Meet new friends groups near Fort Lauderdale, FL

I have recently moved to Boca Raton and have found it seemly impossible for any of these groups/apps to work for people looking to make friends in their young to mid 20s and have a group that aligns with that age range. Idea of this group is to make friendships with people that are looking to be successful but also like to go out on the weekends to bars/clubs. Basically what it was like in your friend group at home/school before relocating/leaving college.

We're all about socializing, outings, listening to local DJs, live music & more in the area. Come say hi & make new friends at one of the events. If you have any questions feel free to post here or reach out to me on instagram [https://www.instagram.com/why_ron/](https://www.instagram.com/why_ron/) The suggested donation is $2 (cash, Zelle, Venmo, or click on 'Donate now') to keep these events going

About 50% of adult men don't have friends. Many of us (men) have friends because of our girlfriends or wives. This group is for adult men who are looking for friends or at least "buddies" to hang out with. We'll meet up at cool places for men, sports events, cigar bars, car shows, and whatever "manly" events and places our members can think of. Let's "man-up" and upgrade our social circles.

We are a group of age 60 plus people who are interested in finding Love and making new Friends and Acquaintances. Gather with other locals who would like to meet for dating, finding others with similar interests, networking, or just hanging out! We try to stay in the south Broward area.

**This group is for those who love to create and craft.** Any one from novice to expert is welcome! We want this to be a fun, positive and social experience for all! Primarily a paper crafting/scrapbooking group but all kinds of crafters are welcome. We will meet in-person when safe and possible with social distancing and via Zoom when not. In addition to just plain meetups to craft and chat (no cost), there will be classes offered in card making, paper craft home décor and scrapbooking for those just starting out. The fees for classes will vary but will always be reasonable. When, where and how often the social groups will meet will be up to the members. Classes will be scheduled by the organizers. If you have a craft to share, we'd love to hear about it! There will be no dues charged to join this group but regular participation will be appreciated, even if it's just in discussion or to share your ideas for meet ups.
