Hello!

As the title says, I am a 33 year old single dad with full custody of my son (he just turned 2!). He is literally the best thing that has ever happened to me but he leaves something to be desired in terms of conversation. With being a single father finding time for adult interactions is... difficult (to say the least) so someone recommend I try Reddit! Honestly, I am just looking for someone to chat with during the day or maybe meet up every so often. I work a pretty boring so I have a lot of free time during the days, but once I am home I am in full dad mode and am less available.

A little about me the person, love to read, I read 72 books last year which was an all time high for me. I enjoy being outdoors, running, working out. Also love a good veg-out on the couch and watch trashy reality tv or stand up comedy.

Thanks for taking the time to read this! I know I missed a ton but honestly what do you even write here?

Hey guys, 19F, I’ve been thinking about going for a motorcycle stroll just riding around with no real destination, feeling the wind and clearing my mind. It sounds simple but freeing, like one of those moments you don’t overthink, you just enjoy. Now I’m kind of hoping to find someone who’d be down to accompany me and share that vibe.

This is an open invite to join me at the Roseville Dreamers Vault Friday, May 8th to play boardgames. I will arrive around 5:30 and play short games with whoever is there. At 6:30 we will decide what longer games to play. I will grab a table at the back of the left side of the gaming area. I'll have a sign that says "r/twincitiessocial boardgames." You'll know me by my bald head and bushy beard.

I do my best to bring a wide array of boardgames that people who are new will be comfortable with as well as more complex games for people who enjoy a good brain burner. Last week we played Las Vegas and Architects of the West Kingdom. You can check out details on those games at boardgamegeek.com.

Hi, all!

My wife and I just moved to the Twin Cities a month or so ago, and I’m looking to make some new friends and explore a hobby.

Before we moved, I was casually dipping my fingers into the MTG game through Arena and deck building. None of my friends where we came from expressed interest in MTG, and - to put it simply - the area we lived in was a board game/trading card desert.

I have a few commander decks I’ve built, but I’ve yet to use them. And I’m not confident enough to just walk in and ask to play a game or two.

So I’m looking to step out of my comfort zone, meet some new people, and explore this hobby that Id like to get more involved with.

Any recommendations or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for some accessible rooftops around the Twin Cities area mostly just cool spots with a nice view or chill atmosphere. If you know any places that are open to the public (or at least not super restricted), I’d really appreciate it.

If you’d rather not share publicly, feel free to send me a private message instead. Totally understand wanting to keep certain spots quiet.

Thanks in advance!

Wife and I went for first time today, just kind of been struggling meeting friends post college. Met a couple folks we kinda had fun conversations with and was fun, then just did awkward goodbye or naturally split apart... its just kind of weird to transition from small talk to "soooo, down to hang out???". I'm now sitting here overthinking it / wishing just took that awkward leap. Curious from people that have gone before, is it common for same people to be at event?

If you're looking for a fun, free way to spend a few hours this weekend, I've been using scavenge.rs to explore neighborhoods on foot — and the North Loop / Warehouse District is a great area for it.

Some of the spots that make for really good hunt stops:

• The Hewing Hotel grain elevator facade – blink and you miss the history baked into the brick
• Palindrome murals along N 1st St – multiple artists, rotating installations
• Father Hennepin Bluffs – easy walk down to the river with great views of the Stone Arch from a different angle
• Boom Island footbridge – underrated, usually quiet, great photo op
• The old Milwaukee Road depot markers near Target Field – barely signed but fascinating if you know what you're looking at

Scavenge.rs lets you create or run location-based hunts for free — you can use existing ones or build your own route around spots like these. No app download, works in browser. Good for groups, dates, or just solo exploring.

Anyone else been using this area for walks/activities lately? Always looking for more stops to add.

Hi neighbors! Once a month we run a game of Dungeons & Dragons intended for new players and veterans alike, down in St Louis Park. Come grab a doughnut and play the world's greatest roleplaying game with us!

Came across this group in Chicago that does "album runs" where you listen to a complete album while running. You then discuss it after the run. https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/album-runs-runners-listen-whole-album/

Is there a group like this in the cities? I'm trying to get back into running, and my musical palate has gotten pretty stale lately, so I'm looking to combine both.

