Want to meet Minecraft buddies?

I want to find people to play with on a privet server, but I don't know anyone in real life who plays, and I hate meeting people via online servers cause I never seem to meet anyone who won't try to screw me over and destroy my stuff. I just want some friends to play with and build things with. What do you guys suggest to do?

If youre talking about a survival type of server ill join. I usually play single player cause of the same reason. Online is too chaotic. So i'm down with some peaceful adventure.

I could make the private server if you wish. It would be of no cost to you.
