How does a 20 year old girl living in Washington, D.C. make female friends?

Question

One of my friends is 20, she lives in DC with her parents, works at a law firm with a bunch of old folk, and she doesn't have any female friends who live near her.

How should she make friends with other girls? Where does one go to make friends with girls?

Answer 1

Honestly my suggestion would be to stick to her interests.  If she is into church then join up with others there.  If it is a cooking club, wine club or hiking, etc. post an ad on Craigslist wanting to meet others.  Only beware of people and meet in public until you get to know them/others.  

Joining a health club is another way.

Answer 2

I live near D.C. Tell her, what I did was I went to Meet up.com and I made a few friend based on the specific group of interest that i signed up for. Its just all about getting out and making yourself available to meet people. Tell her to go to concerts, events, and social gatherings. Even school is a good place to meet people. I have a friend who attends Northern Virgina Community College, and he's meeting all sorts of people. She's just got to get out there and be open to the idea of letting people come to her in order to meet and get to know them.

Answer 3

Don't you mean a 48 year old man living in his grandma's basement eating lunchables all day? In this case, I'd say as soon as he stops playing the last level of Garage Band and walks outside.

Answer 4

My suggestion is that she pick out a pursuit or activity that she enjoys, and find an organized group that does that.  It is likely that at a good percentage of her fellow participants will be female -- and that they'll have some common ground, i.e. enjoying the thing that brought them there.
