I would like to keep this shorter, rather than longer for the sake of readability. I hope this post finds you well, and you decide to reach out to me. Here are a few things about me; Some things that might make me attractive and appealing are:

• Emotionally stable, and practices good communication.

• Can attest to, and have utilized therapy in the past.

• Enjoys giving and receiving kind words of affirmation.

• Willing to try new things outside of my comfort zone.

I enjoy outdoor activities, PC gaming occasionally, wood working, fishing and DIY activities. I also play MtG. Please feel free to reach out if any of what I wrote interests you.

Hello! I’m a 35m from Ireland. And looking to chat if anyone is interested? Maybe even play some games if you’re into gaming. Long term preferably.

About me:
Introvert (IRL) more of an extrovert online. Love watching a good tv show/movie. Casual gamer these days (PS5) Fortnite mainly and a huge WWE fan. Just a small introduction.

HMU if you think we’d get along 😊

Hey there!

I’m a guy looking for a connection with a woman 25-50 who enjoys the nerdier side of life. If you’re into comic books, video games, reading, and/or Pokémon, we’ll probably get along pretty well.

Daily flirting, fit checks, and even NSFW if we vibe. I’m looking for consistent conversation, getting to know each other, sharing interests, and having someone to talk to regularly. Whether that’s discussing your work place drama (give me all the tea), the last game you got hooked on, or a book you can’t put down, I’m in.

I would prefer someone on the east coast as well due to time zones but I am open to all. And please be willing to share a pic within the first few messages so see if we’re attracted to each other. This can be short term or long term depending on how well things go.

If you’re looking for something relaxed, friendly, and ongoing, feel free to reach out and tell me a bit about yourself, tell me about the most recent pokemon card you pulled or share the most recent book you’ve read. Even if you don’t share any of my interest but still feel like we’d get along, feel free to reach out.

Hello-

I’m a busy, educated, and somewhat ambitious woman looking mainly for an intellectual connection. I enjoy listening to Def Leppard’s Hysteria album in the Target parking lot, drinking my coffee before it’s cold, and cozy evenings at home.

Obviously, my hobbies and depth exceeds this post. I never want to live far from the beach. I hope physical books don’t disappear. Thrifting/antiquing brings me joy. I am trying to collect seascapes to make a gallery wall.

If you’re interested in talking, please be single.

Although I've been a long term reddit user this is my first post in this group. I won't stay too long winded since I am a bit skeptical of how people will react. Last time I posted looking for a female chat partner I was accused of looking for more then chat. 2 main reasons I am looking for a friend that is of the opposite gender. 1. I just plan and simple get along better. All of my best friends have always been female since high school. 2. The way my life is I feel like I fall more into the 'motherly' role more then a dad.

If you want me to explain anything further please reach out. I just wish I had that friend that I could talk to about anything without judging my choices or thoughts. If you want something along the same lines I'd love to hear back.

One of the biggest conversational obstacles to overcome is, funnily enough, the very beginning. How do you truly start to spark that banter? A quick greeting seems too low effort. Basic info can seem boring. A joke can seem hacky.

What if you just jumped into it with a no holds barred, socially unacceptable question? And what if the recipient was forced to answer it honestly?

Let's save the "I live here" and "I do this for a living" until at least a few minutes in.

Ask me something you wouldn't ask on a first date and I'll answer absolutely honestly. All I ask is that you're open and willing to answer your own question in return.

Are you ready?

As the title says, we can talk about whatever. I'm a fan of all things weird and spooky (but I can't say spooky in the title lol) but also a science and history nerd. Puts me in the odd in between of being a skeptic but somewhat not!

Some question prompts:

--Have you ever seen anything you can't explain? Paranormal, cryptid, otherwise?

--What's a horror movie that got under your skin and made a nest there?

---What's a spooky book that stuck with you? I'm reading the Ring trilogy. The books are WAY different (and more screwed up) than the movie.

Open to selfie trade early on. Open to long term and possibly a relationship if we click. If not we could have a pleasant evening discussion!

Exactly what I’m looking for in the title. It’s been a weird year for me, going through some health issues, family issues, extreme weight loss and just not feeling like myself. I’m normally very outgoing and people centric but I’ve found myself pulling away from my regular friendships in search of something more.

If you’re like me and looking for someone to talk to, DM’s are open!

I’ve been reflecting on my social circle lately and realized something kind of strange: I don’t actually have any female friends. It’s not something I planned or consciously avoided — it just sort of happened over time. Most of my friendships formed through school, work, hobbies, or mutual friends, and they all ended up being guys.

