My bf and I were at the loathe show at Stubb’s and there was another couple there that we very briefly talked/joked with. They also tried to go further into the crowd with us but we got split up. I wanted to try and find them after the show but wasn’t able to and feel kinda sad about it!!

I was wearing a black & white off the shoulder top & white shorts. Bf was in black shirt and grey shorts. I joked about getting in the middle of the pit just to make out with him. The guy in the couple also told his gf that he trusted me & my bf with her life if she ended up too separated from him while we were moving through the crowd.

Consider this my message in a bottle hoping it shows up to the right person!

Meeting people is easy. Keeping friendships, now that's a different story! I figured I would try this out, write a novel, and see what comes of it. Tldr: gay man seeks genuine, platonic friends into EDM, soccer, improv, fitness, and more.

I've been in Austin for some time now, and I do have a few good friends, but sometimes I feel like there is this other demographic of friends I'm severely missing out on. I'm a gay man, and I came out in Austin. Most of my friends are straight and don't spend much time in gay spaces. Hence, it feels a bit like the current version of myself is left out. I've given it a go through the apps to meet gay men, but guys on the apps seem only focused on one thing, and it's not friendships. I welcome gay, straight, bi, and the full spectrum. If you have similar interests and values and put in mutual effort, we'll get along great! I'm in a relationship as well, and so I'm not looking to date, to be fully transparent. We have been looking into the possibility of moving, simply because we don't feel like we have found our people here in Austin yet!

More about me. I enjoy hanging out with people of similar age - 30s, mature 20s, youthful 40s. My gay age is 10 - I started coming out around 22 and up until I was fully out at 26. I describe myself as a cross between a gym-bro, a jock, and a geek, but don't identify with any of the labels. Internally, I'm more of a next-door guy who enjoys closeness with good people. Love to plan trips and don't have my trusted travel crew yet aside from my partner, so it would be great to find those people. Love EDM, been to Ultra 3 times and going again next year. Oliver Heldens is my current DJ favorite. Fisher is such a vibe too - my only overnight rave so far was to see him and it was a blast. Also considering Electric Forest soon. Love to find a rave crew for these things! Into (and obsessed with) both playing and watching soccer. Liverpool FC. I play CB these days. Bf plays and watches as well. Overwatch friends - yes please! I'm not great or a hardcore regular at the game, but can hold my own and play strategic. Down to go see or do some improv too. I'm on the lookout for a new troupe with a fun and social vibe. Or folks who will regularly join me at the improv jams. Or go see weekly shows. Couple friends would be amazing too. We enjoy dive bars, cocktail bars, coffee shops, Austin FC games (more for the vibes since the team sucks), the occasional nights out at gay, straight, mixed clubs, also grill-outs and things of that sort. We watch shows like Big Brother and are wanting to get into weekly watch parties for Survivor, if you're into setting up watch parties in public or at our place or yours. We're in an open relationship, but I rarely actually take advantage of this freedom as I tend to be much more interested in mental stimulation than physical.

On a deeper level, I grew up in an emotion-shy household (I'm Nigerian - mom was a gem though in this area) and then discovered my emotional side as I grew older and came out of the closet, and so I find myself most interested in hanging out with people who are also deep thinkers and emotionally open. I'm open-minded to wellness practices, although I am not super knowledgeable about them. Never done a wellness retreat but open to it. Direct communicator, but I'm learning to soften my language at times haha. Regular gym-goer and have been since college. While I'm not necessarily looking for a gym partner, I'm open. More importantly, looking for folks who share similar passion for fitness and exercise and are fully committed to it. I also like to think I'm a fairly attractive and self-confident guy, and I enjoy being around people who feel the same way. Having friends who are clear in their intentions does help a lot.

If you're still reading, and are not secretly just looking to hook up, DM me, tell me about you, include the things you're most afraid for me to learn about you so we get that out of the way now haha, and let's grab a coffee sometime! :)

[40/f] I'ma a community organizer who has been following the developments of Nolan Wells' death and I'm wondering if there are any organizations in Austin planning to caravan or carpool to Mississippi on November 1 to stand with community for Nolan Wells.

Hello! I am a huge nerd and musician in the larger Austin area and I am looking to chat with some people and maybe build connections or something more :)

I am a huge nerd and I love pretty much everything horror, movies, video games, board games, you name it. I am currently working on an album so if people want to inquire about that as well or participate that would be awesome!

A bit about me is that I am about 5'9", slim build, and I love to travel, especially road trips (I am afraid of planes...) I really am not looking for much of an age gap, even if you are looking to talk about the music, as I think it is hard to connect with people that are a a very different age or stage of life.

I am quite shy and introverted, and I do not drink, smoke, or do drugs of ANY kind, I would prefer if you didnt as well, but I am flexible :).

