Answer 1

Check out this website for the 10 best ways to meet new people. Many of them you have already tried, but I think you will find a few new ideas there:

In addition, have a look at this website for ideas about improving your "Meet People Techniques". There you can read about issues like body language, flirting, giving non-verbal invitations, etc:

Remember that Meeting People is a skill. Like any skill it takes practice, practice, practice to perfect. The internet is a great facilitator, but you need to hone down your technique on how to give the right impression when you meet new people. That second website should help.

Answer 2

Have you thought about volunteering. I have done some volunteering and have met some really loveley people that I wouldnt necessarily have met or made friends with otherwise. I have learnt loads from them and had lots of fun. People who volunteer tend to be very giving and patient and kind people. (Else they wouldnt be giving their time freely) Why not try it? I have found it is much easier to make friends this way, rather than, like tyou say going to a club on your own. If that doesnt inerest you what about joining a team sports club, rather than a sport where you are generally on your own? (Cant recomment volunteering highly enough)

Answer 3

How about volunteering to help people? Your council might have a list of charities that need volunteers. You often find that the people who do such work for nothing are very nice, genuine people who make good friends.

Working for a few hours at a charity shop or being a mentor for a young person will bring you into contact with people of your own age and is likely to lead to friendships.

Good luck.
