I’m looking to make new friends in a new city! I’m a female in my early 20s and I’m finding it difficult to find community settings for women to make friends.
I reached out to someone once to see if they wanted to hang out and after a couple times nothing more came of it. We see each other in public occasionally and just acknowledge each other but nothing more. Would it be weird to reach out again? Would it make these public settings awkward for her?
All and any answers/advice appreciated!

I did a lot to make friends, way more then most people. I ran a meetup group with over 400 members at one point. I had many social circles but what worked best for me was meeting people doing things I enjoyed.
Almost all my friendships dried up (by choice), but I’ve had significantly more fun pursing hobbies I enjoyed and tried things I’ve always wanted to pursue. I’d joined classes and met people through class.
Keep in mind it takes time, to build the friendship up.
The friendships I’ve made through hobbies have been significantly healthier and more fun since we have more things in common.
This is exactly my mindset too! That’s why I approached someone I thought had similar hobbies. I just worry about making it awkward for others if the friend ship has “dried up.” Thanks for the reply!
