How Do You Make Friends as an Adult? Stepping out of your comfort zone, conversation starters and the best places to meet people with co-founders of Girls On The Go Caitlin and Steph

This week’s Quarter-Life Question is something so many of us struggle with (but no one really talks about) - How do you make friends as an adult?

Gone are the days of making mates just by sitting next to someone in school. So what do you do when you move to a new city, feel a bit lonely, or just want to meet like-minded people outside of work or dating apps? Well that’s what this episode is all about. 

✨ In this episode, we cover:

• Why making friends in adulthood is so different (and often more difficult)
• How to step outside your comfort zone and overcome the fear of rejection
• Practical tips for putting yourself out there
• Conversation starters and where to go on a mate date 

💬 More about Girl on the Go:

They run amazing, girls-only events in Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham — from wholesome workshops like bouquet arranging to casual coffee meetups. If you want them in your city, you can vote for future locations on their website (I’m hoping they come to Leeds soon!).
