Seriously,it was damn exhausting and as usual day … nothing changed other than knowing that my colleague is leaving and unfortunately,I came to know very last…I wonder even if he shares most of the things,he couldn’t tell me this ..I felt really bad..still,Just good to know that he is happy….
Just reached home and would like to talk to somebody,who is a stranger….who may become a friend… because,You can freely talk to a stranger sometimes,more freely than whom we think we are very close….this sounds crazy..but it works….
Hello ❤️ im here in Dublin. If you want to chat, no problem anytime, I’m retired now, so I have plenty of time 😉 I think I can answer your question about human purpose, if you wish, I trust and I’ll give you my WhatsApp 087 988 6206 👍 Best Wishes, John.

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…
Hi,
I’m in the process of applying for a few programs to go back to school in Ireland. I have a few friends there, but would like to make more! I just got back from a trip around the island in November and am headed out there in January again.
I’d love to make some connections, especially in anticipation of living there for next Autumn’s semester!
Happy to chat about most things, love new people! Don’t be shy.
Thanks!
Katie
Hi there
Is this site still active? No one seems to message back 🙁 If it is and if anyone sees this, have any of you arranged to meet up or anything? It would be nice to meet new people around the midlands but I do drive too.
Hi there.
I’m Nathan, mid-twenties, my social life prospects got torpedoed by Covid, so I’m trying to start again from square 1.
Hopefully there are some other weirdos here, I’d love to chat.
I am in the same both. I miss gigs, random party and just focusing on me. I need mom friends now!
I just joined this site. I’m not sure there’s much going on. But saw this and wanted to say I know how you feel!

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?

Hey folks, I’m Paul and live in Wicklow. Married with no kids. I work for a software company and am a gigantic nerd. Also love motorbikes and playing music. Everything is online these days so I thought it could be a cool place to meet like minded people for chats, hang out.
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 everybody, Im Valeria, 27, from Italy but recently moved to Ireland, co Clare.
Im married, no kids yet, no fur kids either.
I look forward making friends here, im quite shy and introverted (i know, not quite the italian stereotype).
I like pop/emo/rock music, musicals, videogames, anime/manga culture. Happy to meet for a coffee, or chat. 🙂
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!
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

Hello, BFFs! I am counting the days until we can fix up our house in California and sell it, then move to Ennis. The current plan is April 2025. Tick tock tick tock.
I grew up in South Africa, lived in Dublin for a few years in the 1980s, and have spent the last several years in California. Now our kids are grown and it’s time for Pat and me to go exploring on our own, and what better spot than Co. Clare, amirite?
There are a lot of people reaching out here on BFF. I’m curious how well that’s working. I’m fairly introverted so it’s always been hard for me to “just make friends”, and I find it super awkward to reach out to a stranger and say “hey I’ll be your friend” because you never know what you’re getting into. 😬 When we were young, our school classmates provided a good pool of potential friends. At work, we’re exposed to people who might turn into friends. (Unless you worked where I used to work 🙄) And when you’re in a new place and don’t know anyone, it’s really, really hard.
But research shows that one way to start friendships is to keep showing up.
One of the first things I’m going to do when we hit the ground in Ireland is sign up to volunteer… somewhere. I’ve found a few volunteer orgs but I’d love to get some suggestions. Who knows, I might even be able to connect with one of them <i>before</i> we get to Ireland.
What volunteer orgs do YOU recommend?
There are loads of good people out there. Sadly I think a lot have the same trust issues. Usually caused by one or two bad eggs

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 Tracey and have recently moved from carlow to wicklow and struggling to settle and make friends, I’m 46 single and have no children
Hello All,
I just moved to Tullamore and looking for friends or to connect with people. I am 30, Male and an Engineer. Friendly and easy going.
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
I just joined and having issues with this site… Could someone, please, explain me how to pin my interests in my profile? Thanks!!!
Hi,
This is Mark(27)
I am from India. It has been an year for me in ireland. I recently moved from Galway to Dublin for my accounting job.
I am looking forward to making some friends here. Thank you.
Hey everyone,
What's the craic?
I am Agni and I moved to Ireland almost 2 years ago. I enjoy travelling, hiking, meeting new people and getting to know more about new cultures. I haven't had the opportunity to explore enough of Ireland due to living a busy life in a remote part of this country.
If anyone feels like having a chat or meetup over tea, coffee or a drink, drop a message.
Hope to meet some interesting people to share more with.
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've never tried it, it's my first experience, so I can't say anything about it yet.
It can be so hard to make friends here!
I have lived in Ireland all my life, 25 now and even i struggle to make friends here.
Good luck and I hope you make some friends here

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.

I’m 31 years old, married, mom of a 2 year old boy, recently moved to Athlone. Since I'm new in town, I'm looking for new friends here (not necessarily moms) for hanging out, coffee, walks, outings, nights out etc.
I hope to meet friends here but the profiles on this site don't have much information about themselves and I'm not sure if I should contact them.

Hey,
I am in my late 40s and moved back to Ireland a few years ago, just before COVID hit. Most of my previous friends now have much younger kids than mine and are not interested in taking time off from their families, which is fine and understandable.
I am hoping to make new friends with similar interests to mine. Not interested in a romantic relationship, just friendships.
It is my first day here but I am getting the feeling not much is happening. Is there still someone around Dublin that is active in this site? If so, please feel free to give me a shout!
All the best,
Sonia 🙂

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?
