    All my friends are talking babies. Married off and literally squeezing me in for coffee. I feel like if I say anything at all I sound jealous or bitter. id love to have other friends or even my own partner but I really wish this could happen outside of meet up groups or apps. god, I had hundreds of friends in school. :confused:

    How old are you if you don't mind me asking? Are you female? I know the feeling. I felt very lonely in my early 20s with everyone travelling and only one real close friend to meet up with. All I wanted to was to be out having fun but had no one to do it with

    It's hard to make friends in your early 20s. I know the feeling.
    Maybe join a group for yoga or football or tag rugby or something?

    Hi OP, I am 38 and most of my friends are married with kids also, are there any local groups or meetups that you can join?

    It's tough, I have been in the same situation when I was in my late 20s and ended up making a whole bunch of new friends via a discussion site I posted on (not this one!). Unfortunately new friends aren't going to come knocking on your door, you do have to make plans and try new things or at least start getting more proactive with the friends or acquaintances that you might not normally consider for 'going out', e.g. people you work with.

    There are many people in the same situation as you - I was at your age.

    Take up some hobbies and join some fun clubs.

    It paid off for me.. I'm not married to someone who I met in the club I joined, and half of my friends now are club or ex club members......

    And, I see those friends more often than my married school and college friends.
