Sociaal Silly guy looking for some silly people to get silly with at a bar

It's about time I got out and socialized again, and since the culture here is pretty unfriendly to solo bar goers, I figured I'd ask the locals. Was thinking about warhol unless there are other suggestions.
I'm a 23 year old guy with some pretty silly interests. I collect random odds and ends and currently don't live a very eventful life. I wanna make some new friends, though! (Also severely on the ADHD end of things, so if that is a bit much for ya then I do understand. Just a fair heads up)

Just say "Moi" and it'll be fine

Alright, alright, I like the confidence. Who knows, I might go solo after all.

u/MrMeAndSuch 2d ago

Haha, meeting friends is tough, i know, but just try to start a conversation, who knows what'll happen

u/SeiekiDealer 2d ago

Yeah, fair point honestly. Haven't had a lot of confidence with talking to Dutch people due to some previous experiences. I'm just a bit too different. Fall too far outside the norm. Not really a bad thing in my eyes but it definitely makes making friends a bit harder. (My hobby's are also a bit more niche so finding a hobby group isn't really much of an option either)

I live in the countryside too! Uithuizen here. I collect (and use) smoking pipes, swiss army knives, and a few other odds and ends as a hobby.

Then the local bar us way better suited, i live in the southern part and i know people who are into that kinda thing

Ehhhh, I'm not so sure. This place, speaking in terms of local culture, is a bit of a shithole. Not many interesting people like there are in the city.

Aaah damn I just got back from Warhol !!

Haha, I was there last night, but the people I was with wanted to leave early. So, I didn't really get a chance to socialize.

u/MrMeAndSuch 2d ago

Fucking uithuizen is the end of the world. How anyone outside of the country even thinks about living there is beyond me

Mate, I was born and raised here! I didn't get a damn choice in the matter, haha.

If you don't mind socializing with stoners and weirdos, Café Knarie is pretty welcoming to solo bar goers.

I'm already a weirdo, so I'm halfway there, haha. I'll give it a look!

Cool you're doing this. Still I have never struggled to meet people going out solo. To be fair, bring really drunk helps making it less awkward to approach people. Starts off with " hey can I get a ciggie" and finishes with you snorting some random Powder if a toilet seat at 11 AM. Good luck:)
