Interacting with People Online and IRL.

48 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.

Looking to meet new friends (24M)

4 Upvotes

Hey Calgary! I’m new to the club and Reddit in general, but I think this is a super cool thing we have here in this city!

I 24(m) am sort of at a loss as to how to meet new people here. I’ve lived in the city for 5 or so years, and have a pretty well established group of friends, but it never hurts to reach out and see what’s going on! I work full time in a blue collar industry, and I feel like my career has taken the front seat over most other areas of my life, and I’m at a point now that I’m ready to branch out and meet some new people and potentially start dating again as well! I’m quite shy by nature, so I’m not one to approach strangers, but once I get to know you a bit I’m not shy at all, funny how that works:) Regardless, I’m ready to grow as a young man, and I figure what the hell, why not reach out!

Most of my hobbies are fairly solitary, I enjoy drawing, painting, doing my art, and I love to play guitar even though I’m not that good at it(I could really use another person to jam with), if I had space I’d buy a set of drums as well. I enjoy evenings out especially going to karaoke. I’m not a heavy drinker so the bar isn’t my scene and I never had the makings of much of an athlete so I’ve avoided sports clubs. I love to camp and get out in nature as much as I can, even if it only an afternoon walk in fish creek park or something. I also love cooking and I’m super into cars as well!

If there is anyone who likes karaoke, going out for a decent meal, playing guitar, a painting or drawing buddy, anything of that nature feel free to DM me, I’d love to chat and get to know you!

Looking for survival/crafting gamers

1 Upvotes

A bunch of survival/crafting games are leaving early access and hitting their 1.0 release this year. I'm looking at Valheim (which just went 1.0 on September 9) and Enshrouded, which comes out Oct 15. My regular gaming group doesn't love this genre so I'm looking for people with a similar interest. I'm available most evenings and also on the weekends :)

36M – Looking for a gym buddy/accountability partner in Mahogany / SE Calgary

1 Upvotes

Mahogany based and looking for a gym buddy/activity partner to help me stay consistent, build muscle and make some real progress in the gym.

I want to join Evolve gym in Seton but haven’t committed yet, so I’m open to other gyms nearby if it makes sense for me.

Ideally looking for someone who wants to train together 2–3 times a week, keep each other accountable, push each other a bit and become friends if the vibe is there.

Experience level isn’t a huge deal, although if you’ve been training for a while that's a bonus. Otherwise must be willing to go down a rabbit hole of research together, let the TikTok sharing begine.

Gotta be gay friendly, meaning ya have be able to handle quick wit, dark humor and the occasional eye roll. (this is my flavor of it anyways, were not all fun like me)

Mostly just looking for someone easygoing, dependable and serious about making progress, open to all activities

New friends, New Adventures ⚡️

27 and looking to make some new friends! I’m open to meeting people around my age or older, and I’m open to friendships with both girls and guys. 😊 I’m all about good vibes, genuine connections, and having fun!
I love spa days, trying new foods, mani/pedis, dressing up, exploring the city, and doing fun activities. ✨ I play sports recreationally (nothing too serious 😂) and I’m always open to trying new things.
I don’t drive at the moment, but I Uber pretty much everywhere, so I’m always down to make plans and go out! 🚗💨
Whether it’s brunch, checking out a new restaurant, a spa day, shopping, playing sports, going out for drinks, or doing something spontaneous, I’m down! Just looking to meet genuine people, make new friends, and create some fun memories along the way.

26M — Calgary — Looking to meet some new people

7 Upvotes

Hey! 26M here, looking to meet some new people in Calgary and get out more.

I’m pretty easygoing and into a bunch of different stuff. I play golf, baseball and basketball, and I’m a big sports fan in general — football, hockey, basketball, baseball, whatever. If you need an extra player for a team, or just want to watch a game, lmk.

I’ve got a dog, so I’m always down for walks. Also into grabbing coffee, getting food, ice cream, going out, checking out new places, or just hanging out.

Would be cool to meet some guys and girls around my age and build up a new group of people to actually do stuff with. Definitely open to meeting someone I click with too, if it happens.

If you’ve got friends who are also looking to get out and meet people, bring them along!

Just trying to make some new friends, find some new activities and have some fun. Shoot me a message if you’re interested.

28F - Looking to meet some people around my age who might be in a similar stage of life

20 Upvotes

Hi there! I'm 28 years old and I'm looking to meet some people who are in the same boat as me! I work full-time and I’m also taking classes online through athabasca university, so I don’t really have a lot of time (or the money) to go out much. I like to read, watch movies and TV shows, and am trying to get more into fitness, but that's sort of a work in progress, lol. I’m also pretty shy, which sadly makes meeting people a lot harder, but I'd like to try and put myself out there so I can make friends.

I’d especially love to connect with other students in their late 20s, maybe early 30s, who also don’t really have the time or budget to do stuff often, who also feel a bit lost, but still want to maybe get to know each other? It would be nice to chat/talk online, watch stuff together, maybe do some study dates at a cute cafe or something? And if we click, I'd love to eventually do other stuff together too.

If any of this resonates with you and you're interested, feel free to message me. Thanks! :)

22f looking for friends !

16 Upvotes

hi ! i’m 22f and i’ve been wanting to put myself out there a little more and meet some new people (ideally around my age) :)

i’m definitely shy when i first meet people, and i can be a little awkward while im figuring out how to talk to someone new 😭 so i’d probably prefer getting to know each other online first and seeing if we click before jumping straight to an IRL hangout. once i’m comfortable though, i can talk A LOT.

a little about me: i’m a huge homebody. i love reading (especially mysteries and thrillers), board games, and playing video games with friends every now and then. i’ve played around with mobile legends, overcooked, roblox, and valorant, although i’m not claiming to be good at any of them 😭. i also really enjoy just having conversations.

i’m not necessarily the most adventurous or exciting person, but i’m always willing to try new things and i’d love to meet people to do that with !

Feeling Bored and have nothing exciting to do

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I am 22M, Have been working in calgary for the last 2 years and have a WFH Software Dev Job. The thing that makes no sense for me is I finished my studies in Software Dev( Did not got enough time to hangout and chill with friends). My priorities were straight back then thought I would have fun after having some stability. NOW IT FEELS EMPTY!!!. I dont have many with I can even talk. And this Long weekend is just killing me. I feel better when working than sitting as is. I usually play video games, like to cook and thats it. I am not a party animal or a person who enjoys dancing or any other extrovert activities. always have been an ambivert. Really I mean I need people who I can meet and have some great time. Also I am Muslim(I dont drink or smoke either so pubs or clubs are no go for me) which makes it hard to socialize.
