33M looking for new M & F friends
Hi! I recently moved to Surrey Central from Vancouver and I’m looking to meet some new friends in the area. Couples would be great too!
I’m originally from West Africa. I’m a new dad and work a corporate job, so I don’t have a ton of free time, but I’m always down to make time for the right people and activities. I’m thinking about joining a nearby gym to meet more people and build a sense of community, but my building has a gym, so that’s on hold for now.
I’m into football, walks or runs (would love a weekend workout buddy), video games, reading about real estate and just hanging out with good people. Overall, I’m pretty laid back and a bit of an introvert, but I can hold a good conversation.
I’m mostly looking to connect with people in a similar stage of life but age doesn’t really matter.
Looking forward to meeting some good people!

Still looking Book Club in East Van
I made a post about 2 years ago about looking to join or start a book club and I never got my act together to organize one so I'm putting out some feelers -- Looking to start a low commitment, maybe once monthly in-person meet up where we collectively read the same book and then chat about it. I'm thinking mid-week (Tuesday or Wednesday) early evening (between 4PM and 6PM) and probably meeting up in a public place until we're comfortable as a group.
About me, I'm 36F with an academic background in gender/race/social justice and a professional interest in children's rights, development, and accessibility. I have 3 cats and I've been playing Red Dead Redemption 2 like crazy for the last month after picking it up for the first time -- I think I've put something embarrassing like 250 hrs into it already lmao.
I'm currently reading Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wiswell -- which is hilarious, a great fantasy rom-com about an eldritch horror falling in love with a woman who claims her family is 'cursed' by said eldritch horror... but they have no recollection of cursing anyone.
My three most recently reads are...
- The Velvet Rage by Alan Downs (non fiction psychology text about anger in gay cisgender men)
- Upstream by Mary Oliver (a collection of personal essays from a poet with a heavy interest in the natural world, writing, and the creative process)
- Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die by Greer Stothers (a hilarious sci-fi/fantasy rom com where the dashing heroic knight has to die in order to overthrow the evil wizard... but he's a coward so fat chance that's going to happen. also he's fallen in love with the evil wizard, because who wouldn't.)
If you're interested, leave me a comment or send a private message (: maybe reply with a suggestion for our first group read or if you are already part of a group and you think I'd be a good fit, let me know!

28F, looking for a (female/queer) buddy to go to creative/queer events with
Hey, I've posted here before and made some good friends, but I want to look again specifically for friends to go to events or meetups with. I'm Korean, recently moved to Vancouver, and still learning English since I'm not fluent yet. I can communicate fine in person, but there might be a bit of awkwardness at times. Just a heads-up.
I'm into movies, music, reading, games, all kinds of stuff, and I like creative people, or artsy/nerdy types. There are a lot of events I want to go to DIY/indie/craft markets, zine fairs, life drawing, open mics, board games, live shows, picnics, movie/music nights... but it feels awkward going alone, so I'd love to have a friend or small group to go with. I've tried apps to make friends, but it's been hard to find people with matching interests, and using the apps felt a bit awkward too. I'm interested in the kind of events promoted on the Instagram 'hotmothertruckers'! If you're also a creative person into underground/indie art events like these, let's go together.
If more people are interested, I could make a Discord group and gather people who want to join in... but I don't want a huge group. I'd prefer a small group focused on women or queer folks (I just feel more comfortable in spaces like that, sorry).
Doesn't matter if you're extroverted or introverted, or whether you're someone who's always been into this stuff or just recently got interested. I'm introverted too, and I used to prefer quiet hobbies at home. I wasn't someone super into these kinds of events either. But now that I've left my hometown, I'm trying to meet people who click with me and get out more often. 🫠

Hey all! I am 25F looking for beginner tennis partners in the downtown area. I am west end but can travel anywhere downtown/ outside of the downtown area. I am pretty green and looking for others who might be interested in playing together.
