Have an idea for something to do, but nobody to do it with? Are you working on a project and want to collaborate? Have an idea for a game and need people to play with? Going on a hike and looking for people to hike with? It sounds like you need a friend!

Pretty much, if you're looking for others to participate in activities with you then this is a place for you to invite fellow redditors.

Meet new people

I’m a 24m who would like to meet new people and get out more. Im terrible at making friends and always get awkward so I’m hoping to change that. A few things I enjoy doing are trying new foods, going on hikes, farmers/holiday markets, and cider/beer tasting. I’m very open to exploring your interest and trying new things. If you play DND, PLEASE teach me how to play or invite me to watch. I also like going to watch movies so there’s that too! anyways, dms are open and hoping to meet some new faces.🕹️

Eugene Springfield TTRPG group finding discord

I created a discord server for Eugene/Springfield for the purposes of finding tabletop groups.

The goal is to have a channel for every system that anyone wants to play. Drop in and see if your favorite system is in there, and drop a message if it's not!

Looking for a Pathfinder 2e group in Eugene I can join in February or March

Hi!

I am currently living in Jefferson OR, and moving back to Eugene soon! (Feb 1st)

I have played a decent amount of 3.5, PF1, 5e, DCC, and a bit of Exalted (short campaign). I have been reading the core rulebook for PF2, and the system looks really good! I would love to draft up a character and give it a go!

What I'm looking for is either a group that needs/wants a player, or a resource I can use to find players and a GM.

Ideally, I would find a group of players who are learning PF2 together with GM that knows the rules pretty well. While I know that's probably a tall order, it would be nice to have a group that's all at the same relative power level (learning the basics). This of course would be ideal, but not necessary. I would be happy with many other group dynamics.

Men's and Women's Social Clubs

I didn't realize there was a subreddit for people looking for friends in Eugene. Two separate groups have been started up in the past few months to help 20-40 year old people connect in town. You can join their discord servers here:

30f looking for (very) covid conscious friends

I’ve lived here for quite some time and have friends, but due to my being immunocompromised and also caring for 2 other immunocompromised individuals (and also being aware that there are communities who are STILL being affected) I live a very specific lifestyle that does not align with most people. So I would like to socialize with people I can feel safe around.I don’t eat indoors in restaurants (outdoors is chill), go to the movies, bars etc. The places I do go indoors I always wear a KN95 and hand sanitize once I’m back in my car. I’m looking for girlfriends who are somewhat aligned with this lifestyle and around my age.

I am in a long term happy relationship, and have a dog

Some of my interests… (I have adhd so I like to dip my toe in many things lol) -hiking, car camping, day trips, backpacking all the pnw things -thrifting -outside picnics -games? (Haven’t played a ton but I’m open) -90s/2000s music -dog behavior/enrichment -dance -makeup (though I don’t wear so much of it these days because of my jobs) -home decor

I’m not super into witchy crystal stuff but I’m cool with it as long as no one is pushing it on me. I’m agnostic and I swear a lot. And I don’t have any dietary restrictions but playing with the idea of being pescatarian lol.

I hope this isn’t too much. I just like to make sure I put it all out on the table 😂

Looking for some friends

I'm(26f) looking for some friends in the Eugene area. I may be getting out of an 8 year relationship and I just need some fun things to get me out of my lonely house. I love playing games, I play League with my friends but would love to try something new. I enjoy reading when I can. I enjoy the outdoors. I have a 🐶 who would love to go on more adventure. We love the coast. I don't work weekends 😊

Sometimes I Feel Out of Place

One would think you'd have all the friends in town if you lived there all your life, but nope! I feel super out of place and I don't really want to produce a list as to why to reinforce how alien I am. I will produce a list of what I am into though. Hopefully I'll make a new friend or few.
I'm married (m 39 me f 40 her, 12 years) with no kids, two dogs (1-1/2 yr old Gingerbread and 4-1/2 month Reiki), we go to Church, take our dogs to Armitage or the outdoors often, we're making a home in Santa Clara, and she works full 40 as I do not. I usually spend all my time that I can with her in the evenings and on weekends so basically I am looking to fill the 40 hour work week with activity time shared with another or more.

I personally enjoy making art with whatever material to make whatever, seriously. I like to draw (big into graffiti), paint, create graphic art and design, take pictures, shoot video, sculpt, screen print, wire wrap, and more. I really like to make music on my Maschine+ (link to my SoundCloud). I have a nice studio space where I can get really loud. My recording studio is portable which makes for fun on the go. So if you're the creative type hit me up. My door is open and my schedule is in need of some commission work too (DM for more about hiring me to be your next favorite artist).

I love taking care of my home and improving the quality of living in my personal space. Have done some remodeling in my house and built a sweet barn door too. I love DIY home improvement things - when they're done properly and not correcting what was there before because that is the worst. When the sun is out (and even if it was raining) I like to work on my yard. Pretty proud of my property. Been considering using some of my land to host some garden plots so people can have access to some gardening who otherwise wouldn't for a small fee.

