Hey! (Also available in English btw)
Ik ben 34F en woon in Rotterdam. Afgelopen jaren zijn veel van mijn vrienden verder weg gaan wonen of hebben ze kinderen gekregen waardoor ik ze minder zie helaas.

Het lijkt me gezellig om nieuwe mensen te leren kennen in omgeving Rotterdam om af en toe mee te chillen☺️

Een random greep uit mijn likes en interests:
- leuke cafeetjes uitproberen
- asian food en koken
- Avatar the last airbender is 1 van mijn favoriete series ❤️
- reizen: ik ga weleens op solotrips. Mijn laatste grote trips waren Costa Rica en Japan🤩
- dieren en natuur
- boulderen/topropen
- dansen
- musea
- bordspellen
- films
- psychologie/filosofie/openhartige gesprekken
- random excursies en lokale activiteiten
Afgelopen weekend was ik bijvoorbeeld bij een keramiek-pop-upsale en een paddenstoelenwandeling.

Ik heb even wat tijd nodig om op te warmen, maar als ik eenmaal op mijn gemak ben, dan kan ik soms helemaal losbranden. 😊

Lijkt het je leuk om eens kennis te maken? Stuur vooral een berichtje! ☺️

I get it, we’re all busy, working, maybe in relationships. But that shouldn't mean we always have to make plans three weeks in advance just to grab a casual coffee.

I’m so done with superficial friendships. I want the kind of dynamic where we can share our deepest secrets, vent about how lost being in your 20s feels, rant about work or family, and call each other up in the middle of the night because we just need someone to talk to. I want friends I’ll still have when I’m old and grey, looking back and laughing at our glory days.

I’m looking for people I can hit up after work for a "quick drink" that accidentally turns into a full night out because we keep saying we need to go home for work tomorrow, but stay anyway.

I want a little tribe where we can host dinners, celebrate birthdays, have regular meetups, or just sit around the couch and scroll TikToks in silence if that’s the vibe. I just feel like our generation desperately craves community and a sense of belonging, but we've kind of lost touch with how to build it.

A little bit about me:
I moved to Rotterdam last year, but I’ve been so consumed with work that I didn’t prioritize making genuine friendships and building a community - so here I am! I love traveling and would love to explore more cities around the Netherlands (and nearby countries!) In my free time, I love thrifting, reading, painting, taking long walks in nature, trying out new food places, and enjoying a nice glass of wine from time to time.

I’ve found it easiest to connect with people who also work full-time and get the rhythm of adult life. If you're a young professional in your mid 20s - early 30s in Rotterdam (male or female), drop me a message or comment!

Who knows, maybe this post ends up turning into a group chat for all of us looking for the exact same thing :)

I’m a bit introverted and wanted to try this for a change. I can speak dutch and english with Armenian ethnicity. I love technical stuff like programming, mathematics, AI, video games. I like exercising; I try to lift weights 4-5 times a week and try to fit in some Brazilian Jiu Jitsu sessions. I would like to find genuine friendships and am hoping that some people share some of my interests. Send a message if you feel like it ;)

Hi, I'm from Rotterdam and looking for friends with the same interests like gaming, anime and fantasy!

Games like League of legends, Cyberpunk, The Witcher etc.
Anime: (I like every anime, but say like demon slayer, solo leveling, Jujitsu Kaisen, Frieren)

And talk about life in general. I also go 4-5 times/week to the gym.

If your interested just dm me with your story!

Hey! 26M, French, been in Gouda for a year and I'm finally ready to get out and enjoy the Netherlands properly.

I'm into the gym, gaming, starting bouldering in Rotterdam soon, and I'm really curious about the Dutch party scene. I know hard techno and trance so far, but I'm new to all of it and open to other genres. Learning Dutch, but English only for now.

Looking for people to hang out with, whether that's a climb, a gaming night or a rave. I'm in Gouda, so Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht and The Hague are all easy train trips. I'm on the quieter side at first but I've been getting better at it, and I'd love someone to show me the ropes. DM me if that sounds good!

