Interacting with People Online and IRL.

Upvotes

Hello All,

Most people coming to this subreddit are looking to make some new friends and join a community, I've met nearly all of my adult friends in this subreddit and I hope everyone can find friends as well.

With that said, I do want to warn everyone to take caution in meeting strangers from the internet alone. We've had reports of an abusive and dangerous user and just want to warn everyone here about that. We are still on the internet and anyone could be at the other end.

Here are some tips to help keep people safe.

  1. The Buddy System: Don't meet anyone from the internet alone. We recommend to bring a friend or create an event that is out in public with many people.
  2. This isn't Tinder: Please don't attempt to find a romantic partner or casual hookup here.
  3. Beware of Pressure: If someone is pressuring you to meet alone, do NOT meet them, they are most likely not looking to have a safe and friendly time.

If anyone has any more tips to stay safe while meeting new people IRL, please share them. I'll add any good tips to this post.

My intention isn't to scare people or discourage them from trying to post or make friends, I know it can be tough. All of us working together can create a safer space for everyone. This helped me at a very important time in my life and I really hope it can do the same for everyone here.

26M — Calgary — Looking to meet some new people

Upvotes

Hey! 26M here, looking to meet some new people in Calgary and get out more.

I’m pretty easygoing and into a bunch of different stuff. I play golf, baseball and basketball, and I’m a big sports fan in general — football, hockey, basketball, baseball, whatever. If you need an extra player for a team, or just want to watch a game, lmk.

I’ve got a dog, so I’m always down for walks. Also into grabbing coffee, getting food, ice cream, going out, checking out new places, or just hanging out.

Would be cool to meet some guys and girls around my age and build up a new group of people to actually do stuff with. Definitely open to meeting someone I click with too, if it happens.

If you’ve got friends who are also looking to get out and meet people, bring them along!

Just trying to make some new friends, find some new activities and have some fun. Shoot me a message if you’re interested.

28F - Looking to meet some people around my age who might be in a similar stage of life

Upvotes

Hi there! I'm 28 years old and I'm looking to meet some people who are in the same boat as me! I work full-time and I’m also taking classes online through athabasca university, so I don’t really have a lot of time (or the money) to go out much. I like to read, watch movies and TV shows, and am trying to get more into fitness, but that's sort of a work in progress, lol. I’m also pretty shy, which sadly makes meeting people a lot harder, but I'd like to try and put myself out there so I can make friends.

I’d especially love to connect with other students in their late 20s, maybe early 30s, who also don’t really have the time or budget to do stuff often, who also feel a bit lost, but still want to maybe get to know each other? It would be nice to chat/talk online, watch stuff together, maybe do some study dates at a cute cafe or something? And if we click, I'd love to eventually do other stuff together too.

If any of this resonates with you and you're interested, feel free to message me. Thanks! :)

22f looking for friends !

Upvotes

hi ! i’m 22f and i’ve been wanting to put myself out there a little more and meet some new people (ideally around my age) :)

i’m definitely shy when i first meet people, and i can be a little awkward while im figuring out how to talk to someone new 😭 so i’d probably prefer getting to know each other online first and seeing if we click before jumping straight to an IRL hangout. once i’m comfortable though, i can talk A LOT.

a little about me: i’m a huge homebody. i love reading (especially mysteries and thrillers), board games, and playing video games with friends every now and then. i’ve played around with mobile legends, overcooked, roblox, and valorant, although i’m not claiming to be good at any of them 😭. i also really enjoy just having conversations.

i’m not necessarily the most adventurous or exciting person, but i’m always willing to try new things and i’d love to meet people to do that with !

Feeling Bored and have nothing exciting to do

Upvotes

Hi everyone, I am 22M, Have been working in calgary for the last 2 years and have a WFH Software Dev Job. The thing that makes no sense for me is I finished my studies in Software Dev( Did not got enough time to hangout and chill with friends). My priorities were straight back then thought I would have fun after having some stability. NOW IT FEELS EMPTY!!!. I dont have many with I can even talk. And this Long weekend is just killing me. I feel better when working than sitting as is. I usually play video games, like to cook and thats it. I am not a party animal or a person who enjoys dancing or any other extrovert activities. always have been an ambivert. Really I mean I need people who I can meet and have some great time. Also I am Muslim(I dont drink or smoke either so pubs or clubs are no go for me) which makes it hard to socialize.

Looking for 30+ friends in Calgary!

Upvotes

(33M) I’ve been living in Calgary for about a year, but because work has kept me on the road so much, I’m realizing I haven’t really had the chance to settle in and make the city my home.

