First of all: Do they want to make real live friends? having only internet friends doesn’t sound too bad, does it?
they have tried to socialize in a fishbowl event but they weren’t able to get a friend there as I feel it.
you don’t get a friends from a single event. give it more time. much more time. some other comment mention hobbies or groups, and i think this is the key: you don’t go to those events because you want to make friend, but because of you interest and you make friends by accident. Don’t pressure it!
