Anyone want to watch the Jays game tonight (at a bar?)

35 F, massive Blue Jays fan. Watching games alone is fine but things are exciting right now and I'd like to watch with other fans so we can talk about it! I am located in midtown but could potentially meet up elsewhere. Would like to aim for 6 because first pitch is 6:40.

Send me a DM if you're interested! Super casual and no pressure to hang again if we don't vibe. I just want to be around my people when we beat the Rays (please?!!!)

Reddit Toronto Monthly Meetup: Sat. Sept. 5 @ Front & Church, 7:00 p.m. start

Hey all, hope you're having a good week so far! Wanted to give a bit more notice for this one.

Here are the details:

  • The monthly Reddit meetup is a no-cost event open to all genders. No RSVP is required. It is hosted by u/nervousTO, a woman in their early 30s, with support from a group of regular attendees. It's been running since August 2022 and has been described as wholesome.
  • Start time: 7:00 p.m.
  • End time: when the last person leaves or the place closes @ 2 a.m.
  • Location: Duke's Refresher St. Lawrence, 73 Front Street East
  • Where do I go: upstairs, using the stairs directly in front of you when you walk in. There should also be a sign saying Reddit meetup.
  • Perks: We have the upstairs mostly to ourselves; there's also a pool table, and games on the main floor.

Note that no RSVP is required, but that by showing up, you commit to ordering something to support the venue, even if it's just a coke.

Our Q&A is here - I haven't included it with the post as it's quite detailed!

Send me a message or comment here if you have any questions or concerns about anything related to this meetup/questions that aren't answered in the Q&A.

Visiting Toronto/Mississauga

From San Francisco! Born and raised in the Bay Area in California. Grew up going to local punk/hardcore shows, kinda just listen to everything lately.
I came solo to visit some family, but I am 29 and they are all well into their late 40s-50s with kids so it is trickier for them to be able to accommodate where I would want to go lol.

Mostly just want to hit fun shitty dive bars or the like. I am extremely social, but have zero idea where to go. Whatever place has people, I am sure I can strike up a conversation.
A friend recommended Low Bar and said that I would love it, if that gives anyone an idea of what I mean!
Will take recommendations on where to go or anyone that would like to tag along if that resonates with ya. Down to exchange instas or whatever! I’m here till the 28th :~)

33M looking for new friends around DT Toronto

Born and raised in Hong Kong. Lived the second half of my life in Toronto.

As life progress - friend circle is shrinking unfortunately due to people moving out of the city, or out of my life.

I enjoy having conversations over coffee or a pint. I live around the entertainment district and work at a corporate setting.

I have a cat and am married :)

If you are interested - please DM me and I am happy to meet! I am agnostic to what gender you are and am hoping to find people close to my age range.

Seeking girl friends with similar interests & cultural connection

Hi~ I'm (30F) looking to meet other women (25-35) who are interested in any of the following:

- house music / jazz / Spanish and French music
- film (some of my favourite films: Decision to Leave, Reprise, The Great Beauty, In the Mood for Love)
- Asian beauty / makeup
- fitness (running / weight lifting, but open to trying Pilates and other classes)
- k dramas and c dramas (but my all time favourite shows would be Better Call Saul/Breaking Bad, Succession, Hannibal, Westworld)
- art (drawing and painting, but would love to learn wood working and pottery)
- books (wide range of genres)

Some context: I'm adopted and wasn't really interested in connecting with my East Asian roots growing up, and for the last 5 years I've been playing catch up and falling in love with a world that feels simultaneously familiar and foreign to me.

I'd also love to connect with other adoptees!

I work remotely in the health sector and have a background in data science/biology. Aquarius if that matters at all... Friends would describe be as open/non-judgmental, curious, analytical, and unpredictable (in a spontaneous adventure going way).

I'm based in Scarborough but travel downtown weekly to see friends and check out events. Feel free to reach out if you think we may connect :-)

Looking for new girl friends :)

Hi!

I am looking to meet new girl friends to have nice and genuine chats with and possibly develop a friendship. I’ve been trying to make new friends for a while, but it seems like people don’t know how to talk anymore and I constantly end up being ghosted lol.

Anyway, no pressure for a meetup now, we can get to know each other and later on, if we click, we can meet up.

Feel free to DM me if you are interested :)
I am a 31F, married, esl, working Monday to Friday full-time (so no, no spontaneous trips or meetups lol), currently located on the west end. Only interested in talking with other women (no guys, sorry!).

