I currently live in southern MN, about a hour and 20 minutes south of Minneapolis, but when my lease is done next year I will be moving to the cities. Over the last two years my friend group has become rather small mainly due to realizing I was always the disposable friend and people moving away. I want to start building new friendships around the community that I will be establishing my permanent home in but I don't know where to start. I would consider myself an introverted extrovert which I am actively working to overcome and not allow the anxiety of being out of my comfort zone rule my life any more.

Things about me: I love coffee, trivia events, TV/movies and live music. I am not beer drinker but enjoy a cider or other adult beverages. Big fan and supporter of the Frost and Lynx, I also enjoy watching the occasional Timberwolves and Wild games.

Hello again, gang!

I’m Doc, an artist based in St. Paul who runs Rough Sketch out of Studio Rough Haus, a queer artist venue located in South Saint Paul.

Rough Sketch is basically my excuse to try to get other twin-cities artists and creative folks together to hang out for a couple hours every month and work on stuff together and just create a space to hang out and vibe and maybe meet some friends!

So swing by, bring a pencil and some paper, maybe a friend, and come see what we’re working on!

SRH has been really good to us in the past letting us host once a month minus a couple busy months for their shows here and there. But they’ve got snacks, drinks, and we’ve got an Instagram and a discord now! I just need to be better about asking folks permission to take photos of their work because I get caught up in yappin a lot lol.

Cheers!

I'm planning to take an Intro to Curling class this Sunday at the Saint Croix Curling Center in Lakeland/Bayport area. They offer a league over the winter that I'm thinking about joining.

I'm looking for some new friends as I work through my midlife crisis. I've recently started a 90 day separation from my wife and one of my goals is to expand my friend base.

So what do I like to do? Well first, I'm open to trying new things so don't be afraid to suggest something. I like breweries, downhill skiing, watching football, trivia, musical theater, hiking, camping, cruising & travel, movies, cycling, golf (I'm not good), cocktails, live music, comedy/improv, boardgames & cards (especially cribbage).

I live in the east metro as well. I have 2 kids, one at home and the other in college. If you think we might get along or you want to try curling with me, send me a message!

As the title suggests, I recently moved to the Twin Cities (in April of this year), and I would love to make some girl friends. Nothing against guy friends, but I really want to find some platonic girl friends.

I enjoy a wide variety of things: crafting (cross stitch, coloring, beading, macrame, etc.), house plants, gardening, hiking, board games, volleyball, pickelball, walking, riding my bike, live music, going out, and probably more that I can’t think of right now.

Hello,

I just realized because I've been so caught up trying to figure out how to make things happen in my professional life, I just realized aside from playing the new castlevania game, I really haven't celebrated spooky season properly . It's my first year here in the twin cities, what kind of stuff can you get into out here?

I am attending the first night of wobbleween with some people, but I'm not sure how available I'll be to network much there, but I'm in a "down for whatever" mood.

I’m 23 and recently moved to the Minneapolis. Are there any recs for spots to catch the Wolves games? Would love to meet other fans to watch games with

Looking for a weekend run club near the northwest Metro will to travel.

Has anyone done it? Any good? Sausage fest? Most people actually run vs. walk? Socialize after?

Any Nordeaster’s here? Which bars would be best for watching the World Series tonight?

I'm 27F and moved to Minneapolis about 2 years ago, and honestly I've been having such a hard time with the dating scene here.

I've tried the apps on and off, but haven't had much luck finding guys I actually connect with. I'm pretty liberal and would really like to meet someone who shares similar values, but it feels surprisingly difficult to find single, like-minded men around my age who are actually looking for a relationship.

I feel like everyone says Minneapolis is a great city for dating and meeting people, but I'm starting to wonder where everyone is hiding lol. It also seems like so many people already have their established friend groups and social circles, which makes meeting new people organically even harder.

I'd really love to get off the apps and meet people in real life, but I'm not sure where to start.

So, where are the single, liberal men in their late 20s/early 30s hanging out? Are there certain bars, neighborhoods, activities, social groups, or events I should be checking out?

Would also love to hear from other women around my age about their experiences dating here. Is it just me, or is dating in Minneapolis genuinely this hard? 😅

Any advice is appreciated!!

My partner (24F) and I moved to St. Paul over the summer and now that we’ve settled in we’ve been struggling to make friends. Would love some suggestions or to just meet some people on here!

Break the Bubble is a meetup group that draws big crowds to brewery taprooms (and other locations) in the Twin Cities. Our next event is Saturday 10/31 (5pm-10pm) at Dual Citizen Brewing in St. Paul. No fee to attend, just show up, put on a nametag, buy a drink, and start chatting. It's that easy!

It is BtB's annual Halloween party! Costumes encouraged (there will be 4-5 gift cards as prizes) but not required. Free candy, and if you want real food there's a food truck too.

Are there any good events happening on Friday for Halloween?

I usually just go out to the bars but it's so busy and have to get there early or else wait in line and it's hard to bar hop.

Hosting a poker game this week and was looking to fill up some more seatss so throwing it out theree. Like to run fun games and often! Music drinks etc Feel free to msg or dm me if interested! Generally low stakes and Texas holdem. I can give more details if any questions

Edited to add: Thank you for the responses! I'll be replying this afternoon!

I'm 41M and I've been in the Twin Cities for a couple years. Prior to moving, I used to do trivia a few times a month and I'm interested in finding a regular group again. I enjoy the experience, but I'm also competitive by nature, so I'd like to find some similar folks. I've won playing solo a few times against teams just for the love of the game, but it's more fun with others.

A general, brief about me: Good general knowledge, but strongest in sports, world events, politics, history, and random geo and bio. Quick witted. Introverted but I warm up quickly. Politically progressive.

What's out there?

I'm looking for some good ol' October 31st plans. Anyone know of a party or similar fun event I could swing by, and would anyone like to join me? I'm a gal in her mid 20's and would love to hang out with some other ladies. An event that starts earlier in the night (7-8pm) would be preferred. Thanks and happy spooky season!!

Anyone interested in starting or know of any morning coffee groups? I’m thinking like 7:00 am meeting at a coffee shop for accountably. Currently in Minneapolis.

If any of those sound interesting hit me up. I am a 29 year old male, I don’t live in the cities but I’m up in the twin cities at least once a month. Just be funny haha weird and like stupid humor with big words mixed in thx.

This is an open invite to join me Friday, October 30th at the South St Paul Dreamers Vault to play boardgames. I will arrive around 5:30 and chat/play filler games with whoever is there. At 6:30 we will pick what longer games we'll be playing. I will grab a table near the middle left of the gaming area and you'll know me by my bald head and beard.

I do my best to bring a wide variety of games plus some of the regulars bring games as well so there's typically a good variety. Last time we played Hey, That's My Fish!, This Game is Killer: Alien on Board, Bomb Busters, and Dice Throne. You can check these out at Boardgamegeek.com.

We have a great, diverse group : both male and female presenting, coming from a wide range of backgrounds, and ranging in age from 20s to 60s. All are welcome!

This is for all player levels from total beginner to advanced. Depending on how many show up, we'll organize the tables by ability levels. Please bring your set if you have one.

We'll be at BlackStack.

Date: Friday October 30th

Time: 6:30

Hi! I graduated from college this past spring and currently living in the uptown area. I’ve had a lot of friends move away and am looking to expand my circles.

I love crafting, hiking, thrifting, playing cards and going for strolls around the lakes. I’m always down to try a new restaurant, coffee shop or bar!

Feel free to reach out as I’m always looking to make new friends!