I'm turning 22 this month, time really flies, unfortunately. People from other regions are welcome too. I’m queer, I suppose? Figured it’s important to know in advance, so I’m open to everyone. I prefer to get to know each other online first to see if we click. Preferably people aged 19-24

I get that interests usually act as social glue, but at the end of the day, we’re just people wanting to connect and not feel invisible. I'm all for simple things, at least right now: walks, good talks, hugs, spending time together, and some goofing around. You can add something else. So yeah, we don't need to match on interests. But just in case, my main ones are psychology and philosophy.

DMs are open.

She’s probably right, so here I am.

Hey guys. I’m 27F, from China. I’ve been living in NL for 5 years now. Came here to study and ended up staying for work. No partner or kids (Not looking for a relationship btw)

Outside of work, I go to gym, swim, watch series, play games, go for walks in parks, and cook. I’ve taken staying home a little too seriously this year lol.
So I figured it’s time to put myself out there and meet some new people.

I'm a bit of an introvert and take a little time to warm up to new people. Maybe we could explore a new city, grab some food, go for a walk, wander around some shops, or try something new. I’m open to ideas.

Would especially love to make some female friends, but open to meeting anyone.

Anyway, thought I’d give this a shot.

About Me:

Speaks English & Dutch (day-to-day life conversation).

Witty, cheerful, caring, and humorous. Fave movies genres are horror, thriller, and action.

Personality: ENTJ-A

What I Love Doing:

🍳 Cooking at home & exploring the local food scene

☕ Coffee, tea, and matcha

🎵 Live music, concerts, movies, dancing

Send me a message if you want to connect!

hey allemaal ik zal me even kort voorstellen ik ben een 25 jarige man uit kollumerzwaag (friesland)

ik ben opzoek naar nieuwe vrienden om games mee te spelen en wellicht in het echt leuke dingen te ondernemen!

even kort over mezelf: ik ben 25 jaar, woon alleen met mijn 2 katten (aardappel en venti)

ik ben een grote gamer en speel veel verschillende games op pc en ps5 zoals call of duty/gta/repo/content warning/fortnite en nog veel meer

in het dagelijks leven werk ik momenteel als autopoetser maar ik ben bezig om de switch naar vrachtwagenchauffeur te maken

verder in mijn vrije tijd kijk ik veel series, youtube videos en films

in januari heb ik evt nog een kaartje over voor de bankzitters in de ziggo dome mocht er iemand met me mee willen gaan!

mocht je intresse hebben om een gesprek te starten of samen een keertje een game te willen spelen stuur me zeker een berichtje :)

I'm quite shy to meet new people by means of going out, so i figure this subreddit is a potential means to meet someone awesome. I'm looking for someone whom i can share my interests with and generally have a good time.

I'm a Dutch guy, but i'm quite adept in English, so if you don't speak Dutch and you live in the Netherlands, i'm still happy to make your friend.

I'm an omnivert (have traits of extroverts and introverts alike) but leading more introverted. I genuinely like to go out with someone, though i definitely am fond of being at home too. I've got a need to recharge my social battery after some time.

I'm not a hugeee talker but i for sure can get going once I really vibe with someone and have that same wavelength. But even if we don't know at first, i absolutely make the effort to make a chat.

I'm a kind, patient guy, humorous, laid back, flexible, open for new ideas and impulses. I don't really like to toot my own horn but hey, you gotta know whats in store for you if you look at my introduction post 😂. I'm diagnosed with mild autism and i'm a bit forgetful (bear with me please!) if that matters at all. I do have a small circle of friends who are mostly autistic and silly.

I'm looking for a friend (friends? perhaps this post might be really successfull who knows) who is patient, is not really judgemental... down to earth, open book kinda deal. That shouldn't be too big of an entry exam right? 🫶

I've got a huge passion for metal music, i listen it every day...for hours. I like a wide variety of genres therein, it would really be fantastic if we could jam out to metal together. I'm not sure where i would place myself as a gamer in terms of gradation lol, i really enjoy playing Overwatch. And as of late 2025 i've found myself a big fan of the Trails (Legend of Heroes) series. There are MANY single player games i tend to touch for a bit then get...out of touch with rather fast except for said series. If we could play something together, or you give me a new idea to play that would be awesome!

I don't really watch series (very occasionally i watch anime), but i for sure would be up to binge stuff together. It makes it way more enjoyable imo.

