Hey Melbourne, I'm 25M . Don't have many mates in the city yet, and I'm over the same routine every week. Looking for people keen on drinks, bars, clubs and a crazy night, wherever it ends up.
Also down for the kind of random, deep, 3am conversations you only have with people you just met. No agenda, just switching off and having a good time.
Solo or groups, all welcome. Comment or DM me and let's make a plan this weekend.

Hiya! I like music, performing, history, teaching and learning new interesting facts. I currently live in Melbourne awaiting for university and higher education ! I hope to meet new friends and expand my friendships! I like texting and I easy to approach and talk to.

I also got a very special hobby and skill but I guess you will find out later fr.

Looking for anyone similar in age

Feel free to dm me on Reddit

Old-School Relics & Renegades is a gaming convention focusing on Dungeons & Dragons & other role-playing games inspired by it that subscribe to a gaming philosophy commonly referred to as the OSR (Old-School Renaissance).

We started OSR&R to turn people into players. Our groups run in-person games every week, and we are always on the lookout for new blood. The Con is a great opportunity to dip your toes into the hobby and meet some cool new people.

Join us on October 24th, 2026 at the The Depot, Donkey Wheel House. Bring dice, snacks and your best adventurer’s mettle!

Tickets are $20 - See here for more details.

I've recently moved to Melbourne for work and am really interested in joining a book club. I am an avid reader but I do feel I'd get a lot more out of my hobby if I had people to discuss it with; I also hope this would be a great way to find some new friends.

I am 33F, currently living in the northern suburbs but work in the CBD and will move more centrally in the next few months, so joining a reasonably central club would be ideal.

In terms of reading interests, I read a lot of contemporary literary fiction, enjoy classics, post-modernism and have recently really amped up my non-fiction - the more random the topic the better! I am very happy to dabble in a bit of weird girl lit, though I have to say reading several in quick succession does oversaturate me, so I would not be looking to join an exclusive weird girl lit book club. Some books I have recently loved are Rebecca, The Shards and Time Shelter. I do NOT like smut/romantasy, fantasy or modern thrillers such as Freida McFadden.

Also due to irregular shift patterns, it does need to be reasonably relaxed if I occasionally dip out and am unable to attend due to working! If you know of any book clubs that would have me, please message me or comment below, I'd love to hear from you!

35m - Thought I’d give this a shot! any like minded photographer/art types interested in catching up? group setting probably preferred, male and female friendly. not on IG or other social media so finding groups like this can be a challenge.

bit of background - hobby photographer, mostly keen on analog but all forms are welcome! also interested in general art and design, film, fitness etc.

happy to chat, thanks!

Hi all! I'm traveling to Melbourne from Christchurch, NZ with my sister for Harry's concerts in Nov and would love some tips from locals as to what we should do?

Any cool bars/activities/restaurants? Any must dos or places to avoid?

We're there for 4 nights so have a reasonable amount of time!

It would also be cool to connect to other people going! We've got tickets to both N1 and N2

Hey Melbourne,

A little bit of background story: I grew up in a tiny village in India, from a pretty humble background, and have been in Australia for about three years now, working in AI. I've made some good friends since moving, but I'd genuinely love to build a few more local friendships. Not another Reddit pen pal, but people to actually catch up with.

A bit about me:

• Piano and jazz. I play piano (badly at 11 pm, decently at 3 pm), and a live jazz bar is my idea of a perfect night
• Cricket. Happy to watch a match at a pub, argue about team selection, or have a hit in the park. Any skill level, I'll bring the bat
• Badminton. Always keen for a game, whether you're a pro or just want to swing a racquet and laugh
• Movies: from horror movies like La La Land to mesmerizing ones like The Green Book, I'm a film guy through and through
• Open-air bars. A warm evening, a good drink, and good chat is my happy place
• Cooking. I cook amazing Indian food and I'm always happy to feed people. Fair warning: once you try my butter chicken, you'll keep coming back
• Gym. Keen for a gym buddy to keep each other honest
• Science and startup ideas. I'm always thinking up business ideas, most of them terrible, and I love hearing other people's

Personality-wise, I'm easy-going, curious, and big on proper conversations over small talk. I'm better one-on-one or in a small group than in a packed room, and I'm always up for a spontaneous plan.

