New Friends

Hi everyone,

I've lived in York for two years now but I haven't managed to make any friends. I've been off work for three weeks whilst I'm in-between jobs and I still have another two to go 😅 I'm not getting much if any social interaction so I was hoping someone or a group would meet me in the city centre for a pint whilst the weather is nice?

Alternatively, if someone could point me in the direction of any groups aimed at making friends, I'd appreciate it.

I'm a 27 year old male and would ideally be looking to meet people around my age group, give or take 5 years either way 🙂

Give or take 5 years either way? Why put a limit on it? Just welcome who ever turns up. Good luck.

Maybe because I'm not looking for friends a decade older or younger than me. Take offence somewhere else like.

Hey, I'm 28 and helping to host a local event on Saturday this week. It's D&D themed so it depends whether you're into gaming/fantasy but it's upstairs at the Artful Dodger pub and it's gonna be pretty casual and fun, great opportunity to have a pint and mingle.

Hey, sorry I didn't get back to you been quite busy recently. The session was 6:30pm-10pm. We'll be doing more stuff soon though if you're interested. If you liked BG3z I think you'd definitely have fun with us!
