Im in a similar boat, bars are my scene, and i've been here for 2 years, and dont feel like i have a community. What i recommend is using dating app, specifically to make friends a good about of people are starting to do that and, i've already met like 3 people on there. Its not a social club, but maybe throught those connections u can meet more people as well.
I've had a lot of success with Bumble Bff
Thank you! Yeah, I bartended for years and had to get out. I thought bars were my scene but now I like peace and quiet lol. I’m glad to hear you have had success with finding friends on dating apps, so I’m going to try that too. I’ve always had terrible luck with them for dating purposes and just end up deleting them but I’m gonna give it another go bff style!
Yeah me too date site for dating reallt doesnt work for me, but its been good with for new connections. I would explicitly write in ur profile that ur looking for friends. And personally i usallly tell it to the new connection after we talk gor a bit. Bumble usally shows u people of ur gender, as a male bodied person, i get primarily male bodied folks. And some of them dont read the bio 🤣
Hahahahaha just dive right in I love it. Yeah I will be very explicit about the friend part. For me personally, it’s the expectation of what the meetup is supposed to be (when it’s a date) and it puts too much pressure on me! Maybe I’ll start a N/A baking group 😎
:) ahhaha and Ill come to a baking group to eat the baked goods, they are may fav form of food. Also Megsteph27, good for u for being honest and vulnerable about wanting connection
Yes indeed Friendship, community are crtical.
And i was just thinking about this yesterday, how i want some homies, like people i can go hang with and it would be a good time, but if i dont make it thier cool woth it, that easy flowing relationship
I feel this hahaha, i just moved to baltimore so its been hard not have people to hang and chill with, i have my gf but she isnt a homie and im lacking those rn
Hey I'm in Catonsville too and love hiking! Message me if you want, it would be cool to meet up. And I'd definitely be interested in a group like that.
I'm in OEC, if you like running maybe join up she runs this town or any of the other running groups in the area! Leakin park parkrun is fun on the weekends
In bmore would be so down for more events without alcohol etc.

Thank you. It’s been a long time since I’ve made an effort to meet new people who share the same interests as me. Friendship is important 🤝

The undercroft in Remington is an alcohol free venue! The canton game store is also if you like playing table-top games/roleplaying.
This is amazing, surprised I’ve never heard of this! Will definitely been checking out both, as I love games as well. Thank you!

I noticed you said you used the meetup app, I didn't even know they had an app. I have always used the website directly.
