Tips to make friends without spending money are welcome. I've spent years in a city without making friends.
Luckily even though I'm a minority in America, I'm not a minority in my city. :) It's filled with people of my ethnicity. So I have more opportunities to be closer with my people, and I want do the right things to get there.
Btw they don't have to be my ethnicity. Just wanna make friends to begin with. My dream is to meet cool communists around here. It's a minority city, and I figure I can't be the only one.
Ask a more alternative coffee shop if you can host a movie night or reading group meet up there. Put up flyers for it/ advertise it on the internet. Show a radical movie and/or list a radical book as the first book being read. Put the word somewhere on the Flyer.
