it's relatively easy for me to meet people online, but there's only so much i can get out of virtual friendships anymore.

    Last month I actually met someone on one of my walks but it’s not feasible to meet them again because everyone just goes straight to their car after leaving home to go to work for most of the day.

    This is why I'm so skeptic of that other guy's comments about putting yourself out there, there are limited contexts were spontaneous meetings are encouraged, outside of those, people think that you want something from them. I've actually talked to random people on the street a couple of times, even striked some conversations, but people aren't just going to open up to you just cause there was some interesting sight or sound and you briefly bonded over it. I also probably suck at it, I dunno. I just grew a bit sad just thinking about it, actually.
