Remind me, how does an adult make new friends in real life?

I've thought about approaching people like when I go on my outings solo but I'm sure people will think it's weird because, in this day and age, it's all about 'online'.

People would rather meet a stranger online than talk to another human who is also at the coffee shop, park, skating rink etc.

You know, I'm gonna try it one day soon and see how it goes.

You might not really welcome my answer, but I'll share mine:

Start online. I'm serious. There are lots of chatting websites, especially if you're learning a new language. Start by looking for language learners in your city near city. Start by writing to get to know the person, improving in your target language, etc. With time, days, weeks, or longer, move to Skype or WhatsApp depending on your level of comfort. Last step, when you feel friendship is also part of your language connection, offer to meet in person.
