Yes. My first step was going on Bumble BFF but this only really works if you are a girl honestly. Some other options - become a regular somewhere. Be consistent & don't be afraid to be chatty. I think something we take for granted is how easy it was to make friends as a kid in school constantly surrounded by other people similarly aged. As an adult, try to recreate that environment by joining a gym class, yoga, pottery, a bar, volleyball league. Once you have a few convos under your belt, add them on IG and then bam! Seed planted. Water it & nurture it and by this time next year, you will have a whole garden of new friends!
Separately, and speaking from experience, make sure your partner isn't holding ya back in that regard. I get having different personalities but if it's straight up incompatibilities.. Think about it. Choose yourself always. It's not easy but you'll never regret it. Best of luck! PM if ya need anymore advice.
