Thanks for responses. I'm fairly introverted and lack confidence in social situations. I've tried various groups on meetup.com but it's hard to make friends beyond the activity itself. I'll interact, talk, be polite, but I think my guard is up. Of course, in the moment, I never see it and wonder why I can never connect with anyone.

All I can think of is the phrase "coffee is for closers". I've never been able to close anything. I don't think I'm asking too much to have someone to grab a coffee or catch a Flames/NFL game once in a while.

Dating while lonely with no friends? I'm sure that's really attractive and my body language probably betrays me immediately.

I heard the morning crew on the Fan960 make fun of "life coaches" but maybe that's something to look into? Not sure...
