Hey everyone,

I’m 25M, originally from Bulgaria, and I moved to Calgary in 2023. I’ve been here for a little over three years now, and although I’ve been keeping busy with college, work, and life in general, I haven’t really managed to build a proper circle of friends.

I recently graduated from college, and I’ve realized that I really miss having a group of people I can hang out with, share interests with, and just enjoy life with. So I figured I’d give this a shot!

Music is probably the biggest thing for me. I’m heavily into hip-hop and rap, especially artists like XXXTentacion, Ski Mask the Slump God, NBA YoungBoy, NLE Choppa, and Big Boogie. I’d genuinely love to meet people who listen to similar music. I never had real friends I can blast the music I like with, get hyped over our favourite songs, discover new artists, and just vibe together. I’ve also made rap music myself in the past, including recording songs and shooting music videos. It’s still something I’m passionate about and would love to get back into when I have more time and resources.

Gaming is another big interest of mine. I used to make YouTube videos and stream games. I’ve played a lot of story-driven games, including Red Dead Redemption 2, the GTA’s. I have games in my library I haven’t played like all seasons of The Walking Dead, Outlast, and the Mafia trilogy. I love games with good stories, but I’ve been so busy that sitting down to play sometimes feels like another commitment rather than a way to relax.
I also enjoy FIFA/EA FC, especially playing against friends. I’d definitely be down for some casual gaming nights, whether online or hanging out at someone’s place.
I used to be into Yu-Gi-Oh! as well, mostly playing with a Blue-Eyes deck. The newer mechanics are a little overwhelming for me, but I’d be open to learning again if I met people who were into it.

I’m also into fitness and sports. I used to hit the gym around 3-4 times a week, but I’ve fallen out of my routine because life has been hectic. I’d love to get back into it. I’m interested in MMA and kickboxing too, and I enjoy playing soccer casually. Nothing competitive, just getting together, having fun, and getting some exercise.

A little more about me: I spent around 10 years doing traditional Bulgarian folk dancing before moving here, so music and performing have always been a big part of my life. I also enjoy being outdoors, going for walks, exploring places around Calgary, and occasionally fishing.
I’m not necessarily looking for people who share every single one of my interests. I’d just love to meet some genuine, easygoing people around my age who are interested in building actual friendships rather than just hanging out once and never speaking again.
Whether it’s listening to music, gaming, hitting the gym, playing soccer, or just grabbing food and talking about random stuff, I’m pretty open.
If any of this sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to comment or send me a DM. Would be cool to meet some new people here!

So as the title says I wanna make new friends or even possibly a best friend preferably a male. I just wants friends to travel around, grab coffee, go to the mall etc or WHO KNOWS INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL!!!! I do have friends but I wanna make more as I wanna make more connections. I'm a Male 18, like anime/manga, go to the gym frequently, in my first year, love travelling/ exploring, from Calgary and meeting new people!!! I did join clubs as well! DM ME IMAO!

EDIT: I opened my dms lol

Hey everyone! Organizing two hikes next weekend with our hiking group and wanted to invite anyone down to get outside and meet people.

We’re hitting King’s Creek Ridge on Saturday, Oct 24, which is a steep, 4–5+ hr grind with insane ridge views. It’s pretty tough for beginners, so bring boots, poles, warm layers, spikes just in case, bear spray, and 2L water. 

We’re also doing Heart Creek Bunker on Sunday, Oct 25 (or Monday Oct 26), which is super chill and flat to explore the old cave. Runners are fine, but bring an actual flashlight/headlamp (phone lights don't work inside), a warm jacket, and bear spray. 

We have a group chat where we organize all our hikes and carpools, so drop a comment or shoot me a DM if you want an invite or want to pull up!

This is a shot in the dark but I’m looking to gather some spirit island players for an in person gaming session next month. Maybe like once every month or two but no need to commit to anything up front.

For those who are just curious spirit island is a cooperative board game where you basically play the natives fighting off colonization from settlers. It’s not that complex but there’s a steep learning curve and it probably takes 3-5 games to start to feel comfortable. My Gloomhaven friends find it harder to learn than that, for comparison.

Don’t need a big group but would hope for 4-6 players ideally.

Hello

Hey I'm a 34m, just recently got into magic with the release of the hobbit set. I've built a few decks but haven't been able to go out to a local night at a lgs. I am sort of nervous about going alone. I'm hoping to find a few people that play and maybe wanna just go to a cafe or lgs and play a few games and maybe teach me a few things? Anyways, I've got two young kids, also love hockey and climbing and board games.

Hey, I'm pretty terrible at writing these kinds of things, but here goes. I'm looking to expand my social group and just generally get out there more. I generally like all the hobbies that I have, but I recognize that they all don't exactly involve getting out there and talking to people haha. I starting listing everything I want to do and what I already do, but it got way to long. My major interests are Anime and gaming, but I'm definitely trying to push myself to get out there more and meet people and make friends

Hey guys, I am a 33 Male, and grew up in Calgary. I had a good group of friends, not big, but overtime, it became smaller and smaller. People moved away for jobs, found significant others, got busy with families & kids, and connections faded.

