Making friends as an adult is weird.

You either keep hanging out with the same people, hope someone adopts you into their friend group, or tell yourself you’ll “put yourself out there” someday.

Consider this your someday.

Our New Friend Social is happening Saturday, May 30th at . We’ve made it ridiculously easy to meet new people with fun conversation starters, Friend Request cards, collectible pins, and our brand-new Next Hang Kits filled with local experiences, gifts, and perks to help you keep hanging out after the event.

Come solo. Come with a friend. Just come ready to have fun.

🎟 Tickets available now at TryingToAdultRVA.com

Tag the friend who always says “we need more friends.” 👇

What’s in my bag 👀✨

Every attendee at Saturday’s New Friend Social is getting their own Trying to Adult RVA Next Hang Kit filled with Richmond businesses I genuinely love and recommend for your next plans with the new friends you meet 💛

One ticket. Seven more hangs unlocked.

Inside this weekend’s kit:

🍯 Funktastic Meads
One of RVA’s most fun hidden gems. Mead flights, pop up events, and the kind of place where conversations somehow last way longer than planned.

🍷 Jolene Winery
A perfect excuse for a winery day with friends. Gorgeous space, great wine, and honestly one of my favorite spots to slow down and just hang out.

🕯️ Brown House Candle
Because making friends should come with cozy vibes too. Their scent bar is incredible and their workshops make such a fun, creative hang idea.

🔫 Mission Laser
If your friend group needs chaos and competition… this is the move 😂 Such a fun way to turn acquaintances to friends.

☕ Foxtail Coffee
Coffee dates aren’t just for dating. Sometimes your next best friend starts with caffeine and a long conversation.

🐶 Ruff Canine Club
One of the coolest concepts in RVA. Dogs, drinks, socializing, and good vibes all in one place. Even better if your new friend has a dog too.

These aren’t random coupons you’ll forget about. These are real Richmond experiences from local businesses we’ve hosted with and truly love.

Your ticket to one event becomes your next week, month, and friend group plans too 🫶

See y’all Saturday!

We’re making it even easier to walk into a Trying to Adult RVA event and start connecting. 🤝

At our next event, every attendee will receive a new TTA lanyard with space to write:
“Ask me about _____”

Because sometimes all it takes is one shared interest to start a conversation, make a friend, or find your next favorite person to hang out with in Richmond.

🖤 Attendees will receive black lanyards 🌈 Volunteers will be easy to spot in tie dye lanyards

We’re also introducing collectible pins:
✨ Your first event = your official TTA pin
✨ Every event after = a unique signature pin designed just for that experience

The little details matter around here. We’re building experiences that help adult friendships feel more natural, welcoming, and memorable from the moment you walk in.
