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. 🙂

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?

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.

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?

I’m planning on moving to Co. Clare in a couple of months. I’ve heard that it’s hard to find a place to rent with cats. Is this true?

[Priscila Hayes]

I just joined and having issues with this site… Could someone, please, explain me how to pin my interests in my profile? Thanks!!!

[Clare Christian]

My name’s Clare I live in the USA and I have no friends I find it hard to trust people because it seems wat I think a friendship is others don’t agree but I’m hoping here I might find decent honest caring funny people I can call my friends

[Anonymous]

Yes but its really difficult for me please someone become my Bff

[Anonymous]

Well six months on I found this site too and thought it would help me to find a few friends for the odd coffee or meal and a bit of conversation, but from the looks of things it's a bit of a wasteland might hang around for a little while and see if anything happens.

Hi I live in tipp and originally from limerick, I have lived here for almost 10 years and still find it difficult to make friend in my mid 30
Iv tried and just don’t seem to work. I like to think I’m funny and outgoing but recently I noticed when I needed someone to talk to i had know where to turn.

[Anonymous]

I've never tried it, it's my first experience, so I can't say anything about it yet.

[Anonymous]

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.

[stephanie-2]

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.

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 País 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. Aquí va un aportillo de un Programa en el lenguaje Python para quien lo pueda Aprovechar.

[Sonia Fernandes]

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 🙂

[Anonymous]

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?

I can’t agree more. I can’t even find places to meet people, and the people I do meet don’t stay in contact

[Bethwyn Whitcombe]

Hi, I’m Bethwyn, I’m 19 and Australian, I moved here 6 months ago with my fiancé who’s Irish, and our dogs will be flying over next month. I’m in cork and it’d help to find friends close to me. I love nature, going for bush walks or to nature reserves and wildlife parks, i paint and draw or play Minecraft in my spare time, but would like to meet people and start going out more, being more social. I can be really shy and awkward but once I’m comfortable I’m super goofy, loud and expressive. I’ve never had many friends and find it hard making friends, so I hope this site works.

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 🙂

[Alan Wilde]

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

Mammy friends

[Nadia_S]

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 am not all about Honduran music but I thought about sharing a song by an artist called Guillermo Anderson, the title is Give play to hope. If you want to add comments, they're welcome!

Hi,

I came two months ago to Dublin, so it´s being difficult make friends. I would like to meet new people and have a nice time. I consider myslef friendly, interested in Cinema, games, sports and others.

I am interested in language exchange since I speak Spanish and I would like to improve my english.

[Anonymous]

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.

🤞

[ElizabethSwan]

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.
