I think having places u go regularly is key. If u find a local bar and cafe and go there every couple of weeks and make a point to talk to people u will naturally starts to make friends. Team sports r good. If you are the intellectual type then a chess club is good. But friendships are just like pick up naturally 1 in 10 girls will find you attractive. Probably same thing with friends maybe 1 in 5 will end up being good long term friends.
So just like you have to keep approaching you have to keep offering the hand. Is the guy at the bar is a Knicks fan and there's a game coming up bring it up in conversation maybe u will end up going to the game. If somebody's into classic cars and there's a show coming to town or a TV show on it bring it to their attention. Basically you have to give a s*** about people and show them you give a s*** can't say I'm very good at this but I do have guy friends to take me to the dentist. And yeah unless it was a long term girlfriend I wouldn't rely on a woman for .much
