How it works
new friends.
Trying to Adult RVA is built for real connection. Every New Friend Social is designed to help you meet people you actually click with, whether you're new to Richmond, growing your circle, or tired of spending weekends alone.
new experiences.
Every New Friend Social follows the same easy format, but we like to keep it interesting. Each event brings its own fun extras layered in, so there's always a little something new to look forward to and an easier way to strike up a conversation.
More fun.
Trying to Adult RVA takes the pressure out of making friends and replaces it with genuine laughs and good energy. Plus the fun doesn't stop when the night ends, every event comes with tools to help new connections turn into real, lasting friendships.
DESIGNED FOR CONNECTION
Next Hang Kit
The friendship doesn't get to end when the event does. Every attendee leaves with a kit full of local offers and ready-made hangout ideas, so the group chat has an actual reason to say "let's do this" instead of good intentions that fade.
Signature Pins
Every event has its own collectible pin added to your lanyard, so your pin collection literally shows how many friends and memories you've made. It's an instant "oh what's that from" moment that turns strangers into conversation.
Friend Request Cards
A low-pressure way to make the connection official before you leave. Instead of the night ending with "we should hang out sometime" and nothing ever happening, you hand someone a card so you leave with a real next step, not just a nice memory.
Name tags
Ours aren't sticky-note afterthoughts. Each one comes with a built-in conversation starter right on the tag, so you're never standing there wondering how to start talking to a stranger.
