How to make friends as an adult after college?
First of all, congrats on the new job! Now, the most important thing when meeting new people is to take the initiative to put yourself out there in situations where this is possible. No matter how outgoing you are, if you’re at home on the couch watching Netflix, nothing is going to happen. Being active, and finding hobbies and events that are social in nature will help you meet new people by sheer exposure. Finding common ground through interests and activities will then help you solidify the bond with new friends!

Many major cities will have places where people go to be social. This can be in bars, parks, at concerts, etc. It will be easier to actually engage with people there when you are already doing something together, like a common activity. For example, this can include joining yoga classes, dance classes, running clubs, book clubs, pickup soccer, etc.
How do I rizz up a girl I just met?
Most conversations start easily depending on the situation. If you are at a party, you can talk about the party. If you are at a concert or sports game, comment on the music or the game. If you are at a bar or museum, you can comment on the drinks or the art. Sounds like you're at a cafe, so you can strike up a conversation about the drinks.

Of course there are the usual conversation topics of where you are from, what do you do, etc. The next level would be what do you like to do for fun, passions, hobbies, etc. Places you have been, interests you want to pursue, skills to improve on, etc. There are so many topics, so conversation should feel easy. If you are shy, that’s ok, but the important thing is for the conversation to not be lopsided. One side can’t be feeling they are talking too much or too little, or asking all the questions or being asked all the questions.

Staying in touch is great, but usually it is better to have a specific intention when bringing up exchanging contact information. For example if you went to a pickup soccer game, you can suggest to stay in touch and let each other know next time you intend to play a game. Or if you went to a concert or museum meetup and you connected with someone, you can suggest meeting up again for those or similar activities, so there is an explicit purpose to exchanging contact info. Also if you are new to a city, you can just flat out say that you’re new here and looking to hang out doing a variety of things, and most people will understand the process of settling down and growing a social circle, or the wish to meet new people beyond your usual friends. Maybe in this case, you can ask to set up a study date.
