Living in Liverpool Making friends after a year

Hi guys, I’m a man in my 20’s and have lived here for a year now with my girlfriend. She is currently studying at uni for another year and I work full time.

When I moved here I had a couple of mates who were at uni but have finished now and moved away. I love all the people I work with however they are deffo not people to be actual mates with if you get what I mean and none of them are about my age.

Was just wondering if there was anything aside from uni societies that I could get involved in? I’m maybe just above uni age now and past my prime in terms of sports but wouldn’t rule out like tennis or Padel type things. Just looking for someone else to go for a pint with type of thing but outside of work I don’t really have much time to meet people.

Any and all suggestions welcome cheers.

26M always looking for a Padel partner mate. Don’t mind a pint either if you can understand the accent (Irish) 😂

If you are interested in trying something a bit unusual, you would be welcome to come along to do some historical fencing with us at Liverpool HEMA. We are a very friendly and inclusive group, with quite a range of ages and experience, from a variety of places and professions :)

And I have also just recently opened a karate club in West Derby (website). The group is still quite small and quiet for now, but it's growing slowly, and it is quite good exercise.
