Also wanted to add in developed countries (and by corollary, big cities) it is very hard to make friends once you are an adult. When I lived in Vietnam it is 10x easier to date/make friends/get involved in the local community (vs NYC,LA or SF)
Did you ever figure out a way to do so as an adult? Maybe meetup.com / local interest groups like cycling, tennis or board games?
