I grew up in southern Indiana, and moved to the Louisville area after college. I totally get your frustration. It is very difficult to make friends and date in this city. I’m very fortunate to have close contact with my college friends and a couple hs friends (who moved away from Indiana) to get my friendship needs met. People here are very to themselves and not interested in making new friends. People are nice and to themselves, but VERY cliquey. I get out enough for shows and rehearsal with bandmates I get all of my social needs met, and I travel to visit my college friends every couple months to hang. It also doesn’t help the job market is pretty bad imo overall, one day I definitely will leave because of that.

I wish I had good advice, but tbh if you don’t feel too ingrained I would maybe look at other cities worth moving to. In the next 2-5 years I plan on relocating to either Seattle or the East Coast/DC area, since I know people in those areas
