How to make friends in your 30s (or any age) In my early 20s, I used to complain to my husband all the time that I didn’t have any close female friends. And his reply was always the same. He told me I would make friends with the school mums when we had children.

Fast forward about ten years, and I have a few best friends and a wider friend group that I consider to be my close friends. And funnily enough, they aren’t other school mums. A few things you need to know before making friends: You will need to put yourself out there with an open mind (this is the most important step) It’s highly likely you will need to take the first step. So be ready to get out of your comfort zone. Making friends can be hard, regardless of your life stage Decide what you’d like to get out of your new friendships (social life, improved mental health, a few common interests, a larger group of friends) Ways to make friends at 30. Join a book club. A book club is a good way to make new relationships with people who also like reading. Plus you will likely broaden your knowledge through different authors and genres. Try a new coffee shop. Not only does a new coffee shop have a different vibe and a different menu (my favourite part!), but it will also have different people. And if trying a new coffee shop is not your thing, make some small talk with the barista and other staff at your current fave cafe. Did you know there is a scheme in Australia called the Chatty Cafe scheme? It aims to get people chatting to encourage social interactions within the community and build friendships. Nurture older relationships. One of the easiest ways to create a real friendship is to nurture your relationship with old friends. Is there anyone from your past you can reconnect with? Perhaps someone from primary school, high school, or even your first job. Join common interest Facebook groups. There is no shortage of Facebook groups, so you really do have your pick. And if you are a mum it really is the easiest way to connect with other mums with young children in your area. I’m personally a member of a local mums group, a few cleaning and organisation groups, blogging groups, and a craft group. Meeting people at library events. Libraries offer a number of events for a range of interests. From author talks to Lego club, book-themed quiz nights to craft tutorials, sign language storytime, to social media, and technology classes for beginners. Host a party or event. Host an event or party for some people you’d like to get to know better. After having my daughter I wanted to form closer relationships with my friends. So I decided to host a girl’s night. Since then we have become a lot closer. And now we meet up regularly in real life, not just through a social network app. Get to know your work colleagues. There are a lot of differing opinions on whether you should get to know your work colleagues. But in my opinion, anything that can make a workplace better is a good thing. You don’t need to go so far as catching up outside of work, but building relationships with the people you spend a lot of time with can pay off. Sometimes you need someone to cover for you, or need a little extra help. Building those relationships can really help with that. And who knows? You might make such great friends with people from work that you become lifelong friends. Reconnect with high school friends. If you’re in your early 30s, you might’ve had your 10-year high school reunion recently. And that is a great way to connect with people you haven’t seen in a long time. It’s interesting to learn where everyone went as a young adult and see how the different friend groups have changed. Meet like-minded people online. I have friends who have made lifelong international friends during their teenage years while playing video games. The bond that is created while working towards a similar goal (or mission) and working as a team can make for some true friends. Hobbies for women in their 30s. If creativity is more your style, consider hobbies like home decor projects, which allow you to spend time in a relaxing environment while also building connections over shared tastes. Taking a class is also a great way to start a new hobby and explore personal growth. You might enjoy joining a dance class, starting to learn to code, trying rock climbing, or learning a new language. And who knows—your hobby may even turn into a side hustle! Look after your physical health. Gyms, sporting clubs, and fitness groups are one of the best places to try new things and meet people. I know when we were younger, my husband took more than twice as long to do his workout. He spent most of his time catching up with the friends that he had made at the gym. Bring your pet. Why not help a man’s best friend also find a new best friend? The dog park is also a great place to meet great people with similar interests. And a great way to help your dog with their social anxiety. Get involved with your parent group. If you live in an area that facilitates a parent’s group, it’s a great way to meet other new parents that are also experiencing the same things as you. You already share a common interest, your newborn baby.
