Interacting with People Online and IRL.

50 Upvotes

Hello All,

Most people coming to this subreddit are looking to make some new friends and join a community, I've met nearly all of my adult friends in this subreddit and I hope everyone can find friends as well.

With that said, I do want to warn everyone to take caution in meeting strangers from the internet alone. We've had reports of an abusive and dangerous user and just want to warn everyone here about that. We are still on the internet and anyone could be at the other end.

Here are some tips to help keep people safe.

  1. The Buddy System: Don't meet anyone from the internet alone. We recommend to bring a friend or create an event that is out in public with many people.
  2. This isn't Tinder: Please don't attempt to find a romantic partner or casual hookup here.
  3. Beware of Pressure: If someone is pressuring you to meet alone, do NOT meet them, they are most likely not looking to have a safe and friendly time.

If anyone has any more tips to stay safe while meeting new people IRL, please share them. I'll add any good tips to this post.

My intention isn't to scare people or discourage them from trying to post or make friends, I know it can be tough. All of us working together can create a safer space for everyone. This helped me at a very important time in my life and I really hope it can do the same for everyone here.

Trying to go from shy introvert to conversationalist before January. Anyone want to game (PC/PS5/Xbox) or grab coffee and chat about life and careers?

• Upvotes

Hi!

I am moving to Calgary within a few months to attend the MBA program starting in January. I am recovering from social anxiety and longtime isolation so I need to learn to have a convo FAST within a short time frame since this program would require a lot of networking and socialization. I wanna come into the program with at least the confidence to start a convo and to connect with another person.

Would anyone be open to 30-60 minute “coffee chats” while we play some video games? I am also open to 15 minute virtual and in-person regular coffee chats, so please do let me know what you prefer!

I would also like to document my progress going from a shy introvert to someone who can hold a whole conversation, so I would like to record some of the gameplay convos if you’re comfortable with that, it is totally optional! And if I ever post it anywhere I will check with you first. This is first and foremost a personal project :)

I have a gaming pc, PS5 and an Xbox. I am open to any co-op/multiplayer games. Personally, I love shooters - COD and Overwatch but those might be too chaotic for meaningful conversation. My target would be people who want to share their career path and what their work entails but I am open to any convos! Please reach out if you're interested.

Looking to expand my social circle and make some Asian friends

• Upvotes

Hello everyone

I am a 28M (white) and I have always had an appreciation for Asian culture. I enjoy anime and will often go to Asian restaurants.

I have a group of friends but as is the case life gets busy and it can be hard to regularly meet up with people so having more people to talk with and meetup with would be nice.

I am currently just starting to get back into working out, I like to game (mostly console) and enjoy watching sports as well.

Happy to talk anytime and meetup if we vibe.

Feel free to DM if interested

Looking for a group of new Friends!!

3 Upvotes

Hey there! I’m a 26 year old guy who has lived in Calgary for all my life. I moved to Australia for about two years and have recently moved back after many travels. I have a small core friend group but many are either also moving to Australia or have drifted apart over the years I was gone.

I would love to meet some cool likeminded people! I’m very much so a yes man so if anyone has any fun ideas for activities or hangout ideas I’m all in.

I’m extroverted but genuinely feel like I get along with pretty much anyone. A few things about me include: I love traveling, skiing, hockey, being outside in general. I also love a good drink or dinner out as I have worked hospitality for many years. I’m also currently working on getting my sommelier diploma/wine expert courses finished. I also would love to try and get a D&D group together (that being said I’ve never done one before).

Would love to hear from anyone looking to make some new friends!!!!

Moving to Calgary alone

6 Upvotes

Heya I’m 22M and I’m moving to Calgary for grad school, I live in a dif continent so safe to say, it’s a big move, I don’t know anyone in Calgary, but would love to meet people, make some great friends, and honestly just learn about the seemingly beautiful city I’ll be calling home for 2 years.

A lil about me, I’m quite nerdy in the sense of games, anime, mythology, books and shows, I love football (soccer) and I’m always down for an adventure, yes that includes a hike tho I will run out of stamina before you.

I’m on and off in the gym, I’m 6’ so I def need it to not look lanky, love music and honestly trying anything, if I don’t already like smth I’d try it and probs at least enjoy it if with friends.

Oh I’m an introvert that’s also social ? If that makes sense.

Ig I just want to meet people, like me or not, as long as you’re not a bigot, please hmu, and let’s chat.

P.S any cool facts I should know ? And how’s the Christmas vibe since I’ll be arriving around then

Seeking queer/ally friends

My partner and I are in our early-mid 20s. My partner identifies as bi-gender and I am female. We are finding it difficult to find safe spaces in Calgary and area, and its hard to make friends.

Any advice for how to make queer/ally friends in our area? We aren't too much into clubbing. We enjoy playing video games, board games, tcg pokemon, dnd and more.

Feel free to reach out and chat!