Anyone else super lonely?

Good evening,

Looking for someone to chat with regularly and mutually support each other, so we can both get healthier instead of staying stuck in constant stress.

No pressure to meet up and no expectations beyond kind, consistent conversation. Completely online is perfectly fine. Just asking for no ghosting or a little more kindness than usual 😂.

It’s a lot easier to help each other than to power through alone. If you’re also in a place where having someone to talk to regularly would help, feel free to send a DM.

28M - honestly, just really bored so looking for friends

So here is the thing, I’m a 28m, and honestly, over the years all my friendships have kind of died out.

It’s actually odd, because I decided to go back to school for a program and now the people around me are either 40+ or early 20s so it’s hard for me to find someone in my age group

I work part time, and go to school full time, constantly all over the GTA, extremely active,

I’d love to join like a weekly soccer or rugby game, or set something up like that

I love hiking and being out doors as well,

So if you are in my age range, and would like to hang out, or talk, or just be friends! Hit me up

Anyways! Yeah I don’t know what else to write

Let me know if you’re interested

Edit #1 (this group will be between the ages of 26-30)

Edit #2: 7 spots left — 3/5 guys and 0/5 girls

28M from Brampton looking to build a coed social group for people across the GTA who want to get out, and enjoy fun activities together from hiking and bar hopping to biking along the Lakeshore with city bikes, movie nights, and more.

The idea is to keep things low-key and community-focused: relaxing lakeside walks, trying new restaurants, exploring the wine country, or just hanging out.

I’m hoping to create a warm, dependable circle of friends who support each other, look out for one another, and genuinely enjoy everyday life together. This will be a GTA-wide group, so everyone is welcome regardless of where in the GTA you’re from.

Building a strong local support system and a sense of community starts somewhere — might as well start now.

Starting small with around 10 members, with a balanced coed ratio, and slowly grow from there. DM me if interested! Please DON’T reach out if you’re only looking to date—this is a friendship-focused group.

( first meet up will be August 29th and it will be ice cream run to a hidden gem in Vaughan )

21F downtown Toronto looking for some new friends!

Hey everyone! I’m 21F and recently graduated from my undergrad. I live downtown and I’m hoping to meet some new friends who are relatively close by!

I know friendships take time to build, but now that I’m finished with school (for now 😅) and work mostly from home, I’m realizing I don’t have nearly as many organic opportunities to meet people. I’d love to find the kind of friendships where we can randomly text each other like “want to come over and make dinner?” or “want to go for a walk?” and actually just hang out, yap, and figure out life together.

I’m pretty easygoing and genuinely down for almost anything, so even if I don’t list one of your favourite activities, please still ask me to do it! I love:

Coffee dates + finding cute cafés
Going for walks and exploring different neighbourhoods
Working out / workout classes / generally trying to feel strong
Running... I used to run a LOT and even ran a marathon, although I’m currently trying to get back into it and am very much not in my “runner” era 😂
Trying new restaurants and food spots
Wandering around a neighbourhood, checking out little shops, etc.
Camping and getting outdoors
Watching movies (although there is approximately a 90% chance I will fall asleep halfway through)
Hanging out at someone’s (or my) place, cooking dinner, having a drink, and talking for 7 hours
Poetry and writing
Currently studying for the LSAT, so bonus points if you also enjoy pretending standardized tests are a fun hobby

I also LOVE animals. I don’t have any pets right now, but I’ve fostered dogs in the past, so if you have a dog, please know that your dog is absolutely invited to my apartment and I will happily dog-sit.

I’m hoping to meet people who are also looking for genuine friendships rather than just someone to grab coffee with once and never speak to again. I’d love to build a little group of people where we can make spontaneous plans, try new things, have chill nights in, or just text each other when we’re bored.

Also, a small apology to anyone who messaged me from my last post a few months ago! I got a new phone and somehow managed to accidentally create a completely new Reddit account instead of signing back into my old one 🤦‍♀️ So I didn’t see some of the messages people sent me. If you reached out and I never responded, I am genuinely so sorry!! By the time I realized what happened, it had been months, and I felt so awkward replying that late 😭

I’m downtown around U of T/TMU, so if you’re nearby and this sounds like your vibe, feel free to message me! I’d love to meet up for a coffee/walk/something this week or weekend and see if we click 😊

People who've read My Brilliant Friend - I'd love to talk to you!

