@man4you1981 you can meet them anywhere .. even here on this website/application. start talking and start noticing the people who are willing to be there for you .. appreciate their presence and efforts ... 8 years i ago i met a group when i moved to different city ... today we are best friends ...
i would recommend you to ask yourself ... why you need friends ( what are those empty spaces in your life that you want to be filled -> write the answers on a piece of paper and start working on them "targeting one problem at a time")
go for a morning walk ( without phone and blue-tooth headsets ) .. look around ... see other people walking .. ( reduce screen time and you will see that there exists a world outside your phone/tablet/laptop/desktop etc etc )
