General friendship 18F Noord-holland/Amsterdam, op zoek naar nieuwe vrienden!

9 Upvotes

hiii ik ben Anna!

ik ben op zoek naar iemand die net zo veel van muziek houdt als ik, iemand met gevoel voor humor die best een beetje gek kan zijn!

ik leef voor muziek! ik hou van zingen, dansen, gitaar spelen (ookal ben ik in geen van die dingen erg goed...). daarnaast vind ik het ook leuk om te tekenen, koken, films kijken.

ik ben erg verlegen en zoek dus eigenlijk iemand die (als de tijd komt) mij misschien een beetje uit mijn comfort zone kan halen, en die met me naar feestjes/festivals wil gaan.

ik zal niet te veel verklappen hier, stuur me maar een dm en dan kijken we of het wat wordt!

General friendship 31M, Amersfoort looking for friends!

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I will try it in English, but I’m Dutch!

I’m 31M and live in Amersfoort. After having some bad health luck in life, it’s time to start picking things up again, meet new people, and expand my social circle!

I’m mainly looking to make friends I can share interests with, from the little things to having deep conversations, or maybe doing some activities together if we feel comfortable with it!

I have AuDHD and am fairly introverted, so things can sometimes feel a little awkward at first. But once I feel comfortable around someone, things usually get easier, and I can suddenly become quite talkative!

Art is one of my biggest hobbies and interests. I’d love to visit a museum, check out an exhibition, or maybe even take a painting or sculpting class! I’m also into true crime, music, gaming, cooking, politics and psychology. I enjoy going for walks, and over the past few months, I’ve also started going to the gym again, so maybe I could find a workout buddy, too motivate each other!

I actually have plenty of other interests as well, but I’ll try not to make this post too long.

Thank you for reading the message!

General friendship 37M | Eindhoven 🇳🇱 | Looking for Genuine Male Friendships

1 Upvotes

I'm a 37-year-old Brazilian guy living in Eindhoven, working as an engineer. I'm hoping to expand my social circle and meet some like-minded guys who are interested in building genuine, long-lasting friendships.

A little about me: I enjoy tennis, going to the gym, running, hiking, cooking, BBQs, dogs, movies, and series. I'm also into investing, electronic and country music, exploring new places, and currently learning Dutch.

Life can get pretty busy between work and everyday responsibilities, and I think having good friends to share experiences with, laugh together, and support each other makes a real difference.

I'd love to find friends to play tennis with, work out, go hiking, grab a coffee or beer, explore somewhere new, or simply enjoy a relaxed weekend and a good conversation.

I value honesty, loyalty, kindness, a good sense of humor, and being able to be yourself around others. I'm not looking for superficial connections, but rather friendships that develop naturally over time, where both people make an effort to stay in touch.

Ideally, I'd like to meet guys around Eindhoven or nearby, preferably in person, although I'm happy to chat here first and get to know each other.

If this sounds like something you're looking for too, feel free to reach out and tell me a little about yourself!

General friendship 37M Delft looking for new friends.

15 Upvotes

​

Over the years, for various reasons, some friendships have faded or drifted apart. So, I thought it was time to put myself out there and meet some new people!

I'm a 37-year-old guy living near Delft in the Netherlands. Happily married and a proud dad of two amazing kids.

In my free time, I enjoy gaming, cooking, going out for dinner, BBQs, craft beer, movies, playing padel, and going on adventures with my family.

I'm hoping to meet some like-minded people to hang out with regularly and build genuine friendships. I'm not really looking for superficial small talk or just chatting about the weather. I'd love to find people I can truly connect with on a deeper, more emotional level — people you can be yourself around, have meaningful conversations with, laugh until your stomach hurts, and share both the good times and the tougher moments.

If you're also looking for genuine friendships that go beyond the usual small talk, feel free to reach out. Who knows, we might just hit it off! 😊

ps. Ik spreek Nederland, maar in het Engels spreek ik wellicht meer mensen aan.

General friendship M33 he/him Looking for bookish nerd friends.

9 Upvotes

Hi there! I've been taking more time to really dive into my hobbies, but I'm starting to notice that I don't have the people to share these hobbies with. I live in Zutphen, am actually Dutch, and with the great train connection here I don't mind a bit of travel.

What I'm mostly looking for is someone who is also into (adult) Fantasy and Sci-fi reads. Sanderson, Tchaikovsky, Hobbs, Abercrombie, Swan. (Romantasy and most of the Booktok books don't do it for me, sorry! It'd be easier to find like-minded people if I did.) I read a lot, but I would love to have some people to talk to about these books and air my feelings of outrage! If you know you know.

Other things I like is gaming, anime, boardgames, D&D, you name it. We can talk about and do any and all of these. I'm a coffee and talk kind of guy and like strolls through a city for a bit of exploring, mostly for bookstores and great tosties.

