New friends (all are welcome) that think company matters more than activity?

Hopefully that makes sense. I'm a 24 year old male living in new west, looking for new friends that like talking during the week and hangin on weekends! I'm open to anyone 22+ -- your gender, race, city you live in etc dont matter to me, and this is strictly platonic. I find that if you're with the right person/people, you'll have a good time no matter what you're doing or not doing

A bit about me: born and raised in the lower mainland, currently work in IT, used to work with animals, training to work in the performing arts, bad at biographies and small talk. I'm very much into music, movies and tv of all genres; it would be cool to find people that like to share and discuss that stuff with.

Also into most branches of science, reading, health n wellness, art, philosophy, fitness, hiking, pop culture, bars/restaurants, museums, nightclubs, nature, history, fashion, supernatural stuff, true crime, roller coasters, self improvement and... memes. I drink alcohol in social settings, smoke weed, and occasionally use psychedelics. However if you are sober, i will be too

I can be extroverted and chatty, hold a conversation about most things, and get along with mostly everyone. i dont take life too seriously and am good at finding the humour and absurdity in things. I've been told my sense of humour is sarcastic, dry and deadpan. Like aubrey plaza mixed with Deadpool

we might not be a match if you're: not comfortable socializing, easily shocked/offended, trying to sell me some shit, or a believer in hateful or oppressive politics

Anyways i've clearly been rambling, send me a message my friend and tell me about yourself. You are also welcome to ask me literally anything

30+F looking for friends in Lower Mainland

Hey everyone, I'm looking to make some new friends that actually want to meet up and hang out.

I am a 30+F, moving to Kits soon from New West, I'm into trucks (long live Ford F' Rangers!) and knowing the makes and models of random cars I see out and about, watching thrillers/international movies/documentaries, birding in the summer, cooking cool recipes and sharing food, fried pickles and the occasional cider (definitely not a reg drinker), very much into black tea, alternative music and shows (think Yo La Tengo, Washed Out, The Chameleons, Bat for Lashes, Pinback, etc). I'd love some friends that want to just go grab dinner sometimes or walk on the beach, play pool/bowling/darts, etc.

I know we're all here looking to make some buddies so let's do it, flakers abstain. I value follow through, honesty, and companionship.

Looking for New Friends near South Van

Hi there!

I'm +30/F based in South Vancouver. I’m deaf and looking to make some new friends in Lower Mainland. Preferably between 30 to 40. A major plus if you know American Sign Language (ASL).

I like playing racquet sports like tennis and badminton. I'm a beginner in most of them.

Some things I like to do are cooking, playing some casual games, or watching foreign films. I'd love some friends that want to just go grab dinner sometimes or walk, hike, etc. Also those who enjoy staying active and don’t mind a little friendly competition.

Anyone want to play bingo in a few weeks?

I’ve been wanting to visit Planet Bingo on Commercial Drive for a while now. I don’t know how it works there but according to the website, there’s games from open to close. Open to other bingo halls if you have suggestions.

Edit: glad to learn there’s quite a few people interested! I’ll let the post simmer for a little longer and then create a group chat :)

One year in, ready to make some new connections

Hey! I’m 24(M) moved to Vancouver last year as an international student studying digital marketing. When I’m not buried in assignments, I love getting lost in a good book at the library or hiking to discover new spots around the city. If you’re into interesting conversations, spontaneous adventures, and a bit of humor, let’s connect and see where it goes!

L4 D&D Player South Vancouver

Hi reddit! We are a party of two trans women (20, 27) and a nonbinary person (25) with myself (TF23) as DM.

We are looking for one or two individuals who bring good vibes, are easygoing, and enjoy both roleplay and combat in 5e.

I am running a campaign that I'm calling The Well of Ascension and it's about a legendary fountain of youth that is rumored to be a pathway to divinity. You are to assist the Pegille Republic (think steampunk fantasy setting Wakanda, but a tad more corrupt) in securing the Well of Ascension against the Imperial forces of the Titania Empire (deeplore and deep magical secrets. Ancient magics lost to time and the whims of the gods). On the deck of a flying ship, captained by the Pirate Queen, your party of hired mercenaries accompany Lt. Technika, an Omnilimb Artificer.

Can't say much more without major spoilers but some factions include the Moonstalker Conclave, the Finisordo Alpha Team, Azriel the right hand of the Lady of Light, and much more.

Preferably (but not necessarily) part of the LGBTQ+ Community and/or a woman. Strictly speaking, everyone is welcome but please be respectful.

Ideally someone aged between 19-35, likes pizza, is 420 friendly (only very mild intoxication while playing D&D), and wants to make four new friends.

Playing on Fridays usually in the afternoon but can do evening as well. We plan one month ahead. The whole campaign will be played in 12 sessions over 6 months and will be played IRL in South Van.

TLDR: looking for a d&d player who is ideally queer and between 19-35 years old.

If you're interested, please feel free to DM me or leave a comment! I'd like to meet over coffee first to see if we have a good vibe match for D&D.

ADVENTURE AWAAAAITTSSSS

EDIT: Sorry! Not looking anymore. I've got so many requests it's hard to choose who to accept 😅 I'll be sure to run one shots in the future so no worries if you couldn't join this time

Poker in white rock / south surrey area

We recently moved to the area and this Saturday are hosting a poker game at our house, currently 7 people committed from here and our friends. We could use couple of more and make it a full table.

We are a couple of Indian origin in our mid 30s and play at least once a month. Happy to meet couple or new faces if anyone wants to join. We usually pay with around $20, cash game no tournaments. BYOB.

There is no fees or rake, and it’s 100% legal to play poker if you don’t charge any fees so please don’t respond about laws.

New to Vancouver - Need casual hang outs!

