Anybody Into Reading?

Hey y’all,

I’m 24m located in Surrey and recently bought a bunch of books that I am trying to read. The books are related to finance as I am trying to understand this more. Just out of curiosity, anyone else in this community interested in learning and reading?

Any interest in a Christmas Karaoke downtown?

I'm free on the 20th (Friday) and a friend is interested, but I'd love to meet new people as well!

We're M and F, mid 30s and early 20s respectively. Singing talent not required! I'm primarily coordinating via the discord server but I can work something out for people who don't want to use it!

30M, looking for 420 friends to listen to music/chill/play games with

Hey all, I've moved around quite a bit and found myself settled down here and after a few years I still don't know many people and my close friends are all elsewhere.

Would love to smoke some weed and share some music with people who are down. I'm def a bit of a homebody but started going to the gym recently so also down for smoking/gym buddies.

I also have a 22 year old gamer girlfriend who is looking for friends as well, but doesn't have to be included! We both are also happy to have couple friends over as well. I'm a big Genshin/Star rail player and she is a big valorant one.

Gender doesnt matter too much to me, but be over 20 and under 40 please!

Let’s get mad (make anxious decisions) together 😜

lol now that I got your attention maybe it’s a weird call out I’m new to this making friends from Reddit thing I’m tentatively set to adventure out against the cold, it would be nice to step out of my comfort zone and make friends in this closed off city

Ps: it’s hella foggy today so a description of what you look like can help me find you and not stare too long at strangers 😂

40s M - Looking for walking friends

Just seeing if anyone wants to meet up as walking friends. Currently recovering from a shoulder injury so I’m mainly doing walking as my main source of exercise. Mainly Central Park, but I’ve done other routes as well. I’ve gotten the winter blues in the past, so I’m being more proactive about exercise and getting outside despite the chilly weather. Having some good company and conversation always helps.

I’m pretty open with topics of conversation. We could discuss a wide range of things including:

  • Sports
  • Family, friends, dating
  • Health
  • Self improvement
  • Food, restaurants, snacks
  • Comedy and entertainment
  • Anything else you can think of

I’m a straight guy in his 40s. Feel free to shoot me a message if this interests you. Cheers.

Looking for Manhwa and Gaming buddies

Hello! I just moved to Coquitlam and I'm looking for friends who'd like to hang out both IRL and online!

Who am I:

  • 24, Female. Black with short hair and poor eyesight.

  • I'm a huge manhwa/webtoon nerd (Otome Isekais and Isekais ftw, just started getting a bit into Murim)

  • I love video games too, currently I'm playing Deadlock, Overwatch (unfortunately), Northgard, Kingdoms Reborn, Minecraft. Genshin/Star Rail.

(I am very bad at all of these).

  • I'm also a bit of a digital artist but I'm still learning.

  • I'm a homebody who's trying to to get out more often and looking for people to do it with!

  • I'm not a foodie but I'm trying to get more into cooking and food in general.

What I'm hoping for in a friend:

  • Someone with similar interests or is at least tolerant of me yapping about them 😔

  • Someone who's more extroverted since I'm pretty introverted myself 😅

  • Someone with different interests as well! Always looking to expand my horizons!

  • Yappers! I'm more of a listener honestly.

I'm somewhat better in groups so if you've got an existing friend group already, that's perfect!

I'm looking forward to meeting you!!

22f, chronically online rock/metal enjoyer

i’m maggie! i live in metro vancouver. this is a pretty cool sub, it’s hard to make friends in vancouver, so it’d be sweet if anyone was interested in talking. i’m into video games, alt subculture, rock and metal music, falling down weird wikipedia rabbit holes, reading, and writing. i also have a little discord group for people into alt subculture (rock, metal, goth, punk, indie, geek, whatever sort of stuff).

if you’re interested in talking more let me know!

What are your Dec/Christmas plans?

It's hard to enjoy life in Vancouver when your friends are just too busy for you, away on vacay, hard to meet new people, or just lacking quality friends to hangout regularly. What are your personal plans for December or Christmas? Interested in seeing how others will spend their last month of 2024

Poker tonight in Metrotown

Hey everyone, I’ve recently started hosting biweekly poker games at my place in Metrotown (right next to the mall) on Friday evenings around 6 or 7. So far, we have four people this week, and I have room for two more. Let me know if you’re interested in joining!

We play friendly games, and the buy-in is just $5 to keep it fun and casual.

24M - Second Try, looking for friends / social circle.

Posted some time ago, did not get any positive outcome so trying again. Here we go again folks!

————————————————————————

Hey there folks,

I am Sam, 24m and I just got here in Vancouver a month ago for my Masters.

Ever since I got here I have been having a lack of social circle or friends that I can hang out with. I haven’t explored Vancouver much and would like to experience what Vancouver is all about with a good friend.

I’m pretty open minded, not judgemental and easy to get along with. I enjoy activities including (but not limited to) hiking, nature, gaming, going out for some drinks and partying, or just sitting chatting about life and casual stuff. It can be anything at all.

So if you’re in the same boat as me (doesn’t matter if you’re not), or would like to give a shot over making a new friend. Let me know in the comments or inbox and we’ll get in touch.

Cheers, Sam.

22m rn in Downtown Vancouver, anyone up for an all nighter

Hey everyone! I’m looking to meet new people and have a good time tonight. I’m into photography and have my camera with me right now, so I’d love to take some photos or even get clicked myself!

