r/TorontoHangoutFriends

Hey, anyone down to go to fan fest today? Im 24, but doesn’t matter if you’re make or female. I got 4 tickets . Lmk if anyone wanna go watch the game.

A few weeks ago, I made a post here looking for people who felt slightly misaligned with the usual social circuits of the city.

I wasn’t expecting much.
A few messages turned into a WhatsApp group.
A WhatsApp group turned into real people actually showing up. Now we are almost 50+.

And within days — we’ve already had our first meetup.
No one knew each other beforehand. No social scripts, no forced networking energy. Just people arriving as they are, and somehow ending up in conversations that lasted hours without effort. Till now, we’ve had 5 meetups and collaborations with other grievances in Toronto, July is almost packed with events and hangouts.

Different backgrounds, careers, personalities — but a shared underlying thread: curiosity. The kind that makes people open to new places, new faces, and unplanned evenings.

We’ve had people into fitness, photography, climbing, psychology, literature, design, music, travel, food, and a few oddly specific passions.

So I’m reopening it briefly before capping again.

For context: the group already has a male majority, so I’m intentionally shaping a more balanced dynamic (especially lgbtq and women) in terms of participation and energy distribution (my Libra brain doesn’t tolerate imbalance). Age range is ideally 20–30, though a few socially dynamic outliers are welcome too.

Who this is for:

(People who are genuinely outgoing and participate actively)

• Those seeking genuine friendships across Toronto / Mississauga / GTA
• People open to spontaneous plans and new environments
• Those who can exist socially without needing performance, alcohol, or noise as a crutch

What this looks like:
• Cafés with actual conversation
• Trivia/ Philosophy club events
• Park days / Toronto Islands energy
• Food exploration without overplanning
• Board games, light chaos, good company

One more thingy, this isn’t about scale. It’s about coherence.
A small, evolving circle of people who are comfortable being themselves without overthinking the room they’re in.

If you’re interested, send:
Age/ Gen + interests/ hobbies + one unusually specific fact about yourself (not ai 🙃**).**
I’ll share the invite if it feels aligned.

P.s Preference will be given to folks who are willing to participate in the meetup actively. Ciao

Transferred thanks

Hi I have 4 tickets for today’s Fan festival I am not going. I can send via email they are free. First come basis thanks

Hey everyone, I'm 24m in Mississauga and thinking of going to a club for the first time this weekend.
Honestly kind of nervous going alone lol.
Is anyone else down to go and show me the ropes? Just looking for good music and a chill vibe, nothing crazy.
DM me if you're going and don't mind company!

Hello everyone i hope you guys enjoying summer and at the top FIFA.

I am looking for some friends no matter male or females with respect.

I am the person who into pc game long drive fresh vegetables pick up for farm hiking long walk good decent conversation the rest we can adjust lol.

if you are going to ghost me after a day or 2 better stay away

Note. No telegram no show

hey all, 26M, wanting to get into photography, specifically lifestyle and candid pics, and i need some subjects to practice on. still a beginner, but if you need new pics for your dating profile, social media, anything, please reach out, shoot me a dm and ill take then for free!

edit: thank you all for the responses! i have plenty of wonderful people to help so probably will not be replying to any new comments/ dm’s for now, (unless one of the older commenters hasnt dm’d me yet), but hopefully all goes well and i can come back for another round!

Anyone want to join our friend group?? Males or females welcome let’s make a big group so we can all go places together

Hi Reddit. I work from home as a software engineer, so my social interaction is pretty limited. Hoping to make some friends here, hopefully playing a sport (I'm sure someone's gonna say pickleball is not quite a sports haha) together will be a good starting point.

Looking for a group who would like to play pickleball on the weekends. We don't have to be super regular, sometimes lives come in the way and that's totally fine. I don't have a DUPR score, but would call myself a novice/intermediate. If you're someone who is just starting out or want to get into the sport, that's totally fine too.

Let's chat! DM me and we'll set something up!

I’m 22f, I graduated this year and left my university city along with the friends I used to go clubbing with there and I rlly miss it. None of my friends in the GTA are big “going out” people. If you’re a girl or gay and want to hit the town sometime let me know.

Hi everyone, im a 25 year old and i work as an engineer, tryna make some friends to hang with. Leeme know if anyone is interested. I run, play pickleball, like to go on hikes, etc
Leeme know

I thought I’d put myself out there and see who I meet.

I’m (50F) looking to build real friendships with people who enjoy spending time together and getting to know each other beyond small talk. I’d like to think I’m warm, kind, and funny. About me:

Likes: staying active, learning, sports (watching and doing), modern art, spicy food and 🐱

Dislikes: wet socks, people who confuse being loud with being right.

I’ve noticed many of my closest friends happen to be younger than me. That’s never intentional—I’m much more interested in kindness, curiosity, and a similar outlook on life.

I’m hoping to meet people who are interested in building a connection. If that sounds like you, send me a message and tell me a bit about yourself.

Making friends as an adult can be surprisingly hard, so here’s to changing that.

Hey everyone,

We’re a couple, both 28, based in Toronto and looking to make some new friends (individuals or other couples) to hang out with or start getting to know better. We’re open to grabbing coffee, going for a walk, checking out a patio, or just chatting online first to see if we vibe.

Not looking for anything romantic outside our relationship – just genuine, chill friendships and people we can regularly hang out with. We know there are a lot of fake accounts and weird DMs out there, so we’re happy to verify we’re real on Snapchat or another platform you’re comfortable with.

If you’re around today or sometime soon and want to connect, feel free to comment or DM with a bit about yourself (age, area of the city, what you’re into).

Thanks!

Anyone down for coffee today or tomorrow? Just want to get out, relax, and de-stress for a bit.
Lemme know if you’re interested :))

Edit: 30s M, healthcare

Just looking for someone to toss a ball around with

Hi I am looking for a group of hoopers who occasionally or regularly play basketball, i play a lot by myself and i hardly find a community who are always down to hoop. I’d love to meet such hoopers and make new friends, if anyone knows anything do lemme know

Anyone else who’s not really into soccer want to watch the Canada/Morocco game today? I’m just in it for the vibes.
Preferably in your 30s and a woman. I also don’t drink, so looking to watch somewhere that’s not centered around alcohol. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I’m 21f, I’m about to finish up uni. I live North of the GTA.

It’s hard to make friends outside of school and work. It’s hard in general as you get older. So I thought it would be nice to make a gc. I want to be more more social.

We can go to restaurants, play cards/board games, do some pottery, go to museums and even concerts, etc.

I want to make a gc on instagram preferably or discord

So if you are interested please feel free to dm me or post it in the comments (if comfortable) your ig or discord. Thankss! :)

We accidentally bought too many non refundable tickets to see England vs Mexico watch party at Gibbons pub - the official pub of England (yes, it's an Irish bar).

Sunday 7pm downtown.

We have a central table of 12 of us and around 4-5 tickets spare. I'm trying to drum up friends and colleagues, but some are busy etc etc.

We're all British, between 25-35, even mix of male female (3 men, 4 women so far). We all met on a British group, so started as strangers, and would love to meet new strangers.

The ticket is $43 which includes beer towers, shots and nachos. We went last week and had a great time. I can send pics if you're interested. Obviously you can pay when you see so you know I'm not a weirdo. The ticket cost is the exact cost it would be if you booked 4 tickets. The event is sold out for tables now.
