First Coffee & Chat – Meet new Friends Who Get You

Sitting at home on Saturday night and wishing you had a crew for dinner or someone to help you achieve your goal of running an ironman without being on a gay groups instagram

Ever feel like you’re “gay but not into drag, not a sports junkie, still want friends who get me”—and wonder where those friends hang out?

Come join our low-key, no-pressure First Coffee & Chat event for Mates in Motion (NI). We’re a discreet new group of gay men in their 30s and 40s looking for real connections—think running buddies, restaurant companions, or even just people to bounce big ideas off. No cameras, no group selfies—your privacy matters.

• Where: Cafe Nero - Ormeau Avenue, (Opposite the Firestation)
• When: Sunday 26th January 2025 - 2pm
• Look out for the game of connect 4 on the table :)

### What to Expect

• Easygoing Introductions: Meet a few people who share your interests, from fitness to travel to good books.
• Brainstorm Future Events: Could be dinner nights, weekend hikes, or maybe even an Ironman training plan—whatever the group wants.
• Respect for Privacy: Not everyone’s out at work or keen on a public online presence. We get it and we respect that.

### Who Should Come?

• Gay men in their 30s & 40s who prefer a low-key, off-the-radar social scene.
• Anyone who’s tired of the usual “scene” and just wants genuine friends to try new things with.
• People who resonate with “I’m gay but not a drag fan, not a sports junkie, and I need a tribe that understands that!”

Ready to find your new tribe without trading your privacy for social media posts and IDE
Grab a coffee (or tea) and connect with others who simply want a real conversation and real friendship. We’d love to meet you!
