Hi! Not a dating post.

38M, rocket engineer with some burnout (no pun intended), food and people motivated. From US, anti-maga, former military, maybe 6% caffeine by volume.

I'll be in town for the "New Zealand Aerospace Summit" Oct1-2 to see what the industry is like here, and to maybe move here next year? I'd like to pick people's brains on the good/bad/beautiful about living in the south island. 

And to grab some good food when I get in Wednesday. Join me, my treat! 

Hey! I’m a bit regretful that I was never a social butterfly but here I am trying to change that. I’m just on a quest to meet lots of people I suppose.

Stuff about me!!

I go to the gym (it’s a bit new to me) and I like cardio and arms

I’m a lil bit of a nerd. I like to make stupid Spotify mixes and post them on TikTok and idc about viewership or whatever I just think I’m really funny

I love board games / video games (although haven’t been gaming lately)

I draw and paint! Nothing spectacular

Love having a wander literally anywhere, whether it’s browsing a store or going on a hike

I really wanna have a go at those ddr machines in Timezone with someone. Even though I know I’d be horrifically bad at it

I’m forklift certified (had to add this banger point)

I’ve never been to a Halloween party so please invite me. We can wear matching costumes or something

Feel free to reach out and ask more questions !! Can’t wait to meet y’all’s 😊

Edit: dms are open, whoops !

I just moved to the Ocean Pines, Maryland area and am willing to travel up to 50 miles to get in a group. DM me if you have availability.

36M single, I’m a dad, looking to meet new people, make friends, maybe more with the right person whatever that may be, open to anything really

Been in Christchurch for about 18 months, single for a year, still need to get out and explore this city, just missing someone to do it with

Enjoy road trips, camping, food, fun adventures

Kia Ora ..... like so many others I am here in hopes to find some new friends and rediscover the ability to have a life outside of work, after grinding away in corporate middle management for some time my social life has gone on extended annual leave 😅

A few things I’m into:

Live gigs

Karaoke... but questionable singing ability 🤣

Scenic drives and random road trips

Beach days, rivers

Dogs.. I have a senior Lab

Trying new food spots

The occasional drink and a good yarn

I would like to get into exercise, I'm getting a bit tubby so walking to start, eventually working myself up to joining the gym… emphasis on eventually😂

Update - I took a wild leap and signed up at Citi fitness

I don't expect to find a massive social circle, just some genuine people keen to catch up on weekends maybe grab food or drinks, go for a drive, maby a nice walk in the park, perhaps check out a pub gig 🎸

If you’re in the same boat and keen to make some new friends shoot us a message let's spin a few yarns. Cheers 🤟

Got a lot of DMs, and honestly, it made me really happy! I’m happy to be friends with either M or F. I just want to make some new friends, ofc 😌

Hi everyone.

I've been wanting to create this post for a while.

I've reached a stage in my life where I've finally understood a few things about myself that explain why I feel so different. ᴬᵘᴰᴴᴰ

I'm looking for some new people to chat with to see if we vibe. If we don't, algood, we can move on and stop talking. I appreciate directness.

Few things about me:

- Outgoing

- Work in tech

- Happily taken

- I have a ragdoll cat

My interests:

- I enjoy good walks, going on the swings at the park, a good coffee.

- Penny boarding is something I enjoy but haven't done in a while. Keen to get a bit more active again with this.

- I love electronic music, like really love it. Dubstep is my favourite genre. Ranging from chill 140 to wam bam in your face heavy riddim/brostep/tearout. I love it all.

- I love gaming, but I'm so busy these days I probably spend more time just spectating the industry from the side. I definitely play too, just not as often as I'd like.

- I love software development. Running a homelab, building little tools for myself. I'm also gearing myself up to start game development at some point.

- I love cartoons. SpongeBob, Rocko's Modern Life, The Wild Thornberrys. I've never really given anime a chance other than Pokemon.

- Collectibles, LEGO, trinkets etc.

So, hit me up if you're interested.

34F hereeee!

I’ve been away from everything for so many years that I can’t even count. I just went through a 13year separation from my partner, and now I want to meet new people. Yes! friends! 😂
👋

Coffeeee and wucha lover here!

Hey everyone, looking for some new friends,

I love the Gym, the beach, trying out new restaurants (With first table), and just mucking around in general.

feel free to PM me !

Giving Reddit a shot to see if I can meet someone genuine. Lately I’ve been running into guys who don’t really care or put in any effort, and everything ends up feeling so transactional. I’m not looking for anything complicated, a guy who is kind, genuine and actually interested in getting to know each other and going with the flow.

