How to Make Friends in Washington, DC
Join a group that shares your hobby (Ex: DC Bike Party, Social Running clubs, Women who Opera, DC Astronomy Meetup, Open Mics, Improv Groups, Choir, Labyrinth Board Game Nights, meetup groups)
Attend intimate events conducive to meeting people (Ex: ex: candle-making class, a sound bath class, a cooking class, Volunteer and plant trees, trash clean up event, boutique fitness class, A Brewery tour)
Go to places where people are willing to mingle outside their social group (Ex: dive bars, embassy events after hours, outdoor movie nights, parks on weekends, trivia (join a random team), bingo (sit at a Shared table)
immerse yourself with the same people often (Ex: book clubs, movie clubs, social leagues lIke kickball, (there’s non-physical ones like trivia or cornhole), knitting circles, Dog parks)
Go to events alone it’s frightening at First, but really you will meet more people as a solo person than you would with a group of friends you already know.
