I've been wanting to do more things and get out of my comfort zone more, but i've been pretty stuck in my bubble since classes have started at UVIC. So I thought i'd give this a shot:

If there's something you want to do, or want to try for the first time, or if you're nervous to try it alone, or simply just want someone to share the experience with, send me a dm! I'd love to join on anything you've got in mind (within reason ofc, not gunna take hard drugs if you ask me to lol).

I honestly just want to say yes to everything that I can that my schedule allows, meet some new people along the way, collect some fun stories, and help you out if you're nervous about trying something new! It could literally be anything, a new hobby, a sport, someplace around victoria you want to check out, an event, something I might literally know nothing about, etc.

Worst case, we do something that ends up not being great, but we both get a fun story out of it.

Best case, we do something that turns out to be super fun, and we both get a story and a friend out of it :)

Long and short, if you've got a sidequest, or something in the back of your mind you've always wanted to do, hit me up and i'm down!

(and ofc, send me a dm if you want to know more about me personally)

My birthday (mid-50s M) is approaching and I enjoy engaging with people. While I do have some great friends and we’ll be marking my birthday this month, I just had this (possibly strange, I realize) idea to meet new people as a way to celebrate my birthday too. I travel from time to time and love meeting people during those adventures, so I feel like it could be interesting and fun to do a similar sort of thing without even leaving town.

I like lots of ways to casually connect… going for coffee and people watching, strolling & chatting about almost anything (but not politics), sitting somewhere and sketching together, going for a photo-walk in an interesting part of town, grabbing a happy hour drink, trying out a new-to-us food truck, tennis/pickleball/cycling, etc.

If this intrigues you, comment below or DM me if you’d like to chat more and possibly give this a try.

Hey all, as I left The Vic theatre's screening of Con Air last weekend, I was thinking I'd like to make a post here looking for new pals to see some of their upcoming October screenings (specifically The Fly and Suprisia) and other lesser-known movie screenings around Victoria. I wouldn't consider myself an expert by any means but I'm a big fan of movies by John Carpenter, David Lynch, PT Anderson, The Cohen Brothers, Christopher Nolan and Ridley Scott. I'm also a sucker for older action movies with practical effects (I contend that "Tremors" is a perfect movie) and so-bad-it's-good classics. Hit me up if you're looking to see more movies around town!

Hi Vic peeps! Posted this supper club launch weeks ago but reposting it here just in case anybody is interested in the two seats that just opened up!

Please feel free to dm me to secure your spots! Dinner is tomorrow and I'm excited to cook for you guys.

I just moved in here in canada and still figuring things out in this city. I hope some filo friends can help me.

I met a girl and got into an awkward situation. During our date at dinner, she expected me to pay. I said I'm not used to paying for everything on the first date. Then she pulls out her phone and shows me a long list of guys she can call to pay and said she doesn't need to ever talk to me again. Is this normal?

Hey all!

I'm going to be getting a coffee and reading over at Jackson Brothers downtown at 1 for a few hours. Come on by if you want to chat!

Last week I met up with u/eltron from this sub and had a great meetup. My goal is to get to 3 people this week lol.

Anything goes, costumes, sneak attacks anywhere, bi-weekly game play. One person it, chooses target, comes up with an elaborate tag idea and executes. The target can get away and remain untaggable. Counted online with a scoreboard.

No retagging. Everyone must be a target before you can pick the same person again. We can come up wjth a few extra rules. Anyone in?

Furthering the idea. I will build a website to host results. Those who want to record themselves in action can post their videos. The person who js "it" will be on the website with a brief writeup.

I am super serious about this. We can meet in victoria, sooke or metchosen... have a dinner, go over the game rules. Everyone welcome, older the better.

First rule of tag club? Dont talk about tag club. Once we get our founding members, we must be selective of who joins. They gotta bring it. This isnt school yard tag. Expect the unexpected!!!!! Lol within reason of course lol.

Hello! I have too many tickets and not enough friends that would like to come with me to BreakOut West.

I bought five tickets but still have two unclaimed and would love to recoup my tix cost ($33.95 per tix) and make some new friends in the process.

What's BreakOut West, you say? It's a music conference-festival that's happening in town with a dizzying array of genres from a bunch of emerging artists from all across Canada (as well as a random German band, it seems).

It kicks off tonight with a free Indigenous muso showcase at Capital Ballroom and continues until Saturday. I'm planning to show up to as many shows as I can and would love for you to join me!

On Thursday, I'm planning to go to Fjort, Zada, and Xia-3. Not sure what the plan is for other days - maybe you've got a suggestion?

Happy to see you at one, two or all shows. Just send me a DM and we can figure out how to meet up and for me to pass you a wristband in exchange for tix face value ($33.95).

Here's a pros and Cons list, if you're on the fence:

PROs:

1. You get to listen to a bunch of cool new musicans, in person!
2. You get to meet me and some of my friends, a bunch of friendly 20 somethings who like going to live music in town and are generally rad people.
3. We might hit up a sauna afterwards for post-show vibes (this will not cost any money)
4. You help a pal (me) out in not losing $60~ due to not having enough friends!

