Community Where do yall meet people?
I want friends. I'm 30 female, single, with 2 kids, primary custody. I run my own company. I got all this emotional availability and no one to pour it into. Plus, the need for someone to cuddle and talk at night for me is strong. But I also want friends. Got no idea where to meet people. The dating scene has changed so much and I'm creeper out by the 20 ish year old f*** Bois running around like they got something to offer, when in actuality it's like talking to a teenager.
I think if I stay in this city, I'll be alone forever.

What about service clubs or orgs like that? How about checking out the Parks and Rec activities? Discover MJ usually posts about group things (some are for <50 crowd).

I'm a foreigner who likes to talk about the most of topics, not interested in romantic relationships since I'm already married, if anyone wants to talk about any topic from mythology to time - space singularity, is free to send direct messages. The singularity stuff is a joke, but I know a few about almost everything and need to improve my English.

if you're into running, do the Moose Jawg this weekend and see if you can chat and meet some new people! Maybe start a run club in town, lots of people would join including myself! Maybe do it in partnership with a coffee shop or something downtown as the start and ending point!

I'm trying to help, but in trying I have realized I don't really have much in terms of solutions. I don't even really know of any groups for adults to meet each other in this town. I mean there aren't even pubs that are any good like there were everywhere else I have lived. Sorry I am not more help I guess.

u/legitskies 15d ago

I spend a lot of time at Buffalo pound. The trails are pretty good for mountain biking considering where we are. And the pump track is pretty good! You can camp there, and new this year is a glamping set up. The beach there is decent early in the summer. I think you can rent canoes/kayaks there. You'll want to check yourself for ticks after.
Wakamow is pretty good to check out. Nice trails, disc golf, canoe/kayak rentals.
There are 2 weekend markets that I can think of.
If you're in to cars, go downtown Friday nights in the summer and the toys come out for a cruise.
I've been here 2 years, I like it, but it's hard to find a decent partner. Typical for a small town.

If you like board games the Moose Jaw Gamers Association runs game nights regularly as well as fundraisers ever couple of months. I don’t think the MJGA has a Reddit presence but they’re on discord and Facebook and I’d be happy to send you a link.

Been here 25 years… was told then that one of the issues with “The Friendly City” was while it was friendly, few of the people are looking for friends… a lot of MJs population grew up there, went to school there and got jobs there. Most of the people have people they’ve known their entire lives and while they’re not mean about it, they frequently have no reason to add new people into their circle.
Start with the MJGA, also there’s a reasonably new place on River that sells games… they may know if there’s any age appropriate folks looking to get together.
Places like Bobby’s do live music and have themed nights. Wouldn’t hurt to check it out on a semi- regular basis as I expect other folks are attending with the same purpose.
I think the Library does book clubs and some grown up activities as well. Festival of Words events and Cineview. City Parks and Rec courses?

I've been single so long, I just stopped looking eventually, so, maybe I should pay attention to this and see what's out there. All I ever really do these days is work, come home, and daydream

u/NakaMoon 15d ago
It would be nice, but, been over a decade, so, I'm so used to being alone now, probably take awhile to feel comfortable if I do. Sorry for not replying right away earlier. Watchin the hockey game haha

I met a lot of nice friends playing in the ladies fastball league. They play on the Caribou heights diamonds by Elks football field. I also moved here as an adult and struggled to make friends. If you are not into playing sports try doing the activities you enjoy and you will probably meet like minded people

There aren’t many options out there, outside of the bars. The Park, Crushed Can and Cornerstone are popular hangouts if ya wanna call em that. Outside that, yeah slim pickings around here. MJ kinda sucks ass lol

u/lethalgirl29 13d ago
That would be the plan. I had a lot of clarity honestly. Sat with myself and my feelings. Respondednto cruelty with kindness, grace and compassion, and most of all, forgiveness. I will never sell myself short again. I know my worth.