Currently working on my 1986 Chevrolet Camaro Sports Coupe... slowly. Not really a mechanically inclined car guy, but I do appreciate the technology and aesthetics.

I like to build computers, very PC literate and can get down on Apple no problem. I don't really play video games anymore though. I don't follow sports, but play basketball. I like to cruise the bike path and chill on the river bank sometimes. I don't consume much entertainment... actually almost none. I like to look at comics, but I don't read them. I like the art of anime, but don't watch them. I can appreciate the craft in cinema, but haven't seen a new show since before 2015 and almost same could be said about movies. I do not listen to the radio.. so I am out of touch with pop culture and prefer it that way. I don't really use social media either (except for this right now, lol). I feel like I have everything I want so I don't go out shopping or find myself distracted with material things.

I am a simple quiet person who isn't caught up in shit that I can't control and I don't let it move me either. I do not drink, no hard drugs but I responsibly partake in recreational use of marijuana. I hope the read wasn't too long. Thanks for your time!

Need a friend who enjoys the outdoors and being active!

Now that the weather is getting nicer I've been having a lot of fun roller skating and hiking!

I'm hoping to find someone who wants join me for these activities or other fun, active things like camping, biking, bonfires, tennis, rock climbing, swimming, gardening, or exploring the forest. When I'm not outside I'm reading historical fiction, playing my switch, studying, cooking or doing art.

I love intellectual conversations, enjoy all types of music and I'd like to think my sense of humor is pretty good 😅 420 friendly, but it's fin if you're not!

Strictly looking for platonic friends, I'm happily partnered, but they are not a big fan of outdoor activities, especially when it starts to get hot/sunny. I love this type of weather and I want to make the most of the 3 months we actually get it!

Age/gender is not super important to me, if you're cool, respectful and non-judgmental I'm sure we'll get along. I'm 22f to give you some reference. Thanks for reading ✌

So the last two years were wild.

Anyway, since stuff is fully opening up again, I'm looking for a concert/show buddy. Pronouns he/him, 40, married, and no kids. Moved up here from California to be close to family about four years ago.

I like going to shows, movies, PC gaming (in this economy?!), local beers, archery, coffee, and checking out food trucks. I listen to podcasts, metal, experimental, punk, and acoustic music mostly but I have a wide gambit of different genres I listen to. Favorite albums is a toss up between Songs For the Deaf by QOTSA and Low End Theory by Tribe Called Quest, but that changes all the time.

I have a reliable car, a job where I make enough money, a wife who I adore, and a cat that I don't (just kidding she has personality).

And during the last two years I built a bar in my garage. DM me for my insta if you want to see it. It's RAD.

Stay at Home Dad (2 and 9) Looking for Friend

Hello I hope you all are well and safe, I am myself, but would enjoy making a new friend as I have lots of spare time (mostly M-F 9-4 but also weekends, which I tend to reserve more for family-time.) I am a stay-at-home dad with one 2-year-old son and another 9-year-old son in elementary school and a wife; I am just looking to make a friend, nothing more!

I am pretty open in terms of who would work as a friend- in the past I have had an easier time with friends that are female, but am, again, open to any friendly person, especially if someone has a child that can play with mine. I have thoughts and beliefs that include stuff that would seem to preclude some people, but will say generally I don't talk much about politics/religion, etc...(stuff that can turn people away/off via your opinion.) That said I do enjoy chatting about life/what is real, and have some various interests like Legos, football (I have NFL sunday ticket, so I get all the games and DirectTV), some card/board games, PS4 Destiny 2/arcade-y wrestling games, AEW wrestling which I watch routinely w my 9 year old, Rick and Morty, Marvel/superhero movies in general (I am currently reading The Boys), Kevin Smith/Tarantino/Gunn/Waititi movies/stories, walking outside when nice, and taking my sons to Amazon playground (or Tugman sometimes.)

I tried this once before and only met 2 people- 1 who wanted to know what I looked like and then stopped talking after I told them (?) and another who just texted me a few sporadic times then stopped with no warning/reason...that's fine, but I'm really hoping to find 1 decent friend (another stay-at-home parent?) that I can possibly hang with or at least routinely chat with via like text (not a big phone person in general, but I do have one.) I have not had a ton of friends in my 38 years, but promise I try very hard to be accommodating, open and friendly. If this appeals to you at all maybe shout me a holler, or you know...just have a nice day!

"You gotta take a look inside and find the secrets to life are down at the bottom of the underground waterslide..."

Edit: Helpful tips are lovely, but I am looking more for a friend than a place to "find a friend," especially as I am a bit home-locked at times (one car family) and not really a "group person" due to some deficits and budgetary constrictions. Thanks for the advice though, truly, I get it comes from a nice place.

