Meet Friends with Coffee/Tea - Canton

About this event

Summertime, and the living is easy! July brings barbecues, fireflies, hanging out by the pool/Beach, and the desire to make new social connections. How do you do that? Join us for a hot or iced beverage and casual conversations with friends! **Find comfort in connection** Join us at Matari Coffee Co. in Canton for a low-pressure social experience designed with shy and socially anxious people in mind. Sometimes the best conversations happen when there's no pressure to have them! **IMPORTANT TO KNOW** Those who make the effort to attend regularly, even for short periods of time, soon find themselves making new friends and activities to do outside of Meetup, if interested. **ALSO** Please support our venue by purchasing something. It can be as little as a coffee or a pastry. We want them to keep welcoming us back. **How it works:** This is a casual hangout where you can simply be yourself. Bring a book, your laptop, a journal, or just come as you are. The relaxed atmosphere gives you space to ease into conversations naturally - no awkward introductions, no pressure to be "on" the whole time. **Shy-friendly promises** No introductions to the whole group required Come and go as you please Participate in conversation only when you feel comfortable Relaxed atmosphere with no performance pressure **Important boundaries** We are not a mental health support group, but we are a safe place to make genuine friendships. We do not tolerate unwelcome romantic advances or persistent asking for dates. This is a friendship-focused space where everyone should feel comfortable and respected. We usually stay until 8:30pm or later, so feel free to join us!
