i’m around oakland and i’m into music photography tattoos food and exploring random spots so i’m open to suggestions
Hey all!
Long story short, I have no friends.
Short story long;
I'm 30m and fiance is 29f. I was born in Pittsburgh, moved around the country a whole bunch and eventually moved back for family. We're near Moon now.
I'm in construction but find it verryyy rare to share interests with other construction workers.
I'm also somewhat of an introvert as in I don't exactly like going out doing things alone (and my fiance would rather stay home a lot of the time), but I do like to go out with friends! The catch; I don't have any friends, lol. I also kind of work a ton, so sadly, scheduling things can get a bit rough sometimes. I also have a gym membership to Planet Fitness I've yet to use, ugh. It's hard maintaining the motivation to go.
For the most part we share the same interests so these apply to both of us with some minor exceptions.
I like playing board games (we have a bit of a small collection - the haunting at house on the hill may be my favorite), card games and video games (lately it has been pokopia). I love comedy, I'm a foodie and love finding actually good food (usually end up cooking), building things, gardening and working on improving the house / work on projects. If I had it my way, Bernie Sanders would be president. I like going to watch movies on theaters. We have 3 dogs and like taking them out when we can.
I like a variety of shows... The office, family guy, Bob's Burgers, the great north, solar opposites, letterkenny, new girl, Abbott elementary, game of thrones, the blacklist and so much more.
GMM is one of my favorite YouTube channels.
Anime is fantastic. We just finished up AOT and couldn't get enough. FMA Brotherhood is next. Bleach > DBZ (fight me) and I'm super pumped for the final season of The Thousand Year Blood War. Naruto will always hold a special place in my heart. One Punch Man is great as well.
I'm not much of a drinker but will drink occasionally, like during a game night or out at a show.
The only thing I can't really stand is smoking cigarettes (thanks to my parents chain smoking all of the time when we were kids, yay for our generation)
All of that being said, how do ya'll Pittsburgh introverts make friends? I hope one day people other than family will come over for barbecues, lol.
Hey everyone, I’m 24 year old intern who just moved here for the summer for work. I drove here from my university and have been slowly but surely learning the city, its layout, and the general feel of the community. I work out by Imperial but live closer to the Oakland area and I have been finding it a little hard to find 3rd spaces or any place to meet new people, have fun, and unwind.
I love all things from games, malls, outdoor activists, books, comics, anime, food, coffee, tea, vibing, bars, and anything gothic. Usually, university clubs, lounges or community events are fun places to meet people but I guess being on my own has made it harder for me to find similar places in the city. I don’t want to just be on my own the whole time I’m here and would love to meet new people, get involved, and get out of the house.
I have a car and can drive mostly anywhere. I love all sorts of things and would be down to find cool places to hangout, meetup, get lit, or do whatever activity!
If you have any suggestions or recommendations on what to do? I’m super open to anything and love making friends! Thanks guys, your input will be awesome and greatly appreciated!
I am a 23 F moved to Pittsburgh with my dog last year. We enjoy outdoor adventures. We usually do many outdoor stuff alone but I’ve never backpacked alone before (I think this is something I will have to learn eventually). I live inside the city!
We want to find a backpacking buddy to go on adventures together. We plan to thruhike LHHT this June. Ideally non-male, similar age as me, with backpacking experience. Most ideally if you have a dog too!!!!
41yo, very outdoorsy and recently single. I don't have any friends as my focus has been on family.. you know the same story everyone has.
Anyways, as I am beginning to find myself I want to do some Kayaking trips, sight seeing, multiple weekend legs with camping and I now find myself needing someone else who can come, park at the put out spot, and to ensure I don't die alone in the water during a class 2 lol.
Anyways, looking for someone who is interested. Male/female, doesn't matter as long as you can paddle, know how to camp, and can hold your own.
I’ve been getting into tumbling as a 24 year old and I was wondering if there were any other beginner adults who maybe always wanted to try, but are intimidated by the scene and would like to attend the adult sessions (8-9pm Tuesdays and Wednesdays) at Gymsport Athletic Center. It can be difficult getting into hobbies as an adult especially with specific stigmas around age, size, gender, etc, so I wanted to extend a friendly hand because most things are better with community and judgement free support.
So yeah if there are any other adults who would like to attend together I’d love to plan to have other people to go with! comment or message if this sounds up your alley !
