    Add in the fact exactly how does a 45 year old man go out and make friends? Because I just haven’t been able to do that. And I have tons of hobbies and love being out and around people. And unfortunately for me my closest friend died, and those connections are hard fo replace.

    And my kids are all grown and don’t want hang our with dad as much has they used to.

      If hobbies aren’t the way, how do you feel about animals? Just being out and walking a dog will acquaint you with people in your neighborhood, and those connections can turn into friendships. You don’t even have to own one, sign up for Rover and walk your neighbors’ dogs, then you profit AND make make a bunch of friends.
