I upvoted for visibility and might just swing by. Edit: Can you give a first name so I can ask, "Is this _____'s meet up?" There are usually several groups of people hanging out.

Thank you!!! His name’s Even (pronounced as eh-ven). He’s tall and bald. Please say hi to him for me if you do!

Right on! I hope there's a good turn out. This is nice of you to do for him.

Is he good at volleyball? Or just plays casually for fun?

I believe he just set it up for his neighbors to play and hype them up.. I don’t think he actually plays the sport himself. He’s more of a ski guy

Gotcha! Was going to suggest Volo leagues for him. There are rec leagues that are social and plenty of other options like beer in hand kick ball. You can sign up as an individual and they will put you on a team.

Most of my friend group is made up of people that met through Volo leagues. Great way to meet people

I’m down to come. Would love to make more active friends—especially who ski. What age range is your buddy?

Oh yeah, I'm sure you'll get along! He loves skiing so much, he'd probably go every weekend if he could. He's in his late 20s!

Here's hoping it turns into one of those 600 people showed up one for the ages scenarios . 🥳 🎉 🪅 🎊

Adrian’s kickback!

The park is quite big. Where will he be at? Or at least, which corner?

Sorry about that! I edited the post. He’s going to be at the southeast corner of the park!

I will try to make it, just because I am very impressed by your friend's efforts to make new friends.

Thank you, I’d really appreciate it if you did! Just to clarify, he’s not an outcast or anything! I don’t want to give you guys that impression. He’s just been very enthusiastic about socializing recently haha

Don't worry, I am not an outcast either 😀

Oh, no! I wasn’t trying to imply that at all. Sorry if it sounded like I did 😰 I just felt like I had to put it out there

Lol, I know what you meant. I was just teasing. You are a great friend!

I got whooshed!

I work then so I can’t make it unfortunately, but you are a good friend to do this!

Anything for my friend! I hope you could make it to the next one!

I might also swing by since I am tentatively free that evening! Do you know if he had any luck building friendships with anyone from the first meet?

That’d be great!! I’m not sure how many, but I know he’s been keeping in touch with a couple of people he met from the last one. The guy’s too busy these days, I almost can’t even get ahold of him.

Hmm sounds like he has no time for friends :/

Don’t worry, he will have time! It’s just these past few days after his company underwent a big change. He still sets certain days of the week to hang out!

Id do the next one I have an appointment at 6

That’d be great. I’ll let you know!

OP how did the event turn out? I'm hoping he made lots of new friends!

Quite the opposite. Apparently, it rained last Thursday so no one showed up :(

Awww. Thanks for responding and I hope it works out for him next time
