Making friends

Posted by capturedanimator@reddit | miltonkeynes | View on Reddit | 43 comments

Hey guys, I just finished my university in a different city, and I moved to live with my family in Milton Keynes now. However, I don't really know how to make friends here. I don't really drink or party a lot, I'm just a 23 year old guy who likes walking around (like usually 8 miles daily), playing video games and reading books. Know anything I can do here to make some friends? Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.

Thanks for reading my post!

You'd be very welcome to learn to scuba dive. There's even weekly diving at the Blue Lagoon

There’s lots of tech related events happening in Milton Keynes soon with MK Tech Week. There’s a really strong creative and tech community in the city, all of which can be discovered on protospace.uk

If you have time check out the Milton Keynes library, I know they host some groups. I went to a board game group there a few times. Maybe they do more, worth a look I think. Wish you all the best, it can be tough making new friends and meeting new people but I’m sure you’ll find your people.
