Times have changed, and that is a good thing—especially the fading-away of cruel taboos that once stigmatized women who engaged in premarital sex or bore children out of wedlock.

I can relate to you since I was in this exact situation a couple of months ago and don’t worry I’m also in your age group so yes, I know how hard it is to make new friends. The experience was miserable since I only have one friend, and he’s always with his SO, while I’m at home playing video games or reading online books. Here is what I did to get myself out of the rut. Eventually, once I feel a bit better 2 weeks later I would sign-up at a local recreation centre for fitness.

Then I would take time getting to know both the staffs and the customers who were at the recreation centre. Exercises and putting myself out there let me healed my loneliness to a certain degree. It was during this time that I met a girl whom I’m currently interested. She is in the same gym class as me and whenever I see her, I would make a small conversation. As of now, I’m having a blast hanging out with her, and both of us knew we will eventually enter into a romantic relationship.

The best part about this is that I never once needed my friend to make it all happened!!
