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…
Age wouldn’t bother me. I get on well with all ages. It’s just a pity you’re from Cork. Very far away. Lovely little doggies 🙂
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
I am in the same both. I miss gigs, random party and just focusing on me. I need mom friends now!
Hey Megan!
I’ll be in Mayo to visit the first week of June, so next week
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!
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?
Heya just looking to see if there is anyone from mayo on this? Seems to be lots from Dublin haha
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.
Iam looking for a friend because Iam still adjusting to Ireland. Hope I be able to meet great friends here.
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!
G’day
New on here. I’m from co.derry . Just want bit of company for a chat, tea/coffee. Love tge outdoors walking abd cycling
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?
Hi everyone, My name is Wisam. Originally I am from Syria, but spent a decade in Qatar and Dubai working before moving to Ireland 4 years ago. I am in my early 30s and it seems a bit hard to make friends these days, so I was like why not trying it here?!
I believe every good friendship starts with a simple “hello”, so here’s mine! 👋
Feel free to ping me for a walk, a drink, or even just a chat.
Looking forward to make new friends ^_^
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.
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.
Hi everyone, please give me a shout if you are from Galway, or love Galway, or just like people from Galway. My favourite thing about Galway is Salthill on a sunny day.
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.

Me and my husband Danillo, we so friendly. We stayed here to learn English, so I’m sorry if I got the words wrong.

If someone lives in Cork, we can spend time together.
Thanks a million.
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

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 🙂
Hi, I'm Dominik, 32, from Austria and I am on vacation in Dublin between 11.3 and 13.3. I am travelling alone to explore the city and to meet great people. Feel free to contact me if you have any recommendations about the city or if you would like to show me some special places or just to have a nice conversation with a drink (coffee/beer)! ^^
Hey 👋 just wondering if you know of book clubs or crime podcast groups in the South East area? Waterford, carrick on suir, clonmel etc. Or if anyone is interested in starting a club?
Hi,
I'm just looking for someone to meet for coffee, or a beer, take a walk, maybe do a boat trip or a bike ride, or whatever you like. I'm here a while, but haven't met anyone outside of work. I'd love to hear from anyone m or f.
