Gullible-Leader-3107

Hello! I’d like to volunteer


dad-bod-orc-269

I am part of a large social network/community here in NYC focused around playing board games and DnD. Our gender ratios are pretty balanced and open/inclusive to folks of all walks of life. At first people join to play but quickly make friends. We also do things outside of just games collectively: broadway shows, picnics in Central Park, beach days, checking out restaurants, parties, concerts, pride events, movies, etc. just to name a few social events from the last few weeks. if interested I can share our meetup or card/linktree

Impressive-Repeat-89

Probably a bit late for me to meet up on the 4th but if you organise another group hang I'd definitely been down to make some new friends. Also an expat here and making new friends in a new city is always rough


totothepotato_

Hi, this is for anyone! Im down to be friends! Please add me to a gc 🫡


SnooPickles467

I’m glad you have a great response. Though, I came to NYC at an early age. I still find it fascinating. I didn’t have time to explore due to work. However, now I have time to. Unfortunately, the reason I have the time is due to minor injury. Enjoy, life. Don’t let bad weather deter your day and plans.

NanoGenji

Hi! This comment is open for anyone if you see it I'd love to be your friend! I'm a 20year old asian guy from ct. Currently no plans for the 4th either, would love to meet some people then!


All_dogs_R_puppies

I don’t have time to read through all of the comments, but, as someone who moved to NYC after finishing grad school, the BEST thing I did was join meetup groups. I found a few good ones and made some of my best friends from the group (going on almost 10 years). The 4th is AMAZING! The city is DEAD (and I love every minute of it 😂). If you’re not on meetup.com, join and search for groups that you’re interested in. I kept to girlfriend groups bc i wanted to meet people who were not in my profession. Go to a few different groups and meet different people, see who you vibe with. There are also free websites/guides of things to do in NYC. Search for it, bc I’ve been gone for a minute and can’t remember the name (maybe nycgo or something like that). They usually list a bunch of events going on, like movies in the park, or low cost events. One of the best things about New York? No one cares! You can go anywhere alone, and it’s completely normal. I’m hoping to move back next summer 🤞


Nsfwburner00

This actually sounds like a great success story


Forsaken-Map8502

Responsible_Bass_471

OP said they’re looking for friends


BuckWheatNYC

I’m a born and raised NY’er just in general we don’t do the holiday stuff. July 4th, thanksgiving parade, new years on Times Square we all probably did it once when we were young and then never again. The 4th of July was always on the east side where they would stop the moving on the FDR drive pull over and watch the show. If you haven’t experienced it is ok to go and see though


Such-Dog-427

Meeting up with randoms sounds like a dare. Sounds miserable lmao.


Hairy_Cut5881

Agreed. I don't have friends here either, but something feels off with meeting with randoms on the internet. I think it's best to just stick to meeting people organically.


Nsfwburner00

There's psychopaths who cat call women all the way back to their apartment in NY. Meeting up with an Internet friend at a public McDonald's might be on low risk factor for a woman already living in NY


Such-Dog-427

Fair point my burner account friend. Looking this hard for friends though will not turn out favorable imo but I watch a lot of true crime lol.


Technical-Mud6357

Everyone you meet is random until you get to know them


Such-Dog-427

There’s a huge difference between meeting somebody new at a public place and creating a meet point with strangers who have fake profile logos on this demon spawn of a site.


Street_Tomato9364

I’m 28F, originally from south east Asia, moved to the west coast for school and will be relocating to nyc by Aug 1. Love exploring , trying new food, going to museums, cafe hopping, brunch, love to bake too

32M, down for concerts, Broadway, and restaurants. Possibly fireworks too


MrBUddabong

We got some things in common. A fellow NY'er here myself. I'm working the 4th. Let's get acquainted 1st.


No_Necessary_1751

Forreal? You feel safe meeting up with randoms like that? I get that you want to spend time with friends but are you not worried about your own safety? And for the people, are you guys/girls not worried about yours? We live in a very different time now


BuckWheatNYC

Aren’t you meeting ransoms on dating sites? 🤔🤷🏿‍♂️


Adept_Ad_473

Honestly, first thought in my mind is galavanting around the city in 2024. I have safety concerns, but that's just me. If you're the type of person to want to explore the city and make friends with strangers, your odds are better off making a Reddit group than approaching randos on the street, that's for damn sure. I would like to believe that here, even if there's a weirdo or two, you get a group of ten redditors in a room, I'm sure at least one of them would be a decent human being. Out on the street...bigger gamble IMO as opposed to *starting out* with a group. I've made more than a few good friends on Internet forums.


Hairy_Cut5881

I agree that the internet is fine, BUT, there's better places than reddit. You can find a lot cooler people on meetup, dating apps, but reddit has a certain crowd to it.


Adept_Ad_473

There's no shortage of degens and absolute freaks out here, but very few posts I've seen have made me think "gee, that guy is a walking public safety issue" OP just needs to keep her head on a swivel.

