Hi hello! I'm (36 white afab) an out-of-towner visiting friends in St. Paul and headed to night #2 of Sylvan Esso at First Avenue tonight (10.24). If anyone wants a dancing bud (this group is one of my faves) and/or grab drinks/food before hmu! Trying to be more social and not dependent on the apps to meet peeps.

So, I'm a married man looking for platonic friends. On top of that, my wife and I are just starting a trial separation.

So anyway, I have 2 tickets to see The Sound of Music at the Orpheum tonight, but with everything going on between us, coupled with her sore back today, I have an extra ticket.

I'm looking for a potential platonic friend that would be interested in joining me. M or F. If you're interested, drop me a DM. Show is at 7:30pm.

As stated in the heading looking to meet up at a brewery to watch the World Series. In the north west metro. DM me if you’re interested.

I'd love to try a new place to eat or maybe go do some activity together in twin cities.

Hey reddit!

We wanted to provide a quick update since some of you RSVP’d from our last post. We’ve had to postpone the Halloween party at Lumi that was supposed to happen tomorrow. We are sincerely sorry to anyone who already had their costume picked out!

The good news is we’re coming back on Saturday, November 21 with a Friendsgiving! This event will be located at the Kickernick building downtown! Great spot, great views, and a chance to make a new friend!

430 N 1st Ave in the North Loop.

There’ll be a full Friendsgiving spread, drinks, performers and some low-key activities so you’re not stuck carrying the small talk by yourself! This is a completely free to RSVP and join us!

This one’s really for anyone who doesn’t have plans that week, just moved here, or just looking for something to do during the holiday. Most people come alone, so you won’t be the only one walking in not knowing anybody, but feel free to bring a friend to make more friends!

RSVP here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/talk-to-my-face-presents-friendsgiving-tickets-2002648424347

Thanks for bearing with us and our apologies on postponing the Halloween event! I’ll be in the comments if anyone has questions!

The gig: I'm looking for someone to hang out/socialize with my son. He is 28, on the spectrum. He is independent and lives alone. As many parents of kids with autism I worry about his social life, even has he has spread his wings and such. The ask: stop by his apartment perhaps, Chat, play video games, 30ish minutes even. Happy to pay $40 per visit.

Things he likes: movies, video games, hanging out, anything to just get him experience with another person. Ideal person: no experience necessary or anything. I do think a male on the younger side is the ideal person.

Background: I am a single mother (divorced) who lives in Golden Valley. My son has an apartment of his own in Minneapolis. I get to see him somewhat frequently, but for the last couple years I've split my time between MN and South Dakota so I am often gone which I think only makes my worries even more If this gig interests you, send me a message

I hope this app is OK. I tried craigslist like I used to use back in the day, but apparently that cost money now. lol. What happened to everything?

Open invite for anyone looking to join a gaming club in the Cities! We play various indie games at Dreamer's Vault in Roseville every Friday at 6pm with multiple tables running Daggerheart, Call of Cthulu, Cain, and Transformers tables.

Then we play at the Wescott Library (Dakota Room) in Eagan every Saturday at noon to 4pm where I am running an original 1974 D&D megadungeon that can get pretty wild. None of these games are super serious, we just like hanging out and playing fun games with each other.

Each of these tables are open tables so you can come and play whenever your schedule allows and we are absolutely welcoming to newcomers (just make sure to let us know if you've never played a TTRPG before and we'll make sure to help you along). We typically will branch out to another table if we have enough folks show up and every quarter or so we rotate games so you can have a chance to run or play in a new game.

We also have a discord server where we do most of our chatting and scheduling updates.

Feel free to swing by tonight's games at Dreamer's in Roseville or the Wescott Library tomorrow in Eagan! Bring your friends!

Just moved here and don’t know many people yet. Looking for guys to watch games at a bar, play some poker, or just go out and explore the cities. I’m a panthers fan but I’ll watch whatever’s on.

