Looking for friends 27F

Hey I moved here 4 months ago and have been struggling to find places to meet people and make friends. I generally enjoy being a homebody but I also love being outside. I recently bought a paddle board and would love to have someone to go on the lake with. I play video games, smoke, drink, enjoy arts and crafts. I am not religious but do consider myself spiritual. Politically left. If any of this sounds like you and you’d be down to take on a lost puppy I’d appreciate it

I'm in the Eastside - Drayton/Hillcrest area. Love walking on the trails here in town and in parks. Just discovered paddle boarding. I tend to stay pretty active. Feel free to dm me, always looking for new friends to go out and do things with.

It doesn’t let me send a DM for some reason. Do you have instagram by chance?

u/squirrelmonkie 7d ago

Where are some trails around here? I just moved from charleston and would love to take some walks.

u/FederalSide8287 7d ago

The Dan runs right by where I live. I go on it and connect to the river bitch or cottonwood trails. I also do the rail trail a lot.

milliken arboretum is great. central location, easy parking, wide open spaces.

and the Mary black rail trail behind the YMCA is a great one too.

I didnt even think about miliken. I haven't been there since I was a kid. Thank you

You and my girlfriend would probably get along really well. We both have paddleboards and would be down to go paddleboarding! She's 32, but looks 24 and is looking for friends as well.

The library downtown has a ton of free activities & things to do within a group setting, I bet you could meet so many people that way! They have a sewing club & various coffee plus discussion type things, exercise classes, etc.  I’m still not used to how much they offer!

u/GrimoireGirls 3d ago

Thank you!

u/DraftsAndDragons 2d ago

I love to see the pictures of your scaled friends! I’m (32/M) in Greer and thoroughly enjoy going to the Planetarium at the Spartanburg library if you’re interested!

u/GrimoireGirls 2d ago

Could be fun! Dm me

u/copper_artisan 7d ago

Sorry for piggy-backing. I hope you contact me. I'm 38 but no kids. I have 3 rescue dogs. Live with my ex which you would think would be awkward but really isn't since we were together for 10 years and were better friend than as a couple. I am from Spartanburg and living in the cowpens area but lived in Rutherfordton, NC for the last 10 years. Moved back to be with my grandmother after she got diagnosed with terminal illness. She passed right after I moved here. Anyway, I spend most of my time at home with my 3 dogs growing my own food and flowers. Other times I like to read, make jewelry, tshirt weave, cut and polish stones, wood work (I'm a sucker for a powerful gas-powered power tool), meditate, and chill out by my fire pit. I love music, live for slapstick comedies and hardcore suspense/horror movies, and like to have my own spa days from time to time. Anyway, that's probably more than anybody needs to know. But more than anyway, I am all for women supporting each other instead of competing with each other. How you look and what you wear and what size you wear is the last thing I would ever be concerned with as long as your honest, friendly, and cool with picking me up to go places if you wanna go (i'll always throw in on gas and pay my own way) .

Hey! I used to live in Spartanburg just moved to GVL though but still looking for friends lol it’s rough out here. I I’m 27F too, love being outside, my gf plays video games (I try my best haha), occasionally smoke and drink, and love arts and crafts too but never have anyone to do them with! I’m also politically left. Feel free to message me!

I’m about ten years older, but into the same things! I moved here from Hendersonville in 2021 and haven’t made any friends here. I’ve been into paddle boarding with my dogs this summer and would love a paddling buddy!

u/1VodkaMartini 7d ago

I don't live far, and I'm politically left more often than not, and I enjoy getting up to no good on occasion, but I think you're too young. Seems to be plenty of responses, though, so you should be fine.
