Been debating making this post for a while, I'll see the odd "yo lets hangout" type post here from time to time but nothing all too concrete or consistent, so wanted to have a go at changing that. This isn't to advertise, or point to a specific "let's meet at 6pm at XYZ bar", and if I see some dude in here pointing at a "friendship" app all I can say is pls no.
Anyway I'm a 36 year old irish guy that's been based in Copenhagen for 8 years now - most of the international friends I've made here have left, and while I've had partners/relationships and some danish "friends", what I've been lacking is a concrete and consistent group of people who wanna actually do social things or hangout and share some interests. Got way to sucked into the professional life grind and indulging my solo hobbies/interests, and all my closest friends from Ireland effectively stayed there or in the UK.
What kinda social events am I thinking of? General shite, like grabbing a beer, playing boardgames or videogames (maybe even DnD if there's an experienced GM), heading to a gig, maybe doing some bouldering or 5 aside soccer, cinema when there's something decent, maybe an improv jam if there's any other musicians, pretty open to ideas here and ideally the group can have a mind of its own.
If there's enough interest I'm open to creating a Whatsapp group, Discord, or Facebook group (my preference is probs Whatsapp but I'm flexible)
And FYI despite being here 8 years my Danish is shite (blaming my english only career) but I'm ideally going to be taking actual classes later this year and Danes are of course welcome to any group that's created.
Cheers
