How can my wife and I make new friends? (lemmy.world)

My wife and I are 31, no kids yet. We moved from a major city back to our home state and are struggling to make friends here.

We keep an eye on meetup postings and Facebook events, stuff like that, no luck. We went to a local board game night and it was all elderly people. Nothing wrong with that but not exactly what we’re looking for.

Where we lived before we attended a church we liked and met people there, but churches in our area are a lot different/more political than we’re used to.

I guess eventually we’ll have kids and meet other parents, but how do we make friends now at this stage in our lives?

I love D&D and she’s interested in trying it. This could be a good prospect.

Awesome! Let me know if you have any questions about DM'ing. I highly recommend Matt Colville's Running the Game series. You absolutely don't have to watch it all. If you watch the first three real episodes (Your first adventure, Your first session, and Running your first dungeon) you'll be set!
