When moving to a new city where you know no one, how do you go about meeting people and making new friends?

I moved from Boston to LA, a city made up of a million transplants. I do weight watchers so I actually met young people my age there, who introduced to their friends, and then they introduced me to their friends (the cycle continues). Also made new friends at work.

My coworker also moved across country to be here, and he’s made a ton of new friends through CrossFit. So I think finding an activity to do in your free time opens up a lot of potential for making new friends. And it doesn’t have to just be health/fitness. I know LA has meetups and comic book stores always have events and board game tournaments and stuff. There’s a ton to do, you just have to be open to trying it.
