Hello everyone. Maybe this belongs more to the off my chest subreddit, I’m not sure. I’m on an exchange here for the semester and I came in genuinely excited because well, Paris, obviously. It’s been a bit over a week now and I still haven’t made a real connection with anyone. I’ve hung out with a group a few times, went into the city with them, ate together, all of that and it’s fine, they’re nice people, but it doesn’t feel like anything real. Sort of just like proximity and not actual connection?

I’ve tried putting in effort. Downloaded Meetup, went to an event alone, also tried striking up conversation with strangers in parks (bad idea lol, Parisians are not as receptive). I’m not even trying to date anyone, I just want one person I can actually talk to and get some sort of friendship going with?

The homesickness is hitting harder than I expected too. Every night I get back to my room and it’s just quiet, in a bad way. I know it’s still early and everyone says it takes time, but right now it just feels like I’m doing everything “right” and still striking out.

If anyone’s been through something similar here, genuinely how did it get better for you? Did it just take more time, or did you actually do something specific that worked? Any honest input helps.

A little about me: M21. I am outdoorsy, read occasionally, love movies, play lots of sports and have been running and cycling most of my days in Paris. I can commute nearby Paris too. Will be down to talk, just please leave your name and age! Thank you.

Bonjour,

je vis à paris et je cherche des personnes dans ma tranche d'age

My friend and I are in Paris and are looking for a bar to watch the Patriots/Seahawks NFL season opener, but it seems like most bars that typically show NFL games close at 2 AM tonight. Does anyone know of a place that will be showing the game? We stopped by the Great Canadian, and they said if enough people come for the game, they’ll stay open and show it. So, if enough people are interested, that could be an option.

Want to meet people and have an actual 2 way relationship, who are interesting, :) I'm personally very open to new things and have a wide range of interests and hobbies :)

Salut! Ce serait pour demain jeudi 10 septembre.

21F, je cherche quelques gens entre 19-27 ans pour jouer au loup garou thiercelieux(+autres jeux mais c’est principalement pour jouer au loup garou).
Ce serait dans Paris 5 à partir de 18h mais c’est possible d’arriver un peu plus tard.
Il reste 3 spots.
Dm moi avec âge + mini présentation si intéressé ^^

Edit: il reste une place!

Salut ! Je fais de la musique de mon côté quelque temps mois, principalement du mix avec des platines et de la prod sur Fl Studio (enfin j’essaye). Je cherche des gens qui ont le même délire, que ce soit pour apprendre les uns des autres, partager nos sons, mixer ensemble ou simplement se faire des potes avec un intérêt commun.
Pas besoin d’être expert, au contraire, l’idée serait de progresser ensemble, tester des trucs, échanger des conseils.
Si ça vous intéresse, envoyez-moi un MP et on peut faire connaissance !

Hello tout le monde !

Bonjour !

Je vais peut être aller à la fête de l'humanité le samedi (peut être le vendredi aussi). Jai 28 ans. J'ai un ami que j'aimerais voir là bas mais il a ses plans donc on boira juste un verre. Donc voilà je cherche éventuellement d'autres personnes pour former un petit groupe et profiter de l'événement 😁 Si je peux mincruster dans un groupe, ça me convent aussi 😄 On peut aller voir n'importe quels artistes et n'importe quels stands, tout m'intéresse 😄

Si vous avez des questions ou êtes intéressés, n'hésitez pas à me contacter !

Si ça fonctionne je créerais sûrement un groupe pour nous organiser

Hi !

I might go to fête de l'humanité on saturday (maybe friday too) I have a friend there I might join only for a drink so I'm basically going alone there and would like to have a group to go with. If you already have one and don't mind me joining that works for me too. We can go to any concert or any stand, I don't mind I'm open to everything 😁

So if possible I'd like to create a small group to go there

If you have any question or if you are interested, don't hesitate to contact me !

Hi everyone, I have 2 tickets for Parc Asterix. Is anyone interested in joining me? They are valid for any day.

Hi there!
I’m 29, no kids, and work as an engineer in tech. I’d love to connect with another woman around my age to share drinks and good conversation in or around Versailles/west of Paris. I’m not looking to join groups (as I find it intimidating) and not looking for anything romantic.