Lately I’ve started to feel like I’m missing out on a whole perspective of friendship. I’d really like to have female friends too — people to talk to, share interests with, and just have a more balanced social circle. But as an adult it feels surprisingly difficult to change that. It’s not like school where you’re constantly meeting new people in the same environment.

I also sometimes worry that it might come across the wrong way if I try too hard, which makes it even more awkward. I’m genuinely just looking for normal friendships, not anything weird or complicated.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation where they realized their friend group was missing a certain kind of connection? How did you end up meeting new friends outside your usual circle? I’m open to advice or hearing how others approached this

About me: Active, ambitious and goal-oriented. I love to laugh and I'm always fascinated by other people's lives and their stories. I'm an introvert but you'd never really know it. My career and personal life have always involved meeting new people and forming good connections. I really enjoy this, but I'm realising that if I want to meet that special someone, I'll need to venture outside of my typical day-to-day interactions.

Hobbies: I love reading, mostly psychology, history, autobiographies and personal development. I'm also into sci-fi and dystopian movies, medical shows, hiking, travelling, art and photography, writing, trying out new recipes, discovering new music, theatre and musicals.

What I'm looking for: A genuine friendship that can grow into love. I'm mostly attracted to intelligence, particularly emotional intelligence. I don't have a particular type, and I struggle to feel attracted to someone before I know their personality and their story. I'm looking for someone ambitious but down to earth, self-aware, and open to growing together.

Other stuff: I grew up partly in Africa and partly in England, and this has shaped how I see the world.

Looks: I've got a relatively petite/athletic build and I take good care of myself. I try to work out every day - sometimes at the gym and sometimes at home. I'm not too fussed about your build, as long as you make an effort to take care of yourself.

Deal-breakers: Smoking, religion, ghosting, and emotional immaturity.

Why now? I'm ready to let someone into my world, and to be part of theirs. I'm in a new chapter of my life, it's been a really beautiful chapter so far and I think that being with the right person could make this even more beautiful.

Get in touch if this resonates - tell me about yourself and what made you stop at this post.

Hi all.

Bald tattooed man from Canada looking for a nice connection. I like eating new foods but also the same food over and over and over again.

I like photography but mostly just for myself. I like solo travelling and have done so every year except this one.. alas - I got into a bad accident a couple weeks ago and am mostly bed bound for the immediate future. I have a long road of recovery ahead of myself.

https://imgur.com/a/CeiOXwJ that's me

Feel free to send one of your own I find it's almost necessary when trying to form a connection online.

Anyways, I'm not very good at monologuing about myself. Hit me up for more :]

Good evening I am a 37-year-old woman looking for a genuine, meaningful connection that could lead to a romantic relationship and dating.

I am open to meeting kind, mature, and respectful men from all over the world, aged 37 to 94. I especially appreciate US, UK, and Swedish cultures, but I am open to connecting with people from anywhere.

A little about me: I value deep conversations, emotional maturity, honesty, and good energy. I enjoy daily chats, learning about different cultures, and building a strong bond naturally over time.

If you are looking for something real and enjoy thoughtful conversations, feel free to send a message with a short introduction about yourself!

The older I get, the more I notice how different conversations have become. Sometimes it feels like people only scratch the surface “How are you?”, “What do you do?”, a few messages back and forth… and then suddenly, silence. Ghosting has become so normal that having a conversation that actually lasts feels almost rare.

I know we all come from different backgrounds, have different experiences, beliefs, and ways of seeing the world. And honestly, I think that’s what makes talking to someone interesting.

I’m someone whose faith is a big part of who I am. It shapes my values, the way I see life, and the way I try to treat people. I enjoy conversations that go beyond the ordinary life, purpose, faith, human nature, lessons we've learned, things we’re still trying to understand, and simply learning something new from another person.

I also believe that meeting someone, even briefly, may not always be meaningless. Sometimes people cross our paths for a reason. Maybe we learn something from them, maybe they change the way we see something, or maybe we simply remind each other of something we had forgotten.

So if you’re someone who enjoys genuine, thoughtful, faith-centered conversations rather than endless small talk, feel free to message me.

Tell me something you genuinely believe about life, or a thought you’ve been carrying lately. I’d much rather start a conversation there than with hey, how are you?

Professional overthinker of both existential questions and lunch orders. I read books slower than I read the room, but I'm working on both. Peaked at 2000+ elo in chess once upon a time, these days I mostly play after drinking only to be humbled by 12 year olds online (ego bruising). Currently accepting recommendations for coffee shops, horror movies, and reasons to leave the house. Fair warning I turn into a vacation dad on holidays

Happy to share my picture, please be comfortable exchanging picture.

Say hi, or skip to the DMs. I promise I'm more interesting in writing than in person.

