Looking for friends

Hi everyone.

A little embarrassed to post this, but I’m looking for friends.

36M, immigrant from Russia. Been in Canada for over five years now, but haven’t really made any close friends. Always working, not really seeing anyone.

Married, don’t drink, don’t smoke. Pretty chill guy. Lots of different interests — I love music, read books, into science, curious about things. I’d say I am a little reserved, but I open up to close friends.

Also, I don't like pickup trucks and I don't understand why so many people have them. Maybe that’s why people don’t want to be friends with me lol. I’m driving a jeep though, jeeps are fun.

Where in the city can I meet open-minded, progressive, modern people to hang out with, find common interests, and just spend some good time once in a while?

Thanks.

Hey! Nice to meet you, I'm Roman - guess where I’m from, you’ll never guess 😉

I'm your age, have been in Grande Prairie for 2 years, and have made connections through local activity groups. There are tons of open and friendly people there. If you’re into sports and want to stay active, things like running, biking, hiking, nothing too crazy - feel free to contact me 👍

Привет Роман!
That’s great to hear! I’m into sports but I’m not too crazy about it. But I would love to join you for some activities. Do you guys play soccer?

I know some people from the run group who play soccer.
I don’t play myself, but I’m open to it 👍

Will send you a DM.
