What we’re about

Making friends as an adult can feel... weird. You show up, smile politely, wonder where to stand, and hope someone else talks first. We get it. That's exactly why this group exists.

This is a safe and welcoming space for anyone in their 30s and 40s to feel seen, known, and valued. Our goal is simple: to turn awkward interactions into intentional friendships. You don't need to be outgoing or "good at meeting new people." You just have to show up!

You must be in your 30s and 40s to be a member of this group.
3 No-Shows for events with an attendance cap will result in removal from the group. We understand things come up, but please just update your RSVP.
Please be kind and respectful to all. Inappropriate personal conduct will result in a permanent ban from the group.

Welcome to Awkward at First. Friends Eventually.