I’m also into rapping and would be down to hop onto some beats if anyone’s into music. Or we could just chill, walk around, explore the city, and have some good conversations.

If anyone wants to learn a bit about photography, I’d be happy to teach! And if you just want to get clicked, that’s totally cool too

Hit me up if you’re up for something fun!

35M - watch Wicked tomorrow (lunch)?

my US-based workplace has Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow so I'm suddenly free and was thinking of watching Wicked (it's not as crowded during weekdays so we can listen to the songs in peace. lol)... will be available from lunch to afternoon only. We can go grab food first and talk...

...preferably someone who actually likes Broadway musicals and not just the "hype" or shares similar passions (traveling, trying to learn instruments and foreign languages, japanese culture, gaming, indoor plants, cafe hopping, reading self-improvement books and fantasy novels)

Please message me directly so we can set a time and place ;)

P.S. a bit busy after work and weekends (badminton, choir or building stuff with friends) so I do appreciate if you connect (due to similar interests) and be patient as I get back to you if ever that's your availability 🙏

27F looking to make friends :)

I recently moved to downtown Vancouver and although most of my time here has been amazing, I’m really starting to feel the loneliness now that it’s the holiday season. I was hoping to make some friends to check out some of the cool events happening downtown.

A little about me, 27F, I am in school and work part time. I have a lot of downtime lately, so I have been enjoying different events around the city. I’m a foodie so I like going to different restaurants and bars. I’m also really into cute cafe and Vancouver has so many!

I do enjoy my alone time but living and working (mostly) alone has led to me having maybe too much of it. Between that and adjusting to the darker/gloomier days has been quite difficult.

I’m looking to make connections with other girls who are into some of the same things I am!

I’m also new to Reddit… haha

26F - let’s be friends

Hi! I’m 26F, would love to venture out and make some more friends here :)

A little about me:

  • Enjoys low key weekday after-work activities (usually downtown, just chatting)
  • Likes cute animals, indie/board games, Nintendo/Pokemon stuff, Asian food, promotional items, chasing marketplace deals
  • Taking inventory of stickers and Pokemon cards
  • Frequents art markets (and spends too much money u.u)
  • Open to trying new chill and low energy activities, games, crafts, hobbies in Vancouver!

Primarily looking for people in their mid 20s (without an NSFW profile). Please tell me a little about yourself when you message me!

Can’t wait to meet and get to know you guys :)

Two spots for trivia tomorrow evening in downtown if anyone is interested

Hi all, mid 30s (M & M) couple here looking for platonic friends/expand our social circle. We're supposed to do trivia with friends tomorrow but something came up for them so now instead of cancelling we thought we might as well use the opportunity to meet other like minded folks around our age.

A little about us: Work construction/eastern time (ie start early/end early) so tend to be off early in the afternoon but that also means sleeping early (which makes it difficult because most people want to hang out after 7-8pm).

Love going for walks/exploring the city, especially when it's sunny, and given that one of us is a transplant from Quebec, very developed palate for coffee/wine, loves food, and also art/culture.

23M from North India seeking to make some international friends!

Hi, my friends call me Sam! I came to Vancouver in 2021 and I've been looking to meet new people. My current friends cannot meet up at times due to work, responsibilities and different schedules. I come from a tiny countryside area back home but I deeply integrated into North American culture for quite a while. I enjoy nature, big fan of diverse music such as Daft Punk, AC/DC and several Japanese composers, recently got into fitness, enjoy video game culture a lot (but don't have the time or friends to play them with), and a big fan of international cuisines however, I'm a vegetarian and non-alcoholic so my options are limited. Haven't had the chance to explore Vancouver much but if you wanna meetup and go out someday shoot me a DM!

20M Trying to find Friends!

Hey, I'm located in the Kerrisdale area of Vancouver but am open to going distances, I'm a UBC student who performs stand up comedy part time, loves gaming and poker, but also just chilling and talking about life with friends over some drinks or something. I'm also performing a stand up comedy show this Friday at UBC, let me know if you want me to get you a ticket, could be a great way to break the ice!

29F - Looking for friends!

Hey! I’ve been in Vancouver for over a year and a half now, and I have yet to find my people! Would love to find a genuine group of friends to spend time with.

I’m into going to shows (live music), skating (ice or roller), nature walks/hikes, seeing stand-up comedy, reading (would love to join a book club!), going to the movies, thrifting, board/card games, grabbing a coffee or trying new craft beers!

A little bit about me:

I’m vegan I have a small dog Into all kinds of music but gravitate towards rock/punk/metal/folk/indie/alternative I like reading mostly fiction, fantasy, thriller/mystery novels I’m from Manitoba

EDIT: I have received an overwhelming and awesome response to this post!! Trying to respond to as many messages as I can. It seems like music is a common denominator, and it would be rad to get a group of music friends to check out some shows!! If anyone has any ideas of how to organize this or has any show suggestions coming up, I am all ears! Cheers :)

UPDATE: I’ve created a WhatsApp group so we can better connect those of us interested in live music and going to shows! Messaging those who’ve expressed interest so we can hopefully get the ball rolling :).

Forgive me for struggling to keep up with all of the awesome messages, if you’re interested in joining the WhatsApp group, send me a message!

Also, I tried to narrow it down to music because that seems to be a common denominator, but I’m sure other plans can be made depending on interest!