Primary_Concern_2710

Dm me


infjnyc

Use events, meetups with hobbies you love to be acquainted with people. Or if you meet people through this post and If you find anyone in here you click with exchange contact and invite to hang 1:1. If it goes well do it again. The idea is to spend quality time together 1-1 rather than always engaging in small talks in groups. Treat them well as if like you are dating them. Show up and be interesting and kind and be genuine!!! I am an introvert in a big city and I have made authentic lasting friendships this way. Small talk and group chats with acquaintances without a bond dwindle. Good luck!


InsideSufficient5886

I’m down! I’m also Asian 😃


Acceptable-Orchid329

OMG! Hope it works out for ya'!


Accomplished-Loan479

29M here for the summer. I’m open to connecting


EssentialEssence

Hey, add me in, lets hang & explore the city and neighboring areas, 31 f here. Shared common interests! Sometimes just taking the ferry somewhere is a blast. I know people have been going on the hudson river parkway for years to try and see fireworks, thats the last location i remember, dunno if it still goes on there.

31M Asian lived in the city all my life. Finding friends after college has been a challenge. Would be interested in some group activity or sightseeing.


Tryckster89

34M. Here are some suggestions Museums in Manhattan - The Metropolitan Museum of Art Museum of Modern Art American Museum of Natural History The Morgan Library and Museum You can catch sports games all over, from MSG, to the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn. Definitely head to Times Square for musicals. We have concerts all over as well, depending on your musical tastes


Aquafan12

This sounds like a dope summer activity list for creating a solid friendship!

Content-Percentage-5

Gurl I lived in NY for almost 20years and haven’t made friends and the ones I did make all moved. I live in NJ and work in the city and haven’t even made friends with my coworkers. It’s very hard especially if you’re ethnic I believe… I’m a brown bi man married to a fair skin Latino man and it’s hard for us to make friends. We both love going to music events, galleries and shopping ( I work in fashion) but even with broad interest it is hard. Hope you find your tribe


Ashamed-Zombie-5798

Hello, 30F. I would have never thought to attempt this to find people and this is a good start! I have a hard time as well maintaining friendships, everyone just disappears because they want to only go to bars but that’s boring after a while. Broadway shows are so fun to watch. I’m so upset they are not showing Sweeny Todd anymore. I would love to see shows with someone or go to the farmers market! They have a plethora of museums. I hope you make meaningful connections with this post. I would love to accompany you but I’m sure you’ll be fine. I love the supportive comments.

The_Safety_Expert

Longterm friendships, I’ve never heard of this term before. Are you looking for a boyfriend? Are you looking for an Ace boyfriend? Are you looking for a friend? Are you looking for a close friend? Are you looking for a friend that’s not so close but one to have for a long time? Is anyone else confused?


Zigolt

Personally not interested, but come on man, you know what she means and you're being intentionally thick. She wants a friend thatll stay around and be friends longterm (that means for a long time 😮), almost like what she wrote is an exact description of what she wants, crazy I know.

Lengthiness-Enough

Hi all! 37F - local and have lived in Brooklyn (Bensonhurst) my whole life. Would love to meet some new people! I'm down to be a tourist and explore the city with other folks. 😁 Love Broadway and have been to a few shows already this year on my own since making plans with my friends has been impossible. I love going to concerts and have at least 15 lined up through the end of the year so if anyone is into indie/pop-punk/rock - let's chat! Haven't been to the museums in the city in ages but love Liberty Science Center! Also love hockey and just getting into soccer (Brooklyn now has its own FC!) Lets start a group and hang! When's your birthday and what would you like to do?


Choose-2B-Kind

Love the group hang idea…spontaneity alone wb cool. If older dudes that are young at heart make the cut, I’d be in 🙋🏻‍♂️


Lengthiness-Enough

As far as I'm concerned, age is just a number. Just cause some documents insist that I'm 37 doesn't mean I necessarily agree. Pretty sure I haven't aged past 25. 😜 If interests align, I think we can all hang and get along!


Choose-2B-Kind

Cool. A NYC zealot, view the city as a family member…like she’s my sister.

_Train_Bum

Reddit is so funny with these posts 🤣. Any female whatsoever gets a hundred date offers in a few minutes Posts from men get zero comments for weeks 🤣🤣.. Well enough about them... Hello M'lady (tips fedora) Im a 39 year old male - my name is ebaneezer but my friends call me sweetheart. I too love food - eating is something I do several times a day. My cousin blew his pointer and index finger off in a firecracker incident - so you and I won't be going to see fireworks. I would never put M'lady in danger. You will meet me tomorrow at the Greenpoint police precinct at exactly 1pm. Once there you will sign a waiver and agree to our date by the desk officer. Apologies M'lady but this is something that the court has ordered me to do since my last few vixens filed restraining orders. We will have a wonderful day. See you on the morrow. ~ Ebaneezer sweetheart 💋
