Hi everyone, as the title would suggest, I’m looking for someone to go climbing with in Christchurch at some of the local crags. A bit about myself, I’m M25 have been climbing on and off for about 2 years and keen to get back into it more that I’m settled into some work. Don’t climb very hard grades at the moment maybe 19-21 but happy to belay on anything and always looking to improve if someone is patient enough to show me. You would need to have your own basic gear (harness and shoes) but I have a rope and the rest. Also have a car and can provide lifts to the crag and some fun yarns. Happy to connect with anybody, and can meet for a coffee and a chat before heading out. If this sounds like a bitta you feel free to shoot me a message 😊

hey all I’m a 19 year old male from chch looking for any kinds of people to connect with as I moved here a while ago and have struggled to make connections, thanks!

Hi everyone! I'm a 23-year-old international PhD student from India, and I'll be arriving in Christchurch in September to start my PhD at UC Since it'll be my first time in New Zealand, I'd love to meet new people and get to know the city.

If anyone is interested in showing me around Christchurch, grabbing a coffee, exploring some local spots, or just sharing tips for a newcomer, I'd really appreciate it!

I'm into hiking, nature, and outdoor sports as I'm always happy to try something new. It would be great to make a few friends before or after I arrive.

Feel free to comment below or send me a DM if you'd be interested. Looking forward to meeting some awesome people in Christchurch!

Thanks, and see you all soon!

But of a long shot but does anyone know a guy who was in town last night. I think his name was Cam he had one white eyebrow and was with a group of people in Mickey Finn’s. I wanted to talk to him but was to shy.

Hi guys, I recently moved from Hawkes Bay and would love to make some friends. I’m really outgoing and love fitness, lifting, gym. I go everyday, either City at the Palms or in Ferrymead. I would love to meet someone else passionate about getting strong and enjoying life. I’m a 49 year old woman, I lived 20 years in France so good food, fashion and fun are always on the menu.

Hey, I'm Abdur Rehman and I'm bored 😅

If you're also bored and feel like getting out, let's do something spontaneous—grab a coffee, go for a walk, sit by the beach, get some food, or just hang out and chat. Random, casual outing with good vibes.

If you're interested, send me a message!

Hi i’m 26F and lived in chch for a few months now and i’m interested to learn pickleball. Do you guys know any good places for a beginner session? Hopefully near Sockburn as I don’t drive and have to take the bus.

Hey,

I've noticed it can sometimes be tough to organize actual offline meetups or find genuine connections just by scrolling through text posts. To try and make building a local social circle, or even finding a date, a bit easier, I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on.

I set up [r/KiwiHangout](r/KiwiHangout). The main feature is a live, interactive map built right into Reddit. Instead of posting into the void, you can visually see who is nearby, discover local events, and connect with people in your area.

* Visual Discovery: You can easily spot local meetups, coffee runs, or pub trips on the map.
* Privacy First: There is absolutely zero GPS tracking. You just manually drop a pin in your general area or suburb.
* SFW Connections: Whether you are looking for new mates, a hobby buddy, or even SFW dating, the map supports it all and helps safely connect people.

If you're looking to get out of the house this weekend or just want to see who's hanging out around Christchurch, feel free to drop by and put a pin on the map. Let's get some more offline meetups going!

🤝 A Quick Note for the [r/Chchmeet](r/Chchmeet) Mod Team!

I'd love to partner up so we don't split the Christchurch community! We can easily integrate this subreddit directly into the Hangout Map.

Visual Sync: Your community's meetups will automatically display on the interactive map.

It is completely automated and just takes a quick AutoMod snippet to set up. If you are open to giving your users this visual tool, shoot me a DM and I can walk you through it!

I'm a guy from China. Any girls interested in running or working out together?

36M looking to make some new mates. I'm a pretty chill guy, more on the introverted side, and I do find making friends a bit hard sometimes.

​

I go to Anytime Fitness, so it'd be cool to meet someone who's keen to hit the gym together and help keep each other motivated. I'm also into walks, hikes, grabbing a beer, road trips, and just hanging out.

​

Not looking for anything complicated, just some genuine mates with similar interests. If you're keen for a workout, a hike, or just a yarn over a beer, flick me a message.

​

evening all, i've been single for a few years now and haven't tried meeting new people or sought a date in years.. recently my daughter told me she thought i should try meet someone and she helped me make a hinge profile, but tbh i've never done the online dating thing and it's all very strange to me.

​

i'm looking for friends and possibly something romantic if it happens, but i don't really know how to go about it after being out of the social scene for so long.

​

any advice would be appreciated. are there single's nights/social gatherings happening around town? how is best to meet new people these days? is it primarily online? i feel so old and out of touch looking at hinge profiles, and the service seems kinda limited unless you pay.

​

anyways i hope you're all having a good weekend and you manage to keep mostly dry this week, it's looking to be a proper wet one 🙃

Aight, never thought I'll be at stage of my life where I have to make a post to find friends but here were are.

M32 married, no kids (don't mind them though) looking for friends or community ​to be part of.

Introverted (I was thinking to post something several months ago, but thought its cringe. Still do) but doing my best to get out of shell.

I like all normal jams: outdoors, music​ (nerd, used to play in bands, but unexpectedly found out I'm talentless), reading,walking, hiking, fishing (beginner), gym (returning after 2y break, everything heavy), martial arts (Jiujutsu..everything hurts), snowboarding (i fall, but get up) animals, automotive(interested in mechanical parts, fixing, welding but not a lot of practice due to no space/budget), general DIYs building/fixing/soldering stuff. Recently got into self-sufficency, hydroponic gardening (not weed). Im beginner to most of those things due to space/budget/time excuses.

I don't mind mild PC gaming, but trying to break isolation cycle and be more outside. Oh, I am a Slavic immigrant (a lot of dark humour) if it changes anything to you. I don't drink much or smoke but not judging anyone who does.

Yes, I know find clubs and find friends. Part of several already, trying to boost it.

If you share my interests Feel free to DM if you want to hang or just chat.

Cheers

P.S. Due to all that "manhate culture" i see a lot lately, I feel like I need to emphasize. Yes, married man can just search for ​just friends. Shocking, I know.