Hi all,

I’m 22F, moved to Vancouver at the beginning of summer and have yet to make any friends. I’ve fallen into a bit of a depressive schlump since the move and have also been recovering from a little heartbreak that’s made finding my community all the more complicated when I avoid people like the plague.

A bit about me: I live a pretty active lifestyle, been going for runs at least a few times a week. I do aerial silks and am almost always stretching/doing yoga at home. I work a morning job as a server at a breakfast place so my afternoons/evenings are almost always free. I’m in school to be an aesthetician and would love to practice some spa services on someone! I smoke a lot of weed. Not a big drinker but I don’t mind going out for beers once in a while!

I’m hoping down the line I’ll have more energy to go out and really explore all the fun activities this city has to offer, but for now I don’t want to overwhelm myself and am just looking for people who’d like some casual quality time together. I live in the West End and would love someone to go on walks with, cafe visits, or even just linking up for 20 minutes to smoke a joint together

34M looking for folks to watch world cinema with

I'm by no means a cinema nerd, and I don't know many actors or cinematographers' names, but I really enjoy watching films and appreciating the story. I've always wanted to dive into cinema chronologically, but since I'm dedicating less and less time to watching, that's probably a long shot now. Still, I think watching together could enhance the experience, and I miss doing this with my friends back home. Often I find myself relating what I see in a movie to what I'm reading at the moment, and it adds another layer to my take or consolidates it. Sometimes, the cultural background helps me catch subtle details that might get lost in translation or subtitles. For example, I recently watched Fish & Cat, and I was amazed by the single-shot take and non-linear time flow, focusing on one character at a time to loop back and continue the flow with another one. I realized that someone who doesn't know the original language might miss some of the artistic maneuvers happening there. That's where we can help each other better understand and feel the films. I'm interested in exploring different cultures through cinema while enjoying great movies. And better for me if your English isn't perfect, so I don't feel so bad about my own!

Most of the movies I'm keen on will be available through rarefilmm or Kanopy. We can have a get-together at Cinematheque and hop at each other's places from time to time.

Update
If interested, please send me a chat and we'll talk in a group chat.

introvert looking for friends

hey M29 here, I live close to Brentwood, up until now I had a very small circle and after school everyone went their separate ways. I started going to movies and pretty much everywhere alone, and the other day I opened my phone to talk to someone, realized I don't have a lot of friends. I'm shy at first, but open up pretty quick after meeting/talking for a while.
So I thought I would give a try here, I'm planning to watch Venom movie 3.45 show tomorrow at Brentwood, wondering if anyone is on the same boat and want to join me for the movie.
Thanks

P.S excuse my English as it is not my first language

39 m looking for a friend to hang out with!

Hello and a happy, windy Monday. I'm a 39-year-old married guy here in the tri-city area and I'm looking to make a female friend to hang out with. I'm hoping to find a companion to enjoy some different vibes and shared interests.

A bit about me: I’m funny, nerdy, and have a love for all things horror—whether it’s a classic scary movie or something new with jump-scares! I'm also into grabbing an occasional drink, going for long walks, or hitting a trail for a hike. I might drop a science fact or two, and I can promise a good conversation.

If you’re up for some laughs, and just enjoying the city, feel free to DM me! Cheers :)

27m - looking to form a group of clubbing friends.

I do drink, but not interested in doing drugs to have a good night. I just really enjoy going out dancing to all types of music, prefer cheaper and not crazy expensive nights out. Not the bottle service / table type of guy. Looking for good vibes and to meet new people.

Why do people disappear after making posts here?

Just wondering why a lot of people disappear after making posts here or exchanging numbers if their goal was to make connections and seek friendship. I'm genuinely confused.

Difficulty making friends in Vancouver area.

Hello, I'm looking for local Discord friends that live locally. I'm on the older side, so I was hoping that I could find people who are at least in their 30s. A lot of people on Discord are in their teens and twenties. Looking for casual gaming and maybe a few deep, respectful conversations along the way. I'm sometimes pretty busy, but maybe on a weekend or something we can "hang out"? As many people on Discord are usually too far away, the possibility of doing stuff in person is not possible...

45m Looking for friends of any kind

Fairview Slopes area, near VGH. doesn't matter where you are, I have a car and an Escooter.

Been living here since 2010, made 2 friends who dropped off the face of the earth. Everyone else I know I knew before arriving here. They're too busy with their own lives to hang out even semi regularly.

This probably sounds lame, but I've pretty much given up on making any new connections, and have relegated myself to being a loner. I'm comfortable with that, but it does get pretty lonely at times.

Interests include

Martial Arts (I've practiced for over 35yrs... 22 in a dojo and the rest on my own)

Video games - but I'm not really into FPS games like COD and such... More into roguelites like Hades or open world Action like HZW and GOW, Control, etc. Also enjoy Turn based tactical games like MOO, XCom 2, and the like.

Live Music

As previously stated, I own a ridiculously fast Escooter (Burn E2 Max) and I enjoy leisure rides around town.

Poker

Snowboarding

Many other things.

I smoke weed and use other recreational drugs when I'm around someone who does the same, but I can take it or leave it... They aren't fun without someone to hang with.

Pretty chill person overall, kinda socially shy until I get to know people.

Feel free to DM me.

32m looking for metal fab friend who likes the outdoors.

Hi. I would like to meet someone who I can work with to make camping equipment together. I have already built an awesome tipi tent and a wood burning stove which I have been using for a couple of years now. Recently, I've been wanting to make a polygonal dome tent/gazebo as my next iteration to accomodate for my unique camping needs. Is there anyone who would be interested in helping me with this? If you have an understanding of how to put stuff together at intricate angles, I will be very excited to have a chat with you. Thank you.