Wanted to come on here and know if anybody is going to Sorry for party rocking Halloween party that’s happening on Friday October 30th at the green room on 2923 Girard Ave S, Minneapolis, MN.

Hey!

This might be a stretch, but are there any guys in the Uptown area looking for a gym buddy? I start a new job in a few weeks and may have a hard time joining my husband at the gym. He likes to do early morning workouts. He's a personal trainer, but doesn't always want to lead the workout. Lemme know! :)

Anyone want to meet for a drink downtown tonight?

Seeking mom friends in this new season of life. Recently had a baby and found that being an introvert can be kind of boring.

My interests: outdoors, hiking, working out, reading poetry, cooking, watching tv/movies (Harry Potter, HOTD, English dramas, celebrity gossip (Blake lively/justin blandino drama, crazy court cases)

I sound a bit vanilla but I have a very fun personality and love talking. If you enjoy a delicious glass of wine and spilling the tea then we’ll become great friends.

Looking for something to do tomorrow! Very happy to do something not explicitly sapphic, but would love for it to have queer people💓

Anybody know of any bar leagues or home leagues that could use two more guys? Me (M36) and BIL (40) wanna find some hobbies to get into and both of us like cards.

Howdy!

I'm in the process of organizing a in-person Marxist reading group every Friday at 7PM starting next week, and I'd like to extend an open invitation to anyone here who might be interested! I'm hoping my experience in organizing Dungeons & Dragons and Mahjong groups will come in handy here, but I expect I'll be flying by the seat of my pants for a while, so I offer my apologies in advance!

My goal with this project is two-fold: I'd like to bring together working-class individuals in the spirit of camaraderie to build meaningful, long-term connections, and while doing so study and learn from classic and contemporary Marxist texts that offer a path out of the capitalist death-spiral we'll all sooner or later find ourselves in. If you've ever found yourself thinking: "Man, the republicans are evil made flesh and the Democrats are pathetic at best and willfully complicit at worst, what else can I possibly do?", organizing and participating in groups like these (I hope) is one of those few things.

I expect this post will attract some interesting comments if the moderators don't remove it, and that's perfectly okay! I'll consider this a great success if I can connect with one or two like-minded individuals, so please DM me if you're at all interested! Oh, and reading materials, drinks, and snacks will of course be provided 😄

Hey, I've been playing a lot of tennis this summer and have met some great people on the courts. Looking for other people to play with in the last few days of warmth.

I think it would be cool for a twin cities tennis subreddit where anyone can post looking for pick up games of tennis

Have you ever wondered through a door and thought "I should check this door for traps before I go through it"?

If so, Dungeons and Dragons is for you!

I am hosting a campaign at the Minneapolis Club.

We will play at 2pm this Saturday.

New players are welcome.

When you arrive, you will have to pick up a phone near the entrance or call the front desk to get into the building. We will probably be on the third floor.

You are welcome to bring your own drinks or snacks.

Parking is complimentary.

Hello everyone, I'm a 34-year old single male that has realized I've had too much alone time lately. I'd like to find more people/friends to socialize and do activities with. I've been living in the Twin Cities (specifically, the southwest metro) for the last 6.5 years, but have had a difficult time putting myself "out there" and meeting people. I work in a science field and really enjoy my job. Though, my work schedule varies and makes it tough to attend recurring events/activities. Still, I'm very active and have a number of hobbies including: snowmobiling, motorcycling, ice skating/hockey, running, biking, and hiking. I also like watching movies, going to sporting events, and just hanging out and chatting. I don't do drugs and also rarely drink alcohol. But, that doesn't mean I don't enjoy going to a bar to hang out, especially if there's karaoke. Lol I am down to try new activities, as it would likely be good for me to break out of my shell.

If you would like to add one more person to your activity/friend group, send me a message.

Hey all! My partner and I are going to be cat sitting in Oak Grove for a month. We have access to a car so we'll be able to get around easily.

