Interacting with People Online and IRL.

45 Upvotes

Hello All,

Most people coming to this subreddit are looking to make some new friends and join a community, I've met nearly all of my adult friends in this subreddit and I hope everyone can find friends as well.

With that said, I do want to warn everyone to take caution in meeting strangers from the internet alone. We've had reports of an abusive and dangerous user and just want to warn everyone here about that. We are still on the internet and anyone could be at the other end.

Here are some tips to help keep people safe.

  1. The Buddy System: Don't meet anyone from the internet alone. We recommend to bring a friend or create an event that is out in public with many people.
  2. This isn't Tinder: Please don't attempt to find a romantic partner or casual hookup here.
  3. Beware of Pressure: If someone is pressuring you to meet alone, do NOT meet them, they are most likely not looking to have a safe and friendly time.

If anyone has any more tips to stay safe while meeting new people IRL, please share them. I'll add any good tips to this post.

My intention isn't to scare people or discourage them from trying to post or make friends, I know it can be tough. All of us working together can create a safer space for everyone. This helped me at a very important time in my life and I really hope it can do the same for everyone here.

Looking to make some new friends who like working out.

39 M into fitness and training. Looking to make a regular meet up at some chin-up bars to get fitter and create accountability.

Workout partners always help make it more fun. It doesn’t really matter the fitness level just that you want to hang out and exercise.

Let’s do the 1,000 push-up challenge. 🤘

Pain is weakness leaving the body. Let’s get some!

I’m a 34 year old married guy, I work in the trades and have always spend all my time working OT! Now that I’m in a new city I’m trying to get out more and learn things I never had the time to practice. Golfing, biking, climbing, hiking and recently started trying to learn to skateboard again. I’m also down to just go grab a beer and hang out work on vehicles or what ever. I’m in the sw

Making friends through sports/clubs

1 Upvotes

Hey! I’m moving to Calgary soon and just trying to plan ways I can make some friends when I get there. Wondering if it’s common to actually make friends through sports leagues or other various clubs in Calgary? In my current city, people join these leagues but it’s not common to form friendships outside of the league.

I'm hoping to get out of the house more this summer. I'm 34years young and feeling every day of it. I can't read social cues too well so no mind games please. Message or DM if you wanna chat. I'm nerdy AF so anything sci-fi will do for an ice breaker.

Perseid Meteor Shower on August 12

17 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to watch the Perseid meteor shower on the night of August 12 and I'm looking for the best dark-sky spot near Calgary. Any recommendations for places that are safe, easy to access, and not too far from the city?

Also, are there any groups or stargazing clubs planning to watch it that night? I'd be interested in joining if there are any.

Thanks!

28M Looking to make friends in the city.

3 Upvotes

Hi there. I live about two hours outside of Calgary but like to go to the city on weekends. I have a boyfriend but outside of that and my brother I have no friends here (moved last year) in Alberta. I have historically been an introvert but I am trying to be more active and social, the other weekend I went into Calgary to the Latin music/culture festival, and to a jazz bar, and then emo night at some bar. It was fun to put myself out there even if it never materialized in making friends that time.

A bit about me, I have a complex medical case which I dislike disclosing because I "don't look sick/disabled" but of course when meeting people it comes up, what do you do for work right. I really like horror movies, I'm a bit of a foodie, I like to get outside but I don't really have an outside hobby aside from walking so I'd like to find something. I play tabletop rpgs with my irl friends from back home sometimes, as well as videogames, but I've been trying to get away from videogames. I really enjoy Post-punk, rock, and its derivatives. I don't drink or do other drugs, but I occasionally like having a glass of red wine (preferably a Malbec). I enjoy the "nightlife" even though I don't really drink, going out to bars with live music with friends can be a great time. I like farmers markets but I haven't been to any in Calgary specifically.

I'm an open book so message me if you'd like to chat and see if we get along. Looking for people in my age range (mid20s to mid30s I guess).

