How do you (expats) make friends with Portenos other than dating them and being invited into their social circle?

Because once you break up with them they kick you out of that circle...

Teaching English, you meet a lot of people.
Some of them become your friends
I don’t live in BsAs, so I can’t speak to meeting people there …

you make friends the same way you do anywhere else

 

[Millie]

If you are natural , and humble, you will meet people, especially if you go to the same cafes/ places with regularity. If you have a dog and go to a dog park, that is also a great way.

Marry one!

What I have found is that it’s harder as you get older, but that is not specific to life here ; but it’s not at all impossible. Friendship networks shrink as we get older. You have to make an effort, and you will find someone who will reciprocate…You definitely need to initiate … and friendship will follow. Something like, “I really enjoyed talking to you: I’d like to stay connected”…

Yeah. Now they are no longer my friends, they all just ask me for money or to invest in their "proyectos"