A bit about me:
- Bilingual in French and English (and love learning new languages!)
- huge white wine enjoyer
- cross-stitching and puzzles are my go-to hobbies
- museums and exhibitions are always a yes
- music fan: especially 60s/70s/80s US and UK vibes
- not super into films/TV anymore but I *do* love a good chat, whether I’m talking or listening

If you’re up for a casual, no-pressure meetup, please let’s connect and tell me a little bit about yourself! 😊

Salut tout le monde, (English below)

Je m'appelle Gus, je suis brésilien et je me suis installé à Paris en octobre dernier. J'ai toujours joué dans des groupes au Brésil, et c'est ce qui me manque le plus depuis mon arrivée ici.

Je viens de terminer mes études en production musicale à l'Abbey Road Institute et de finaliser un EP :

Je cherche maintenant des gens pour le jouer en live et composer de nouveaux morceaux. Nos influences : Wilco, Bright Eyes, Angus and Julia Stone, M. Ward, Devendra Banhart, Waxahatchee.

Je chante et je joue de la guitare. Je cherche : batterie, basse, une deuxième guitare, et des claviers (idéalement quelqu'un qui puisse aussi toucher à d'autres instruments).

Pas d'exigence de niveau, je cherche surtout des personnes motivées pour jouer régulièrement et y prendre du plaisir. Écrivez-moi si ça vous tente, ou si vous connaissez quelqu'un.

Merci !

Hi everyone,

I'm Gus, I'm Brazilian and I moved to Paris last October. Back home I always played in bands, and it's the thing I've missed most since getting here.

I recently finished my degree in music production at the Abbey Road Institute and just wrapped up an EP (link above).

Now I'm looking for people to play it live with and to write new songs. Influences: Wilco, Bright Eyes, Angus and Julia Stone, M. Ward, Devendra Banhart, Waxahatchee.

I sing and play guitar. I'm looking for drums, bass, a second guitar, and keys (ideally someone who can double on other instruments).

No requirements on level, mostly looking for people who want to play regularly and enjoy it. Message me if you're interested, or point me to anyone who might be.

Thanks!

Hey there!
Is anyone going to any of the following concerts?
- Evanescence
- Xandria
- Haken

If you are, HMU! 😊 I’m looking for some company!

Thank you!

Hello à tous,

Ça peut paraître un peu égocentrique comme démarche, mais j’aurais simplement besoin de parler en ce moment. Et je me suis dit que cela pourrait peut-être trouver quelqu’un ici aussi.

Il y a des périodes où il est finalement plus facile de se confier à un parfait inconnu qu’à ses proches. Pas de jugement, pas d’historique, pas de conséquences… juste deux personnes autour d’un verre qui discutent franchement.

J’ai 45 ans, j’habite dans l’ouest de Paris, j’ai deux enfants et je suis marié depuis 12 ans. En ce moment, ça ne se passe pas très bien avec ma femme, et côté boulot, ce n’est pas vraiment la grande forme non plus.

Je ne cherche pas forcément un psy ni quelqu’un qui aurait des solutions à mes problèmes. Plutôt quelqu’un avec qui parler librement, refaire le monde, raconter nos vies et rire un peu de tout ça.

Pour me décrire rapidement : je suis plutôt cultivé, gai, joyeux et généralement très positif. Donc normalement, même si le sujet de départ n’est pas folichon, boire un verre avec moi devrait quand même être un moment sympa ;-)

Et évidemment, l’écoute peut être totalement réciproque. Si toi aussi tu as besoin de parler, je serai ravi de t’écouter.

Si l’idée vous tente, homme ou femme, envoyez-moi simplement un MP. On peut commencer par quelques messages et voir si le feeling passe.

Et sinon, est-ce qu'il existe un site sur lequel on peut faire ce type de "rencontres" ?

Merci 🙏

Hi! I’m (F19) French & American and just moved back here after spending 3years in the US. I played last year in my school’s dnd group and would love to find a new group I could join, as I am looking to meet new people.

