How does a 29 year old make new friends?

If you have the answer, please let me know. And don't tell me to get a puppy or have a baby...I want my friends to be friends because of me...not because of something I have or did.

Sometimes I hate being the way I am.

do you have time for a club (book, etc)? you can meet some great people there.

I can't speak for getting a puppy, but I think sometimes having a baby makes it even worse. You know I adore J and all, but sometimes I feel like the only thing I ever have to talk about is her. Which, of course, alienates me from all of my single or married-with-no-kids coworkers.

Classmates is all I can think of. That helped in college. Not so much now that I'm not IN any classes, though...

Volunteering in your community might be one way...not that you have tons of time on your hands at this point, but it's an option. But in the grand scheme of things it's important to remember that no amount of new friends is going to make you feel better about yourself.
