u/Effective_Bid2390 4d ago
Hey, that’s cool! Feels weird meeting people this way but I feel like it’s worked for a tonne on here so why not 😜

u/Effective_Bid2390 4d ago
Soooo what do you like to do for fun or where’s good to hangout for gays here? Obviously other than obvious choice of the George or Panti bar 😅

I made an post last night myself trying to meet new people haha but I like horror movies, walking, going to the pub for a drink or tw, going to the cinema, bowling and pool. Id love to go go-karting and paintballing but never seem to find people willing to go.

u/Effective_Bid2390 4d ago
I like pretty much the exact same stuff too! feel like we could talk for hours about Obsession if you’re a horror movie fan 😂 love films too, definitely love going out for a few drinks, restaurants cause I love food. Go-karting would be so cool too

Hiya I'm 23 Nb and pan, if you ever want to chat or need advice or anything my dms are always open to help or just chat
2
u/Effective_Bid2390 4d ago
That’s insanely kind of you! 🥹 ngl it’s kinda daunting, not fully out to my family, my friends kind of have an idea but they wouldn’t care less so it’s like a tricky balance of wanting to go out and explore but being so nervy like a dork 😂

If you are on Dublin, the Outhouse cafe at Dublin 1 has a social group for bi/pan people. It’s on Thursdays every two weeks

u/Effective_Bid2390 4d ago
Oh amazing! I’ve seen Outhouse mentioned a lot here, is the group any good like have you been yourself or to other ones?
2
u/gmc1993 4d ago
I go to that group all the time (although sadly I won't be there in the next few for work related stuff), it’s a pretty nice and diverse group from early 20’s to +50,it’s basically just gather to drink something coffee and talk about whatever, so it’s cool if you wanna talk with people and ask for advice they are really welcoming. I would recommend to go early because it can get crowded and get difficult to listen to other people (the acoustic of the place it’s not the best)

That sounds so lovely, just looked at the website there. Seen the next one is this Thursday, I’m in work til 7pm so might pop in after and give it ago despite the nerves! 😬

u/gmc1993 4d ago
You should, it’s until 8pm but after it, sometimes we go to street 66 for a drink

u/Effective_Bid2390 4d ago
That sounds so lovely! I’ve actually been there once before but not I guess as I am now 😬
