There are a bunch of Facebook groups in the area that are very active depending on your situation. There’s an adventure/hiking one more for dating, a few hiking groups, some happy hour/event ones. I haven’t been to any of the events yet but it seems like they are usually busy.

I would check out facebook and see what kind of local groups there are you can join. That is how I made most of my friends when I moved here. I just got involved in as many things as I could.

Arizona Sports League has a ton of intramural sports teams that you can join as an individual and is a great way to make friends in Phoenix!

Same boat! 25 year old in Software engineering, I'm super active, study a lot (for fun). Just moved to Phoenix last month, happy to connect and send you links to events!

They have Facebook groups for all sorts of things like others have said.

Bumble has a feature that is just looking for friends - not sure how good it is, but maybe try that?

There are tons of professional networking groups too in the valley - I belong to a women in leadership one, and one specifically for insurance nerds.

Maybe take a night class at a community college for something that interests you like photography. Or there are lots of inter-mural type sports groups.

Follow your passions and find someone!

Yes I would suggest Bumble friends too! That is how I made all of my really good friends.