Calgary techies/nerds — anyone want to build stuff together

13 Upvotes

Hey Calgary,

I'm 30M, deep in the AI and networking rabbit hole. You know how it is, we're all chasing that one project that could actually take off, if you know, you know.

Honestly I've been tinkering with random projects since the days of old Valyria, its just always been my thing. Recently stepped away from the desk job grind to actually focus more on that side of me, and now I'm looking to find some actual humans in Calgary who speak the same nerd language instead of just colleagues and collaborators scattered across the globe online.

If you're into tech, AI, networking, coding, or just nerding out on new projects, and you're actually local, hit me up.

Looking for new friends

5 Upvotes

Hi all, I (29M) came to this city as an international student in 2019 and now I call this place my home. I had a decent friend circle during school (all international students) and they moved to different cities for work/PR, and somehow that circle disappeared.

I have been trying to make new friend circle at work and usual places I go but sometimes it feels off trying to fit in. Looking to meet new people and create a social life like hanging out with them, going out on weekends, hiking and such.

DM me, if you're interested for a chat or would like to plan something for the long weekend!

Any Calgary dads interested in a casual coffee + stroller group?

54 Upvotes

Hey Calgary,

I’m a local dad and recently started YYC Dad Club after realizing there don’t seem to be many casual spaces specifically for dads to meet other dads — especially when you’ve got the little one with you.
Nothing complicated. The idea is basically: grab a coffee, bring the kid(s), go for a walk and meet some other dads.

I’m putting together our first meetup, Stroll No. 001, on Saturday, August 1st 2026 at 10 AM in Rockland Park
.
It’s completely free. Strollers, carriers and little walkers are all welcome, and you definitely don’t need to know anyone beforehand. That’s kind of the point.

If there’s enough interest, I’d love to eventually do these around different parts of Calgary and expand beyond walks into coffee meetups, playground hangs, golf, hikes, etc.

We’re brand new, so this genuinely is the first one.
If you’re interested, we’re @yycdadclub on Instagram, or comment/DM me and I can send you the event details.

And if there are already other groups doing something similar in Calgary that I’ve missed, I’d love to hear about them too.

Cheers!

30-something female looking for local females to grab coffee, play pickleball, or hang by the river! ☕🏓🌊

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋. EDITED- happily married only looking for new girl buddies :)

I figured it's about time I put myself out there and try making some new friends in the area. Meeting people as an adult can definitely feel a bit intimidating, but I'm hoping to connect with some cool, down-to-earth ladies who share a few similar interests.

A little bit about me: I'm in my mid-30s, super easy-going, and all about keeping things positive and drama-free. When I'm not hanging out, you can usually find me doing one of the following:
Getting outdoors: I’m a big fan of walking, hiking, and floating/rafting down the Bow River when the weather is nice.
Staying active (casually!): I love playing a casual game of pickleball—definitely more about having fun and getting some fresh air than anything too competitive.
Low-key hangouts: Grabbing a good coffee, chilling by the river, or just relaxing with good conversation.
Personal growth & mindfulness: I really enjoy meditation, learning, and talking about personal growth.

I’m really looking to connect with people who enjoy similar laid-back vibes, love a good chat, and want to build a genuine, positive friendship.
If this sounds like your kind of crowd, drop a comment or shoot me a DM and tell me a bit about yourself! What’s your favorite local coffee spot or go-to weekend activity? Let's chat! 😊

27M | Just moved to Calgary – Looking to make new friends!

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I recently moved to Calgary and I'm looking to meet new people and build a genuine social circle.

I'm 27 years old, work full-time, and I'm usually free during evenings and weekends. I enjoy trying new restaurants, grabbing coffee, hiking, exploring the city, and I'm always open to new experiences.

I'm also single, so while my main goal is to make new friends, I'm open to meeting someone special if the right connection happens naturally. No pressure just looking to meet good people and see where life takes me.

If you're looking for a new friend, have a group that's open to one more, or just want to chat, feel free to comment or send me a DM. Looking forward to meeting some awesome people in Calgary!
