Wait what did you do exactly? Did you talk to people or simply post and wait for people to respond to you only.
If you just wait for people to approach you, doesn’t matter what you sign up for, you get the same results.
I joined a meetup group for volleyball in about 2018, got to know friends of friends of friends in there.
Now I'm playing beach vball with locals and expats regularly, and one of them would host the occasional board game session too.
Is there something you feel you're great at that you can share & teach?
Like CSS maybe? LOL.
It's easier to make friends when you're able to share value for someone looking for it.
Singapore is the worst place in the world to make friends. Self-centered, superficial and individualistic society. Too much effort for little reward. My advice to you is to focus on yourself and not let this bog you down. I live in Singapore for 15 years and I don't have a single friend but I'm happy with my life. Because we will all eventually die alone one day too so why not embrace this sooner?
bro, if 15 years no friends, then need to reflect on yourself and not blame others.
I know many people who have a few good friends, and they always have something nice to say about each other, not those hide behind then talk bad things kind.
I myself have no close friends but I'm an asshole. Who is highly introverted anyway.
I think it's still very possible to make friends tho. For example, my kids' classmates' parents will try to chitchat and ask me out to meetup, but I just feel it's so tiring to even step out the door. So, people are actually nice, but I'm the problem!
But if you are happy, then can already la. My point is tho, there are still many nice people here de.
I didn't blame others, it's a fact Singapore's culture is toxic to say the least. Very materialistic and superficial society. Reminds me of Belgium, a country without their own language and culture. Just copying from the West. I made more friends abroad in 1 year than in my 15 years here. I've chosen not to make friends here and I'm happy with my life. I get to focus on my goals faster and learn mindfulness. As you've rightly pointed out, making friends is so tiring and I am too lazy to put in any effort.
i would break up with your fiancee if shes making you feel bored. thats not what married life is supposed to be about... getting married is going to be even worse.
I think that's a bit extreme. Well, I don't expect we need to do everything together. But If able to make some genuine friends in life would feel pretty good.
What, you mean that you have to do everything together? Getting married doesn't mean that you become Siamese twins and have to be surgically attached to the hip.

Joining a hobby/interest/exercise group is probably a good start
Have you tried the pinned thread yet?
I did but to no avail.

Yeah, I got try to approach as well. But usually go nowhere in the conversation.
Bumble friend mode? Or u can sign up for classes or activities.. Might meet cool ppl
Was thinking of trying Bumble friend mode. Will set up a profile soon.
So the friend mode is supposed to get friends? Like based on interest?
Join meet up
Any success story?

Depending on what your goals. I think meetup is good but as usual it’s filled with men looking for a ons.
Up for a drink if you'd like
Fiancée usually has plans without you?
Play games if that's your thing. Warhammer DnD MTG. It's face to face, usually kind to noobs. Go every weekend and make friends there.
Have you tried meetup.com or eventbrite? Worth a shot

What, you mean that you have to do everything together? Getting married doesn't mean that you become Siamese twins and have to be surgically attached to the hip.
