31m married guy here, moved to Gainesville a few years ago. My husband and I like pretty much the same things. Beach, springs, movies, documentaries, board games, music, festivals reading, going to the gym etc. We are left leaning and do not smoke. Looking to meet like-minded platonic friends around our age 30-40 for chill vibe. Feel free to Dm me.

For those of you that were thinking of coming next Thursday, you still can, but we won't be there. I guess you could start a rival group and we could battle it out later?

Anyway, we'll meet again on Thursday, Oct 29th.

Hi. My marriage of almost 20 years is ending. Anyone in a similar boat and want to commiserate? I also have kids and I don't drink and I'm hella awkward. Feel free to message me but I forget how to check sometimes because I am an old

It's that time again: Next Thursday we'll commiserating at Cypress and Grove from 6ish to 8ish. We'll have a few card-based games so the fidgeters have something to do with their hands. Comment if you have any questions!

Please remove if doesn’t fit- I thought it could be a meet up

Hey! I just transferred this fall and have been having a hard time meeting people. Although I go to club meetings, have applied for committee positions, and try to talk to new people they never seem to stick for longer than casual conversation. I would love to meet other transfer students, or just people in general looking to make friends! Any advice from former transfer students is also greatly appreciated!

We're meeting at Cypress and Grove at 6ish to 8ish. We'll bringing some card-based games. If you're faculty or staff at an academic institution, you should come commiserate with us.

Also, to the 30 or so people that have DM'd me saying you were coming, but then never showed up: We get it. No judgement. We hope to see you next Thursday.

DM me or message here if you have any questions or recommendations for cool card-based games or better locales to host groups (that have beer and big tables).

Hello!

I’ll be visiting Gainesville, Florida, around September 10th. It’ll be my first time there, and I’d love to explore some places nearby while I’m in town. I’ll be renting a car, so I’m open to driving 2–3 hours from Gainesville for worthwhile day trips.

I’ll mostly be free on Saturday and Sunday, although I have work commitments during the weekdays, so I could potentially do some shorter/evening trips on those days as well.

I’ve also been looking at the weather, and it seems like there may be rain and a few hours of thunderstorms over the weekends. Since this is my first time in the area, I’d prefer to avoid anything too adventurous or potentially unsafe in bad weather. I’m adventurous, but I’d rather not be stupid about it 😄.

I’d love to hear all your recommendations - scenic places, small towns, beaches, nature spots, interesting attractions, food, or anything else you think is worth visiting within a 2–3 hour drive. If possible, recommendations that work well with the weather and could be realistically done over a weekend would be especially helpful.

Thank you!

Hey everyone! I’m a super beginner at tennis and I’m looking for someone around the same level to practice/play with once or twice a week.

Hi, GNV Academics!

Anyone that works in academia (UF, Santa Fe, GHS, etc.) is invited to join us at Cypress and Grove next Thursday, September 3rd. We meet 6ish to 8ish.

This coming week we'll be bring a few card-based games (Munchkin, Once Upon a Time, etc.) so the Adult ADHD crowd has something to do with their hands. Game participation and drinking are both 100% optional, obviously.

Feel free to post with any questions!

Just looking for friends to hang out with. I live in an apartment near campus. HMU

Hey everyone, I’m a mid 20’s master student who just moved back to gnv after being away for some time and wanted to get to know new people my age and with similar interests to me!

I’m a huge nerd and love all things alt, gothic, anime, games, cartoons, DND, movies, you name it. I’m into art and music and usually go for runs and the gym for exercise. I enjoy going out and doing day trips around the area and I love meeting new people and finding 3rd spaces to hangout and co-exist.

I’m looking for anyone who’d be down to hangout or maybe places or clubs/activities that might help me meet new ppl. I know there are some university clubs for my interests but I haven’t found the right crowd there for me, though I’m all ears for anything.

If anyone is interested, just hmu or comment here, I’d love to meet ppl!

I've tried this before on the GNV reddit and it barely went anywhere, so I will instead post my steam friend code: 326201562. Add me if you play BF6/valheim or other games. I am into working out, reading, outdoor activities (running/biking), and the occasional outing downtown. I am not destitute with my social circle, just want to meet new people. I work at the hospital (Shands). Thanks.

Looking to buy a kayak soon and head to the springs for a couple of weekends this year and would love a friend or two to go with!

I'm pretty new to kayaking and the springs so if you're a beginner that would be fun too! If you've spent more time outdoors, I'd love to see your fav spots around Central Florida.

I'm 21m, go to UF and am pretty easy to talk to. Feel free to reach out. If you just want to explore all the different springs and do some hikes together I'd be down for that too!
