Hello Everyone,
I'm a 29 year old living in the South East of Ireland. I'm a new dad of which my daugther is just around a month old. Like most people, I have lost my friends due to moving on, different changes in life and emmigration and death, in which I never really thought of finding new ones. Myself and my partner were chatting the other day, and discussing marriages etc and thats when I realised I don't have many friends. I'm looking for friends either male, female and/or non-binary, that want to just chat on a day to day basis, or maybe meet up in person do stuff such as walks, hiking, golf or literally anything that sounds fun.
Some of my hobbies are the following:
Sports : I would watch sports all day every day if I could. It doesn't really matter the sport I have probably watched it at some stage. My personal favourites would be football, NFL, GAA and Formula 1.
Music: I listen to all sorts of music and honestly depends on my mood. I don't go as much concerts as I used to, or would like to but still try to go a concert once a year. I'm open to listening to any music.
TV/Films: I would watch a fair bit of TV maybe a hour or two most evenings, and currently I am starting the Diplomat whilst I wait Landman season 2. Depending on my mood I could just binge watch Friends due to easy to watch.
Gaming: I own a PS5 and a gaming laptop. However I don't play anywhere as much as I would like to lately due to being busy with life and other reasons but if the situation arises I have no problem jumping on for a few games. The last game I was playing was Marvel Rivals.
Fitness: Unfortanetly due to life getting away from me, I haven't really been keeping fit in a while but I don't mind going for a walk or whatever else and looking to due a gym in the future maybe the next month or two. I would also like to try other stuff such as paddel or mountain biking.
If you've made it this far feel free to send me a message.
Well done on reaching out, it’s important to have a social support network especially after you’re new arrival. I’ve a 6month old, and my partner is from another country, I empathize with your situation as I know he feels a little isolated without his family and friends near for support. Our lives are the busiest ever, but I encourage him as I do you to find new connections through established interests, you’ll have lots of common ground. I think new dads can get forgotten about and looked upon to provide support but they need support to. Good luck pal 😎
If your daughter is only a month old surely you've enough to be doing to help at home? Babies take up a huge amount of time and you'll need to be looking after your wife too!
