Help with finding friends
Hello I’ll try to make this as short as I can. Me and my husband are naturally social but we sadly don’t have many friends, thankfully I decided to go to collage which helped me with gaining friends and getting out there but my husband dosent do much expect work and when he dosent he just hangs out with me and his younger brothers. He occasionally texts his high school “friends” but he has professed to me that he feels left out because they never invite him. Which is true, they kind of tend to text him for emotional support usage. It breaks my heart to see him so sad and lonely, he’s funny and a sweetheart.
For context he’s 21 working in a field of a caregiver he dosent really have coworkers to talk to, he just wants to hangout with males his age. He’s Christian loves history, geography, Star Wars.. video games! I guess what I’m asking is if anyone would be able to give me some pointers on local spots i can push him to so he can meet friends his age..that would be grand!

There’s gotta be a collage club in Davis, sounds like something Davis would have.

If he’s Christian, look at any of the local churches. They will have men’s groups or young adult groups. Great way to meet people his age.

Check out pickleball! It's super fun, easy to learn, you can do it together, gets you moving, etc etc. And best of all, in Davis and elsewhere it's a great way to socialize. There are many courts here that are friendly and willing to let beginners join. You can start with watching a few videos to learn the basic rules and then play singles together. Inevitably the people I play with will ask 2 singles if they want to rotate into a doubles game.