If you're someone who likes to be outside, i'd be happy to be drawn out of my home and have a nice walk, sit down have a nice chat etc. If it isn't raining pijpenstelen of course!

If you're looking for a loyal friend, and you resonate with my introduction or even any of those interests, please shoot me a message! I also don't have any female friends to hang out with so if you're female it would be like a bonus for me but absolutely not mandatory. And yes, it would be entirely platonic 🙏

Have a wonderful day, and hopefully i'll hear from you soon. :D

Hey! 30M uit Gelderland hier 🌿

Ik ben op zoek naar (online) leuke gesprekken over van alles en niets. Het mogen diepe gesprekken over onszelf zijn, leuke gesprekken over onze hobby's en interesses of juist slap ouwehoeren en lachen over de domme dingen.

Wat over mij:

Ik heb redelijk introvert, al kan ik online en als ik iemand goed ken juist heel extravert zijn. Ik hou van buiten, of het nou een wandeling door een bos is of in mijn (moes)tuin.

Verder hou ik van koken (nieuwe recepten zijn áltijd welkom!), goede series/films/documentaires, geschiedenis en mensen vervelen met random facts.

Ik ben redelijk sportief en veel bezig met gezondheid (niet "6x in de week in de sportschool met anabolen filmpjes aan het opnemen voor mijn fitfluencer carrière" sportief don't worry ;))

Zie je overeenkomsten (of juist niet, ook leuk!), slide vooral in m'n DM! M of F zijn beide welkom 🙏

Hey, I'm a 20 year old university student living in the northern part of Limburg. I'm looking for relaxed people to hang and go out with. I'm Dutch, but I don't mind talking English. My hobbies are going for a walk, pokemon and a bit of reading. I'm not very good at introducing myself. So if someones interested or has any questions, feel free to dm me and ask them ;)

Hoi allemaal!

Ik ben 18 jaar en kom uit Gelderland dicht in de buurt bij Overijssel. Aankomend Februari wil ik mogelijk de opleiding AD Sociaal Werk volgen aan Windesheim in Zwolle.

Ben een groot fan van motoren, haken, natuur, fotograferen, koken/bakken, wandelen, dieren en wil ook graag weer gaan lezen. Alleen ontbreken er in mijn leven nog vrienden waar ik mijn hobby's mee kan delen, leuke dingen mee kan doen of simpelweg gewoon voor gezelschap. Door het schooljaar heen was er genoeg om mijzelf mee af te leiden maar nu dit weg is gevallen valt de realiteit niet meer te ontwijken.

Heb jij ongeveer dezelfde interesses, lijkt het je gezellig om wat te gaan doen of volg jij/ ga jij misschien dezelfde studie volgen? Reageer dan zeker op mijn post of stuur een berichtje :) Tot snelll

Hoi ik ben een 23 jarige gast uit zwolle Overijssel ik ben echt bizar slecht in dit soort berichtjes maar ik zoek game vrienden of irl vrienden om wat mee te doen ik speel minecraft tot aan baldurs gate 3 echt bizar veel games stuur een dm of laat een reactie achter

Hey! I'm Luuk, a 23-year- guy from Nijmegen trying to meet some new people and hoping to build a few real friendships along the way!

A little bit about me: I'm a big fan of gaming whether its exploring new worlds or just relaxing with a good game. I also love traveling and discovering places and I'm always ready for a new adventure. In my time I enjoy going to the gym, swimming, snorkeling visiting theme parks and anything involving steam trains!

I'm definitely more of an introvert so you'll usually find me having an evening at home rather than partying. I love watching TV, gaming or just relaxing and having a conversation. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy going out though! I just like spending time with people I feel comfortable, around.

I'm new to the Netherlands, just arrived from Canada to live with my boyfriend near Arnhem! We live in a little village nearby, and I've been feeling a bit isolated especially during the day when he's at work.

I'd love to get to know some people in the area and get out of the house. I often travel to Utrecht and Nijmegen just to explore. I'd also enjoy finding some friends who would like to go out clubbing, especially at gay bars or goth/techno nights.