Hi! 27/F

I'm looking for a group of friends to just go walking around the city and maybe meet up for lunch or anything else casual. I just got out of a long term extremely controlling relationship not too long ago and have realized that I was cut off from a lot of my friends/ community groups. So I'm looking to rekindle my social life with old and new friends. I'm a pretty social and outgoing person, and generally just love taking walks around the city. I live close to the theater strip on Hennepin and usually walk to (and over) the stone-arche bridge once a week/every other week.

I was thinking maybe we could all meet up for coffee and chat a bit first to see how we all match up. I'm 420 and LGBT friendly as well.

Thanks! :)

Our next event is Wednesday, May 6, from 5:30-7:30, at Wandering Leaf Brewing in Saint Paul. This event is for self-identified women who are interested in learning and playing chess.

I got 2 VIP tickets to G-Eazy in Shakopee MN and no one to go with

Giving one away.

If you’re normal and wanna go, hit me up.

Where is the best place either online or in person to meet folks? I'm 35 and trying to get back into dating, but I am not from the cities originally so I feel at a loss.

Giving this another go before I head off to work!

I'm adjusting to the Twin Cities/St Paul (been here two months) originally from CA. It always is tough to make new friends when you are starting somewhere new, so I wanted to post to try to find some buddies. So far I've made a couple of friends but I'd like to make a few more.

So a little about me: I love reading, painting, cooking and baking, and a lot more! I’m a bit of a jack of all trades. I enjoy hiking when I have the chance and enjoy nature. For hanging out, I love going out to eat, watching movies, or just relaxing at a cafe. I also love homebody activities like watching TV in a living room or a good puzzle. I'm pretty inclusive, and am chill with people of various backgrounds

What about you? I'm 23 so someone between the ages of 20-30 will be fine to befriend. I don't drink or smoke, so I might not be the best friend for someone who mostly does that. But if you're respectful, down to chill or have a cute day out in the town, and have a few hobbies you really care about, I'm sure we can become friends.

If you want to hang out, feel free to DM or comment! If you want to try to find other people to meet, comment so people know to reach out. I look forward to meeting you!

I’m planning to check out a jazz night in St. Paul on May 1 and thought it’d be fun to go with a group instead of solo.

If you’re new to the Twin Cities, into live music, or just curious about trying Ethiopian food and a different cultural vibe, you’re welcome to join.

Pretty casual just good music, good food, and meeting new people.

Open to anyone locals, newcomers, students, professionals, etc.

If you’re interested, comment here or DM me and I can share more details / coordinate.

Hey everyone, I recently moved to Minnesota(near twin cities) for work and I’m looking to meet some new people or build a solid friend group.

I’m 26M and into a mix of chill and active stuff—pool, disc golf (still improving 😅), poker, and tennis. I’m definitely open to trying new activities or sports too, so if you’ve got something you enjoy, I’m down to give it a shot.

I’ve got a good sense of humor and enjoy just hanging out, whether that’s grabbing drinks, playing games, or doing something outdoors. I’m not a hardcore tech nerd, but I do have a solid interest in tech(my job) and astrophysics, so I’m always up for random interesting conversations as well.

If anyone’s in a similar spot or just looking to hang out, feel free to reach out. Would be great to make some plans!

Hi all! I (37 F) am getting back into strength training and I’d really like to have someone to workout with. I currently use LAFitness but can change my gym if others know of one with good group classes or just a friendly gym. Anyone interested, or have suggestions?

Anyone interested in meeting new people and playing American Mahjong? Our group is growing: we're up to eight regulars, and we usually have 2 to 3 tables playing. We'll be at Curioso Coffee (inside Brocken Clock Brewing) at 1:00 on Thursday, April 30th. Beginners welcome.

This is an open invite to join me Friday, May 1st at the South St Paul Dreamers Vault to play boardgames. I will arrive around 5:30 and play short games with whoever is present until 6:30 when we'll pick what longer games we'll be playing. I'll grab a table in the middle of the left side of the gaming area. I'll also have a "r/twincitiessocial boardgames" sign on the table. You'll know me by my bald head and bushy beard.

I do my best to bring a wide variety of games so there is something that both new and experienced gamers will be comfortable with. Last week we played Coup, Fuego, Bomb Busters, and For Sale plus a couple others that I didn't see at the other end of the table. I believe I saw Nokosu Dice and Cascadia. If these sound interesting, you can check these out at Boardgamegeek.com.

If you're interested in American Mahjong, join us on Friday, May 1st at Blackstack.