Hey y'all. I just finished reading My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante and I'm OBSESSED. You know when you're so excited about something you're almost BURSTING with the desire to turn it over this way and that way, to share your opinion and hear other people's opinions? I mean is it literally the best literary work of the century? No, but it's burrowed such a hole in my brain that here I am desperately looking for people to talk to on reddit lol and no one around me has read it or is interested in reading it.

If you're down to discuss, whether you loved it or hated it, I'm thinking let's meet up this Saturday or Sunday afternoon, at some cafe downtown, say Yorkville / Wellesley / College ish. Let me know if you're interested!

Me - 36F, opininated, sarcastic, loves to read (duh), would kill for bread. All ages & genders welcome!

23M - Looking for new friends

Hey guys, I’m 23 and recently graduated and figured I should put myself out there as I don’t have much of a social life and want to make some real friends.

I really enjoy meeting new people and exploring different cultures and backgrounds. I really enjoy reading, movies, coffee and exploring different parts of the city. I’m always open to try new things. I want someone I can talk to and just hangout with anytime. I can be a little shy at first, but once I get comfortable i’ll definitely come around.

If you’re also looking to make a new friend in the city, please feel free to hit me up. I am always happy to meet someone new.

(28M) Just moved to Toronto from UK & looking for creative/sporty/black friends

I moved to Toronto from the UK a couple of months ago, and although I'm a very social person who's typically good at making friends, I've struggled to make any so far despite meeting lots of people and exchanging socials or numbers.

The stress of searching for work and dwindling finances, along with living in a shared house where I'm not allowed to host guests, has caused me to feel really lonely and led me to overindulge in negative vices like boozy nights out. So I'm keen to find people with whom I can invest my time and energy in more fulfilling activities instead.

A bit about me:

  • I'm a music nerd who loves to attend concerts and open mic nights. Played instruments growing up and have dabbled in recording solo music in recent years.
  • Been vegetarian for nearly a decade now, with cooking being one of my favourite hobbies. Would love to cook together or try out various food spots!
  • I love strolling around art exhibitions or attending various creative workshops and events.
  • My blackness is a major part of my identity (of Caribbean heritage), so anything related to black culture tends to interest me.
  • As a big sports fan who typically works in the industry too, I enjoy both playing and watching sport. I mainly played football (ahem, soccer), cricket, and ran track growing up, while I additionally follow tennis and basketball to a lesser extent. However, I enjoy watching all sports and would love to learn more about North American sports in particular (when in Rome and all that 😂).
  • Similarly, I really like nature and the outdoors. I went camping a lot growing up, both with school and family, while over the past couple of years I've done a little bit of hiking.
  • I'm a keen traveller who's visited over half the countries in Europe, a few in Africa and a handful in the Caribbean. Now that I'm based here, I'd love to explore Latin America and the Caribbean further.

If any of that aligns with you, please don't hesitate to message me or leave a comment! I'm based in the east end of Toronto at the moment, but I'm open to hanging out with people based anywhere in Toronto or the GTA if we have enough in common.

Looking for Beginner to Intermediate players to play and build camaraderie over Badminton? East End

Hello! I am looking to create a WhatsApp group of interested players who want to play or learn to play Badminton, primarily in the evenings and on weekends.

I currently play at indoor Badminton clubs near Eglinton & Birchmount. Scarborough area.

I want to build a pool of active players who can drop in or join games regularly. We all know life can get busy sometimes, but join whenever, as much as you can- type of deal. We need a minimum of 4-8 players for a good 2-hour play session.

The Goal is to play 2-3 times a week. I will organize everything, book courts, plan the dates, and bring birdies. All you have to do is show up with a badminton racket. This is open to all genders and skill levels. Me and some of my friends ( they are flakey thats why I am on here) are beginner to intermediate and of mixed genders. We always play mixed doubles, and I am willing to help new players who want to get into the sport. I am a beginner/slight intermediate myself, and it's a welcoming and friendly space to learn and get better.

I want to get some cardio in. Lose weight. Meet new friends. We can all go out for dinner after playing and make it social too. Tons of great food options nearby.

If you are interested, DM me, and I'll add you to the group. If you sign up for a game, you have to show up or still pay your share, as courts are booked in advance based on a headcount. If I don't book enough courts, then people won't get enough playtime. It usually comes out to only $8-13 per person each time (based on how many people attend)