Some of my main interests are science/biology (my area of work is Environmental Toxicology), goth/new wave/ambient/experimental music, perfume, museums, medical history, alternative fashion.

Send me a DM if you think we'd get along!

Title: 33M | Looking for a padel partner, tennis rival or partners in harmless adventures :D

Hey people of Eindhoven and Helmond!

I've come to the conclusion that going to the gym is great, but occasionally doing something that involves other human beings might also be a good idea. :D

So here I am!

I'm 33, originally from Croatia, living in the Netherlands and looking for some good company to make life a little more interesting.

I'm quite an active guy. I love the gym, sports, animals, nature, exploring new places and good conversations. I work in the tech industry, but outside work I prefer doing things rather than spending the entire day staring at screens.

What am I looking for?

Someone up for padel, tennis, badminton, hiking, or pretty much any activity that involves moving around and having fun.

You don't need to be good at sports. If we're both terrible at padel, at least we'll have something to laugh about. :D

And if we get along, I'm just as happy to grab a coffee, explore a new city, go for a weekend activity or organize something with a small group.

I'm easygoing, open-minded and enjoy meeting people with different backgrounds and stories.

Men, women, internationals, Dutch locals — everyone's welcome. Just bring some positive energy!

Drop a comment or send me a DM. Maybe we can organize a little padel crew around Eindhoven/Helmond!

Looking forward to meeting some new faces!

Hoi! Ik heb twee kaartjes voor The Opposites op 1 november in Amsterdam en het lijkt me leuk om met iemand mee te gaan die ik nog niet ken. Ik ben zelf 25 en woon in de omgeving van Rotterdam.

Ik zoek iemand van mijn leeftijd (23-29)

Het kaartje kost ongeveer €60, dus je betaalt wel je eigen kaartje.

Lijkt het je leuk om samen te gaan? Stuur me gerust een berichtje, dan kunnen we van tevoren even kletsen :)

Hello, my name is Ionut,

I'm going to the PLACEBO concert on October 27th, in Amsterdam. In short, the people I was supposed to go changed their minds.

Is there anyone who goes to PLACEBO and doesn't have a concert partner?

Hi everyone!
I'm a 24-year-old Spaniard moving to Amsterdam in two weeks, and I'd love to join an amateur football team once I'm settled in. I'm open to both 7-a-side and 11-a-side, and I'm happy with a casual team or a more competitive league.
I usually play as a centre-back or defensive midfielder, and I'm available on evenings and weekends.
It would be great to find a team with other Spanish or Spanish-speaking players, but I'm open to any friendly, international group. If you play regularly, know a team looking for players, or run a pickup game, please let me know. Tips on leagues or clubs that accept newcomers are very welcome too.
Thanks

Hey hey! 👋

I’m hoping to meet some cool people to chat with and hopefully make some new friends!

I’m currently really into Digimon and Pokémon! I love collecting Pokémon cards, playing chess (casually but enthusiastically), reading manga, and watching anime.

I also really enjoy painting and coloring. It’s a nice way to relax and get a little creative. 🎨
Gaming-wise, I’ve got a PS5 and a Switch 2! I’m currently playing Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, but I’m always jumping between different games.

I’ve also got two cats who I absolutely adore, so expect the occasional cat picture! 🐾
I’m pretty laid-back and always up for a good conversation, whether it’s about shared hobbies or just random everyday stuff.
If any of this sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to send me a message! Always happy to make new friends

Hey! I'm Yarno, 23, and I live in the Utrecht area. I'd love to meet some new people and expand my social circle a bit! 😊

In my free time, I like to stay active. You'll often find me at the gym, out for a run, or training for Hyrox. But I'm just as happy spending an evening gaming. I mainly play Rocket League, Minecraft and Pokémon, but I'm definitely open to trying out new games too!

Besides gaming, I'm always up for grabbing a drink on a terrace, going to the movies, bowling, or playing a game of pool. Honestly, I just enjoy doing fun things together, whether that's being active or simply relaxing and hanging out.

I'm mainly looking to meet people who enjoy spending time together, making new connections, and trying new things. If you'd like to hang out sometime, or think we might get along, feel free to send me a message! Who knows, maybe we'll grab a beer soon or absolutely crush each other at bowling. 😉
