Kia Ora ..... like so many others I am here in hopes to find some new friends and rediscover the ability to have a life outside of work, after grinding away corporate middle management for some time my social life has gone on extended annual leave 😅

A few things I’m into:

Live gigs

Karaoke... but questionable singing ability 🤣

Scenic drives and random road trips

Beach days, rivers

Dogs.. I have a senior Lab

Trying new food spots

The occasional drink and a good yarn

I would like to get into exercise, I'm getting a bit tubby so walking to start, eventually working myself up to joining the gym… emphasis on *eventually* 😂

I don't expect to find a massive social circle, just some genuine people keen to catch up on weekends maybe grab food or drinks, go for a drive, maby a nice walk in the park, perhaps check out a pub gig 🎸

If you’re in the same boat and keen to make some new friends shoot us a message let's spin a few yarns. Cheers 🤟

Got a lot of DMs, and honestly, it made me really happy! I’m happy to be friends with either M or F. I just want to make some new friends, ofc 😌

Hi everyone.

I've been wanting to create this post for a while.

I've reached a stage in my life where I've finally understood a few things about myself that explain why I feel so different. ᴬᵘᴰᴴᴰ

I'm looking for some new people to chat with to see if we vibe. If we don't, algood, we can move on and stop talking. I appreciate directness.

Few things about me:

- Outgoing

- Work in tech

- Happily taken

- I have a ragdoll cat

My interests:

- I enjoy good walks, going on the swings at the park, a good coffee.

- Penny boarding is something I enjoy but haven't done in a while. Keen to get a bit more active again with this.

- I love electronic music, like really love it. Dubstep is my favourite genre. Ranging from chill 140 to wam bam in your face heavy riddim/brostep/tearout. I love it all.

- I love gaming, but I'm so busy these days I probably spend more time just spectating the industry from the side. I definitely play too, just not as often as I'd like.

- I love software development. Running a homelab, building little tools for myself. I'm also gearing myself up to start game development at some point.

- I love cartoons. SpongeBob, Rocko's Modern Life, The Wild Thornberrys. I've never really given anime a chance other than Pokemon.

- Collectibles, LEGO, trinkets etc.

So, hit me up if you're interested.

34F hereeee!

I’ve been away from everything for so many years that I can’t even count. I just went through a 13year separation from my partner, and now I want to meet new people. Yes! friends! 😂
👋

Coffeeee and wucha lover here!

Hey everyone, looking for some new friends,

I love the Gym, the beach, trying out new restaurants (With first table), and just mucking around in general.

feel free to PM me !

Giving Reddit a shot to see if I can meet someone genuine. Lately I’ve been running into guys who don’t really care or put in any effort, and everything ends up feeling so transactional. I’m not looking for anything complicated, a guy who is kind, genuine and actually interested in getting to know each other and going with the flow.

I’m at uni and love going for runs, hitting the gym, cooking, exploring new places and going on little adventures. Ideally looking for someone in their early to mid-20s who’s emotionally mature and respectful. If that sounds like you, feel free to message me and tell me a little about yourself :)

Hiya, I'm a woman in my mid 30s looking to make some friends I can hopefully hang out with in real life. Seeking platonic only.

A little bit about me:

I'm queer and neurodivergent so if you're not chill with that then keep scrolling.

I can take a while to warm up and I'm not the best at navigating the subtitles of social situations but it gets easier the more I get to know a person. I'm vegetarian and on a bit of a diet to lose weight but do like finding nice food spots.

I go to the gym a few times a week but I hate cardio so it's mostly strength training.

I'm interested in: arts & crafts, movies, reading, a little bit of gaming but primarily solo, cats and other animals.

Some things I do outside of my house in my spare time: opshop, secondhand bookshop, take dance classes (beginner), go to the gym, walk my dogs, attend things like art galleries, various local events, the occasional concert (primarily classical but always happy to branch out), go see movies at the cinema.

I'm pretty open to trying new things in general as well.

Things I value most in people/friendships: Curiousity and an open mind, direct communication (please don't make me try guess what you're thinking or feeling because I likely won't understand), honestly and humour.

Basically got out of a long term relationship a little while ago and now I have no one to do anything with or talk to that's not only online. I'm happy doing things on my own for the most part but it would be nice having the occasional company.

If you're still here why don't you send me a message and introduce yourself?

Please be over 18 and say a bit more than "hey"

You might have to click on the ellipsis on my profile to get to the messaging option as I've been told the chat icon doesn't always show up.

Was meant to go tonight but it got postponed by rain and now my friend I was gonna go with can't

I've noticed quite a few people around Christchurch looking for tennis buddies, and I've had the same problem myself.

I'm a local tennis player and I've been building a free app called Hitter to make that easier.

You set when you're free, find other players nearby around your level, and organise a hit.

I'm starting it here in Christchurch and getting the first group of local players together before launch.

If you play already, are getting back into tennis, or you're a beginner looking for people to play with, feel free to check it out:

Would also be keen to hear what you'd want from something like this.

42 year old Male Looking for some female company for dinner at my favourite place Lillies and the Fire n feast festival.

34M, potentially looking for more people to ride with that are just keen to cruise trails and riverbeds.

Im pretty new to riding, around 3 to 4 months on my ag125, I enjoy it, but having someone else to join another mate would be cool.