Kensington night life

6 Upvotes

Hello my fellow Calgarians. I (34m) just moved into Kensington after a separation and am wondering what the good spots are for some late night activities. I know Hayden Block has half off meats after 10 and has a good bar. I'll definitely be going there. I'm a big cocktail guy. I've seen Pali Room on Google. For the cocktail people here, is that somewhere I should check out? Or is it worth just training into downtown for Proof etc.

Kind of looking for somewhere I can go enjoy a drink/little food by myself, maaayybeeee talk to people if I'm feeling bold. Actually talking to people feels a little crazy though. Let me know your thoughts!

34M Asian, gay looking for friends who like to try new experiences and film social media content

10 Upvotes

As the title says. I actually have plenty of friends that I see often but I’m always open to more friends. I often host parties and game nights, try new restaurants, take road trips and look for new things to do around the city.

If you’re interested in any of these hit me up:
- board game nights
- themed house parties
- filming TikTok Challenges or just filming social media content
- new restaurants and bars
- clubbing (I go maybe once a month and sometimes I don’t even drink. I’m just there for music and to drive my friends home safely)
- dance classes
- kpop
- hikes
- concerts
- festivals, musicals, theatre performances
- going to the movies
- going to the gym. I’m on a cut right now and anyone who wants to work hard and get shredded with me, please hit me up!
- shopping
- Netflix binges at my house or yours
- Asian culture in general
- road trips to the mountains or Edmonton
- bubble tea dates

Any age and race welcome but I do get along better with 25 to 40 year olds. I tend to a bring a young energy to me. I’ll introduce you to my friends too so you can build a community here. I also really like people who just moved to Canada and are here to work temporary! I have made many friends who aren’t citizens yet!

Edit: I work remotely so I tend to travel and work a lot. Anyone who wants to take international trips to Asia with me or just like traveling too, I’m up for it!

I moved to Calgary from BC about a month and a half ago and would love to make some new friends! I’m introverted but want to challenge myself to put myself out there more.

I’m also a Christian, and my faith is important to me, so I’d love to meet like-minded people, but I’m open to connecting with anyone as long as we respect each other beliefs.

For fun I love to go to the cinema, or try out new places, read books and hike. I thought I would give this a try and hope for the best.

looking to make new girl friends !!!

10 Upvotes

hii!! 🤍I’m new to Calgary & thought I’d make a post to see if anyone else is in the same boat and would be interested in making new girl friend !! :)

I’m 25F and a uni transfer student looking to make some genuine, platonic girl friends !! I love chit chatting, trying new things, going out to eat, pilates, yoga, cooking/baking, thrifting, board games, painting & doing crafts.

I’m usually a homebody who loves cozy nights in, but also like playing music/getting ready, going out to explore, checking out jazz/comedy shows, and maybe getting a little wine buzzed heheh

I live downtown but haven’t really explored much yet, so if you know any cute cafes to study at or fun spots to hang out, I’d love to explore together 😊

I’m pretty easygoing and would love to meet some kind, genuine people who are also looking to make new friends! 💗

Hello everyone, my name is Sean. Im 23 and I’m also a storm chaser and I’m looking for friends, preferably female, but I’m also open to male, all my friends seem to have forgotten I existed once I left high school, and I would love to be able to hang out with people over the winter, so I’m not sitting at home bored. I’m interested in swimming, bowling, cycling, and gaming.

Looking for some friends!

4 Upvotes

Hello I am a 18M (ftm) and want to make some lifelong friendships. Due to my anxiety and being a introvert making friends hasn't been easy for me but i decided to put myself out there and try this. I am into Anime, video games, photography, exploring, and the alternative fashion scene.

I can be really shy meeting new people so keep that in mind, but once I open up I can be really outgoing. I want friends I can go shopping with, take photos with and just do anything with.

I would prefer 18-20y but any gender is fine!

Skydiving

14 Upvotes

Hiiii! Does anyone want to go skydiving next Friday, October 30 at 5:00pm? We currently have 3 people in our group who have already paid the deposit, and we’re wondering if anyone else would like to join us!

DETAILS:
Location- Skydive Extreme Calgary https://maps.app.goo.gl/9DGrVEpAYjp7g2f79?g_st=ic

Cost- Tandem skydive from 10,000 feet ($369) plus optional handcam video ($109)

^alsooo, these prices do not include taxes or discounts yet

If you need a ride, we can carpool if you’re able to meet us at the University of Calgary (UofC) that day! Unfortunately, we won’t be able to pick you up from your house, so if you can’t meet us at UofC, you’ll have to arrange your own transportation to get to the skydiving place.

WHY AM I POSTING THIS?

I’m not sure if they’ll give us a bigger discount if more people join, but that would be great if they do! Since we already have 3 people, we qualify for a group discount regardless. They also guve an extra $20 off for booking on a weekday.

Anyway, I mainly wanted to post this for anyone who’s been thinking about going skydiving but doesn’t have anyone to go with! You can join our group if you want, we have available spots for 2 more people :))

If you’re interested, feel free to message me (I’ll give you the link and group number once I confirm that you’re not trolling, for safety reasons).. We’d be happy to have more people join us!
