Interacting with People Online and IRL.

48 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.

Been too busy adulting to actually be an adult in Calgary

12 Upvotes

Hey folks!

I (M29) moved to Calgary end of 2024 and life’s been a complete blur since then. Between work ramping up, travel, and just trying to settle in, I haven’t actually slowed down enough to build real friendships here. And I’m realizing that’s on me.

My wife and I moved across the country to start fresh and I’ve been grinding through it instead of actually enjoying it or connecting with people. I work in finance, play squash when I can, love a good thriller, and I’m genuinely someone who wants to do things. But I need to get better at actually showing up consistently. So I’m putting this out there: if you’re looking for the same thing, let’s actually make it happen.

I’m not talking one-off coffees. I mean: playing a sport regularly, catching movies, hiking on weekends, just hanging and actually building something real. The stuff that takes time and repetition to feel like friendship.

If you’re in a similar spot, maybe newer to the city or just looking to deepen your circle, and you actually want someone who’ll show up and be present, shoot me a message. I’m based in the NW. I’m easy going, open to anything, and I promise I’ll bring the same energy you’re putting in.

Need a life

16 Upvotes

Hey Calgary and surroundings!

I'm really looking to enjoy this summer by floating, fishing, camping, anything outdoors really.

Tell me about a fun swimming spot that isn't too populated pleeease.

Since I've recently separated, I've noticed more than ever how small my soical circle is. Almost to the point of being non existent.

I'm 41, fit, easy going and think I'm more interesting than what I can write here lol. Even thought this post is intended to find friends, I need to mention that I'm currently in a long-distance relationship.

Although I am introverted, I don't mind large groups too much as long as I have my person(s) with me.

Men & women welcome

Also interested in staying in, watching films, music, gaming, visual arts. Would love to 420 it up and make some sculptures with the right person.

This is my first post ever on reddit and expecting to regret it but I'm not the type to go to a bar alone to strike up a conversation with a stranger so I'll try this first haha.

Stay cool people. It's 32 freakin degrees out here!

Looking to make some girlfriends! Maybe we can make a group??

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’m 21F and I moved to Calgary about a year ago, I’m a student at SAIT and moved with my soon to be husband for school. I had a great group of girls in high school but we all went separate ways and mostly faded out, I have one close friend still but we’re pretty long distance now. I miss the experience of just being girls together and would love to find some nearby!
I love a good games night (trivia, monopoly, charades lol, count me in), I’m fairly artsy and enjoy painting and all kinds of crafts, decently active and would love to get into an activity, I’m admittedly not super gifted at sports but would love to try out something new (pickleball is on my list)! Not much for a bar scene, do go once in a while to dance it out, but will very happily enjoy a drink on a sunny patio 🙏
If you’re in a similar age bracket and are looking for a new girlfriend, or have a group in need of an addition, I would love to connect!

Gym or accountability buddies?

3 Upvotes

Looking to get back into shape as I really let loose the last year or so. I signed up for Gold's Gym but sometimes it's just hard to motivate yourself to go if you don't have anyone to talk to or to go to the gym with. Looking for any accountability buddies or anyone that would want to go to the gym a couple of times a week with. 31M. Can travel to any Gold's Gym.

New Beginnings

5 Upvotes

Hi there!! 21F here, and I’m moving to Calgary from Ontario for a fresh start!! We’ll be going in November—I’ve only ever visited once, so I only know the few family members that live there. I’m looking to get to know some new friends before we move, I’m hoping having some “familiar” people will help me adapt to being away from home.
I’m also looking for any groups or communities I could be apart of—I’m a really artsy girl, I love to craft, paint, sketch, sculpt, etc. I’m also really into fitness, sports, and music. I’d really love to get to know some of you!! Excited to talk to y’all!!

Tabletop gaming group Friday Nights

30 Upvotes

Hey all we have a few spots open for new gamers to join our merry band of misfits. We had some good luck last time so figured we would give it another shot 😀.

Currently we are playing Rifts from Palladium Games but the games and GM/DMs change every 4 to 6 months. We also encourage new players to eventually try running a game once they feel ready. No experience is necessary to play just a desire to learn a new system and have some fun in the process.

If you have any questions feel free to drop me a line or leave a comment here. We meet up 7pm sharp on Friday nights as long as we have enough bodies to play (life loves to throw curveball sometimes). The current age range is late 30s to mid 50s but we have had mid 20 players before who really enjoyed coming.

The game location is my residence and we do have a dog. Have a great day and happy gaming.

Is there any places in Calgary that host gaming?

5 Upvotes

Hi there Calgarians, I was wondering if there are local joints or business that host gaming?

My group of friends play Street Fighter 6 and looking into venturing into local places that would host it.

We're part of the fighting game community and online we're finding more and more strong local players in Calgary.

Any advice or recommendations would be much appreciated.

Edit: Street Fighter 6 @ Dickens on August 26th, 5pm to 10pm. Thank you.