I went to Sir Winston Churchill High School, did Engineering at UofC and working as an Engineer downtown in oil & gas. I am a simple person, I value quiet, chill, relaxing things over high energy activities. I love animals, especially cats, I like motorcycles, cars, thriller or horror movies, cooking and working on DIY projects. I like a bit of hiking, used to snowboard, I don't partake in competitive sports, but I do love to go to random cafes or long drives in the mountains.

Of course, its that age where I should be settled down with someone, so if something evolves into more than a friendship, that would be a great bonus as well. P.S. I dont drink, or smoke or vape

25F just moved here from Manitoba! Looking for friends in the NW area! Hoping to find someone to work in with, go on hikes, explore the city, and in general be part with this new chapter with me:)

M29 here putting myself out there for anyone interested in making new (and hopefully long-term) friends and memories.

A little about me. Since I was young, I love art and my interests has pushed me into the realm of 3D modelling. I’m lucky to be in a job that let me do what I love. Because of this, my work days can be busy for me and my availability can be limited on weekdays. That said, I’ll never say no to going out for food and drinks (or video games if you’re a homebody)

I’m mainly looking for friends who can put me out of my comfort zone. I’ve never really had any other gay friends. I’ve never went to Twisted Element, watched drag shows, etc. but I’m open to someone showing me the ropes. Apparently, my older gay brother doesn’t think it’s cool for his younger gay brother to tag along lol (fellas, he’s single)

On the opposite end of the spectrum, I am also interested in folks who are active and into sports. I occasionally get free tickets for games from work( typically hockey, sometimes football). That said, I am not at all into sports, so if you’re someone who can help me understand the appeal of it, feel free to DM me.

People were tired of me being skinny, so I made going to the gym my New Year’s Resolution. It’s not going so well. If you can help me feel better about myself - again, doors are wide open.

Sorry if that was too long. I know the newer generations don’t read (I kid, I kid lol). If you’re interested, feel free to introduce yourself. I love hearing people talk about themselves (or talk in general). Looking forward to meeting new friends :)

Hi friends! I (27F) started seriously learning French last month. Despite taking it in school growing up, like most people, I didn’t actually learn much haha. 😅I’m very much a beginner, A1 currently.

I’m thinking of starting a French-speaking and study group in Calgary where people of all levels can get together to chat (en français, of course), exchange notes and resources, do our assignments if we have them, and maybe watch French films, explore French media, or listen to music together.

It would be a fun way to practise our skills, make friends, and connect with others in a low-stakes, low-cost setting outside of formal lessons!

We could meet at libraries or cafés, or even book a room at a board game café if enough people are interested.

We could meet weekly or biweekly, depending on everyone’s availability.

One rule: please, no snobbery! We’re all here to learn, improve, and have fun, regardless of our level. 😊

If you’re interested, comment below or send me a DM! Let’s see if we can get a little French-speaking community going in Calgary. 🇫🇷✨

Bad movie club, board games, venting about life. Anyone wanna join?

Hi everyone! 💗

I'm a 27F, born and raised in Calgary, and a TOTAL girls' girl looking to expand my social circle and meet more like-minded women!

Since graduating uni a couple of years ago, I've noticed that a lot of my friendships have naturally drifted, and I'd love to meet some new gal pals to make memories with!
I love music, going out dancing, crafting, trying new restaurants, grabbing drinks, and yapping about absolutely anything.

I'm genuinely down for anything, whether that's a cozy movie night, a cute café date, a night out dancing, or hitting the bars.
My favourite areas to hang out in Calgary are Kensington and Bridgeland.

I'm especially looking for friends who value female friendships, love making plans, and are excited to build genuine, supportive friendships! 💕

I tend to get along best with women and gay men, and I'm looking for genuine, platonic friendships! 🥰
If this sounds like your vibe, please feel free to message me!

Hi Calgary,
My wife and I recently moved here from Scotland and are looking to build a social circle. We also have a dog. Thought I’d post about both of us.
Me
27, work in sales, and have a car so I’m happy to travel around the city or further afield. Big into the outdoors — hiking, fishing, camping. Also love watching and going to sports, a good pub, and playing pool. Looking to meet some like-minded people to hang out with.
My wife Jamielee
29, a bit quieter and more chilled than me. She’s into reading, Pilates, and dog walks. Looking to meet people and build a relaxed social circle.
If any of that sounds like your vibe, drop a comment or message. Would be great to connect!

To add I enjoy going out for drinks and raves, not sure what the scenes like here

Happy for meet couples but also friends for her and I separate

Hello guys, I moved to Calgary 2 years ago and been looking for friends (it’s been kind of hard lol). I’m an illustrator, children book illustrator if you want to put a label on it, also do 3D and pixel art on a professional level as well, oh and make games as well (Game dev). I take pictures as hobby as well. I’m not exactly a SUPER adventure guy, don’t get me wrong, I’m always open for a hike or adventure, but my niche is within the city.

