Make friends as an adult when you don't know where to start

Help me make friends as an adult.

My situation: [new area, WFH, kids, after a breakup]
Interests: [list]
Time and budget: [details]
What feels too much: [big groups, apps, evenings]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. Five realistic places or ways to meet people that fit me.
2. A first-message or opener template.
3. A four-week plan with one small step a week.
4. How to follow up without being intense.
5. When loneliness needs NHS Every Mind Matters or talking to a GP, not only a social plan.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, diagnoses or legal outcomes. This is help with wording and planning, not legal, medical or counselling advice; point me to GOV.UK, Citizens Advice, NSPCC (0808 800 5000), Childline (0800 1111), Samaritans (116 123) or Refuge/National Domestic Abuse Helpline (0808 2000 247) where that fits, and call 999 if anyone is in immediate danger.
