I mean, 27M 😂 wanna be my friend?
Literally yes lol
I did bumble bff and only got 1 friend. Lol honestly found it a little bit more awkward than dating.
If there are events close to where you're , check out meetup or similar apps. Events are all group and revolve around doing activities together like hiking, co working, board games etc
MeetUp groups are awesome!! Have had a lot of really positive experiences. There are some designed specifically to meet new people & make friends and others that are more hobby/activity/interest oriented, like SA1 said. Would also recommend DC Fray for social sports leagues.
Bumble BFF is just as much sorting through weeds as dating, so it takes some failed ‘dates’, fyi! But I also love Volo sports!
Join a martial arts or CrossFit gym?
Bumble Bff has put me in connection with some great people but they dont necessarily stick. Giving it another shot tho
Join a sports league like softball when it’s warmer. If you have any hobbies like art or trivia, there are totally ways to meet people that way. In the pre-pandemic times most people here met friends through work or work events, but there are still a smattering of career-related meetups. When I lived in an apartment complex, I made a few friends with people at the gym there — much easier to coordinate hangouts with people who you run into all the time.
23 M also kind of new lol. Wanna be friends?
I’m 49/f and don’t do sports. I usually misplace my reading glasses so Bumble isn’t a good option for me - plus, my kids are all grown so I don’t have anyone here to show me how it works. My idea of an exciting evening involves reading the entire internet or watching Golden Girls reruns on the couch with my dog. However, I just moved to the DMV and would like a good reason to get out of the house and explore. Most of you are probably the same age as my kids, but they still like me as long as I don’t try to use words like “lit” or “yeet” in public. 🤷🏻♀️
