How does one acquire friends in NYC?

[Mohri]

So, like, I moved here with my girlfriend and she demoted me to roommate after 3.5 years. So, here I am, living in the big Apple but I don’t know anyone. How does one do this?

Have you tried setting elaborate traps?

You know what, I have not. We talking pit fall traps or something like a glue trap? I like the glue trap idea because I could deny all responsibility and just look like a helpful stranger

[stilgar]

How do feel about vampires and larping?

Craigslist.

I have one suggestion but it involves getting into pokemon go

I was thinking of something like an overly complex rube Goldberg device that you could explain after you catch them. you know, like a conversation piece. Your way is probably better, though. Plausible deniability and all that.

3.5 years and your girlfriend was your only friend? Damn, no wonder she broke up with you. That is quite a burden to place on one person.

I kind of have friends here, but they’re all internet introverts and never leave their rooms. So, they don’t count. It’s also funny you say that, because one of the things was not showing her enough attention. Lolol

You could just ask me for one of my kidneys instead of attempting to set me up.

Well, where’s the fun in that?

Same way you do anywhere else.

You don't.

Well, there is a game called Vampire: the Masquerade. There are event called larps where people play pretend. NYC has a few of these larps. So, if you like playing pretend as a vampire those could be a good way to make friends.

I would gift you mine if I could. Kinda done with people who aren't internet introverts that never leave their room

Take long Uber rides.

Those drivers love to chat and a long enough conversation could result in a new friend........or enemy

This is not something I would ever see myself doing, but you have peaked my interest. I know of the old PC game. I may have to do this.

You can hang and smoke weed with me and if you don’t smoke then I guess we could do something else but I’m gonna hate it

I don’t smoke unfortunately. Which, from what I heard, makes the best smoking buddies.
