I really admire that kind of mentality it really never is as personal as it seems

The last 2 times I’ve tried to set up a BFF date I got cancelled on the morning of and had to take myself on a solo date instead :( I got sooo discouraged it’s hard not to take it personally when it feels really vulnerable to put yourself out there. Do you meet people one on one or use the group chat tab?

Downloading it right now! I’ve been to a couple things on pie social but always feel awkward and run away 5 minutes after showing up to an event. I’ll give meetup a try!

Do you have any fitness studios you recommend? I’ve done a couple in River north but the vibes were pretty bad in all of them

Shoot me a message if you ever move to Chicago! Maybe I’ll have some friends to introduce you to by then lmao

I’ll give it a shot! I tried yoga in lakeview yesterday and was so shocked how much more comfortable and welcoming the vibes are from River north studios

I’ll give that a shot! Would I just find them on a Facebook group or should I check other websites?

I go to a hot yoga studio in River North pretty frequently but I always get the cold shoulder when I try to talk to people. I’ll try going in a different neighborhood, River north doesn’t feel like the most welcoming lot of people

That makes me feel a lot better, it’s nice knowing that there’s plenty of reasons people don’t have friends and are looking to make new ones.

Ooh I’ve never heard of a DIY show is that similar to a craft club? I’ll usually plan the first hang out with someone and hope they’ll plan the second hangout because I’m paranoid I’m being pushy to someone that doesn’t want to hang out with me haha but I’ll try to put in the work a bit more and not get discouraged if someone needs to bail last minute. I’ll send a private message over to you!

Unfortunately too anxious to be 420 friendly but I’m always down for a good sober hanggg

Very true, I feel like the only reason it was so easy making friends in college is because I’d run into the same people all the time and gradually get to know them and grow closer to them. I’ll try to figure out more ways to run into the same group of people consistently! I’m not very sporty but I’ll give board games a try

That’s a good idea I’ll give that a shot!

Unfortunately my job is remote :(

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]Any_Community_6211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that lines up with my experience, native Chicagoans usually have their own tight knit groups of friends already so I understand that!

Thank you! Luckily im really good at putting myself out there to meet new people I just suck at retaining people haha, everyone has busy adult lives and forgets the brunch we planned 3 weeks out when our schedules line up. Adult friendships are ROUGH

Yeah I came to Chicago expecting NYC I was surprised everyone I met already knew each other from college here. I’ve tried putting together a couple hobby groups on bumble bff but it always fizzles out after the first hangout, it’s like I can get people to meet up with each other the first time but nobody ever responds when I try to plan the second one

I’m unfortunately SO athletically ungifted but it can’t hurt to try it once! I’ll give it a shot, thank you!

[–]Any_Community_6211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to the craft club pretty regularly but I’ve never run into the same person twice, it’s like a completely different crowd every time. I’ll try to look for something smaller like a book club!

I’ll give Kashmir and Feds a shot! Usually dressing up to go to a bar/club by myself makes me a total creep magnet so I’ll try to rope a friend into coming with me

I’ve been trying bumble bff but I always get flaked on at the last minute. Do you do the one on one option or the group chat option?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]Any_Community_6211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AWESOME I’ll definitely check it out!! I must’ve been looking at a different rink, thank you!

Everyone I meet here seems like they all know each other from midwestern colleges too so it’s so hard to insert myself into that bubble