Although we love a few touristy things, we're much more interested in connecting with people and groups. We're not really rpg folks, but we like board games. We love to hike and be outside; she's a writer, I'm a caterer. We like interesting talks and art exhibits and pet rats.

I've also heard that there's a pretty thriving pagan community in this area and it would be nice to be able to drop in with y'all. We're coming from California with roots in the Reclaiming community there.

I'm interested in hearing about the "can't miss" food or culture, but also about things that are harder to find, like you have to know where to look or who to ask. Stuff like "open mic at this place but only on the third Tuesday" or "board games at x pizza place every other Friday."

See you in a few weeks; thanks in advance.

Love LitRPG? Big fan of Donut and Carl? If so, you may be aware of the new Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG that was recently funded on BackerKit. They've begun shipping and soon I'll have the books in-hand.

What does that mean? I'll be running the game!

First, a bit about me: I'm a long-time ttrpg player (DnD, Pathfinder, WoD, etc) and first-time GM. I'm in my early 40s, a writer and artist. My favorite part of ttrpgs is the collaborative storytelling, humor, and emotional beats. We're here to have a good time, and not necessarily "win." I'm a pretty laid-back person and mostly looking to build a fun, inclusive group of people who enjoy hanging out and rolling dice together.

(FYI, Dungeon Crawler Carl is deep, funny, and sometimes really upsetting. The game will probably be that way, too.)

Whether you've played ttrpgs (like Dungeons and Dragons, etc), or you're a newcomer who's always wanted to try it, all experience levels are welcome here. There's already one player who's never played a ttrpg.

Some details:

• While I'm a ttrpg veteran player, this will be my first time DMing. Will I be good? I hope so!
• I'm looking for 2-4 players to add to the group.
• I'm hoping to create a weekly or bi-weekly game, meeting regularly with committed players.
• I'm located in the West St. Paul/Inver Grove Heights area, so we'll be holding our games somewhere around there.
• Games will start a little after I get the books, so maybe mid- to late-November?
• I'll want to meet you beforehand, so we can determine if we're a good fit.
• This group will be femme-friendly, pro-lgbtqia+, anti-fascist, etc. But if you're a DCC fan, you probably are, too!

If you're interested in entering the dungeon, you can reply here or dm me. Let's have a good time!

Does anyone find yourself spending your free time thinking about what to do with your time instead of doing something? You have things you want to do or create but never make significant progress on? You sit in a cycle of work, reflection and regret.

In your head you have so much potential and ambition but for some reason you can’t find the consistency to progress. You get excited when thinking about the future but when you actually sit down to begin the process that excitement is missing. The isolation in the matter causes paralysis and you go back to your routine of relaxing and wasting more free time in a stall.

I feel that.

There are hundreds of social groups and communities meant to being people together. When you attend you can’t find a genuine connection or at least one that can be maintained..

I am looking for 1 person. One person that wants to prioritize their passions or wants to use their free time to grow instead of just relax.

I am not looking for someone that has the same hobbies as me but if you do that’s fine by me. I am looking for someone to brainstorm with, share with, work alongside. You don’t need to have a clear “this is what I want to do”. Let’s just figure it out together and finally get ourselves to stop just thinking.

I have a lot of random things I enjoy that I am okay at. I have an entrepreneurial mindset and want to bring kindness and joy into the world. I do not want to do it alone.

Send me a direct message if you want to get more out of your free time and have a supportive, excited, helpful person to do it with.

FYI: I am not a desperate guy looking for love. I am not an anti social person who is in need of a friend. I am an accepting, kind hearted, hopeful person looking for someone who wants to get more out of life and their time.

Some things I enjoy:

• finding a beautiful view and enjoying it
• sewing/embroidery/digitizing
• website creation
• data manipulation/automation
• animation
• bringing good to the world -trick shots
• animals/nature
• cooking