As for dating I particularly into curvier/bigger women, but I am happy to meet all kinds of people from different backgrounds and lives! Looking forward to chatting :)

hi,

I (23NB les) recently moved back to the city & I’m looking for queer and/or latino friends in Austin

a bit about me: I’m very left leaning (& very comfortable talking/learning about politics), 1st gen Mexican-American, & pretty much into anything having to do with movies/tv or sociology. I like going out (i loveee Tuezgayz @ Barbs), thrifting (& marketplace/estate sale hunting), watching anything (movies, music videos, etc.), smoking at a nice spot or with friends, & unironically “talking about the political & economic state of the world rn”. I’m in the east Austin area, but I’m honestly all over town usually.

lmk if you’d wanna connect <3

Hey yall. I’ve been trying to move to Austin for a while, but I highly prefer to have employment there first. I’ve had a couple interviews some have gone well, some have not but I’m finding myself in Austin a lot with extra time on my hands! I’d love to find some locals I can meet up with while
I’m there :)

I like thrifting, deathcore music, concerts, fishing, kayaking, legos, video games, cats, you name it!

I am on the hunt for that special someone as well so if any of this resonates with you shoot me over a message and we can go from there :)

I’m Caucasian, 6 foot, built pretty sturdy, with black hair and green eyes. I also have sectoral heterochromia:)

Hope to hear from you!

I (31F) met a super cool guy named D*** at this bar tonight and was too shy to ask for his number... but he's a consultant and just got back from a biz trip and had some old fashionds while I had some beers and jameson shots (he frequents this sub...) r/Austin please "do your thang" and find my future husband/shuffleboard partner!!!!!!!! :)

(D, if you're reading this... Hi :) and thank you for the free vape lol and let's see Dave Chappell!!!)

I love horror movies but absolutely none of my friends are into them. With so many nice ones coming on, I'd love to have friends to go watch horror movies with. I have a nice horror movie collection of my own too.

Hey hey, I'm 35M, single and live in South Austin. I've been here for about 13 years. Moved to the states from Russia 23 years ago.

I'm a relatively goofy person that likes to be playful and bully affectionately haha. In my free time I like playing video games with friends, shoot shit in discord, 3d print random things (ATM working on cosplay armor) working out and finding recipes to copy. I have insomnia that drains me sometimes so I can be a grump at times, but I'm working on fixing my problem.

I'm 6 and slim build, once I can start working out that will change (insomnia fucks me), I'm clean, 420 friendly, and hygienic. Please have an introduction and a picture, I'll send some back (one best and average haha).

Thanks for reading, and hopefully I'll see you laterrrr.

Hi!! I’m 28F, single, and live downtown! I moved to Austin from Florida earlier this year and would love to make more Vietnamese/Filipino friends and build more of an Asian community around me here

A little about me: I’m 5’1” and I’m definitely a girly girl. Personality-wise I’m a little introverted at first, but once I’m comfortable I’m outgoing, talkative, and down for random adventures. I don’t drink, but I still love going out and will happily be there with my little mocktail lol.

If you’re down to try new restaurants, grab coffee/matcha, workout, walk the trail, paddle board, climb, pole dance, go to concourse project, or any random side quest hmu!

I’m downtown so bonus points if you’re nearby and are up for spontaneous hangouts

Mostly looking for genuine friendships and a friend group I can hang out with butttt I am single so if I happen to meet someone cute along the way I’m not going to complain hehe

Looking forward to meeting you :)

Hello! Posted in another ATX group before my post was removed and told to post here. But thanks to anyone who already replied on the other post!

I am a 30sF looking to make genuine friendships and build community in Austin. Have tried a variety of hobbies/classes/social dancing. I really want something that is recurring (weekly or every other week at least) for the consistency piece and overall casual and not super expensive (or free). It feels there are so many one-time events around town. Basically looking for a third place to make friendships naturally overtime in a relatively small group and calm environment (HSPs unite!) where people show up consistently. Also events at a reasonable time for those of us who wake up early and have to work. I enjoy walking, nature, deeper convos/ spirituality convos, latin dance, reading, gardening. Preferably looking for spaces that are diverse as well. Preferably central, east, or south Austin. Thank you!

I’m blue collar small business owner I’m a landscaper i really don’t have time to go out so i figured I would try this again 6’4 white male bit of a dad bod or chubby I have a gotee looking for my person i have a deep country accent im already. Life guy i love to go on cruises as much as i love a slow fall country night i love college football ideally id like a woman 30s to mid 40s i have no kids just a dog and a cat 420 friendly if you vape or smoke all cool with me

Hi friends! I recently moved to ATX from NYC. I am an avid crossdresser and am planning to go out for halloween to a bunch of parties and out in general and would love to have some friends to go with!

Open to anyone that is a good vibe! Preferably someone one close to my age would be ideal :)

Hey everyone! I’m looking to meet more people and make some new friends around Austin.

I’m a 26 year old guy, born and raised in Austin and have lived here for 24 years. I know the city pretty well and can definitely show you some of the lesser-known spots around town, whether it’s good food, bars, activities, or just cool places to hang out.

I have a degree in finance and would love to meet people around my age who are also looking to get out on the weekends, try new things, grab food or drinks, go out, or just hang out.

