Avoid letting the good ones get away. Get the contact information of anyone that interests you and stay in touch. You might have to be the one that steps up and says, “Hey, want to have a phone call on Thursday?” It can be hard to find a potential friend, so keep in touch with the best possibilities.
try to create relationships that involve face-to-face contact in real life, or that could involve face-to-face contact when it is safe to do so. A strictly online relationship isn’t the same thing (as we have found over the past year), but can be nice, too, and may be your best option right now.
If you’re feeling lonely, take solace that many others feel the same way. There are enough others in the world who are feeling the same way - you just have to find them! You have to be committed to trying some new things.
Be kind, show genuine interest in others, and meet as many people as you can.
