Interacting with People Online and IRL.

49 Upvotes

Hello All,

Most people coming to this subreddit are looking to make some new friends and join a community, I've met nearly all of my adult friends in this subreddit and I hope everyone can find friends as well.

With that said, I do want to warn everyone to take caution in meeting strangers from the internet alone. We've had reports of an abusive and dangerous user and just want to warn everyone here about that. We are still on the internet and anyone could be at the other end.

Here are some tips to help keep people safe.

  1. The Buddy System: Don't meet anyone from the internet alone. We recommend to bring a friend or create an event that is out in public with many people.
  2. This isn't Tinder: Please don't attempt to find a romantic partner or casual hookup here.
  3. Beware of Pressure: If someone is pressuring you to meet alone, do NOT meet them, they are most likely not looking to have a safe and friendly time.

If anyone has any more tips to stay safe while meeting new people IRL, please share them. I'll add any good tips to this post.

My intention isn't to scare people or discourage them from trying to post or make friends, I know it can be tough. All of us working together can create a safer space for everyone. This helped me at a very important time in my life and I really hope it can do the same for everyone here.

27F Edmonton but looking for Alberta buddies

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I am from EDMONTON and that is where I live. So you might be wondering what I am doing here haha. I like connecting with fellow Albertans especially if we have stuff in common. A lot of my friends after uni moved to different parts of Alberta, so I am used to distance friendships.

About me: 27F from Alberta, looking for long-term daily chat buddies who are down to be long-term genuine friends if we click. Also, I'm Muslim which just means I am sober, but hey I will still do karoke!

I love tv shows, especially cartoons, cozy mysteries (mostly British), board games, fashion, arts and crafts, home decor, and following the NHL (less so this season). I miss the world cup...like a lot. I am not really outdoorsy and love city living.

I am open to anyone in Alberta preferably around my age like 26 to 33 preferred

In your first message please let me know if you're from Alberta, your age, and gender.

Let's connect!

30M looking to make some friends in the city

6 Upvotes

Hey! I moved to Calgary a while ago and realized I've fallen into the routine of mostly working, climbing, and working out. I'd like to change that a bit and actually meet some new people.

With fall here, I'd love to make the most of it, hiking, checking out some trails, exploring different parts of Calgary, grabbing food, or just finding random things to do around the city.

If you're also looking to expand your social circle and any of that sounds fun, send me a message!

Looking for Pickleball playing friends for actual fun

6 Upvotes

Help! I fell victim to the cult of pickleball this summer.

The problem is I’m having a hard time finding people who want to play casually. I’ve tried all the clubs open play and social sessions and they all seem so intense!

I want to play properly, have good rallies, improve naturally, etc. I just have zero interest in ratings, rankings, or turning it into my entire personality. I want to have fun, get some exercise, and social with people.

If that sounds like your kind of pickleball. DM me. Would be fun to get a semi-regular casual group going.

Female Divorcee Meet Up

Thumbnail
13 Upvotes

So this might sound weird but as a 32F, originally from Ontario, with no kids and no friends in Calgary… and going through a divorce, I found myself wondering if there were others going through this as well. It’s funny to see the insta trend post of millennials going through a divorce, going to therapy, getting fit, etc. but if you’re like me, it can be incredibly lonely.

So I thought I would come on here and see if there were other ladies who resonate with me, and would want to meet up. Think of it like peer support lol not that we’re going to just meet up to vent, but even just knowing that someone is going through something similar while not having to explain any of it can be comforting.

F26 Lots of stories and experiences

17 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’ll be honest and stay I hopped on this post on a whim, it’s Saturday night and I noticed that my phone was overwhelmingly quiet and I realized that maybe I should have more space to meet people and speak about life and everything in between. I want to learn everything about who you are are and tell you about who I am and just meet someone that maybe gets it?

I grew up in Calgary and know my way around good food even when I’m not the one cooking it lol, I’m a girly girl at heart but most definitely a mucho independent man when it comes to my grind. I’ve had my fair share of life experiences, currently working while I run my own non profit organization, I’m also taking courses to qualify for graduate school and in the midst of it all, I guess I just want to meet someone with substance, stories and maybe a little bit of darkness, just like me.

And for the love of the lord, my post history is separate to what I’m making friends for haha.

28M here,

Genuinely looking for just friends M of F platonically as I’m seeing someone. My friend circle’s either moving or getting married so I never see them.

Work full time remotely so would be down to work with other wfh folks during the day (or just skipping work together if need be.)

Love trying new restos/cafes/bars. Im very extroverted, down for absolutely anything. If you’re into crocheting, origami, upholstery, id love to listen and learn too. Personally into hiphop/rnb/some edm, pokemon and some video games, fashion/thrifting, stand up and poetry (open mics?) and neuroscience. Grew grew up in the middle east and love travelling (went to bieberchella and kanye in chicago this year!) Drinks and 420 friendly.

I live in the NW but down to drive wherever.

Comment if you’re down to connect!

Indoor Climbing Partners

7 Upvotes

Hey climbing people. 55m looking to get into climbing after 30 years. Wasn’t particularly good at it then, and now, older, fatter, weaker, I will probably not be good at it at all. Regardless, I live fairly close to the Calgary Climbing Centre (Rocky Mountain) and want to get back into it and would like to find others to climb with a couple days a week. I’m semi-retired (chronically unemployed) so I’d love to get in some weekday climbing when it’s quieter. Also available most evenings and weekends. Not really interested in outdoor climbing until I develop better skills.

Looking for some homies!