Most of my hobbies are pretty solitary for now, fitness, reading about random topics, going for walks and scenic drives, so I’d love to branch out and meet some people.

I’m at a point where I’d really like to build a sense of community here. Most of my colleagues are abroad, so I don’t have much of a work circle in Calgary either. It would be great to meet people for coffee or a drink, go for a walk, try something new, or just have a genuine conversation.

I’m naturally curious and enjoy conversations that wander into unexpected topics, different perspectives, and stories about lives very different from my own.

I’m not looking for anything romantic, just hoping to meet a few good people whose company and conversation I genuinely enjoy.

If this resonates with you, feel free to send me a message!

I want to find friends in Canada

Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I'm from Moscow, Russia, and I'm planning to move to Calgary in the future. I'd like to make friends in Canada first so I can better understand Canadian culture, daily life, local customs, and just get a better sense of what it's like to live there.

A little about me: I'm 15 years and currently studying to be an aircraft mechanic at college in Russia. I hope to move to Canada in the future and work in Calgary in the aviation industry.

In my free time, I practice Muay Thai, study English, read books, and watch movies. I'm also interested in aviation, and I'd be happy to talk about it.

I'd love to meet people from Calgary or other parts of Canada and just hang out. I'm not expecting anything serious; I just want to make friends and get to know each other better, and get to know their lives and culture.

And if you're interested in what student life is like in Russia, I'd be happy to tell you!

Looking for a small squash group 🏸

Upvotes

Trying to play squash more regularly but don’t really have a consistent group to play with.

Thought it could be fun to get a small group going where we can rotate games depending on who’s free.

I only started playing last year, so definitely not a pro, but I’d say I’m decent and mostly looking for good games + good vibes.

Anyone interested?

New to Calgary and looking to make some friends!

Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m a 26-year-old guy and I’ve been in Calgary for 3 days now. I’m staying here for a few months for now, but I’m even considering staying for up to a year.

I’d really like to meet some new people and make the most of my time in Calgary! I enjoy playing cards and board games, going for walks, getting coffee, and spending time outdoors and in nature. I’m also a big sports fan — especially NHL, NFL and soccer.

I also enjoy going to bars, playing video games, or just hanging out and having a good conversation. My English is okay, but definitely not perfect yet, so please bear with me.

I’m pretty open-minded and always happy to meet new people. I don’t really care about gender or age. I’m just looking for nice people to hang out with and have some fun experiences in Calgary.

If anyone wants to meet up, grab a coffee, go for a walk, play some games, watch sports, go to a bar, or just explore the city together, feel free to message me! :)

I’d love to make some good memories here and meet some cool people along the way!

So come bring your favourite pack of smokes and meet us at 6:30PM in Barb Scott Park for a fun 5k run followed by volleyball🏐, spikeball🎾, free refreshments, and a chill hangout with amazing people!!!

56M on paper, younger at heart—Calgary guy looking for genuine friends and good energy

Upvotes

Hey Calgary! Im a 56M, but very much younger at heart in personality, interests, humour, and energy. I’m a slightly overthinking, very social guy who’s trying to build a friend group that actually feels like a friend group. I’m good at one-on-one conversations, terrible at “let’s all hang out vaguely sometime” energy, and I value friendships where the effort feels mutual.

I’ve had a more active social life before, and I’m hoping to get back to that—getting out, trying things, having people to message during the week, and making plans that actually turn into real-life hangouts. I tend to connect with people who are open-minded, enjoy life, and can match my energy—or at least appreciate it without judging the fact that I’m still excited about things. LOL.

I’m into consumer tech—yes, I will happily debate Samsung versus anything else—home workouts, sports trivia, Xbox gaming, walking around the city, and the kind of movies and shows that make you think for three days afterward: Star Wars, DC/Marvel, sci-fi, and horror/thrillers. I also enjoy late-night “what even is friendship?” conversations that probably should have happened in therapy.

What I’m looking for:

People in or near Calgary who want to meet up in real life, not only chat forever online

Folks who are okay with a mix of goofy humour and genuinely reflective conversations

Reciprocal energy: if I message, I’d love a reply; if we make plans, I’d love them to mostly happen

People who are open to low-pressure hangouts, but also getting out socially once we know we click—coffee, food, walks, movies, casual events, live music, karaoke, or finding something new to do around the city

If you’re also trying to build or rebuild your social circle, feel free to DM me with where you are in Calgary, what you’re into, and what a good first hangout looks like for you. A random conversation starter, a meme, or a strong opinion about the best Star Wars movie also works.