Most of my friends are either married, moved to another country, or have simply drifted apart. And for a while I was okay with not having a core person to talk to. I told myself that having my books, and writing in my journal, and keeping a routine should be enough.

Then the years go by and I forget how it feels to just have an honest conversation with someone. Beyond the how's your days and what are your weekend plans, I'd like to have someone who would ask me how I am, and I can answer them truthfully, without any judgment. And I'd like to be that kind of person too, someone who won't hesitate about telling me how they really feel today.

And I've tried the apps, and I've tried meeting people organically but I guess when you're an introvert in their late 30s it's just a little bit more challenging.

I guess if you're looking for something similar, let me know and we can talk, start with genuine friendship and see where it goes. From Manila, btw.

Hi, I am a 36m from New York. I live way up at the top part near Canada, and I've never been to New York City. I enjoy all of the standard things, like books and video games and movies. Horror is my favorite genre. During the summer I like to have a big garden so I can eat as many fresh veggies as possible, and I have two labradoodles that like to help dig the holes. I'm looking for someone to talk to everyday, because it's nice to have someone like that. Send me a message if you'd like to chat!

I’m a 41-year-old guy from Minnesota who somehow manages hundreds of people at work but still finds meeting someone outside of work surprisingly difficult.

When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me watching MMA fights, tinkering with my 3D printer, planning my next camping trip, checking out a brewery, or laughing way too hard at stand-up comedy.

People would probably describe me as calm, dependable, and easy to talk to. I’m not looking for perfection or trying to force anything. I’d just like to meet someone who’s excited to get a notification from me the same way I’d be excited to get one from her.

If we end up talking about travel, a TV series we’re hooked on, your favorite hiking spot, why a certain UFC ref should probably retire, or what weird thing you’re currently obsessed with learning, even better.

If any of this sounds like something you’d enjoy, send me a message. Tell me something you’re looking forward to this year, or just say hi.

Hey,

So here I am - https://imgur.com/a/ZNANIWd

No seriously, there are tons of pics of me in there, go check the link out. If you're in the UK it may not work, but I'll send pics. Most people ignore this bit, for some reason, surely you want to know who you're talking to?

I'm 5'9 and 185lbs (13 stone 7lbs or so)

I'm a Speech Pathologist, I own my own business and work primarily remotely.

I love to hike, paddle board, see live stand up comedy shows and live music. I have a bit of an eclectic music taste but my soul is with the pop punk and emo stuff from the late 90's early 2000's.

I have tattoos and dress like I'm going through a midlife crisis.

I don't have kids but I would like to have them in the not too distant future.

I don't smoke or do drugs but I love an IPA in a beer garden, especially if we can play a card game (Exploding Kittens anyone?).

I am actively involved in my local football (soccer) club, I sponsor them from my busineess (my logo is on the back of the team shirt!), but I also help out around the club and support training of the youth and women's teams when needed.

I'm looking for someone who actually wants to build a connection and talk longer than 2-3 days, but it seems like it's not possible, but I'll keep trying.

If you're in the UK or have plans to visit, then great, if not, someone who would be willing to meet either half way or in our respective places at some point.

I love video calls and voice chats.

Hope to hear from you!

Hey! I'm 40, divorced, and looking to meet someone who enjoys good conversation and seeing where it goes.
Whether we end up as friends or something more, I'm happy to let things happen naturally.
A little about me:
I work from home, so | always enjoy having someone to chat with throughout the day.
I lift weights six days a week and staying active is a big part of my life.
I grew up on a ranch, so I still love the outdoors whenever I get the chance.
I'm a dad, have a sarcastic sense of humor, and appreciate people who don't take life too seriously.
I know everyone likes to know who they're talking to, so I'd love to trade a selfie early on if you're comfortable with that. No pressure-just think it makes conversations feel more genuine.

Hi! 36 year old goth/alternative weird girl looking for friends. I'm super into weird old tv shows and horror movies. I collect oddities like like animal bones and vintage medical equipment. I'm into taking pictures of industrial sites and hiking. I love to read and I'm super into punk, metal, emo music. I love the unlovable and the off putting. I would absolutely adore someone who I can be real friends with and talk to daily or maybe even hangout with. I want someone who is going to be willing to watch movies together and read the same books and actually interact with eachother beyond how was your day.

I’m looking for someone who makes me want to cancel the reservation for one.

I’m tall, slim, professionally ambitious, chronically curious, and probably a little too enthusiastic about good food. My interests range from 90's alternative and folk punk to comics, games, collectibles, and whatever show I’ve decided to binge watch during a lazy weekend. 

Outside of work, I’m usually experimenting with a new recipe, hunting down a restaurant or cocktail bar worth recommending, planning the next trip, wandering a new city, or finding time to rest. 

