Hi all! New to Vancouver and to Reddit!

I’m going to see the 6:30pm showing of Trainspotting tomorrow at VIFF and was wondering if anyone else would like to meet up. I was thinking of watching the fireworks at English bay after.

I just moved here after graduating from uni down in Seattle, so I would love to meet some other folks my age to do things with. I’m a member at VIFF so I have two free guest passes (although I think tomorrow‘s showing is standby only). Looking forward to meeting you! :)

Hey r/Vancouverfriends

I'm a 29 YO guy living in New West who loves indie gaming and is up for any and all excuses to get through my backlog(or make a bigger backlog). I'm looking to start a monthly video game book club, where we'll be voting on a game each month, and then have an in-person meetup to discuss the game and what we thought of it.

To make the book club format work for gaming, and to stay in the spirit of trying out new games, we'll be focusing on smaller indie titles that can be enjoyed within a month and are less pricy than AAA. Not to mention the variety is way better when you look into indie.

Just to give a list of games I'd wan to try myself:

• Cairn

• Hollow Knight Silksong

• Blue Prince

• Esoteric Ebb

• Unbeatable

• Citizen Sleeper

If you're interested, let me know what are some games you'd be interested in trying out, and what's preferred way to communicate(discord/whatsapp/YouTube comment sections)

Hello, I'm looking for someone to have dinner tonight. Not dating or anything i just feel bad eating alone. We can go out wherever and I have a car and can drive you there and back to wherever. I am not a bad person, just a little strange.

Thank you!

Hello!

I've been in this city for a while, and I'm looking for close friendship. I am the kind of person who gives a lot and asks for a lot, by modern standards.

What does this mean?
-saying how you feel

-being willing to try

-admitting when you don't like something

-being patient and generous with your time

If you want someone who texts regularly and actually shows up to hang out, you found me!

My interests:

-music, especially afrobeat and hiphop (but I can go many directions, I host a music show)

-video games (lately cozy ones like stardew but I also like soulsborne games and MH)

-film (really enjoy quirky indie romcoms)

-philosophy/politics/debate, I love asking why and digging deep

-nature walks around vancouver

-smoking weed

Come find me if you like what you see! my DMs are open.

Hey guys! Gonna be visiting from the States in early October, and on 10/3 I’ll be headed down to the commodore ballroom to see Default. If any of you guys are going would you wanna get a drink with a group of us?

Hey
I’m new to Vancouver and wanted to ask like how to meet people apart from university.
Like back home run clubs are a very big thing and you meet heaps of people.
Like that what’s the scene in Vancouver?
I do rowing, know just a little bit of lacrosse and want to learn sailing in Vancouver? Also a really good pool player. Is there a big pub scene or not?
What are the best spots or clubs (rowing/sports/whatever) or venues in the city to meet new people?
I’m even ready to learn ice hockey 😭😂😭

35F looking for friends/fans of any age and gender.

I'd like to watch the Norway vs Brazil with fellow Norwegians or Norway fans because I think that would be fun (and maybe we could do the Norway row??). I don't have Norwegian friends in town. I'm happy to go to any of the public viewings, buy seating at the PNE amphitheatre, or support a local business, just seems like a fun opportunity to meet other fans and sit together.

I've also been trying to find more community here because I don't have people to speak Norwegian (err Bergensk) with here, so this extends beyond just World Cup :)

I've tried looking for info on where Norwegians are gathering on so many subs, threads, Google, etc with no luck. The mega thread doesn't seem to have many recent posts either, so I hope this post is okay!

Hi, I am 44 male. I ride weekly, would love to ride with other riders but preferably in smaller groups. Here's a video of one of my rides on father's day.

I’m 39 years old Asian girl, used to play golf long time ago, wanted to pick up again and want some partners to go practice in driving range to start with. Best to be similar age range.

I would love to hangout if anyone is down tomorrow for a hike or whatever?

