A note from Justin

Austin, Texas

Telling people your truth, is incredibly difficult, even for the most secure of us. But that is what life is all about, telling people your truth. Telling them what you are looking for, in them, in the world, in ourselves. I built The Classifieds because I think a lot of good things begin with someone saying one clear thing out loud: This is what I'm looking for... I want to go here, learn this, try that, meet someone for this kind of moment. This is a place for those little openings, our invitations for someone to join us in our search, because who knows someone might be searching for exactly the same. Welcome in.

Favorite coffee shop closed recently, need to vent

Austin, TX

My go-to coffee shop closed recently and I am taking it more personally than I expected. Looking for someone who wants to chat about all the changes they've seen in Austin. The good, the bad, the ugly and who wants to spill the tea. Preferably someone who has been here a while and even remembers when my last favorite coffee shop Flipnotics - RIP the Flip.

Welcome to The Classifieds Ya'll!

Austin, Texas

This place is for small, specific invitations. A walk, a coffee, a museum afternoon, a study buddy, a dinner table, a beginner tennis partner, someone to practice Spanish with, someone to go first. No expectations, just the intention of sharing an experience with something with someone new. Post what you are looking for. Reply when something feels like a real opening. Keep it honest, local, and human. A few house rules for the board: post small, specific invitations. Reply when you mean it. Be real about what you’re looking for. Be Austin. Be weird. Keep messages respectful, take no for an answer, and meet in public first. You get 2 posts every 2 weeks, 1 new reply a day, and 1 anonymous post (can't wait to see these from y'all) at a time. Use them like they matter.

Looking for a real neighborhood friend

Austin, TX

I am trying to build the kind of local friendship where a plan does not need to be impressive to count. Coffee before errands, a walk after work, sitting outside for an hour, going to a small show, or checking out a bookstore all sound good to me. I am not looking for constant availability, just a little consistency and the feeling that both people are actually interested in making friendship happen.