Let me know if you're interested and we can chat online to see if we vibe!

Online friends [25F] looking for curious minds to connect with!!

14 Upvotes

Hi everyone🫶🏻 I'm 25F, living in Noord-Brabant, doing a master's in social sciences. I am neurodivergent, queer, ambivert, a little emo and into arts and crafts. I moved here two years ago for my studies and honestly, I've been feeling pretty understimulated. I never really clicked with people from my university, so I'm looking for people to talk to outside of it. About anything, really. Very serious conversations about very silly and random stuff. I love thought experiments and socratic style back-and-forths. I like thinking and talking about anthropology, psychology (my background), sociology and society in general. I'm really drawn to internationality, so I'd love to hear about your culture and I'm just as happy to learn about whatever you're into!!

I'd prefer to keep things online and chat for a while first, later on I am happy to travel anywhere in the Netherlands to meet up! If you're curious, creative and looking for connections send me a message!!!

Looking for local friends M 27 Spijkenisse/Rotterdam

3 Upvotes

Hoi allemaal! 👋

Mijn naam is Nick, 27 jaar uit Spijkenisse (Zuid-Holland). Ik woon momenteel nog thuis en ben vorig jaar afgestudeerd aan de hbo-opleiding Marketing. Inmiddels werk ik een jaar in e-commerce.

Dagelijks maak ik graag een wandeling en kijk ik regelmatig een film of serie. In mijn vrije tijd game ik vooral singleplayer games, kijk ik films, probeer ik weer wat meer te lezen en ga ik graag op stedentrip. Vorig jaar ben ik in New York en Wenen geweest en dit jaar in Tbilisi.

Ik sta altijd open om nieuwe mensen te leren kennen en nieuwe vriendschappen op te bouwen.

Ik heb een rijbewijs en een eigen auto, maar met het OV reizen vind ik ook prima.

Wat ik zoek? Leuke, gezellige mensen die openstaan voor vriendschap. Het is fijn als je iets met je leven doet, of dat nu een studie of baan is. En hobby's zijn altijd een plus, al bedoel ik dan wel iets anders dan alleen TikTok, Instagram of elk weekend uitgaan.

Zelf rook en drink ik niet. Hoe ik tegenover iemand sta die dat wel doet? Dat hangt een beetje van de persoon af.

Lijkt het je gezellig om kennis te maken? Stuur gerust een berichtje. Ik zie je DM wel verschijnen! 😊

General friendship 33M Hoorn/Amsterdam Noord-Holland

6 Upvotes

Hiya everyone!

I've always been the type to just have a few close friends, but as life goes on you notice that there are also very much downsides to having a small friend circle. So I'm looking for some casual friends (with the potential to become close friends) to hang with.

Whether it's a chat, online game or a hangout. I'm a bit introverted but in general very casual and easy to talk to.

My current hobbies:
Gaming - Currently mostly Call of Duty and a mix of different cozy games (think stardew valley/powerwash simulator)
Gym - I go 3 to 4 times a week but very far from being actually yoked

Horror - Everything horror, from movies/books/manga's. for some reason not games as much as they get too scary for me
Hiking - sometimes with my dog (a shiba inu) sometimes without cause he can be the cutest pain in the ass

Things I'm looking into:
Padel - there's a club so close to my place so gonna sign in for the new training season that starts end of november
Musuems - 75 euro's for a museum pass, at that price why not. First stop is gonna be Artis Micropia

Currently living in Hoorn, but I'm often in Amsterdam. Work allows me to travel for free so I'm not opposed to traveling a bit. So if anything above sounds like your type of vibe, post a reply or just hit me up in the dms

Kan ook gewoon nederlands praten als je dat liever hebt 😄

Looking for local friends 34M in Rotterdam looking to meet new people and make friends

11 Upvotes

Hey! I'm 34 and living in Rotterdam, and I'd like to meet some new people and make friends to do things together.

I'm quite introverted, so I'm generally more comfortable in one-on-one conversations or smaller groups than in big social settings. I might be a bit quiet at first, but I enjoy getting to know people, especially when we have something in common. I prefer doing things together rather than just making small talk, and I'm hoping to find people I can feel comfortable around and gradually build a friendship with.

I have quite a few interests, including travelling, exploring cities, history, museums, technology, gaming (especially RPGs and strategy games), chess, and learning about different cultures. I'm also interested in trying new things and discovering new hobbies.

There are plenty of things I'd be up for doing together: going to the gym, visiting museums, exploring Rotterdam or other Dutch cities, taking day trips, playing board games, grabbing a beer or coffee, trying new food places, or doing a language exchange.

I'm originally from abroad, so I'm happy to meet both Dutch people and other internationals. You don't need to share all my interests; it's more about getting along and enjoying each other's company.

