Thanks

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

Hi Clare, I can totally relate. Where are those genuine good folks that are kind caring and funny… I’ve been searching since thr age of 5…

[Wisam Elkouteini]

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 ^_^

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.

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?

[Clare Christian]

[Delick Mecha]

It’s a small world, imagine moving to a new country and you already have a friend that you can look upto.

Life is easy and we can make it interesting and fun. 😊

[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.

[Poppy121]

I too would love to meet new friends. It seems to get harder and harder as I get older & there are less places to meet where you can make a real connection

Grew up in a farm environment but I like dogs and cats more.
Have a shelter at my family home but don't have one in Ireland.

[Agni Paul]

Hey Colin,

Drop a line if you'd like to talk. It's not always easy to hot the right notes with the right people.

Been to Limerick only once but you can give me a tour in the future.

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.

[Agni Paul]

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.

[Anonymous]

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

Thanks a million.

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

[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.

[Amberley G]

[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.

[Dylan Díaz]

I don’t know but I’m lonely hahaha

[Alessandro Gil]

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

[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 🙂
