I meet up with my close friends to play DnD once a week, every week. I see them other times too, but those aren't really constant and we're usually busy with other things. The regularity helps.

Another tactic is talking to strangers. Going to be on a plane ride for awhile? If your neighbor looks up for it, start talking. You might share something in common.

My last tactic is being involved in lots of groups. I go to.... 4 meetings a week, and I've met some good friends through them.

I also have enough hobbies for several lifetimes, so there's that.
