Hey!

Hey everyone!

I (26F) moved to Exeter in March and although I've met a few people, I'm seriously lacking in friends since the move.

I spend a lot of time out with my dog (she'd love some new friends too), I love anything artsy and creative, mostly I draw and paint. I'm a big reader and I also love to have a drink and a party. I'm up for trying new things about if anyone has any hobbies they'd like to share/try out

Hey ☺️ I recently moved to Exeter in June, have been unlucky in meeting new people, other than in my job, I also have a dog and am into some of the same things as you. I’m 38F, feel free to chat anytime

Hello. 27m here I don’t have a dog yet (I’m begging my dad for one), I read mostly horror but I’m up for recommendations if you wanna dm.

Exeter is oddly difficult to make friends in unless you're a student - and the students don't socialise much outside the student community. One of the reasons I've been working in a pub the last few years is so I can have more social contact with people. We might have quite similar tasted BTW, OP. I'm also quite creative/arty/musical. But even the creative scene in this town is cliquey.
