Maybe that’s a big reason why not much happens. I feel too uncomfortable sending messages to people, unprompted.
So, maybe we can do a thread in which anyone who joins has to send a message to each person already joined (unless that person doesn’t meet basic criteria), but it can also happen the other way around?
Might liven the place up a bit…
I’m also wondering about the same. I’m new to this site. Thought it’s a great idea, but it’s difficult to find someone (in my age).
Good luck for you 🙂
Anyone around the Kerry area? I’m into dissecting life, deep talks and figuring out our human purpose. Also love electronic music and dancing, going for coffee etc. 🙂
Hi there!
Hope you’re doing well. I’m reaching out because I’ll be moving to Ireland soon for research, and I thought it’d be nice to connect with some local people beforehand. I am from india and will come from Saudi Arabia for my PhD.
I’d love to get a casual feel for life in Ireland—culture, daily vibes, fun stuff to do, or just random chats. Nothing formal, just hoping to have a friendly conversation and get to know folks a bit before I arrive!
No pressure at all—just thought I’d say hi.
Cheers,

Had a baby at 40 and finding it rewarding of course but hard…. as the things I used to be able to do like going for walks alone with my dog or going to a gig are not things I’m able to do anymore. I’ve decided to try and inject more balance in my life by prioritising more ‘me time’ as I feel. need it to be an even better mom! But being removed from society for so long has started to take a toll on me and I know I need more contact with adults! And more mental stimulation. I wonder if any other moms feel the same?
Any into cycling dublin or surounding areas..
Hi there!
I’m Sonia, a Spanish student excited to move to Dublin at the end of February for an internship.
Having grown up in a small village, I’m eager to embrace new experiences and explore the vibrant culture of the city. I’m particularly interested in trying out activities like watching musicals, playing tabletop role-playing games (like Dungeons & Dragons), and other fun experiences that I’ve missed out on due to my personal circumstances. In my free time, I love reading, binge-watching series and movies, and diving into genres like fantasy, science fiction, and horror. I can be a bit shy at first, but I’m looking to connect with friendly, open-minded people, especially in the LGBTQ+ community.
If you’re up for some adventures or just want to chat about our favorite shows and books, feel free to reach out! Looking forward to making new friends in Dublin!
Hi All
I would like to start by saying it is very difficult to find a job in Ireland from South Africa. I know there is an issue wit immigration but to be honest, My great grandfather was from Ireland and it I just feel I belong there.
I have no clue why the hell I’m here but anyways, I have an unhealthy addiction to cod mobile after a whole year of not playing it and I need friends asap who want to join me on my adventure. Hit me up!
Mountains don’t meet but we people do so it’s so great to be here and get to meet different people. I am from Uganda
Hi I’m Nia, another 40-something Irish lady who has moved back to Ireland after some decades abroad and now find myself wondering “yikes, how on earth do we make new friends at our age!?”. I live in the south-side of Dublin, and work in the creative industries.
My spouse and our daughter have both settled into their new Dublin life really well, I’m just lagging behind a little bit because I work from home a lot. So I’d love to push myself to be more sociable, I’m not a drinker but love getting out for a cuppa, or a pastry!
I love pop music, vegetarian food, reading trashy novels, comedy, video games, all that good stuff! I would consider myself a loyal and supportive friend, I’m still close with my old college pals from back in the day. All new friends welcome, best wishes
-Nia x

Ripley. It’s amazing. Starring Irish actor Andrew Scott.
I loved the neo-noir aesthetic. But the understated actor was what makes this series soooo good. And who knew Dakota Fanning! I mean she’s never really had a role she could dig into to this extent. Quite excellent.
Hi I’m Ellie ,
Living in Louth after many years living abroad. I’m a nurse , finding it a bit hard to settle after living away for so long but hopefully this is a way to meet new people and maybe some lovely new friends too. I’m in Louth but am happy to meet up for coffee ( I love coffee) dinner, drinks and chats x
Looking to make new friends in Louth and surrounding areas
The poor and vulnerable people in our communities really need help and support from us all, They need a place to call their home, food, medical care, clothing, education etc

Yes but its really difficult for me please someone become my Bff
Don't know how to go about these things as meeting people directly and talking works less in the small country that I've lived in. Been almost 2 years since I've relocated to this country but I do enjoy meeting new people and getting to know them while sharing hobbies.
Feel free to drop a line and we can talk more.

I'm Irish, I lived abroad for many years. I think because I didn't see the people I went to school with we all grew apart as time went by. I'm single and many people I know are in relationships or living in other places. I find it's harder to make friends as you get older generally unless you make new friends through work and that's not always easy. I think it's difficult to make friends because many people are very busy or have settled on their friends already.
So I think we have to make the effort with the small talk and see where it leads…
Really hoping to get to know some interesting new people on this site and make some new friends.