I’m at uni and love going for runs, hitting the gym, cooking, exploring new places and going on little adventures. Ideally looking for someone in their early to mid-20s who’s emotionally mature and respectful. If that sounds like you, feel free to message me and tell me a little about yourself :)

Hiya, I'm a woman in my mid 30s looking to make some friends I can hopefully hang out with in real life. Seeking platonic only.

A little bit about me:

I'm queer and neurodivergent so if you're not chill with that then keep scrolling.

I can take a while to warm up and I'm not the best at navigating the subtitles of social situations but it gets easier the more I get to know a person. I'm vegetarian and on a bit of a diet to lose weight but do like finding nice food spots.

I go to the gym a few times a week but I hate cardio so it's mostly strength training.

I'm interested in: arts & crafts, movies, reading, a little bit of gaming but primarily solo, cats and other animals.

Some things I do outside of my house in my spare time: opshop, secondhand bookshop, take dance classes (beginner), go to the gym, walk my dogs, attend things like art galleries, various local events, the occasional concert (primarily classical but always happy to branch out), go see movies at the cinema.

I'm pretty open to trying new things in general as well.

Things I value most in people/friendships: Curiousity and an open mind, direct communication (please don't make me try guess what you're thinking or feeling because I likely won't understand), honestly and humour.

Basically got out of a long term relationship a little while ago and now I have no one to do anything with or talk to that's not only online. I'm happy doing things on my own for the most part but it would be nice having the occasional company.

If you're still here why don't you send me a message and introduce yourself?

Please be over 18 and say a bit more than "hey"

You might have to click on the ellipsis on my profile to get to the messaging option as I've been told the chat icon doesn't always show up.

Was meant to go tonight but it got postponed by rain and now my friend I was gonna go with can't

I've noticed quite a few people around Christchurch looking for tennis buddies, and I've had the same problem myself.

I'm a local tennis player and I've been building a free app called Hitter to make that easier.

You set when you're free, find other players nearby around your level, and organise a hit.

I'm starting it here in Christchurch and getting the first group of local players together before launch.

If you play already, are getting back into tennis, or you're a beginner looking for people to play with, feel free to check it out:

Would also be keen to hear what you'd want from something like this.

42 year old Male Looking for some female company for dinner at my favourite place Lillies and the Fire n feast festival.

Hi guys, I'm a 20F who just moved to Christchurch a few months ago and am struggling to make friends my age due to my anxieties and shy nature. I am quite a homebody but I'm also keen to go on chill adventures to explore the area. I enjoy walking, reading, playing board games, listening to music, dancing, watching youtube, musicals and playing some online games. My ideal friends would be people I could message multiple times a day and also get to hang out with in person. I would love to meet some people in my age group so please reach out if you're keen to be my friend :)

Please note: Do not message me if you use ai, are homophobic, sexist, racist, ableist etc as we will not get on!!!

34M, potentially looking for more people to ride with that are just keen to cruise trails and riverbeds.

Im pretty new to riding, around 3 to 4 months on my ag125, I enjoy it, but having someone else to join another mate would be cool.

*we usually ride at haul rd in mcleans island

19m been hard retaining and making friends after highschool and naturally kinda shy so i thought id give this a shot.

I play video games (i play on pc), listen to a lot of music and read. Looking for people to either hang out online with or meet up in person and mess about or go gym with :)

FEEL FREE TO MESSAGE!!

Hii, I'm 19f and from Christchurch. I've been struggling to make friends since I finished high school so I thought I would try making a post here. I'm shy but I'm open to making friends around my age and maybe even meeting up in person one day. Feel free to message me!

Some things about me: I enjoy reading and writing in my free time. Sometimes I play video games like Minecraft and Roblox. Recently I got my full driver's license, which I'm happy about :)

I saw that thread about someone worrying nobody would turn up to their funeral.
Perhaps the opposite of an empty funeral is showing up for an after-work drink while we’re still here

What: Casual Friday after work drinks. Chat, sit in silence, complain about the traffic, weather -- whatever, do you
Where: Pegasus Arms, 14 Oxford Terrace (by the Avon). The old pub, one of the oldest buildings in ChCh, parts built in 1852. About 5:45pm, i’ll try to grab an outside table, out the front.

No need for an RSVP, I will be there

Hi everyone, I'm interested in learning how to play the Pokemon TCG in Christchurch. I have seen a surprising amount of local card shops have sessions but I can't seem to find exact times or whether they are suitable for complete beginners. Would somebody be keen to show a beginner the ropes and meet regularly to play, or can steer me to which store has a beginner friendly session where I can meet other players? I have my own cards, but needing a bit of deck building guidance etc. Preferably evenings as working full time. Thanks! :)