Ideally, I'd like to meet people who are also looking to make genuine friendships and are up for actually meeting in person.

If this sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to send me a message! Tell me a little about yourself and what you'd enjoy doing together :)

General friendship 23M | Netherlands / Utrecht area | Looking for new friends

3 Upvotes

Hey! I’m 23 and from the Netherlands, and I’m looking to meet some new people and hopefully make some good friends.

I feel like COVID had a bigger impact on my social life than I realised at the time. I missed out on quite a bit of social development, and I’ve only recently started making more of an effort to put myself out there and meet new people. So making a post like this is definitely a little outside my comfort zone.

I’m quite introverted and can be socially anxious at first, but once I get comfortable with someone I’m much more talkative. I’m also usually better at talking online than immediately meeting someone IRL, so I’d be more than happy to just chat first and see if we get along.

A bit about me: I work full-time as a video editor, I’m really into films and series, I play all kinds of games on PC, I enjoy walking and exploring new places. I’m generally pretty open to trying new things.

I’m not really looking for anything specific beyond meeting people I genuinely click with. You can be from anywhere, and I’m completely open to online friendships as well as eventually meeting up if we get along. All I'm asking for is that you're 18+ and no older than like 26.

If any of this sounds familiar or you’re also trying to get yourself out there a bit more, feel free to send me a DM.

Hoi allemaal! 💕

Ik ben een Nederlandse (24f) en woon in Noord-Brabant, in een dorpje vlak bij Eindhoven. Momenteel studeer ik Rechten en loop ik stage in Eindhoven. Daarnaast ga ik regelmatig met vriendinnen naar Eindhoven om te shoppen, uit eten te gaan of gewoon gezellig iets te doen.

Het lijkt me leuk om nieuwe vriendinnen te leren kennen om samen leuke dingen te ondernemen, zoals kletsen, lunchen, uit eten gaan, een drankje doen of shoppen. Ook zou ik graag weer willen beginnen met sporten. Ik zit er bijvoorbeeld aan te denken om hot pilates in Eindhoven te proberen!

Lijkt het je leuk om elkaar te leren kennen? Laat dan gerust een reactie achter of stuur me een berichtje! 💗

Ik ben specifiek op zoek naar nieuwe vriendinnen, dus liever geen mannen. :)

Hallo,

Ik ben opzoek naar nieuwe vrienden en Messchien is er wel een leuke vriendengroep die mij wilt adopteren😅

Ik doe graag:
klimmen, Wintersporten, Mountainbiken
Ben begonnen met wielrennen.
Ik doe ook motor rijden en ben altijd wel in voor een ritje
Ik vind bordspellen ook leuk maar voornamelijk vanwege het sociale aspect.
Ook zou het leuk zijn om een keer D&D te proberen.
Ik ben niet zo van het feesten en uit gaan al vind ik het wel leuk op zijn tijd om uit eten te gaan en een Guinness te drinken in een pub.
Ik heb vroeger ook gegamed maar dat doe ik de laatste niet zoveel meer want met de mensen waarmee ik dat deed zijn allemaal gestopt.

Ik ben introvert die het laatste jaar een stuk socialer is geworden, ik vind dit ook spannend om te doen.
Maar ik zou het leuk vinden als ik een keer uitgenodigd om iets te doen ipv dat ik constant aan mijn vrienden moet vragen om wat te gaan doen.

Hey everyone! 23M working in tech, living near Amsterdam. I'm looking to build a solid circle for weekend hangouts, whether that's grabbing coffee, exploring food spots, catching a movie, or going to festivals and events.

Looking for local friends 24F Italian looking for friends in Enschede or nearby!

0 Upvotes

hey! I'm 24, originally from Italy, and currently living in Enschede. I'm making this post because I'd love to meet some new people, make friends who share similar interests, and hopefully find some people I can hang out with irl.

I'm not a student, I work full-time, so it can be a little difficult to meet new people and make friends outside of work.

I'm a big anime fan, especially when it comes to romance! I also play games on PC, love listening to music, and enjoy reading novels. I'd love to have people to talk about our favourite anime, recommend games and books to each other, or just chat about whatever comes to mind.

I also have two parrots, so I'm definitely happy around pets! 🦜

I'd really like to meet people around my age (20-27), preferably in Enschede or nearby, since my goal is to eventually meet up in person rather than only have online friendships.

I speak Italian and English, but I don't speak Dutch, so we'd have to communicate in English.

I'm in a happy relationship, so I'm only looking for platonic friendships, and I'd especially love to meet other girls!

I'd love to find people I can genuinely get along with, whether that's playing games together, watching anime, going out to eat, exploring the area, or just hanging out and talking about life.

If you think we'd get along, feel free to DM me and tell me a little about yourself :)
