r/Vancouver4Friends

I’d love to get a little community of women in their 30s together in East Van/Kensington Cedar Cottage - people who are up for doing fun things, trying random hobbies, and also getting to the point where we can just casually hang out.

I love board games, cards, D&D, reading, sewing, pottery, food, patios, travel, tennis, pickleball, camping, lake floats, movie nights, themed events, escape rooms, puzzles, musicals and random things.
🍔🌮🥂🏀🎾🎨🎲🧩🎳🎢🏝️🪩📚🏳️‍🌈

Ultimately, I’d love to meet women who are interested in building genuine, meaningful friendships and a community that becomes part of our regular lives.

Also this is a respectful, inclusive, and LGBTQ+ friendly space 💅🌈

If some of this resonates, share a little about yourself and what you’d love to get out of a group like this!

Hey everyone,

I'm 39M and live in Richmond. I've realized over the past while just how important it is to have close, genuine friendships and a good support system in your life.

I recently went through a breakup with my girlfriend of 10 years, and honestly, it's been a pretty difficult adjustment. I'm hoping to meet some people who are going through something similar—or who are simply looking to make some genuine new friendships.

I'm not looking for anything romantic. I'm really just hoping to find some people who can connect, talk, hang out, and offer each other some support and understanding while we're going through a difficult period. Ideally, I'd love for those connections to turn into genuine, long-term friendships once we're through the rougher parts too.

I'm into bouldering, going for walks, working out, trying new things, and I'm pretty open to picking up new hobbies or activities. I'm also perfectly happy just grabbing coffee, getting some food, or hanging out and talking.

If you're also going through a breakup, divorce, loneliness, or just finding yourself wanting some new people in your life, feel free to send me a message. Even if you're not quite ready to meet in person, I'm happy to start with chatting online and see where things go. It would be nice to have some people to navigate this weird period of life with.

hii, I'm looking for some friends around my age to hang out in Vancouver. I like walking, going to parks, going to the beach, thrifting and trying out some food spots but I'm down for whatever tbh as long as we have fun.

My interests include music (mostly listening to rap and pop but I like discovering new stuff) - and I'm trying to learn music production, reading (fiction of any kind, and non-fiction books about sociology), drawing/painting and hikes in nature, but I'm curious about pretty much anything so if you have different things you're passionate about I'd be happy to learn about them!!

🤞manifesting to attract the cool woke folks and not the creeps 🥰 hit me up!

Looking for buddies in or near Burnaby ideally chill down to earth with banter ideally around my age, but pretty open minded when meeting new people.

Activities:
GoodLife gym workout buddies (6 reps 275lb bench PR)
FOOD so many restaurants
Drinking / dancing (downtown)
Board games / video games also chill

Send private message if down at all.

Hello guys! I am looking for buddies (M or F) to play some online games. I play OW2, LoL, Marvel Rivals and Fortnite. Hit me a DM!!!

HMU if you are interested !

Hi everyone! 👋

We're a Malayali couple, 30 & 34, living in the Vancouver area. We're hoping to meet other Malayali couples or individuals around our age and make some friends.

We're mainly looking for genuine friendship and people who are interested in expanding their social circle.

If you're interested in connecting, feel free to comment or send me a DM.😀

Alright, I'm out here trying to recruit you to the nerdiness that is D&D, but hear me out.

A bit about me: I recently turned 40 and have been dabbling in this hobby for about 10 years, although I'm not the type d&d stereotype. If you saw me on the street you might peg me as a jock, but please don't peg me. I'm looking for people who are into the game, even if you're new to it. That's totally fine.

What matters most to me is good storytelling and a bit of that "yes, and" roleplay improv energy. D&D's a lot more fun when everyone's there to laugh and have a good time, rather than getting lost in the dice math.

For a sense of the kind of stories I'm drawn to, think Dungeon Crawler Carl, Castlevania, Bloodborne. So somewhere between dark and heroic, and the silly D&D shennanigans. If you've played before, you know nobody stays fully serious for long.

As for the practical details, i'm looking to play mostly online, on weeknights, with room for the occasional in-person meetup if folks are local and down for it.

I've already got two people locked in and I'm looking to round out the group with a few more. If this sounds like your table, drop a comment or DM and let's chat.

