How do I make friends my age??

Go to places where people your age go out and have fun at i.e bars clubs . biggest thing is don't be afraid of leaving your comfort zone. my ex had the same issue after cheating on me she had no friends because they were all my friends (different circumstances but same point) her problem was not putting herself out there. Always keep in mind that it's okay to leave your comfort zone.

It does feel weird going to bars alone but it feels like if I try to go to any of those places alone I'm just looking to hook up. No one approaches me anyways since it seems everyone comes with other people anyways. I've tried to engage in conversation before like this one time in this small group of people a guy complimented something I had on and I said thanks and told me where I got it but he just quickly went back to the convo in his group. It just seems impossible for me.

It seems impossible only because the lack of social experience. Albeit approaching even a small group is challenging especially if you feel awkward in any sense of the way. Look at people's clothing just like that one guy did. mostly like bands or cool designs if it aligns to your personal interests go off of that. The guy probably didn't mean to blow you off but in his perspective it's a little intriguing how a lone female (or male not trying to assume) walked up to a small group of people who are probably his close or semi-close friends and entered the conversation however A for effort. Confidence is key in that situation since he gave you an in on the group in a way by complimenting your appearance so in that situation you hang back and soak in the conversation and jump in when something sparks your interests. Also it would help to introduce yourself people are friendlier and more inviting if they know your name.

Oh and also about the hook-up thing. That's understandable bars and clubs are just generally places people do come to hook-up. there's many other places that people do fun things at. try a concert of your favorite band or an activity that many people enjoy doing. For example an art museum. Approach-ability is all based on the mood you set inside your mind. Easier said then done when it comes to trying to maintain a positive mental attitude however trying is succeeding.

Where do you live?

Try couchsurfing.com

They have local forum groups for each city where you find events specific to meet new people in the city.

I've used it when moving to a different country, still have plenty of friends just from people that I have met at those events.

Use meetup.com . Find a nearby group that interests you.

We don't have many interesting places here in Puerto Rico >>18173576. It's either bars or events (of which there aren't many). People are antisocial as hell here unless youre openly looking to drink and hook up.

Do these work for outside the US too? Also, does anyone know of a good videogame forum where it's easy to talk and meet people to play games? Maybe I can find someone in my area in there.