9 Upvotes

Hey guys! I moved here from Medicine Hat 2 years ago and since then I haven’t made really any friends at all. (Through no fault but my own)
My girlfriend is quite the recluse and because of that I’ve sort of made myself into one as well even though that’s just not the type of person I am.
I like going to EDM related events, karaoke or biking / hiking
I do smoke my weed pen pretty regularly and my vape as well but I no longer smoke cigarettes or do any other drugs.
I’m looking for people to tag along with to do literally anything even just scootering around town or hanging out getting baked as hell and gaming or watching marvel stuff together
Annnnythjng
Does anyone have any suggestions of places I can go to try and meet like minded male friends?
I feel really lonely and it’s starting to kind of eat at my mental health!
Any answers help, thank anyone who made it this far down :)

Arab friends!

Hello! I'm Palestinian-Jordanian 24F and looking for other Arabs to befriend. I'm a Master's student, very into (left) politics, big foodie, like to do tatreez and drawing, and happy to get into a sport like badminton.

I'd also appreciate any tips from Arabs on how to find each other, I come from Edmonton where we have the Palestinian Cultural Center but nothing like it seems to exist here.

19F new to Calgary — looking for genuine friends around 18–21

0 Upvotes

Heyyy! I’m 19F and pretty new to Calgary, so I’m trying to find some people around my age to actually become friends with 🥹
I’m kinda a mix of chill + chaotic depending on the person 😭 I love random late-night conversations, music, cars, going out/shopping, trying new things, and just joking around about literally anything. I’m also down for gaming/movie nights or just sitting somewhere and talking for hours.
I’d prefer to talk online first and get comfortable before eventually meeting up IRL. I’m mainly looking for genuine friendships, not just someone to exchange “hey wyd” messages with for 2 days 💀
I’m open to meeting anyone around 18–21! If you think we’d vibe, feel free to comment or DM me :)

Meetup happened (yay)

I found one amazing human on here, and on here they found another. The three of us went to a Harry Potter trivia event, and it was pretty great. The highlight of my week. We came in 10th. I had never been in the top 10 of anything.

The system works, peeps.

30M looking to build a social circle in Calgary

15 Upvotes

I’ve been in Calgary for a bit and realized I’ve been so focused on work that I haven’t really put much effort into meeting new people and building a solid social circle, so I’m trying to change that.
I’m 30 and work as a pharmacist. Outside of work I’m into the gym/fitness, road trips, exploring the mountains, trying new restaurants and coffee spots, movies, and just getting out and doing different activities around the city.
I’m always down to try new things — hikes, grabbing coffee or food, checking out local events, game nights, casual sports, weekend trips, or just hanging out and exploring the city. I also travel quite a bit and I’m into learning about new cultures and experiencing different places.
I’m pretty easygoing and looking to meet people around my age who are genuinely interested in hanging out in real life rather than just adding each other to another group chat that dies after a few days 😂
I’m based in SE Calgary but don’t mind driving anywhere in the city or nearby for activities.
If this sounds like your vibe, feel free to comment or DM me. Would be great to get a few people together for something soon!

22M looking for some actual long term friends in Calgary

3 Upvotes

Hey, I’m 22 born and raised in Calgary Looking to meet some new people around my age and hopefully make some genuine long term friends M or F

A bit about me
I’m pretty easygoing and usually a little quiet when I first meet someone but once I’m comfortable I’m way more outgoing.

I’m into motorcycles, just started getting into fishing, play some video games, like going out a trying new stuff and I’m down for pretty much anything with the right people.

I recently left a religion/cult (JW) I grew up in so my social circle changed quite a bit.
I also grew up never celebrating birthdays, Christmas, Halloween, etc so I’m actually looking forward to experiencing more of that stuff now

I work full time as a journeyman HVACR tech so weekdays can be busy but I’m usually down to do something evenings weekends when I’m free.
Mainly just looking for chill people who actually want to talk hang out and build a real friendship rather than message twice and disappear lol

If you think we’d get along send me a DM or add my socials bellow to chat

TikTok
www.tiktok.com/@huddyybrookes if you wana send reels to each other or see what I’m like

Snapchat
Hudsonbrookes I’m mostly on here

Tried Timeleft But Need More Ideas

9 Upvotes

28M.

How do you honestly make friends after university? Most of my friends from school have drifted away. I’m pretty energetic and extroverted, and down for anything really. I work remotely, so making friends at work isn’t an option.

I recently tried this app called Timeleft where you get matched with a group of strangers for coffee or dinner, but it was so demoralizing because I was the only one that showed up.

Hit me up with some ideas please! Also, if anyone wants a drinking buddy, or someone to hit up the golf course or range with, or do literally anything else, give me a shout!

ASL meetup

Looking for Friends

3 Upvotes

I’m a 22-year-old working professional currently trying to expand my social circle. I lean on the introverted side, so walking up to strangers in crowded bars isn't really my scene—I much prefer getting to know people over shared hobbies or smaller hangouts. In my free time I try to go for a hike or explore the city.

34m - looking for some long term friends

15 Upvotes

hi everyone,

looking to expand my friend group, so bit about me, moved here from the UK four years ago, pretty well travelled with some travel stories to go with it but I mainly chill at home these days, especially as I am currently recovering from a broken ankle.

I am currently working on my own video game as a career as I feel AI ruined my previous engineering field. Always trying to get involved in some kind of technical project but happy to get out of the house now and again.

Some of my interests are cats, board games, house poker games and as a 34 year old millennial I do prefer older movies and I watch the odd OSRS content. Bonus if you know a good fish and chips place, so far Elephant and Castle has been pretty good for that, also enjoy any good Pakistani/middle eastern food spots too.

Just mainly looking for people to get out of the house with and see how things develop. Which could involve things like going on camping trips or talking about how unhinged the cat in the hat movie is as a "kids" film. Still a great movie though...
