WFH but worried I’ll eventually be forced to go back full time. Any thoughts/predictions?