Hey there.
I'm Alex, I'm actually living in Japan at the moment but will be moving to Ireland in a year or so, trying to meet people to talk to.
I'm 35, single, no kids.
Very introvert and stay at home person, but I love to chat. And reading books, tea, music (I play some instruments as well), playing videogames from time to time, going to restaurants, traveling and visiting new places. Would very much like to meet a new friend or two.
Cheers
Here en el interior de España las cosos son muy diferentes a la costa española, en la costa hay mucho turismo como vosotros sabeis bien, here en el interior de Spain somos más cerrados, quiza no somos tan abiertos como en la costa de spain, epro bueno aquà me teneis, no soy nada cerrado, good un saludo friens.
Buenos dÃas Comunidad. Aquà os envio un Saludo y un aporte, Que tengais un buen Comienzo de Semana.
Bueno, hoy ya empezamos una nueva semana asà que nos incorporamos a nuestros estudios y trabajos, a veces me paro a pensar si amanece todos los dias acaso no es un regalo que Dios nos hace. Me hace Meditar la verdad me lo pregunto muy a menudo. Thanks.
Hello Frinds. Here in Spain se Celebra la Tradición de la Semana Santa con sus Procesiones, me gustaria saber de alguna de vuestras tradiciones de vuestro Bello PaÃs Irlanda. Here en España la Gente es muy Religiosa yo no soy Religioso, la Gente acude a Ver desfilar a las procesiones y van a Misa. Bueno esto es un poco de lo que se Celebra en mi Pais. Thanks. Aquà va un aportillo de un Programa en el lenguaje Python para quien lo pueda Aprovechar.

Wow – my first day here but place must be a ghost town to say how little interest this post got.
Hi I'm Gavin – based in Cork and also a Disney land enthusiast 🤣
Going to see if we can't get some active users here into a zoom or something – up for it?

Hello,
first introduction on BFF for 2023!!
I'm Nicolas, from south France, by the Mediterranean Sea. I'm 43, have 3 children, 2 dogs and a cat 🙂
I'm a musician, a chemist working in Ecology and felt in love with Ireland and the Irish People a long time ago. I'm lucky enough to have friends living in Galway and visit them quite often.
I practice yoga, hiking, camping, cooking, playing guitar, bass guitar, trumpet, flutes…
I'm an highly sensitive person with a strong need for creation (writing, music, drawing…) and connections.
Even if I live far from Ireland, I'll be happy to meet people here, chat and maybe one day, meet you in person!
Have a beautiful day 🙂
Long story short:
Male, dad to 1, mullingar, 40’s, looking to make friends.
Long story long, I’ve moved around a bit and struggled to keep long term friends, primarily because I expect ultimate loyalty from friends. Partly because I’m quiet, always have been, always will be.
I do ove a good night out though. Love music, people always assume it’s rock I will like, but it’s everything from rock to trance and heavy house music. Love reading. Oscar Wilde. Edgar Allen Poe. Fiction. Micheal connelly. Graham masterton. Ken Bruen. Lee Child. Self improvement or business books.
Love nerdy stuff, not superheroes or marvel, but gadgets, Space, sci-if. Love wine and coffee. I’m socially awkward, but hide it well and get there in the end.
I’d be interested in meeting up with anyone interested in adding friends to their lives. HMU
Because Social media influences peoples lives
Sean, you came close to starting a spider farm. I accept spiders only in the form of Halloween decorations because they disgust me and I feel that there is something atavistic about this feeling. I am also fascinated by the world of animals. Interestingly, animals display behaviors that the general public calls typically human. For example, elephants bring flowers to the graves of their deceased relatives.
I generally like animals but my favorites are cats, raccoons, red pandas and foxes.
One of the main reason is probably due to cultural differences – that's why people have diffrent relationship patterns and expectations. I come from a more collective culture in which people think about others, people can rely on each other, are honest with each other, authentic and relationships are deeper and only then can it be called friendship. Someone here says that he has a friend, and the only thing he has in common with him is that they will go out for a beer from time to time to have small talk.
Good luck in finding true friends.

I have moved "recently" to Ireland and I find it difficult to make friends here whatsoever. I believe that making friends in one's 30s can be a bit challenging even in one's own country. But I guess in Ireland the difficulty is doubled, if not tripled.
"Recently" means around 10 months by now.
If anybody is willing to meet for a coffee or tea, I would be more than happy to do so.
🤞
Is there anyone on this site actually genuinely interested in connecting and making new friends? All I see are profiles which have very little or no information and some can't even be bothered to have a photo, just join with no other info.
I am mid 40s single female, no kids and no interest in having kids. I left Ireland after college and returned a few years ago. I am finding Irish people very reluctant and adverse to making friends and allowing a new person into their social groups. I don't have the same life experiences as other 40 something Irish people and if you are single with no kids, it seems that you are very much the outsider and people just cant relate as Irish society revolves around family.
My interests are
• European city breaks solo travel
• USA city breaks solo travel
• Visiting Disney parks
• Online communities and social media
• Gothic fantasy vampire movies and tv
• Marvel and superhero movies and tv
• Star Wars movies and tv
• National geographic documentaries
I just want to have real life people to talk to , to maybe meet up for coffee or shopping. I'm not looking for a romantic relationship, just to have someone that would ring me and say what are you doing Saturday, lets go try the new summer menu at Starbucks and have a chat.
I definitely loved the reading the series 'the dark tower'
