Real-world friendship, for people over 40

Making friends after 40 is hard. We get a few of you to the same place.

Coffee or walk — you pick. We give you a small group of strangers over 40, a place to meet and a time to be there.

Sign upAbout two minutes. No subscriptions.

Every group is 40 or over.

No profiles to browse. No swiping. You choose a date and a theme; we put the group together.

Not “mostly”. Not “usually”. We check ages at signup and never widen a group just to fill a place.

How it works

  1. Step 1. Tell us about you.

    A few questions, about two minutes. It’s how we put you with people you’ll actually enjoy.

  2. Step 2. Pick a date.

    Each open date is a coffee, a dinner or a walk. You pick one, and a person puts your group together by hand.

  3. Step 3. Turn up, and take it from there.

    Where to meet is emailed a few hours before, and the group chat opens at the same moment. No route from us, no pace, no plan — that part is yours.

Choose how you want to meet

A theme is what your group turned up for, not a plan we handed you.

  • A small group of adults over 40 talking over coffee.

    Coffee

    A table and nobody you have met before. Nothing to be fit for, nowhere to get to.

  • A small group of adults over 40 walking together through a neighborhood.

    Walk

    People who felt like walking. Where you go and how far is yours to settle on the day.

Frequently asked questions

“How fit do I need to be?”

There is no route and no pace, so there is nothing to keep up with. A group that decides to walk and talk instead has not done it wrong.

“So who decides what we actually do?”

Your group, standing there, on the day. We choose the people, the meeting point and the time — that is genuinely all of it.

“What if we can’t agree on anything?”

You have all chosen the same thing, so it is a shorter conversation than it sounds. The chat opens before you meet, and most of it gets settled there.

“I don’t know anyone.”

Nobody does. That’s the entire point, and everyone else is in exactly the same position.

“Is this a dating thing?”

No. Meet40 is for friendship. We never match on romance, and we never will.

The next one is on Saturday, September 26.

$5 holds your place. Everyone there is 40 or over.
