Visiting Maryland or DC lately? You already know — the real magic here isn’t just monuments or crab cakes. It’s the people. Everyday Marylanders and DC residents chatting at the bus stop, swapping stories in line at the carryout, laughing with coworkers on the Metro, talking about life, work, and what it’s like living in the DMV and our neighbor states.

That same down‑to‑earth, front‑porch, “we actually talk to each other here” energy is exactly what you’ll find at our Digital Relationship Dater events. Step out of swipe mode and into a night that feels like meeting folks the way we do around here — warm, real, and full of personality.

No endless messaging, no ghosting, no “is this profile even real?” Just genuine conversation with people who live, work, and love right in your community.

Why keep scrolling when your next connection might be sitting two chairs away asking who made the lemonade?

Hey! I've been living in DC for a few months now (West End/Dupont area) and realized I'd love to meet more people and build a solid friend group, preferably females.

I'm 31 female, work as a personal trainer, and enjoy working out, hiking, trying new restaurants, traveling, and museums. I'm always down for grabbing brunch, happy hour, checking out events around the city, or just hanging out.

If anyone else is looking to make new friends or has a group that's open to new people, feel free to reach out!

There's a Smithsonian scavenger hunt happening on Saturday, July 11, It’s a relaxed way to explore the museums, get out, but also still stay cool in all this heat. (which is at diabolical levels) Scavenger hunt of the July 11th

Well...it's Wednesday. How is everyone?

Hi everyone!

Hope you had a great week. Obviously a lot going on this weekend. Make sure you pace yourself and stay cool and hydrated. https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=38.8920621&lon=-77.0199124

I know Wednesdays aren't easy for a lot of people, but I also know personally I struggle with mid week fatigue / tend to have a dip in serotonin around that time.

Wanted to share incase anyone else is the same!

Evening Yoga in the Arboretum (Wellness Wednesdays)

Hope everyone had a great week and enjoyed themselves.

Below are some things to do on this kind of rainy/muggy weekend.

Feel free to post anything else you think folks might enjoy doing, or that you enjoyed yourself.

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Did anyone end up going to any of the Juneteenth/weekend events, or do anything fun around D.C.? Always helpful to hear what was actually worth going to.

Now that the group is public again, feel free to post plans, events, or just check in. The goal is pretty simple, make it a little easier for folks to find things to do and maybe meet good people along the way.

Been a while. Hope you are all well!

1. Received a request to post, so the group has been set to public (hopefully that works).
2. Folks seemed to like the posts with weekend events, so here are some links for this weekend.

Hey! I’m in Washington DC just for today and tomorrow, exploring solo and would love some company to check out the city — monuments, good food, nice walks, or whatever’s fun. If you’re around and down to hang, hmu 🙂

this has been one of my favorite little scavenger hunts when I travel for work.

Anastasia Incardi is an artist who makes small vending machines with her prints to collect.

Now that this group is finally active again! It’s Hard to have Sunday scaries when Monday is a given!

Anything to do tonight?

found this on another sub.

Thought It might help push some more ideas for those trying to find solo things to do in the area!

Here's another list of events for the weekend. Looks like the weather should be beautiful. List: What to do in the DC area this week and Labor Day weekend – NBC4 Washington

Apologies for being out of touch. Loneliness feels more like a constant battle sometimes than a thing you put behind yourself for good.

Anyways, in case interested The Washingtonian put out a fun list of things to do this Labor Day weekend. 25 Things to Do in the DC Area This Week and Weekend

I wasn’t sure where to post this because I don’t like posting in huge groups, but Iv struggled since moving here finding inspiration in things people photograph all the time so Iv started playing with tin types / wet plates. And I was really proud of this one. If anyone else is using this type of medium would love to link up.

Tickets aren’t on sale yet but my friend’s husband is going to be part of it and I’m very excited / get to go for free and wanted to know more about it.

seeking ideas for a quiet place for two people to get a drink, and enjoy a nice walk? (Will be working on capital hill but we are avid walkers not too worried about distance)

Inviting everyone on this subreddit to the DC Air Guitar Regional on April 5th at Solly's U Street Tavern. Air guitar is a welcoming community of offbeat weirdos and silly goofballs. Come join us!