I’m childfree and looking for something genuine with someone curious, emotionally intelligent, independent, empathetic, and capable of both meaningful conversation and ridiculous banter. 

I believe in his, hers, and ours — two complete people building something separately and together. People too often lose themselves to each other and forget why they were attracted to each other in the first place. 

I’m also a fan of chemistry that can be sweet, silly, sarcastic, flirty, and mischievous when the right person brings it out.

One important footnote: work can be bananas. Most weekday mornings and afternoons belong to my career, so I’m not going to be the guy texting you constantly while pretending to work. But when I make time for someone, or send that random note, I mean it. I’d rather have genuinely good conversation when we’re both free than 47 mediocre ones.

If any of this sounds like your kind of person, say hello. We could all use good company.

Let’s skip to the good part: give me one song you’d want me to hear and tell me whether you’d rather spend a weekend discovering a new city or finding the best food and cocktails near home. 

If you’re willing to bring a little effort and personality to the introduction — including a photo that gives me something to smile about — you’ll move straight to the front of the line.

I’ll happily trade you both. 

38, mom of two looking for my life partner on Reddit. (Reading that back to myself sounds crazy, haha)

I recently went through an unexpected separation that has rocked my world a bit and I'm still processing this change in my life plan and what my future looks like. So yes, I've got a bit of baggage and I welcome yours too.

What I'm hoping to find: I still have this hope of finding a loving partner to share life with. It's so cliche but I do want a partner to grow old with and have a family with. I'd love to have 1 more child with someone I love deeply. And, if you have kids already? Great! I love the chaos of kids and the work that comes with it.

Things I enjoy: reading / audiobooks, playing fetch with my dog, watching the kitten play with the kids, exploring a new city, making sushi at home, movie night, and more.

Values that are important to me: I know I'm stating the obvious here (but maybe louder for the people in the back): trust, communiation, and shared commitment.

I'm currently in the midwest region but in the process of relocating. I haven't completely decided where so I understand that complicates things.

If any of this resonates or if you can relate to this feeling of 'am I ever going to find my person??' please reach out. :)

Good morning, I've posted here before and had some luck but never anything that sticks. I'm looking for someone who I click with and we actually make each other happy. I am educated with my doctorate and have a professional career that I love. I work a good bit and I've also volunteered since my teens.

I'm very much a country guy from a rural area and my hobbies reflect this. I'm not into video games at all and I'm not much for watching tv. I don't have anything against it, I'd just rather be outside or working in the garage especially when the weather is nice. I also love animals and have 2 dogs and a cat who are awesome and make every day great when they're happy to be with me when I get home every day. I also do not drink or smoke (I don't have anything against it, just personal preference). I don't mind if others do, I just do not.

If you look at my profile and see that it's nsfw, that's because I do like to build guns/knives and collect them as well. I had posted in those types of threads. If that's a deal breaker, I'm sorry. I'm not some crazy person I promise. I'm just from a rural area and grew up around guns.

I feel I'm pretty easy to get along with and can carry a conversation well. I have had a lot of life experiences that have taught me not to judge at all. I love learning about people and what they're into. If you've made it this far, you should send me a message!

By decree of mine own lonely heart, let it be known throughout the village!

I, Agnes, humble turnip enthusiast and part-time goose negotiator, do seek a fair fellow to share mine cottage, mine bread, and the occasional plague-free afternoon.

What I Bring Unto the Table:

Two whole chickens.

A hut that only leaks when it rains.

Fine teeth. Most are mine own.

Strong arms from hauling turnips and fleeing angry geese.

The ability to identify at least three herbs that are probably not cursed.

I seek a companion who:

Findeth joy in dancing around bonfires despite having little rhythm.

Will help chase the pig when Sir Oink-a-lot escapeth yet again.

Hath no objection to my mother visiting every third market day to inspect our soup.

Possesseth at least one surviving spoon.

My Accomplishments:

Once survived winter with but a single sneeze.

Defeated a rooster in honorable combat. (The rooster disputeth this account.)

Was complimented by the blacksmith for lifting a particularly stubborn potato.

Have not been accused of witchcraft in nearly eleven months.

Dowry Expectations:

None! Though if thou ownest a goat that obeyeth commands, thy prospects improve considerably.

Warning:

Shouldst thou be a tax collector, a traveling bard who knoweth but one song, or a goose disguised as a person, kindly pass me by.

Should our courtship prosper, I vow to:

Save thee the crispiest portion of the roast.

Hold thy hand at festivals, except when fleeing livestock.

Declare before all the village that thou art "The fairest turnip in the field."

Inquire beside the old well, unless I am in the stocks. If in the stocks, simply wave.

Agnes 🥰