Need help

I’m a 21 year old male who has not had a social life since dropping out of highschool at age 16. I have lost any/all social skills, and my ability to even concentrate on or follow a conversation has severely atrophied. You know how you read a paragraph in a book, then realize you didn’t comprehend or absorb any of it? That’s me when it comes to any information whatsoever. Zero short term memory. It makes me really scared to try and talk to anyone, especially potential friends because I can barely remember what’s interesting enough about my own life to comment on, and have no personality really.

What options do I have for making friends/acquaintances? What are some good tips?

Oh No, Another Need-A-Friend Post!?

I am a 38 year old married father to two boys (2 and 9.) I am a stay-home person/dad with at least the 2 boy w me most time (also 1 car and wife works so a bit land-locked in S Eugene at our home.) I have some social deficits and have never had a ton of friends, in part perhaps as I am on the Autism Spectrum and have Bipolar Disorder and PTSD (so I have to manage my energy for sure!) My family is covid safe and very liberal/libertarian leaning.

That said I try to find humor in life (I think I'm funny, not so much others, haha) As for some stuff I enjoy I watch NFL football and have the season ticket (Washington fan not from here originally) games in general (card, board ok, have a ps4 but not many games :/) walks (we have 3 cats, 2 dogs) silly shows like Rick and Morty What We Do In Shadows Dave The Office Community. Also silly 90 day shows and AEW wrestling, Kevin Smith/Tarantino/James Gunn, Evil Dead, The Goonies, Marvel Shows and movies... I enjoy a variety of music from like NOFX, Jawbreaker (best lyrics ever i.m.o.) (early) Weezer, The Get Up Kids, Reggie and The Full Effect, Atom and his Package, Beastie Boys, Immortal Technique, The Streets, Ben Folds, Daft Punk (so good for energy!) really anything that moves.

Anyway I just haven't had a friend in years and my Mother passed a month ago and...even someone to chat with would be nice, much less hang out (I do get nervous about new people/things and do not tend to go out much pre-covid or now just because I am a bit of an introverted home-body.)

About You: Umm, not totally turned off by my post. Likes kids (as I have 2!) and can hopefully be cool with wife (everyone likes my wife, she is very easy-going and nice/loving), animals, life-energy etc. I don't care about sex/age/gender but having some things in common would be nice just to break the ice at least, right? Maybe we could chat and if we hit it off possibly hang out or something?

Lastly I am not overly political (though I have very left leaning ideals, including that food/water/medicine/housing should simply be free and we should pay for non-essentials/upgrades) and not particularly religious (esp in terms of debating) while being very Buddhist-here/now leaning (Buddha teaches there is no way to know how things started, where we go, or if there is a God(s), so focus on doing good here...sounds good to me!) and chatting here and there about Energy/if there are others out there in the Universe, etc...

Hope you are well. Thanks for reading.

23M in need of a friend

Not sure how to start this without just jumping right in, I guess.

I really want close friendships, but I really struggle with the initial in between phases of stranger --> friend --> close friend. I was already pretty bad at it, but then quarantine hit, and now I'm really bad at it. I feel like I've completely lost the ability to form new relationships with people and I have no idea where to start. I tried Tinder, but no one is on there for friends really. I ended up just feeling awkward and overwhelmed with all the matches.

The most important thing to me in my life is emotional health and growth. I really like discussing emotion, trauma, mental health, etc. I really just like open communication, and I'm really comfortable with pretty much anything anyone throws at me. I want to be someone's friend that they can vent to about anything.

I am overall politically left but welcome anyone from any end of the political spectrum so long as we can both discuss our differences and learn from each other. I really enjoy discussing politics, values, philosophies, ethics/ morals, religion/ spirituality (I am agnostic/ athiest), and pretty much anything we can engage on and go into depth on. Like I said, I really enjoy discussing and growing with people so you don't need to be on the same page as me with any of these things so long as we can have open discussions.

I am 420 friendly but do not smoke or drink. I am just personally afraid of substances due to some bad experiences but I do not mind if you do these things.

I really like doing outdoor things like hiking, swimming, driving, biking, or just walking around, but I have struggled to find someone else who can/ wants to do these things with me semi regularly. I am also getting more and more into gaming. I have a PC and discord. I'd really like someone to show me some games, especially MTG. I am interested in D&D as well. I am also really drawn to people who like anime and get really excited about showing me different shows they are into and such.

At this point all I really have for friends are my girlfriend whom I live with and my best friend down the street who is nonbinary. I'd really like to have a guy friend around my age ideally. I struggle with maintaining close friendships with men, but it's something I'm really needing in my life (and also something I've never really had).

Thanks for reading until the end. I 'm not sure if there's too much/ not enough information on here, but I hope it gets me somewhere.