Here's a little image teaser for something i've prepped before.... ah nevermind, i can't include images. Oh well. >.< ... I can share stuff if you message

Selling my J Cole ticke because unfortunately I’m busy with work next Monday. my startung price is $200 (how much I bought them for) but im willing to go down if needed, just dm me. i will email u the ticket directly. pls dont be afraid to ask any questions

In Vancity for the next three nights wondering if anyone one is looking to hang out and chat. DM me (55 m)

Title says it all but may as well elaborate.

I'm a 36 year old guy that grew up in the lower mainland. I've dealt with depression on/off throughout my life and that has slowly led to a smaller and smaller group of very close friends (who I have great relationships with). I've come to realize that I'm not actually as much of an introvert as I thought I was, I was just avoiding the effort of making and maintaining additional friendships because I didn't have the capacity. I'd like to work on expanding my friend network and meeting a few like minded, easy going, fun people to hang out with/chat/get to know.

Interests

I'm a fairly active/athletic person. Climbing (bouldering mainly, not the best but enjoy puttering around), biking, getting into running, hiking, beach walking with my dog, yoga and am open trying most sports/athletics/workouts.

I enjoy reading and watching TV (mainly science fiction and fantasy), play video games, pottery, leather working, and love trying other creative hobbies.

I'm progressive, a good listener, kind, caring empathetic.

Happy to connect over a coffee, beer or activity. Feel free to respond here or message me directly.

25F, Looking for people to play tennis with! I am fairly new to the sport but have enjoyed whatever exposure I have gotten so far. If you are also a beginner and don't mind playing with someone just as new, please feel free to dm. It would be nice to practice/play a couple times a week. I am located in the Oakridge area and able to commute to tennis courts nearby using transit. Cheers!

Hey! My wife, our dog, and I moved to Vancouver about 2.5 years ago. Vancouver is such a cool place, and I recently realized I should probably meet more people outside of my usual bubble.

I’m a 9-to-5 guy working downtown, with a couple of side hustles keeping me busy. I also recently became a dad, so a lot of my time these days is spent taking care of the family. I play guitar and love photography.

Still, I’d love to meet new people, hear about their lives, what they do, and understand different walks of life. Always keen for a casual chat, and if we vibe and feel comfortable, maybe grab a coffee sometime!

I am both extrovert n introvert depending on the situation you meet me and our personalities.

I love reading manga and watching anime....m big fan of horror movies too if you ask me which one I will say the movie which scared me to death will paranormal activities.

I am very talkative person...I will like if we bond up first online n then meet in person.

Hey Reddit!

26F, looking to create a girls only group to meet every other week for 1-2 hours to chat.

I'm a pretty low energy person and tend to spend a lot of time at home, in solitude, and avoiding human interaction lol. Hence, not too many friends left. I don't really have the energy to constantly text people, make plans, hang out for hours, etc. - all the things friendship seems to require.

So I'm looking for a way to break that cycle without overwhelming myself.

For a while I've been thinking about creating a space to meet new people every two weeks, same time, for a maximum of 1-2 hours. Something predictable and low-pressure, so you know when it's happening and it doesn't take up your whole day.

We could get coffee, have deep conversations (I like oversharing), rant about our week, play board games, do some random online personality test about what season we are lol, or just talk about whatever.

The goal isn't to become best friends immediately or make plans every weekend. I'd like it to be something low-pressure and consistent - you know that every two weeks there's a little social thing in your calendar, you show up if you have the energy, and you don't have to maintain constant communication in between.

I really like the idea of making a little routine out of it. I'm sure there are other people who would appreciate having some social interaction without the pressure of constantly keeping up with people or making plans.

I'm thinking of keeping it fairly small, maybe 4-8 people.

If anyone's interested, let me know!

Also, one thing I'm not sure about: how do you organize something like this in a way that protects everyone's privacy but also makes sure some random perv doesn't just show up? 🙃

I'd definitely want the first meetings to be somewhere public, but I'd love to hear from anyone who's done something similar before.

EDIT: I figured out how to invite people and now looking for a cafe that would fit a group of 8, somewhere in Downtown.

Any suggestions - lmk!

Hey all,

45M looking for folks that would be interested in a round or two a month, and if we end up wanting to hang out off the course that’d be sweet too.

