Ideally something you can do with the same people every week so you get to know each other.

    Take a class in something random that interests you. Talk to the people in the class.

    Suggestions:

    • glass blowing
    • cooking
    • leather making working
    • pottery
    • painting
    • scuba diving

    Side bonus is maybe you discover a new hobby that brings you joy.

      Leather making sounds interesting. Take the hide, process it. Tanning? Not sure. Gruesome and a rewarding final result.

      The other ones sound reasonable, except the last. It seems like a big jump. Don’t get me wrong, scuba diving is fun. I’d say go for a lesson and see if you want to continue, it may not be for you. It can also get expensive.

          I’ve met a ton of friends scuba diving, that’s why I included it.

          Sure you can’t talk while you’re diving, but that makes the conversation between dives more interesting. Lots of people passionately comparing and talking about what they saw. You’re probably stuck on a boat together during your surface interval, so naturally you get to know people.

          Also sometimes it’s nice to just do an activity without people talking constantly.