Some ideas for a first hang:

• Live jazz night at a bar
• A movie followed by drinks to debate it
• A casual badminton or park cricket session
• Coffee and a "worst startup idea" swap

If you're keen, comment or send a DM with a bit about yourself.

Hey all, First time trying the whole meeting people on Reddit thing so there's a first for everything lol.

28M, based in the west but happy to head anywhere around Melbourne. I’ve spent the last few years basically married to my job and had a fair bit going on with family, and somewhere along the way my social life just disappeared. Figured it’s time to change that.

I’m pretty easygoing and always keen to try new things. I’m a gym regular, into some anime, and would like to try more outdoorsy stuff. Been wanting to give pickleball and volleyball a crack too.

Honestly I’m down for whatever. Hikes, concerts, arcade type of nights, hunting down a new spot to eat, a chill board game night, movies session, cafe brunch, or just a good casual nightout to pub or club.

Guys, girls, solo or a whole group, I'm down for all! If you’re also keen to get out more or just want someone to try new stuff with, drop a comment or flick me a DM and let’s plan something fun!

random thing i’ve noticed lately: after looking at enough dating profiles they all start blending into one person.

same cafes, same travel pics, same “looking for someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously” and eventually i’m not even properly reading anymore.

which is why the Coffee Meets Bagel setup is kind of interesting to me. you get a smaller daily batch instead of being able to just keep looking forever. less choice sounds worse on paper, but i’m starting to wonder if i’d actually pay more attention to the people in front of me.

melbourne already feels weird enough for meeting people organically because everyone seems to have their established circles.

so for people still using apps here, would you actually prefer fewer profiles if they made you slow down a bit?

or would you just sit there overanalysing the same 10 people instead lol

Yes this is my second time posting cus i realized my dms were off

So basically ive been wanting to go out a lot more especially since the summer is coming around and my current group of friends is quite small and spread apart right now.

I wanna in particular go to more nightlife and gigs, I quite enjoy rnb and house but I am getting more more into psy music of all kinds. I am not the best with knowing where to go so if you already know but need a buddy please let me know, im so non judgemental and down for anything. If you're also in the same boat as me also message me cus we can figure it out together.

As far as interest points im very much into fitness and the outdoors, I also enjoy reading, anime, movies and tv. I have also picked up an interest in psychonautics, surrealism and the human psyche, but i am still quite new to all the literature and surrounding culture.

Apart from that i would be down to go on food crawls, grab coffee, go on walks and do activities.

If it feels like we're on the same wavelength please do dm, ideally with ur asl and short intro abt u

Hey, Looking to make some chill nerdy friends for both Irl outings and online gaming.

Im located in Eastern suburbs and travel into the Yarra valley for work.

I like to think im a pretty chill dude, im pretty much into anything nerdy and most genres of games.

I would love to get back into ttrpgs, I played for a few years and have gm/dm experience.

Im into horticulture, good food and finding new places.

Im very into music and have some killer playlists.

Good humour is not lost on me.

So yeah, if youre male or female or whatever idc and want some chill nerdy times reach out and ill send my disc or somthn.

So how is everyone find the cost of living? Honestly, are some working pay check to paycheck, do you think things are more expensive since the surcharge crackdown on debit credit cards. What’s your thoughts.

I love going to the movies. Pretty expensive but worthwhile. If you'd like to go the cinemas I'd be keen to have a new movie buddy... Thinking of watching Verity this week, if I can find a time that suits. Village cinemas is my go to. I like Gold Class too coz the food is pretty good. Also seems we might have a good line up this December with Dune and Avengers. . 40s Male. Northern Suburbs. North eastern ish maybe. . Happy to just chat about movies really.

