UPDATE: New Friends in Lakewood

Hello Lakewood! I made a post a little over a week ago about putting together a “new friends” night at one of the bars in Lakewood for people in a similar situation as me (26M looking to make new friends). That post is still up on my profile, so go check it out if you haven’t seen it.

I wanted to provide an update here as I got several DMs and comments asking how it went, and I can honestly say I was pleasantly surprised with just how well everything turned out! We had a group of 15-20 people show up and everyone to my knowledge had a great time! Towards the end of the evening we were able to take a photo of the group, so I’ve included it on this post to share! Thank you to everyone who showed up and made it a great evening and thank you to Speed Trap for hosting us!

I got several additional requests to join a similar event, but on the weekend. We will likely be going out again Saturday evening next weekend (August 22nd) and we have a groupchat on WhatsApp. If anyone who is not already in the group is interested in being added, send me a DM (ideally those in their 20s/30s).

Edit: Saturday we will be having a cookout in the park followed by Mahall’s if anyone is interested!

New Friends Bar Night in Lakewood

I made a post on here a few weeks ago looking for friends and I received a lot more replies than I thought I would! I was trying to balance everything and meet up with everyone who sent me a message but some fell through the cracks (apologies). However what I gathered is there are plenty of people in Lakewood and the surrounding areas that are looking to make some friends and meet new people.

So I figured the easiest thing to do is just have an open invite to a bar in Lakewood sometime this week (probably Wednesday evening 8/12). Feel free to send me a DM if you’re interested or we can just have an open discussion in the comments!

I am 26M and most of the people who reached out were in a similar age range. My original post is up on my profile if anyone wants to know more about me!

Edit: Wednesday August 12 at 6:30pm at Speed Trap! Send me a DM with an RSVP so I can let them know ahead of time if it’s going to be a really large group. I also got several replies asking for another time, so I’d be happy to organize more gatherings if this one is a success (will send updates if that is the case)!

Looking for Friends

Hello all - I (26M) am relatively new to the Cleveland area. I currently have my own place near Lakewood and am just looking to make friends. I love playing tennis, disc golfing, swimming, going to the bar, traveling, cooking, watching movies, and learning new languages (I speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese, but I would like to learn another one or two). I typically work Monday-Friday 9 to 5 but that sometimes changes and I travel a lot for work as well. I am in a relationship but she works in a restaurant so she’s working most evenings and weekends which means most of the time when I’m not at work I’m free.

I see a lot of posts suggesting joining a social group, but with the traveling for work it would be hard to remain consistent. Idk I guess if anyone has any better suggestions let me know or if anyone is in the same boat looking for friends just DM me.