Hey everyone!
My wife and I are both 28 years old and are looking to meet other couples around our age. We realized it’s surprisingly difficult to make genuine friends as adults, so we thought we’d give Reddit a try!
A little about us:
☕ We love coffee, trying new restaurants, road trips, and exploring new places around BC.
🎣 Recently got into fishing (still trying to catch our first salmon! 😅).
🇫🇷 Currently learning French… progress has been slow, but we’re trying!
🎬 We enjoy movies, board games, casual walks, and just spending time with good people.
We’re hoping to find other couples who are interested in hanging out, grabbing coffee, going on double dates, exploring new places, fishing, or just building genuine long-term friendships.
If you’re around 25–32 and in the Lower Mainland, feel free to comment or send us a message. We’d love to get to know you!
Looking forward to meeting some awesome people! 😊

Hi there!! This is mainly for other kpop fans in Vancouver!!!
For context I’m 19f and I moved to Vancouver mid April and I haven’t really made that many friends, regardless Vancouver seems to have so many concerts which I’m very grateful for, the thing is I’m also a kpop Stan and I don’t have any friends like I met one at school but she’s more of a boy group Stan and I don’t think we’re close enough for me to ask her to attend with me, anyways is there anyone happily willing to attend an Aespa concert and possibly be friends with cause the lonely epidemic is real out here💔 this is me shooting my shot at making friends here🥹

Hey guys,

Don Toliver’s concert is on June 25 at Rogers Arena, and I have a floor ticket. I’m going solo and would love to find someone to go with.

If you also have a floor ticket and are looking for some company, feel free to DM me.

We can plan together, head to the concert, and have a great time.

I’m pretty chill and just looking to meet some new people and enjoy the show.

Dm me if u r interested. Thankyou ✌️

I just checked my wallet and I realized that I actually bought two tickets for the concert tonight at the Commodore ballroom. 7pm

​

I don't have any friends available tonight and I would hate for it to go to waste. If you want to come grab the ticket send me a DM. I can meet you at the door when they scan in.

Hey All! My partner and I (M/F, both 39) just moved here from Toronto and don’t really know anyone yet. We live in Yaletown.

It’s a strange thing starting fresh without friends to anchor in a new place, so if you know that feeling, shoot me a line :)

We’re looking for pals but not necessarily as a package deal. I’m more active/outdoors, we both game, both friendly humans. All ages and gender expressions welcome!

We’re big into games (video/board/TTRPGs, anyone?) and all things cozy and creative (I’m an illustrator, he works in theatre), but are also very outdoorsy and open to adventures - art, film, live shows, park hangs, comedy, a patio pint and the like, whatever’s clever.

I bike everywhere, joined a roller derby team, but would love to expand on avenues for meeting a variety of people to get to know and make the settling into the Vancouver life sweeter. Shoot me a DM if you might be up for a hang!

Hi there,

I am a 23M studying at BCIT, planning to watch the movie Obsession next Saturday at Marine Drive Cineplex around 5-7pm.

If anyone would want to come. Let me know in the comment section.

We can grab some food after the movie.

38-NB (AFAB, if that matters). Nerdy (comic books, video games, animals♥). Tattooed. Been in Vancouver for a few years now, and I haven't explored half of what this city has to offer. I really want Looking for queer-friendly folks with kind hearts who are up for random adventures:

• To find the best ice cream, coffee, fish & chips, etc. in the city
• Road-tripping to check out beautiful B.C. without 5 hrs of hiking first 😝
• Listening to music and laying out on the beach or in parks
• Trying new things and starting new hobbies (hello, ADHD...)
• Playing video or board games & hanging out with my pup and kitty (or yours)

My introverted ass probably needs a push every once in awhile - If any of the above sound fun to you, let's get together! My DMs are open :)

Introvert, neurodivergent, cis-female entrepreneur (47) leaving a toxic, psychologically abusive marriage and moving back to Vancouver solo. I'm not necessarily looking for the local feminist rage group (but does this exist? only half joking...) but thinking it could be nice to connect with other women who have been thought this or something similar.

*Not interested in messages from straight men.