I’m a 30 year old woman and, as the title says, I’m looking for nerdy friends! I live a ways outside of Pittsburgh (near IUP) but it’s the closest major city. I love video games, anime, tv shows/movies, reading (I say but I haven’t read in a while), drawing, and talking about deeper things or science, or just talking about the most inane and goofy stuff.
I love board games and card games, but don’t have any friends locally who play. I’ve never played D&D but I’d like to (never had the chance to play).
Even if it’s just sometimes chatting with people with common interests and not hanging out, that’d be nice. As many people on here have said, it’s tough making friends in your 30s. My boyfriend suggested I try here or Bumble friends; thought I’d try here first
Thanks guys!
Howdy people, definitely not my first post here, I keep posting and removing cause I get anxious or overwhelmed lmao
But yeah, recently out of a 2ish year relationship that was a sinking ship that I took too long to abandon, and realized pretty quick that I isolated myself from most other people and now I don't really have many people, outside of my small group that tries to get together once a month, I'd love to have a more consistent friend/group though! I'm in the Brookline/dormont area also, for brevity's sake.
Like most of you, I'm a huge nerd, especially for PC gaming, and ESPECIALLY rhythm gaming, notably rock band and guitar hero, I've been playing them since I was 12 so it's basically a part of me now. But I enjoy a lot of other titles and genres, or the occasional friendslop game (I hate that term but everyone knows what I mean lmao)
Outside of that, I'm really into photography as well, so maybe it would be nice to meet another photographer to take photo walks together or whatever, get each other out of the house for a bit.
I'm also recently getting back into anime, I didn't let myself watch it forever because I got the "ick" about it from a former partner that turned me off it altogether, but I've been rewatching naruto and enjoying it.
Shoot me a message if you think we got some things in common :) I'm a bit hard to open up at first but I promise I'm not that boring lol
Looking for some other couples or parents of young kids to hang out with. Been here 4 years and have a 3yr old. Turns out its hard making new friends in your 30s
are you in school? are you starting your first job or internship? do you have some time this summer? wanna be friends?!?!?!!
hello!!!
I am a 22f located downtown and after graduating college, finding and maintaining friendships has been SO hard. I wanted to reach out to the ahem online community to see if anyone else is in the same boat. I love to try new food places or even just WALKING. the city life gets crazy that we don't get to appreciate the simple things AKA nature!!! Taking a morning walk together would be epic. I am a very easy going person however not very decisive. if you have a hang out idea in mind that would be superb. once again, just please be around my age!!!!! so i can relate to you....obvie.... and dont be dry :( it makes me sad ok
Hey! I’m Moon 35 and currently living in the Pittsburgh area with my vanilla partner (we’re poly) and our 5 cats and 1 dog. 😊
Right now, I’d really love to find more friends especially people who enjoy genuine connection and fun, low-pressure hangouts. I’d love someone who would want to go on walks, visit the zoo, explore local events, or just spend time together doing cozy/fun activities.
A few important things:
I’m currently not looking for anything sexual. I prefer to actually get to know people first and build comfort, trust, and friendship naturally before anything else would ever happen.
Things I enjoy:
🖤 Animals
🖤 Walks & hiking
🖤 Horror movies
🖤 Reading
🖤 Music
🖤 Naps & cuddles
🖤 Cute/cozy vibes
🖤 And plenty more
If this sounds like your kind of energy, feel free to message me! And even if we don’t fully match, I’m always open to making new online friends too. 😊
Hey everyone
I’m 22M and fairly new to Pittsburgh. My English is okay but not perfect, so I hope that’s alright.
I used to have friends and people around me before, but moving to a new city new country has been tough socially. Starting from zero and trying to make friends here has honestly been harder than I expected. Most days I either go out alone or stay home scrolling on my phone, and I really miss just having normal conversations and spending time with people.
I’d like to meet people to hang out with, grab food, explore the city, go for walks, or just chill. I’m friendly, openminded, and pretty easygoing.
If anyone is also new here or open to meeting someone new, feel free to message me.
So yes, my small but mighty group of friends and family are superfans of memorial day weekend. We number anywhere from 2-10 people of various ages. About half of us do not imbibe the alcoholic beverages, but we are not allergic to events that involve alcohol as long as the "partying" component is not the main focus of the gathering.
