Dear Queenie,
I used to hang out at a bar and meet up with friends or meet new people and make new friends, but these days with all the COVID restrictions it’s not so easy or so much fun to do that.
Queenie, how can I have a social life the way things are now?—Feeling lonesome
Dear Feeling lonesome,
You do not need to go to a bar – you do not even have to go out of your house – to meet new people who might become friends. Nowadays such things can be done online in chat rooms, by email and by cruising Internet dating sites. Just be careful, because there are a lot of scams and other creepy persons who will try to take advantage of you – but that is true in the real (physical) world too.
