you'll start to realize that not having friends is a good thing.

this is incredibly true.  i guess it might be ok to replace some non-friends with friends, but it doesn't work like that.  the friends get added on to the non-friends and then there's too many and you're mumped.

Social interaction from time to time. Expanding my network to meet other people and possibly a potential special lady friend. People to try restaurants with.

Basically stop being a couch sloth

Ideas:

Join a church/temple, and get involved in their various activities. good idea!

Volunteer someplace where lots of other people do as well. you can meet people who "give back"! not just booze hounds

Join an athletic activity club.  Like a jogging or hiking club. sounds strenuous but it could work

Join a 12 step program.  Meet loads of people that way. if you made 1 friend per step that's 12. Jesus had 12 disciples. 12 is PLENTY of friends!  :Woohoo:

Go back to school and get another degree. veto. too much of school is online in most fields. it would have to be v specific

Get a part time job doing something fun/hip.  Coffee shop, bar, record store, Cirillas, etc plus a little extra $

Join a men's league at a local golf course i don't golf but i guess it could be cool. or bowling league, etc

Attempt to actually talk to your neighbors i love chit chatting neighbors. its great.

Pete once again hits the nail on the head! i added my own commentary bolded for your pleasure

Try a more flexible variety.  Might be to your liking.

The crossfit box was a very good idea.  I take a yoga class at the one near me and all those ppl are nice AF.  I mean, they all keep asking me when I am going to join, but still, even when I tell them I am not joining, nice AF.

Also, the volunteer thing from Mich was good.  Maybe join lions club, or rotary or something.

Crossfit may actually satisfy the "more flexible variety" idea.  Its close to a religion for them, but not in a your going to hell way.

So do you not drink at all, or just not very much? Would meeting up at kc bier Co for a beer be out of your comfort zone?  This is pretty much all I do w my friends.

an improv class could be fun. It could also be a nightmare.

Either way you end up with good stories!

I guess.  But I'm saying just start doing open mics.  I think you'd fit in well with those people, who also probably need friends.  Hours would probably work well too.