We would love to get outdoors in a casual way, such as festivals, river rides or anything involving water [boating, swimming etc] , live music, craft shows, fairs or vendor expos, or any other new experiences that I've not thought of or listed.
I'd like to put *emphasis on the live music* though because we are ALL very serious about our love of music. We are knowledgeable, yet open minded and always excited to learn and find new music and performers.
I've been looking around everywhere and I'm not even seeing the usual suspects I keep in mind as backup for memorial day this year. The airshow in latrobe has been canceled this year and the community days fair in greensburg isn't showing that it's happening this year.
Ive got someone coming in for the weekend from the Detroit area who loves Pittsburgh and I don't want to let him down.
We are all quite welcoming and friendly and are happy to meet new people, so hopefully you guys have some great social and sunshiney ideas for us!! Thanks so much!

I know this is probably gonna be a little weird, but whatever. I'm disabled and I barely have enough energy to manage my life, let alone maintain friendships. It's me and my fiancee and I don't really have anything left for anyone else, at least not consistently. Going out and socializing just isn't in the cards for me, and after years of therapy I'm at peace with that. Friendships take time and energy, and I need that time and energy to take care of myself. That's okay.
That said I see tons of posts on here from really cool people and I just know if things were different I'd be friends with a lot of you. There are so many posts from people where I feel like it'd be so cool to grab a drink, catch a movie or just chill and watch a game with them. I never respond because I just don't have it in me, but it's nice to think about. I know a lot of people come here looking to connect with other people, and I just wanted to say I'm rooting for all of you. I hope you manage to find whatever you're looking for and that it makes you happy.
And if you're ever lonely and feel like talking to a random on the internet, my DMs are always open. We can talk about sports, the weather, that douche Greg from accounting, food, the city, your sister's wedding last weekend and how yours was totally better, or even just how your day went. Hell we can even talk politics if you really want to. I know what it's like to stare at your eerily quiet phone and hope someone would reach out. So this is me reaching out to whoever may need it. I hope you're all doing well, and have an awesome day 😁
Hello yinz where’s a good place for people in there 40s to meet single women either dating apps or in person.
Asking for a friend.
I have been living in Pittsburgh for the last 7 years but the people I meet always end up leaving town.
I live in East Liberty and I work at a tech company nearby.
I would like to have more permanent friends in Pittsburgh. I like it here and I am planning to stay.
I am not from the US originally but from France but I become more and more American by the day.
I am into baking, cooking, skiing, swimming, scuba diving, movies, shooting guns. I read a lot about history and politics. I am also highly highly conservative which makes it sometimes difficult to connect with people.
Who wants to be my friend?
I (28M) got out of a 9 year relationship where I didn’t have many friends besides my partner.
I was trying to find other singles in my area or just something to do around the area since I’m not from here. I moved here a few years ago and have had trouble acclimating and finding a social group.
I don’t really enjoy drinking at bars or club type environment. I’m more into nerdy stuff. Tcgs, video games, and dnd( not that I’ve played a campaign yet) I want to find likeminded individuals. I’ve been battling severe depression and I think getting outside and hanging with other people will help. Literally any tips or ideas on where I could go. Thanks in advance
Hi everyone! I posted a couple of months ago, but I wanted to do one more just in case anyone else is interested.
I’m a 39M living in Bridgeville. My husband and I moved to the area a few years ago, and while I’ve hit up some board game meetups, I’m still looking for my people, the kind of friends who enjoy the social side of gaming as the actual game itself.
When running games, I gravitate towards being a "narrative-first" GM, so I'm more into collaborative storytelling and character drama than tactical dungeon crawls or math-heavy combat. I’m looking to run some one-shots in some of the systems that have been collecting on my shelves with the hope of eventually forming a consistent group.
I’d love to start with a one-shot of Vaesen (think spooky 19th-century Nordic mystery/horror). If we click, I have a long list of other stuff I’ve been wanting to run, like The One Ring 2e, Trail of Cthulhu, Daggerheart, Deadlands, and 13th Age. I also have a number of board games if people just want to hang out and play those.
A couple of callouts to see if my table might be a great fit for you:
I’d love to meet those interested over coffee here in the South Hills before we game together, just to get to know each other a little. The first one or two one-shots will be in a public space.
If you’re interested, drop a comment below. I have a quick Google Form I’m using to keep track of everyone’s schedules and game tastes that I'll send to those who reach out. Looking forward to meeting some of my fellow South Hills geeks!