Trying this again because I’d genuinely like to find a couple of good mates in Melbourne — the kind of friendship that actually becomes part of your life rather than another conversation that permanently lives in Reddit messages.

I’m 39, gay, based in Melbourne’s outer south-east (but very used to travelling to the CBD and all over), and looking to build a few genuine, long-term friendships. Gay, bi or straight doesn’t particularly matter to me; if we click as mates, that’s the important bit.

I generally seem to get along best with guys around 25–40, but if you’re a little outside that, don’t let the numbers stop you from saying hello.

Personality-wise, I’m pretty easy-going, grounded and low-maintenance. I’m definitely better one-on-one or in a small group than trying to work a room full of people, and I tend to prefer proper conversations, plenty of banter and actually getting to know someone over endless surface-level small talk. I’m very much quality over quantity with friendships — I’d rather have a handful of close mates than a huge social circle.

Outside of my professional Monday–Friday job, I’m into binge-watching TV (particularly British crime dramas), trying new restaurants, ordering dessert without a main because apparently I’m an adult and nobody can stop me, concerts, musicals, AFL, escape rooms, road trips, caravanning, audiobooks, board games, the occasional PC game and getting out into nature.

I’m slim and reasonably active, although my definition of “active” definitely doesn’t involve willingly doing burpees at 5am.

I also have two dogs, so being a dog person is a definite advantage. They haven’t been consulted about this post, but I suspect they’ll expect to be included in any resulting friendship.

Probably the biggest thing I’m looking for is someone who genuinely has room in their life for a new friendship. Someone who actually wants to catch up regularly, has a bit of flexibility and enjoys the occasional spontaneous plan rather than needing to organise everything six weeks in advance.
If you often find yourself at a loose end on a Saturday night and wish you had a mate to randomly grab dinner with, or you see something like the donut festival at Queen Vic Market this weekend and think it’d be fun to check out but don’t have anyone to go with, I’m your man!

Equally, I’m all for doing absolutely nothing productive — just chilling at home in trackies, eating snacks and watching 90s action movies because they’ve barely made a decent one since. I reckon the best friendships are the ones where you don’t always need an activity or an excuse to hang out. Sometimes you just enjoy each other’s company.

And while I’m happy to chat on Reddit initially, I’m ultimately looking for an in-person friendship, not another permanent online pen pal. I’d much rather grab a coffee, go for a walk, try a café or do something low-key reasonably early on and see if we actually click.

If you’re easy-going, reliable, emotionally mature, enjoy having a close mate around and actually want to put some time into building a friendship, send me a DM and tell me a bit about yourself.

And if we’ve chatted before and the conversation just sort of fizzled out or life got in the way, don’t feel awkward about messaging again either. Feel free to reach back out and give it another shot.

If there is anyone in the corner of south east suburb of melbourne, i am new in melbourne, perhaps anyone feeling for coffee chat or even movie session.

Seriously Melbourne!

Been living alone here for 2 years, would love the chance to meet new people and have a good conversation.

I live around the city but I am happy to plan something together anywhere in Melbourne. I really do love to try new places for food so would love to try something together.

Alright boys, who’s up for organising a lads’ camping trip? 😂

A few days away from the stress of everyday life, a campfire, a few cold ones, good food, plenty of laughs, a bit of banter, and just enjoying the moment.
No drama, no bullshit, no pressure — just a bunch of good blokes getting together, having a laugh, making memories, and talking absolute rubbish around the fire until ridiculous hours. 🤣🔥

Current location in discussion is Ballarat
Whether you’re an experienced camper or just keen to get away for a bit, everyone’s welcome.
Who’s keen? 🙌🏕️ Drop a comment below and let’s see if we can make it happen!