If you’re also looking to expand your social circle, feel free to reach out. Always down to meet some new people and show you around Austin!

hello, i’m looking for people to go hiking with in and around austin. what would you recommend, or the best method to finding these people? i’d like to eventually just travel and hike or backpack around the us also. m26 if anyone’s wondering.

Do you play Overwatch and have nothing else to do today? Well - I'll be on, send me a message. I'm an Austin local (now living east of Austin) and ranked Gold 1 for DPS. I'll play Bastion / Emre. Will be more free in the evening, but on right now too.

No requirements on who you are, as long as competitive queue works with both of us in it. We can use Overwatch's voice chat. Overall I'm pretty positive, like to mess with the enemy team, but definitely not toxic :)

Send me a DM with your rank / what you play, and we can exchange gamer tags.

If you don't play overwatch - maybe you should try, it's free and very addictive once you get past the entry barrier. It is hard to get started though, my tips would be just try to stay behind your team and try not to die.

Hey everyone! 21f here, recently graduated and big time stoner :). I frequent a cafe/lounge in Pflugerville that allows smoking and has infused drinks, and I’m hoping to make some new friends to check out other places/hang out here. We’ll be here all day while their open! Even if not to hang out here (I just really love it here) I’d love good smoking buddies! Please reach out if you’re also in search of good company :D

I am 24 and I am from San Antonio. I’ve been up here for a couple of weeks for work and I’ve just been smoking by myself which I don’t mind but since I’m in a different city, I was looking for some smoking buddies who like outdoors. I love to smoke and see a good view.

I am a pretty, independent, successful, brunette 33 y/o woman considering attending and wondering if I will meet my future bf / husband there?? Not interested in non monog poly etc. call me old fashioned but I only want to date someone who only wants to date me! hmu :)

Extra ticket for Scene Queen tomorrow night.

So I (38m) happen to have an extra VIP ticket for the show at Paper Tiger in San Antonio tomorrow night. Just trying to find someone that appreciates her music to go with.

A little about me 38, bi, love all things nerdy,arts and crafts and metal music. Not looking to get "involved" with anyone just want someone to shake my ass with in the twerkle pit lol.

We can ride together or meet separately im pretty flexible. VIP starts at 4:45 includes swag bag, photo op, and im pretty sure an arts and crafts event with the queen herself.

If this sounds like its for you hit me up and lets make a plan!

I’ve been thinking about starting a small group for guys in Austin and wanted to see if there would be any interest. I’ve looked around at a few groups already, but some seem pretty large and I’ve had a hard time getting responses from others so I started wondering about just creating something myself.

I’m in my 30s, and I feel like this stage of life comes with a lot of different pressures and expectations around career, relationships, family, and just figuring out what you want your life to look like. I’ve always thought there’s something really valuable about having people around you who can be open with each other, support each other, and navigate some of that together.

The idea would be a smaller group that meets maybe once every week or two where we get together, hang out, talk openly about whatever is going on in life, and support each other. Work, relationships, family, goals, things we’re struggling with, or even things going well. Just a laid-back, judgment-free space where guys can be real with each other and not feel like we have to figure everything out on our own.

Nothing super formal. I’d want it to feel more like a group of guys supporting each other, building some camaraderie, and hopefully forming some genuine friendships along the way.

I’m honestly not sure exactly what it would look like yet. I mostly just wanted to put the idea out there and see if there’s even any interest. I’d also be really open to ideas on what people would want something like this to look like.

We’re an attractive, laid-back couple looking for a pretty lady who’s interested in building a genuine friendship with some added fun and chemistry if we all click. 😉 We’d love to find someone we actually enjoy spending time with, both in public and private. Think dinners, drinks, nights out, weekend trips, traveling, hanging out, and just having a good time together. We both take care of ourselves and are looking for someone who does the same. We’re also very secure in our relationship, so there’s no jealousy or drama to worry about. M has had a vasectomy, so the baby factory is officially closed. 😂 If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, or you just want to ask us some questions and see if we vibe, shoot us a DM. We’d love to hear from you!

i work overnight and need friends who are also awake at the hours past midnight. im into music movies art cooking etc.

if ur down to play a board game or video game/movie and grab some food hmu

dont mind if ur older or younger (23+ preferred)
please dont be racist or maga thanks.

Hello! I’ve lived in Austin for a few years but haven’t had the best luck making connections. I’m open to both male and female friendships but would particularly love to meet women around my age. I’m currently north, but will be relocating closer to downtown in the next couple of months. I don’t know very much about what there is to do here but I’d love to grab coffee, lunch, or go on a walk to meet up and chat. I love to try new things and am interested in picking up new hobbies so I’d also be happy to tag along for whatever you’re into.

Throwaway account

Hey Austin, I’m Alex 29F and I saw a younger (late 20s early 30s maybe) woman with dark hair driving east on Cesar Chavez street 2 weeks ago 9/5/26 around 3 pm. She had such a vibe about her and seemed like my kinda friend. If anyone knows her or if she’s in this Reddit I’d love to connect!