I’m definitely not good, but I won’t embarrass myself too badly. (Broke 90 once ages ago, used to be able to get under 100 somewhat consistently, but haven’t played in a few years.)

Have you ever experienced a situation where you're stuck in a relationship? Everyone advises you to leave, but something doesn't let you leave. Personally I'm a 42 y.o EI man, married for 17 years to someone who's asexual aromantic, and I am extremely unhappy with the marriage, but I still love her and find her so attractive that I am unable to get out of the marriage. I haven't felt intimacy or known a loving touch in a loooong time. Most nights I am just frustrated.

Another part of staying is the kids. I love my kids and don't wanna give them a life without their father around. I have often thought about opening up the marriage, but I don't know how.

Here on Reddit, I have come across many other people who are similarly "Stuck" in a relationship like me. I'd love to connect with you if you're in such a relationship, whatever the reason be and whoever it is with and share some consolation with each other. If you're a person who understands what I mean, don't hesitate to DM me.

I’m 30F and I’ll be a little lonely for about 3 weeks, so I figured why not try to make some new friends? I’m just off highway 1 near Guildford.

I’m pretty housebound (and on a strict diet plus overweight) so I’m looking for people who are genuinely comfortable just coming over and hanging out or going for drives.

I’m really into spiritual ideas and would love to meet people who enjoy talking about that kind of stuff. But if you prefer to talk about other things instead that’s fine too.

I’m also looking for someone who is totally non-judgmental. When I say zero judgment, I mean ZERO judgment. 😂 I don’t care what you look like, what you believe, what your life looks like, or what you’re into. I’m much more interested in whether we click and can have an interesting conversation.

Come over and I’ll make you a strong espresso or pistachio latte. You can hang out with my bunnies too if you want. Of course we will meet in public first. If we vibe these are the kinds of things we can do. We could also go out somewhere, but first I’ll need to get someone to help me pick what new outfits to buy online lol.

Bonus points if you like woodworking and want to help me with a really cool project. I’m not familiar with woodworking, but I’m ready to learn. I can’t wait to tell you about the project. I also like going for drives to beautiful scenic areas so if that’s something you’re into, send me a DM!

Hey, noob golfer here. 39F. I’m bad, averaging about 5-6 shots per hole. Looking for P&P friends! Yay!

Please message me if you’re:

- available to pitch and putt at Queen Elizabeth
- available sometime in August. Please let me know when you’re available so we can schedule something in!

I’m lowkey busy with moving, but I’m on holidays for August so I’m keen to get out for August. I definitely want to golf as much as possible. I’ll definitely be down to golf the rest of the year but I’m really looking to connect with people who want to get out on the course right now!

About me: friendly social dork vibes. I’m in school (off for August), I work and volunteer and have a couple of hobbies (literally two, I need more: one niche sport and the gym so if you have ideas for other hobbies, lmk, or want to join). I’m fortunate to be the most ridiculously and happily partnered person so I’m just looking for friends.

Please message me if you’re free in August and keen to come out; I tend to get a lot of messages but there’s a lot of yapping that, sadly, I don’t have time for (moving; it’s mostly moving right now) so please just let me know when you’re able to come out. Probably useful to know what age you are.

We can also just do the front nine//one hour if you don’t want to commit to the whole course or two hours of full play. So also let me know how much you want to play!

If you’ve messaged me before, I’m sorry: I just had such a massive deluge of messages. I tried to respond to all folks but there’s a lot of yappage. Feel free to message me with a date//time for Queen E that works for you.

Having lived in Vancouver all my life, I (f early 40s) like many others find it a challenge to meet new people and build genuine, platonic friendship especially as we get older.

I strongly believe everyone deserves a chance to vent, to be heard and have a friend or 2 who'd be there to support them through highs and lows. Life can feel a little easier when you have a friend or 2 you can count on

I would love to connect with others who are also wanting to gain new friendships. Whether it ends up being a friendship for a season or, ideally, one that lasts a lifetime, I’m open to seeing where a genuine connection takes us. Because realistically, life is too short. June was just a few eye blinks ago so maybe you'd like to meet some wonderful people along the way

I value mutual respect, reciprocation, kindness, dependability, authenticity, honesty and loyalty

Those aged 35+ in the Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, and North Vancouver area, hit me up!!! Other unmentioned cities in the lower mainland are welcomed to if you come out to Vancouver city