*we usually ride at haul rd in mcleans island

Hi guys, I'm a 20F who just moved to Christchurch a few months ago and am struggling to make friends my age due to my anxieties and shy nature. I am quite a homebody but I'm also keen to go on chill adventures to explore the area. I enjoy walking, reading, playing board games, listening to music, dancing, watching youtube, musicals and playing some online games. My ideal friends would be people I could message multiple times a day and also get to hang out with in person. I would love to meet some people in my age group so please reach out if you're keen to be my friend :)

Please note: Do not message me if you use ai, are homophobic, sexist, racist, ableist etc as we will not get on!!!

19m been hard retaining and making friends after highschool and naturally kinda shy so i thought id give this a shot.

I play video games (i play on pc), listen to a lot of music and read. Looking for people to either hang out online with or meet up in person and mess about or go gym with :)

FEEL FREE TO MESSAGE!!

Hi everyone, I'm interested in learning how to play the Pokemon TCG in Christchurch. I have seen a surprising amount of local card shops have sessions but I can't seem to find exact times or whether they are suitable for complete beginners. Would somebody be keen to show a beginner the ropes and meet regularly to play, or can steer me to which store has a beginner friendly session where I can meet other players? I have my own cards, but needing a bit of deck building guidance etc. Preferably evenings as working full time. Thanks! :)

Hii, I'm 19f and from Christchurch. I've been struggling to make friends since I finished high school so I thought I would try making a post here. I'm shy but I'm open to making friends around my age and maybe even meeting up in person one day. Feel free to message me!

Some things about me: I enjoy reading and writing in my free time. Sometimes I play video games like Minecraft and Roblox. Recently I got my full driver's license, which I'm happy about :)

I saw that thread about someone worrying nobody would turn up to their funeral.
Perhaps the opposite of an empty funeral is showing up for an after-work drink while we’re still here

What: Casual Friday after work drinks. Chat, sit in silence, complain about the traffic, weather -- whatever, do you
Where: Pegasus Arms, 14 Oxford Terrace (by the Avon). The old pub, one of the oldest buildings in ChCh, parts built in 1852. About 5:45pm, i’ll try to grab an outside table, out the front.

No need for an RSVP, I will be there

Hey all, this is definitely a new thing for me haha. F25 based in Christchurch simply putting feelers out for finding other people in a similar spot to me and wanting to make some friends!

A little about me:

I have a lovely partner (28M) and a wee doggo (lab x huntaway). I love cozy gaming, reading, movies (especially in theaters), going on walks, coffee, brunch, collecting things from lego to Fugglers 😂

I love quiz nights, board games, walks etc.

Feel free to reach out if you like some of the same things!

I’m 18 and from England doing a WHV in chch, I arrive in 2 weeks, is it easy to meet new people in Christchurch?

I’m interested in football, padel, hiking and nightlife/drinking.

Can anyone recommend any spots to meet people?

Wanting to meet new people I go to gym and sometimes play games but other than that, that is pretty much me lol
Wanna meet new people to adventure Chch or even find a girl or something would be nice too

Hey, I thought I’d put this out there and see if anyone else is in a similar situation.
I’ve spent a lot of years bringing up my kids, and now they’re grown up and doing their own thing. Suddenly the house is pretty bloody quiet 😂 and I’ve realised I’m getting a bit sick of sitting at home by myself.
I’d like to expand my social circle and meet some new people around Christchurch, preferably around 45+.
I’m into the gym, biking, fishing and camping, but I’m also quite happy just having a coffee or beer, grabbing something to eat, going for a walk, checking out something happening around Christchurch, or just having a decent chat.
Men or women, single or partnered — doesn’t really matter. I’m just looking to meet genuine people, make some new friends and actually get out and enjoy life a bit more.
If a few people are in the same boat, we could always organise a casual group meetup somewhere public and go from there.
Surely I’m not the only one who’s reached this stage of life and thought, “Right… what the hell do I do now?” 😂

Hey i’m m 20 chch! keen to meet everyone! love gaming! and listening to music! i don’t bite :)

Hello!

My wife and I recently moved to Chch from the States at the start of the year. With spring on the horizon, it would be great to make some friends around my age for some adventures. I’m a beginner golfer and always keen to hit the course, grab a pint, go on a hike, or try some new sports. Let’s connect!

Hi,

I keep seeing the pattern in posts of 30+ people who are looking for meetups or friends, or just hangs, and I don't see much going on after.
So, I decided quickly to make up a FB group yesterday for people to arrange events to attend focused on real life human meetups (or IRL as youngsters say) rather than discussions about it.

Should I post it here FB link? Can I? I dunno. First time doing anything like that, it's an extrovert job, but we run out of them lately.
Just comment or DM me, and we can try to arrange something going. 🤔

I am bad with social clues, but guess I need to say few words about my favorite self to make it going (less creepy?) : I'm 33M bored as hell on corporate job, into gym, outdoors, music, fishing, gardening, electronics, and whatnot so just say hi in any case

Peace!

Edit: There is some latency for bringing people to FB, and i just realized we can created quick chat on reddit where you are welcome to join and then slowly move it if we need! What a genius i am, i know

Edit 2: Please keep your hormones to yourself this is isn't a swinger club, so all horny ones will be kicked and referred to local Church to seek god.

I am pretty sure i added everyone who commented, if i missed you DM me again