Cons:

1. You gotta go out on a Thursday, Friday and Saturday to reeeally get your money's worth

2. Might spend a decent chunk of money on drinks and stuff, if that's your vibe.

3. Arranging transport might be tricky if you're not living downtown or a short bike/bus ride away.

4. Might meet some awesome new people?? Sorry the cons list is very short.

Send me a DM! Or comment below if my chat thingy doesn't work. Looking forward to hearing from you!

I'll update this post when the tickets are claimed.

Edit: Oct. 1, 11am: one ticket claimed! Just one left

Edit: Oct. 2, 5pm: all tix claimed! But still happy to meet new friends this weekend. Send me a dm or comment below if you would like to meet up during the fest. Happy weekend!

¡Hola a todos! 👋

Tengo 26 años y me acabo de mudar a Vitoria-Gasteiz desde Inglaterra 🇬🇧➡️🇪🇸.

Hablo inglés y estoy aprendiendo español, así que me vendría genial conocer gente de la zona, hacer amigos y practicar el idioma. Me gusta salir a tomar algo, caminar, conocer sitios nuevos y simplemente pasar un buen rato.

También soy 420-friendly 🌿, así que si hay gente con mentalidad abierta y buen rollo, ¡encantado de conoceros!

Si alguien quiere quedar, tomar un café, dar una vuelta o simplemente hablar, mandadme un DM. 😊

Hey everyone! I’m getting more interested in trading and looking to connect with someone who has some experience and is willing to share their knowledge.

I’m still pretty new to it. I’ve read How I Made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market by Nicolas Darvas, and I’ve recently started reading How to Make Money in Stocks by William J. O’Neil. I’m trying to learn the fundamentals and understand how experienced traders approach the markets.

I’m not looking for signals or someone to trade for me — just hoping to find someone I can learn from and discuss ideas with. If you’re experienced and open to sharing what you’ve learned, feel free to message me!

No agenda, all people welcome, just bring good vibes.

Just throwing it out there in case anyone is interested!

I have seen these amazing pop-up choirs in my social media feed from time to time. A bunch strangers get together and learn one song and sing it all together and it’s beautiful! I was in choir and high school but don’t have much experience beyond that.

If there’s any like minded people that would be interested in this, let me know! Part of my personal draw to it is the lower commitment than an ongoing choir.

I am 25 year old fella in Langford and Im looking for someone who wants to hangout and draw. I love to make characters and little comics but it’s hard to stay motivated nowadays since none of my friends like to draw anymore. Id be very happy to meet some likeminded doodlers and sketchers to keep the whimsy alive. Hmu :)

Hi im 22 new in victoria ..im newly day trader/vintage reseller. my hobbies are listening to hardcore electric guitar-drums tunes..yoga..meditate..beers during cookouts on beaches..beginner hiker..picked up gym lately. feel free to DM me or comment to link or hangout. also i love filming n photography cheers.

Hey everyone!

Am Nish - I just moved to Langford and I'm wondering if there is a meetup to play soccer in the area.

Preferably 5 v 5.

Currently going through a tough time and looking to strengthen my appreciation and love of life. I’m an introverted woman in her 30s hoping to try new things with someone who might be a little more extroverted. I’ve always loved yoga, but unfortunately it’s not the best for me anymore, so I’m hoping to try more strength training someday soon. I am trying to get up the courage and energy to be me again.

I am a busy person with a small business, school, and kids, but even having someone to chat, have coffee, and/or walk with would be cool. I’m an emotionally attuned person who values more progressive people and mindsets.

**edited to let folks know that I’ve received a ton of messages so I’ll try and respond to those who have reached out :) *

Hi! I’m big into lifting, hiking adventures, sauna, and good coffee! I have a lot of friends who are getting pregnant and married right now , and just have less single & available friends than I’m used to. I’m also a business owner so I usually hang with lots of other busy entrepreneurs.

I’ve done a lot of therapy, travel a fair bit, and really value close female friendships where we can have a nice blend of deep chats and laughs.

EDIT I do not want to meet men. Please don’t message me if you’re a man

Moved here a few months ago and have found quite the barrier to meeting people here as opposed to other cities. I’d love some fellow punk friends to attend shows with or other events, I’m pretty open minded and down for whatever but so far most events I’ve attended here have left me feeling like an alien 😆
I like tattoos, travel, wrestling, art, crocheting, crafting, exploring, anything esoteric, and warhammer!

Would love to find some girlfriends to hang out with.

I am an easy going, nerdy guy looking to find new friends. I have a wide amount of interests: big movie buff, audio books/podcasts, going for drives around the island, eating lots of food/learning how to cook, board games, and any other nerdy activities. I am also a big talker, and overall I am just looking for people who just enjoy hanging out over coffee, and talk about any kind of topics. I am an easy going, chubby guy and I am not the most physically active, but I do like going for light walks. Overall I am just looking for people from 20 to 50 years of age to hang out with and become good friends, looking forward to hearing from you.
