About us

🌿Good company, new adventures, and friendships that grow naturally.

Let's face it, making new friends as adults isn't always easy. Between work, responsibilities, and the occasional temptation to spend an entire weekend on the couch, our social lives could sometimes use a little love.

We're Dixie and Eric, a Tampa couple in our early 40s hoping to connect with other down-to-earth, kindhearted people who enjoy good conversation, a little adventure, and plenty of laughs. Whether you're part of a couple or flying solo, new to Tampa Bay or have lived here forever, we'd love to meet you!

We're especially drawn to people who appreciate nature, animals, different cultures, and our beautiful planet. Dixie is vegan and Eric is vegetarian, and while we'd love to meet fellow plant-based folks, you certainly don't have to be vegan or vegetarian to hang out with us. Just be kind, open-minded, and respectful of others.

So, what are we getting ourselves into?

Whatever sounds fun! Think farmers markets, festivals, plant-based eats, live music, comedy shows, nature walks, botanical gardens, game nights, coffee dates, and the occasional spontaneous adventure. Some outings might be lively, others might be as simple as sitting around a table sharing stories and laughing over good food.

We're hoping to connect with adults mostly in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who are interested in making genuine friendships, not collecting acquaintances.

No pressure to be the life of the party, no need to have everything in common, and definitely no awkward team-building exercises. Just good people getting together, trying new things, and seeing where the friendships take us.

After all, even the best friendships have to start somewhere.

Come as you are. Let's see what grows! 🌱
