Even though this post is quite old. I'm bored and just in the mood to type while before I start back on my next work project. Finding online friends can be quite nice. Most of the time I've made online friends it's been in online games. I used to have an xbox one and on there by playing games I was pretty good at I managed to impress some people and they start chatting, we over time friended one another and started party chatting all the time while playing multiple other games. Now that I don't have an xbox it's similar with the pc. I've met a few people in MMO's and they seem alright so far. Just be active. It can be difficult to be active the more you get into adulthood. If you've ever seen the graph for how to survive college it's a lot like that. it's easy to keep up with studies and work, but if you throw in a social life it's difficult. If you socialize and study, it's hard to work and if you socialize and work, you don't study. There just isn't enough time in the day. But I'd like to make some new friends sometime. I always try to find someone to chat with after I'm done with a project.
Well good luck.
