Looking to meet new people. I'm a woman in my early 20s who enjoys beautiful spaces, great restaurants, perfumes, staying active and effortless conversations.

I naturally gravitate towards people who are intelligent, emotionally aware, driven and easy to talk to. If you're funny, cultured and have good taste, we'll probably get along well.

Keeping this intentionally vague but open to genuine connections with quality people.

Hi guys, sorry for the long paragraph. I just need to know what the actual flip is going on. How do people actually make real friends in South Africa? 😭

Like fr, I’ve tried Bumble BFF, friendship apps, Instagram, TikTok, joining group chats… literally everything people always suggest. But somehow it always ends the same — people text for like 3 days, then vanish, ghost, or the whole vibe just dies.

Where are the genuine people who actually want real friendships?? Like proper friends. outing nights, random drives, shopping, late-night deep talks, sending each other nonsense all day… actual friendship, not temporary chatting.

It feels like everyone says they want friends, but nobody actually puts in effort to keep one.

At this point I’m convinced everyone in South Africa already has their friend group and the rest of us are just fighting for survival 😭

Please tell me I’m not the only one.

I reside in Polokwane but the location doesn't really matter, I'm sick of my phone being dry and having no one to have meaningful phone conversations with. I enjoy History, specifically 20th century history. I'm currently binge watching Succession and I like to crochet :)

My name is Jay, currently based in voslorus ext 4, looking for new friends. Im into tech, food, cars and books

If you’re new to the community, introduce yourself!

Hey there. I'm Dina, and I stay in Polokwane. I get kinda bored sometimes and I'd like to have some people to talk to. Some things about me: I make art, I write and I love rom-coms
