As I venture through this thing we call life, I'm finding my friend count is quickly diminishing. Many are getting married, starting families, some are moving away and some are making bad life choices. Having or making friends was NEVER on my mind as I had many and combined we had a social circle that extended very far. But times are changing and as a single man I'm finding it harder to find a buddy to spend time with. Not to mention women aren't as resourceful as they used to be. Add Covid to the mix and it's a recipe for loneliness, though it's not an extreme case since a friend or 2 can break free from time to time to grab a beer somewhere. But mainly weekends are either spent at home doing home improvement stuff or hitting up a local sports bar solo to catch a game.
I'm hesitant to open up to other dudes around me when I'm out. Mainly because of this dude I met at a sports bar when I lived in another city. He was a social butterfly and he made every effort to get to know me. I thought without a doubt this guy was gay. Turns out he wasn't but he was a bit of a weirdo and a loner himself. Last thing I want to come off as is like him.
I'm thinking I just need to be more patient until this Covid thing passes and then hit up some meetups or something. Any other tips are welcome.
