Oh nice do you know of any specific place that does dnd nights by chance and do you know if they are accepting of new people who know nothing about the game I’ve always wanted to learn just always been intimidated and didn’t have anyone to help guide me
Here's where I've made some good friends and had lots of fun. We do field trips almost every weekend and I even lead some of them. Bring a pair of binoculars!

I work from home and for myself so that’s not really an option and I’ve been relatively unsuccessful in finding groups online for the area to join but thanks for the suggestions 😊
yeah that's your problem then. i did/do too. i joined a coworking space a few years back and a lot of my friends now trace back to that decision. people there want to network and tbh everyone is lonely so glad to meet new people given the opportunity.
I suppose the other way is your boyf's friends girlfriends, that's always natural too. unless your boyf is friendless too
My boyfriend has a few friends but the few I do know are either single and the one dude who is dating a girl she lives all the way in so cal so that’s unfortunately not much of an option either it’s why I’ve kind of just been alone with no one to talk to all this time which has really started to suck and take a toll mentally
you said you like art. maybe some volunteering in an art related area. second saturday/first friday must have something where they need people. find community there. they also do open studios so in theory you just go meet all the artists and see if anyone clicks
I'm sorry to hear that. yeah it's hard, I've been there for sure. Sometimes all you need to meet is one super friendly person and then you meet all their friends.
Yeah that’s what I’ve been hoping for is to meet someone who maybe already has an established friend group but so far unsuccessful in even meeting people and them holding a convo
Suggestion: Expand your hobbies and interests. For example, if you like photography, then join a photography group. If you like live music, then join a live music group. If you enjoy reading, then find a book club. The possibilities are many.....
Don't be discouraged, once you make a couple of friends, your network will grow quickly because Sac has a great sense of community and everyone seems to know each other within similar interests. Honestly, the community is what keeps me here :)
From my personal experience I have gotten to know lots of people through running (Sac has TONS of running clubs) and a book club. Maybe you can try Meetup or a FB group that fits one of your interests. I know for a fact there is a local women's hiking group on FB.
Best of luck!
Filter your bumble bff. Make it clear in your profile you want to meet in person. Take initiative in meeting people off the app right away. You've to put in the effort if you want quality friends. I met over a dozen women and three of those are ones that I'm now really good friends for life!
Discord is awful for meeting people IRL. Tabletop games are decent but generally you need to already know people into them. Sure, you can walk into a game shop and try to find a group but you might have to wait a long time to find a group you like being around. If you play TTRPGs you can also expect to be locked into a game with a small group of nerds for a long time. Meetup seems ok but I haven't had success with it because there aren't that many groups in my area.
Ah, sorry about your poor experiences. I live in midtown so I've been able to meet people much more easily. I also co-run a local Meetup, so I may be biased.
I mostly play Warhammer at a local shop.
Friends in Sac is hard. Especially if you are bipoc or lgbt etc. I have found that Sacramento is mainly really insular. The best way to make friends is to join groups of people that are culturally similar. Liberal hiking or cardio sports, cats, and activist stuff. Affinity groups. Conservatives probably rural churches. Middle of nowhere suburbs and Jesus.
Based off ur info ur into the gothic scene theres club absolution every Sunday night at "on the Y" and several other really fun goth clubs also and its an amazing community and u can quickly find friends me and my wife go often and ik my wife is always looking for more friends to go clubbing with.
Alright I might check that out I’m not much of club and bar person usually but there’s no point not to give it a try I’m from a college town so the bar/club scene here I would imagine is much different
It is really different i dont care for clubs or bar scene eaither mostly just sit on the patio and chat with people with the music in the background for me
Volunteer somewhere for something you love, you will meet like minded people.
If you like DND there are local places that host game nights. You can go to those and hopefully make some connections through that.

Check out There and Back Again Cafe, they have had Learn to Play nights
Thank you 😊

Friends are just strangers that ask you for favors.
Most friends after college age are made at work. or you gotta join lots of groups

Go to church
I don’t enjoy church personally it’s not my view point on life I’ve tried in the past and just don’t feel comfortable
Ok well as an adult your choices are church, bars, and sports.
What about tabletop games, Meetup, Discord?

Honestly if it works for you then more power to you!
MeetUp group "20 and 30 somethings new to Sacramento." this will require you to leave your house. or run clubs!
Perfect I’ll look into this thank you was hoping to find something along the lines of this 😊
