28+ and Making New Friends

Making friends as an adult can be challenging - plenty of people around, but no great structure for actually meeting them. Let's fix that, in person, the way real connection has always happened.

---

Hi there, friend! I'm Christina 👋 - an experienced Meetup host, entrepreneur, and extroverted introvert on a mission to curate events that make real-life connection actually happen 🙌

The idea is simple: show up, do something fun alongside other people, and let conversation come naturally. Every event gives you an easy excuse to talk to someone new, while you explore the best of what Wilmington has to offer 🎉

*** COMMUNITY RULES: ***
❗️THE GOLDEN RULE 🌟

• We're all old enough to remember when "treat others how you'd like to be treated" was just how people moved through the world. Here, we uphold that as creed. Treat every member the way you'd want to be treated on your first night in a new city.

❗️RESPECT IS NON-NEGOTIABLE ⚖️

• This group welcomes people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and life experiences. Bigotry, hate speech, or discrimination of any kind - whether directed at race, religion, gender, sexuality, age, or any other identity - will result in immediate removal. No warnings, no exceptions.
• You don't have to agree with everyone here. You do have to treat them with basic human dignity.

❗️THIS IS NOT A DATING GROUP 🙅‍♀️

• Yes, friendships sometimes turn into something more — but the core mission here is friendship. Please don't message someone you've never met with romantic intentions. Friends first make the best partners anyway. Don't ruin things by moving too fast or too soon.

❗️RESPECT PRIVACY 🤐

• What's shared in this group stays in this group. Don't screenshot or share members' personal stories or contact information without permission. This one's an immediate removal.

❗️KEEP IT RELEVANT 📍

• Posts should be about Wilmington life, social connection, events, or things the community would genuinely find useful. This isn't a classified ads group.

❗️NO SPAM OR SELF-PROMOTION 🚫

• Don't post your business, your MLM, your event, or your services without admin approval. First offense gets a warning. Second gets you removed.

❗️ADMIN DECISIONS ARE FINAL 👮

• Access to this community is a privilege subject to admin discretion. We reserve the right to remove or ban any member at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that violates our community standards or disrupts the experience of others. By joining, you accept these terms.

🤝 I'll supply the events, you supply the openness. Show up authentically, enjoy the experience, and maybe you find your people along the way.
