Need new friends around Melb

Hey everyone,
I’m 23M international student living in North Melbourne. I recently got out of a long-term relationship and realised I don’t really have many people to hang out with, so I thought I’d put myself out there.
I’m into gaming, F1, grabbing drinks, trying new food, karaoke, and just chilling. If you’re around North Melbourne or the CBD and keen to make a new mate, send me a message or leave a comment.

25M looking for friends

Hey everyone,

I’ve officially reached the point where I’m turning to Reddit to make some genuine friends.

I’m 25, based in Melbourne, and while I know plenty of people, I’ve realised that having acquaintances and having your people are two very different things. Between work, life, and everyone being busy, it can be surprisingly hard to build meaningful friendships as an adult.

A bit about me—I’m a huge foodie and love discovering new cafes, restaurants, hidden bars, and dessert spots around Melbourne. I’m also into mini golf, bowling, escape rooms, board game nights, walks around the city or along the beach, and pretty much anything that gets me out of the house. Recently I’ve been trying to live a healthier lifestyle too, so I’m always up for badminton, pickleball, casual hikes, or trying a new fitness class (as long as there's food afterwards 😄).

I also enjoy talking about bigger things—career goals, personal growth, travel plans, random late-night conversations, and just checking in on each other. I'd love to build friendships where we actually make plans instead of endlessly saying "we should catch up sometime."

Some things I'd love to do:

  • Try new cafes, restaurants, and hidden bars
  • Mini golf, bowling, escape rooms, or arcade nights
  • Board game nights
  • Walks around Southbank, St Kilda, Brighton, or the Yarra
  • Badminton, pickleball, or casual hikes
  • Weekend road trips or spontaneous adventures
  • Markets, festivals, and live events around Melbourne
  • Trying new activities we've never done before
  • Talking about life, goals, and keeping each other accountable

I'm looking for people around 20–30 who are genuinely interested in making new friends—not just exchanging a few messages before disappearing. Whether you're new to Melbourne or you've lived here forever, if you're looking for a solid group of people to hang out with, I'd love to hear from you.

If this sounds like your vibe, send me a message or leave a comment. Maybe this post ends up helping a few of us find our people. 🙂

Hey everyone I’m from NZ, 31F Asian. I’ll be travelling to Melbourne around the end of Aug. Does anyone want to hang out? I’m staying with a friend and during the day she’ll be at work and I’ll just be by myself and not sure where to do and what to do. Would be nice to have someone show me around! Thank you :)

M25 looking for new mates

Hi all,

My name is Daniel, I live in Melbourne in the northern suburbs and I’ve been looking at potentially developing new friendships out there with those who have the same or similar interests. Or even just simply someone who wants to hang out and talk shit and anything ahahah

I’m pretty easy going, banter a lot and know to have a good time. I game, go to the gym, I swim, I love to hang out with family and yeah I’m just trying to develop new friendships.

Let me know if you are in the same boat and want to connect :)

38 M Looking for mates

Hey guys, I’m looking to make some new genuine mates in Melbourne.

I’m 38, gay, easy going and low maintenance. Enjoy tv, movies, board games, the occasional pc game, escape rooms, finding new places to eat, AFL, roadtrips, short hikes in nature among other things.

I’ve been single and living alone with my 2 dogs since the start of the year and just looking to make a few new mates. I’m an introvert so small talk is not my forte, and I’ve always been the kind to have a small group of close and trusted friends rather than collecting a heap of acquaintances.

I’m equally comfortable heading out to the footy or a concert or something as I am staying in and chilling on the couch watching a movie under a blanket on a Saturday night.

Sexuality and age not important, just be genuine and present!

HMU if you wanna chat!

Looking for likeminded alt friends :)

22yr old trans man in western suburbs, living with fiancé and our fur children (whippet, greyhound 2 cats)

I moved to Melbourne from coastal/rural nsw about three years ago and have struggles to make any strong friendships that aren’t through my partner.

I’m really just looking for people who enjoy a more quiet type of fun/friendship, both me and my partner rarely drink/smoke and much prefer to have a board game night over a club night. That’s not to say it’s ever a boring night, we just both prefer to be at home, out in nature or doing something free/cheap for entertainment.

Myself more specifically I would really love more people who want to do things like go on bush or dog walks, swimming at beaches/rivers, market browsing, camping/day trips, opshoping or even just running errands together!

I love being outdoors, painting/crafting/upcycling ect, bone scavenging or beach combing (for my art) my animals, horses, emo/alt music + fashion and so many other things (yes I have adhd)

So if you’re similar in any way or think we might get along and actually want to hang out with people in person pls hmu lol.

I just really would like to meet some people who want to hang out outside of activities that involve drinking since it’s been hard to find people who don’t expect that to be every meet up :,)

29 M, looking for friends

Hello, I am 29 M, soon to be 30 this December. I am from Indonesia. Currently staying in Murrumbeena. I've been here for 2 years to study a Master degree, I'm graduating this month and looking for a job.

I find it quite hard to socialize outside of university. I play some video games, but lately only Genshin Impact, Wuthering Waves, and Dota 2.

I am mainly looking for friends who want to hang out and chat. I also want to try various cuisines together (although, not very often cuz I currently have a financial issue).

I prefer not to go too far from Melbourbe cuz I'm saving money. We can go to bar or club together, but I won't be ordering anything hahaha. I can drink alcohol, but again, I'm saving money.

Need some more friends in these hard times. I won't beg money from you, I just need someone to talk to.
