[off topic] (good thing this isn't stack overflow)
2.5 years ago I moved 35 minutes north of all my friends for a job and only see them about once a year now. I have a wife, kid and a few clients so spending time meeting new people has become a disability.

I have a bar near me that does board games and DnD n shit. I thought I would be able to pop in, make a few friends and play a few games of cards against humanity or something.

Nope. Even though I knew I was the coolest guy in the place (I'm a musician and up til a year ago played bass in rock/metal/90s bands ) , couldn't bring myself to talk to anyone or try to play any of the games. I sat at the bar on my phone, like a nerd.

    Last year I moved around an hour from where my friends live. I still see them regularly, but I spend a lot of time driving(but not nearly as much as was driving back and forth to work). So far I've managed to get a party together at my place once because everyone's too busy and I now live in "Timbuktu".

    On the other hand I like living in town, in an apartment, where the internet is good and there isn't any yard work to be done.

    For situations like this I'd take a page out of the Teen Handbook, edition 2012, and just YOLO it.

    Even if you make a complete fool out of yourself you'll get a good story out of it.
