Interacting with People Online and IRL.

48 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.

26f looking for long-term friendship 🫶🏼

28 Upvotes

Hey! My partner and I moved to Calgary from England about four years ago and I’ve struggled to make long-term local connections! I’ve been accidentally making friends who are also here from England and a lot of them have since gone home.

I’m into reading, board and video games, travelling, music, anywhere with a nice view! And I’m genuinely down for any kind of friendship…‘adventure’ friends or ‘come over and doom scroll together’ friends 🤣

I don’t really drink but I’m up for sober nights out, I’m a huge advocate for women’s football and women in general.

I’m a bit shy but can really keep a conversation flowing once it gets started!

I’ve been trying to find ‘my girls’ for a really long time 💕

I've struggled both my child and adult life to make friends, just how I am, but it doesn't matter to me what gender you are, just as long as you're over 21 and under 40 we'll vibe alright.

mostly awkward at first but I open up relatively quickly, just trying to find some solid people to offer me some direction in life

open to do anything with anyone lol

cheers to the city i've called home for the last 20 years!

[25M] looking for people to be friends with.

I just moved to Calgary 3 days ago and I’ve been working nonstop, getting lonely in this big city.

I’m looking for friends (male and female) to hangout with, I’m a big time nerd, I love playing Dungeons and Dragons, I also play a lot of online games but I also have my outdoorsy side, I like going on walks and generally just spending time out in nature.

420 friendly if that’s a bonus for you guys and just looking for friends, I’m open to getting in a relationship but right now I feel like I need friends, romantic relationships can wait.

Can stare at an object for 10mins straight because you're so deeply tangled in your own head unknotting the mysteries of life? Yay maybe we'll get along.

Let's decide on a good food place and just compare beliefs.

Not looking for debates per say.. just open minded people who also like learning from others.

I'm a 30 yr old dude from Africa ✌️

Sept 1: Harry Potter themed events?

0 Upvotes

So - I’m a big Harry Potter fan! And since it is September 1st I was wondering if there are any events happening around the city?

I know there is “The Potion Room” in Inglewood that is Harry Potter themed. But I was curious about any other places are having anything or if a bunch of y’all wanted to get together for movie night? ✨💜

27F Edmonton but looking for Alberta buddies

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I am from EDMONTON and that is where I live. So you might be wondering what I am doing here haha. I like connecting with fellow Albertans especially if we have stuff in common. A lot of my friends after uni moved to different parts of Alberta, so I am used to distance friendships.

About me: 27F from Alberta, looking for long-term daily chat buddies who are down to be long-term genuine friends if we click. Also, I'm Muslim which just means I am sober, but hey I will still do karoke!

I love tv shows, especially cartoons, cozy mysteries (mostly British), board games, fashion, arts and crafts, home decor, and following the NHL. I miss the world cup...like a lot. I am not really outdoorsy and love city living.

I am open to anyone in Alberta preferably around my age like 26 to 33 preferred

In your first message please let me know if you're from Alberta, your age, and gender.

Let's connect!

30F/3OM looking for couple friends for board games & hangouts!

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone! My husband and I are looking to make some new friends in Calgary for double dates, board game nights, easy hiking, or exploring the city.
We have a 2-year-old, but we're open to hanging out with anyone (kids or no kids!). If you're into casual gaming, going to events, or just grabbing a drink and chilling, send a DM!

Is this you?

16 Upvotes

I’ve lost over 100 lbs in the last year and a half. And I’m still not done.

I know what it’s like to struggle with food.

I know what it’s like to look at how far you have to go and think it’s just too much.

I know what it’s like to tell yourself:

“I’ll start Monday.”

“I’ll start next week.”

“I’ll start when life settles down.”

“I’ll start when I’m ready.”

The problem is, the perfect time never really comes.

At some point, you have to create your own conditions and just start.

That’s what I had to do.

I’m over 100 lbs down now, but I’m still on my own journey. I’m still working on myself, still learning, still chasing my own goals. I’m not standing at the finish line telling everyone else how easy it was.

I’m someone who’s been through it, is still going through it, and has gotten far enough that I can start helping other people with what I’ve learned along the way.

And that’s genuinely what I want to do.

Maybe you want to lose 100 lbs. Maybe you want to lose 20. Maybe you want to build muscle, get stronger, fix your relationship with food, or just finally feel comfortable walking into a gym.

Everyone’s starting point is different.

But everybody has one.

So if you’ve been waiting for a sign, maybe ask yourself:

When is enough, enough?

September starts tomorrow. There are four months left in 2026.

You don't need to completely change your life by January.

But imagine where you could be if you finally started now.

If you’re in Calgary and you’ve been wanting to start but genuinely don’t know where to begin, reach out. I’d love to help.

Everybody starts somewhere. The key is actually starting.

Things to do in Calgary that aren’t alcohol centric

I just moved to Calgary. I don’t know too many people here. Searching for ways to meet people that doesn’t require going to a bar. I like a couple beers just as much as the next guy, but need to broaden my horizons 😊.


r/CalgarySocialClub 3d ago

Hey! I’m 27 and from Germany, and I’m planning to move to Calgary in 2027.

12 Upvotes

I thought it would be cool to already get to know some people before I move over. I’m into skateboarding, snowboarding, hiking, gaming and music, and I’m always down for trying new stuff.
Would be nice to meet some people around my age, chat a bit and maybe hang out once I’m in Calgary.

Anyone down to go dancing?

12 Upvotes

(32m)Hey! I’m visiting Calgary and don’t really know many people here. I was thinking of going out dancing this weekend and figured I’d see if anyone else is looking for something to do.

I’m into salsa, bachata, reggaeton/Latin music, but honestly I’m down for anywhere with good music and a fun crowd.

Not looking for a date or anything, just some people to go out with, dance and have a good time. If anyone’s interested maybe we can get a little group together!

36F plus sized ninja looking for her community

15 Upvotes

Hear me out. Ive tried your regular gym for the nth time and it is just not working. I don’t know if it’s the environment, the lack of self-discipline, I genuinely dont know anymore. Now, I have always been fascinated to try parkour, martial arts, kung fu, stick fighting, ninja warrior stuff. If you know of someone, a community, or a safe space that does this kind of training, please direct me to them and help your girl before she gets diagnosed with diabetes and die of heart attack.

Thursday dating....

So has anyone tried the thursday dating events in Calgary? I thought about trying it since I hate the dating apps and would like to meet my person in the wild. Just wanted to ask if anyone has been to any of the Calgary events and what do you think about them? Is it worth it? Or should I just stay at home and read/use that money to buy more books?

Hello,

Great Plains rec centre is starting up there stick and puck for the fall. I went a couple times last spring and was the only person on the ice, I wore full gear and brought some cones to run through drills. Not that good I would just rather do that than go for a run.

Next week they are running it on Tuesday and Thursday Sep 1st & 3rd. (From 1:00 to 2:15pm) And I believe it’s about 7$

Dm are open. Lemme know if u wanna go for a skate.

Thx,

30+ Boys and Gals come raft with us tomorrow!

So I've never tried this and, in addition to having some great company, would also like to have some reassurance that we won't get stranded in the middle of the river!

I myself am new to Calgary and would love to explore the city and meet new people. Of the 7 cities I got to live in, Calgary appears to be the most exciting so far!

Any tips with regard to rafting would also be greatly appreciated!
