How to make friends?

Hi everyone! I moved to Sydney recently, and I want to make new friends there. Do you have any suggestions?

You can go to the pubs and bars and meet new people there because drunk people can be pretty friendly.

That's true, bars and pubs are great for making friends, but only if you drink. I don't, so that's why I have to find alternatives to that. As for me, the best dating sites australia work great when I'm bored, and I want to talk with somebody. I even managed to pull a girl once, but we decided to stay friends.