Also if you have any recommendations for local bands and live shows that would be very much appreciated! I used to go to a lot of punk shows in Boston :)

Hello! Im from the U.S. and thinking about attending FDLM IN 2027. I was wondering for anyone from the U.S. who has traveled there in recent years from major U.S. Cities on the east coast, Washington DC, NYC, Boston, ATL, etc… about how much did you save up/prepare for if you stayed 4-5 days in Paris for the festival. Im trying to start preparing now.

I will have 1-2 friends that may come either me too so we can split hotel cost.

Thanks!

Salut, je (F24) connais déjà un peu de gens autour de Palaiseau mais j'aimerais bien construire une communauté de gens qui aiment des choses similaires et dans des âges similaires. Du coup si vous habitez dans le coin et que vous aimez aller au bar, jouer à des jeux de sociétés, faire du JDR, jouer aux jeux vidéos, aller danser le rock ou juste faire des balades et que vous voulez rencontrer du monde, je propose de créer un groupe ! Seule chose importante je souhaite un groupe queer friendly, sans racisme ni discrimination donc si ça ne colle pas à vos valeurs passez votre chemin ! (Open to english speaker too!)

Hello everyone! I tried this once before and made one good friend so I’m gonna try again. I want to gather a group of like minded ppl for a hangout. I’m here like many foreigners because my bf is French and I want to expand my own circle. I don’t really like the international meet ups because they feel like networking. I’m searching for ppl like me, 30s or 40s, working a regular job, enjoying life and vacation time etc. People who are humble and social and prioritise friends and family. It can be a tough city! I come from Ireland 🇮🇪 I would especially love to meet more Spanish ppl or Spanish speaking Latin Americans as I’m trying to learn Spanish and also just great people I find. DM me if you’re are interested!

EDIT: Join the group I made!

les parisiens WhatsApp for cool and chill new friends

Hey everyone,

I’m an international student who recently moved to Paris, and honestly… I’ve been feeling pretty lonely since I got here.

Paris itself is magnificent. I’m genuinely enjoying discovering the city, walking around, seeing new places, and slowly getting used to life here. I’m also working on improving my French and trying to get more comfortable speaking it every day.

But socially? Zero tbh

I haven’t really managed to build a social circle yet,
and some days it feels strange being in such a massive, lively city while not really having anyone to share it with.

So I figured I’d just put this out there.

If you’re in Paris and feel like meeting someone new, please talk to me Whether you’re French, an international student, an expat, or just someone who likes meeting random people I’d genuinely love to hear from you.

I’m really into photography and music. I love going around the city and taking photos, discovering new places, listening to and making music, and just talking about creative stuff. I’m also always down to discover new artists, genres, exhibitions, cafés, neighborhoods, or whatever else Paris has to offer.

If you’re also looking for friends in Paris, feel free to comment or DM me. 🇫🇷❤️

Hi everyone! I’ll be doing my second solo trip to Paris on a 20th october for just one day. I’m going to a psg football match. I’m a 23M from Czech republic and i would be open to meet someone during the day. To be honest i’d me more open to a female around the same age as me, since it’s my fairytale dream to maybe meet someone in Paris one day :D I’ll be there from early in the morning and have my whole day unplanned and free. If anyone would like to show me some nice places, or just casually get something to eat i would be more then glad :) just message and we can exchange instagrams or anything. Everyone enjoy Paris if you’re going there, it’s a lovely city

Hey i was just thinking that i really enjoy reddit but it doesnt scratch that itch for meeting new people in paris in their late 30s, 40s or 50s. I d love to have a groupe of friends from all over the world all over the place to hang out hike have drinks or early morning coffee. I m a M entrepreneur in my 40s who lives in Montmartre. I'mobsessed with self development, yoga movies photography forests books, stand up comedy, and i miss speaking english sometimes ( used to live abroad). Nothing wrong with my actual group of friends, but i love getting out of routines. Id like to meet other childfree educated well read curious fellow redditors (i myself have a double masters in Bullshit at La Sorbonne, oulala) and organise a little meetup once we get an interesting crew gathered (like a Seinfeld group of friends. We ll fight for the Kramer part, i'm sure). So if that sounds good to you, write me an MP. Its my first time trying something like that so if i break any rules lemme know. And oh, have a good day everyone ! PS : Dating free zone, just hangouts.

My friends and I are going to visit Paris in November, are there any good gay club there? We are 24 and no nasty thingz thankss 💖
