I’ve lived in the city for about 9 years now, and gone through different phase of life (early 20s - early 30s / relationship - single / transitioning from school to real job / etc) and I’ve always found it pretty easy to make friends. For what it’s worth I am pretty introverted but I WFH so am able to be ‘on’ for a few hours in the evening/weekend. There are a lot of different activities to do in the city so if you have a hobby you enjoy, a sport you like to play, or even a sport you just like to watch there are going to be people to connect with. I have found general success just going out and doing stuff I like. Usually I’ll end up seeing the same people and somehow we manage to adopt each other as friends. It can definitely be hard coming in knowing absolutely no one but if you are generally friendly and open to trying new things you hopefully won’t have a problem! That said if you want to connect when you move to the city I would be down to meet up!

It is but I've also done it on a few other occasions so I'm not super intimidated by that. And thank you for the offer! I'm still in the researching phase but my lease is up this summer so by then I'll know if I'm going to pull the trigger. I'll also be in the area fairly soon to scout places out and I'd love to meet up!