I don’t own a vehicle, so you’ll have to provide the vehicle HA! But I’m no freeloader, I always try to help with gas or snacks or both.

As for games, I do enjoy the occasional OVERWATCH, but my strength is single player games, that’s why I don’t make mention of games, but, if squading up is your thing on OVERWATCH, then by all means…

Heya all!

I moved back to Calgary just over 2 years ago and my social circle has been quite small since moving back.

I’m open to more friendships and am genuinely looking to meet people. I am also open to dating (straight) if that were to become an option .

Some interests I have are

• Bartending / mixology
• Arts
• Gaming (Pokemon, lord of the rings, league of legends)
• Hiking
• General activities I love learning more about what’s going on in our city
• I also just got a betta fish tank and excited to setup a new aquarium!

I have an open mind when it comes to history and origin and that’s what makes Calgary so great again but I’ve found it challenging with my current job to get to meet people and form meaningful relationships.

I live in the down town area but open to small traveling adventures or meeting anywhere around town really.

If you’re open to getting to meet more people then shoot me a DM and we can chat.

Looking forward to meeting more people :)

Hey, I'm 24M, Chinese, and moved here from Texas about 2 years ago. I speak English and some Chinese. And as the title suggests, I am looking for new friends to attend the festival with.
If anyone's planning to go or is interested in tattoos and wants to tag along, feel free to hit me up.

Hey ya'll, I hope everyone is having a fantastic day! I am writing this post because I do not have a whole lot of friends in my life right now. The loneliness sucks but I'm wanting to put myself out there and not feel the need to isolate myself. Enough yapping and a little bit about myself lol

I'm 24, currently working fulltime, but when I do have some time to myself I love to listen to music (I love my older rock, blues, new wave and alt!). I would also like to be able to go out more and find a reason to do so, so I'm not cooped up inside all day. If any of that speaks to you, please feel free to reach out :)

​

Hey all,

I grew up in Calgary in the NW and never really had the opportunity to make any Filipino friends or try Filipino cuisine. I'm also mostly cooking at home, so it would be nice to go out more and try different cuisines.

A bit about me - I've been working as a social worker for a few years after graduating from U of C. I'm open to networking and making new friends within the field since it was difficult making connections through virtual learning.

I'm mostly playing tennis 3-4 times per week during the summer (3.0-3.5 rating), but would like to get back into squash or pickleball during the winter. 🎾 I just know nothing about booking indoor courts lol. I'm also into road biking/cycling, so I'd love to find a riding partner. I currently have a single speed, so I'm not doing any long rides, mostly just along the Bow River. 🚴

I only have a PC right now, so I'm into FPS, open-world and racing games. Sometimes I'll play on the PS2 emulator too. I also like watercolor painting - mostly botanicals and cards.

Some of my fav films: The Whale, The Florida Project, Past Lives. The Odyssey is the most overrated film of the year lol. Also big into fragrances, so I write reviews and sometimes host a perfume/fragrance club.

Politically and socially progressive, agnostic, and went through religious deconstruction a few years ago, so happy to rant about that topic.

In terms of music, I mostly listen to French rap, indie, pop (Damso, PLK, Angele, etc) so it would be nice to meet some francophones. Unfortunately, don't speak it but would like to learn some phrases. 🇫🇷

I'm in the Bridgeland/central area. Open to any age and gender, and neurodivergent folks are welcome as well. I also don't really have Korean friends, so it might be nice to make some new ones! I'm pretty introverted so trying to put myself out there.

Edit: added some emojis and my music taste

Just moved to Calgary. I’m single and pregnant 13wks and looking to build my community here. Looking to connect with mamas who are in the same boat or similar that could maybe help guide me with pregnancy and baby life/post partum. i’m 28 years old and it’s gonna be my first baby. Also got a small legged fur baby.

I want to go for coffee, walks, maybe go to church together, anything to past time and also get to know each other. 🤍

Hi im learning Japanese and would like to connect with Japanese people

Hey everyone, I'm 35m and am looking for people to climb with!

I primarily climb and calgary climbing centers (chinook and rocky), but i have a multi-gym pass to others around the city as well.

I'm primarily bouldering at the moment, as I've always wanted to improve at it, but i can lead or top rope too!

feel free to DM me or drop a comment!

I moved a few months ago and am struggling to find a social circle. I love painting, working with clay, sewing, collaging, etc. I miss having a group of friends to craft with, and am desperately lacking it here!

I do better with introductions in small group settings as opposed to meeting one on one, but then have an easier time hanging out individually once we’ve met! I may be able to work through the anxiety if we chat a bit before meeting up.

I also have a shiba inu mix who is super goofy and loves other dogs, if anyone’s dog needs a friend.

To put this out there ahead of time, I am queer. I don’t consider it a huge part of who I am, but I don’t hide it and I only want to be around people who are accepting!

Feel free to send a message or comment if you are looking for something similar :)

25M. Like the title says, I am looking to meet new people, preferably in their 20s to 30s. It doesn’t matter if you’re male or female. I like working out and watching soccer (AKA football) ⚽️, as well as skiing and running.

Feel free to comment or DM me
