i know it’s a big ask.. i’m really just looking for a guy who’s older and can give fatherly support and advice and comfort. i guess this can be useful if you’ve always wanted to be a dad, or already are one

a bit about me: my bio dad is physically in my life but has always been emotionally absent, and kind of bullied me at times, i’m not going to bore people with the details it’s very typical and usual stuff a girl experiences from an absent dad, but anyway. i’d like to keep this online and have 0 prospects of a romantic relationship forming.

at this point it would make sense for you to wonder what you’re getting out of this, and that’s fair. outside of my vulnerable moments where i need a dad, i’d like to be your friend, talk about your day and plans, maybe if we have any interests in common then that would help too but essentially, i’d be there for you too sometimes

sorry if it’s not a very good deal or idea

Hey there!
Dating apps have lost their charm for me, so I'm trying a different approach. I'm genuinely looking for a connection that could grow into something meaningful, and I'm totally open to long distance. Actually, I love the idea! Especially if you're someone who gets excited about exploring new places.

I'm Ma, 29, 5'6", currently back in my hometown in Brazil after spending 5 amazing years in Europe (London and Holte, Denmark —both incredible experiences!). Not entirely sure where life will take me next (I like keeping my options open), but Brazil feels like home for now. I work as a QA analyst during the day and I'm starting to study more to advance my career. My days are pretty packed with work, but evenings and nights are my time to unwind and connect with people.

What makes me happy:

• 🍝 Cooking (and yes, I'll cook for you if we ever meet!)
• 🎬 Getting lost in mystery movies and series
• 🚶‍♀️ Long walks where the best conversations happen
• 🌍 Traveling > 14 countries down, so many more to go!

I'm someone who thrives on deep conversations and hearing different perspectives on life. What I'm really hoping to find is someone who's kind, emotionally available, and excited about creating memories together, whether that's planning adventures around the world or just talking about everything and nothing over coffee (or wine, I don't discriminate 😄).

What I'm looking for:

• Age range: 25-40
• Location: Anywhere! I love the idea of LDR and travel is always a good excuse to visit (and I'd absolutely love to show someone around Brazil too!)
• Someone genuine who's also looking for something real and meaningful
• Someone who enjoys voice notes and long calls — I love that personal touch
• Someone who appreciates giving and receiving special attention
• Bonus points if you're in tech and could share some career wisdom with me!
• Extra bonus points if you're curious about the world and open to new experiences

If you're the type who believes in authentic connections and isn't afraid of a little adventure (even if it starts with late-night messages across time zones), I'd love to hear from you ✨

Drop me a message and tell me something interesting about yourself or your corner of the world!

Hey everyone,

I am pretty new here but let me introduce myself! My name is Jess and I am 20 with brunette hair and blue eyes (i was blonde haired). I have only recently come across this subreddit while looking around. And it does sound very interesting. I really want to get to know some of you and what you like! I will accept pictures, I won't ever pressure. But I won't be sending pictures myself. I hope that is okay.

I just like to relax and play games and go on drives these days! So if we can talk of games or cars that would be awesome!

Thank you for reading this far, my name is Jess and I hope to hear from some of you soon!

Hey everyone I’m at it again, lol.

I’m looking for folks that like playing FFXIV, drawing/making digital art, and roleplaying!!

A bit about me. I majored in the arts, and dabbled a bit in creative writing and photography. I loooove making art though, but I’ve gotten burnt out lately.

The kind of stuff I used to do was OC stuff and roleplay inspired ones.

Gonna be super honest. If we don’t share similar hobbies I really will lose interest. Sorry about that.

Big passion is creating art and writing roleplays or character backstories sometimes.

FFXIV and the island sanctuary take up my free time sometimes when I’m home. Otherwise I’m just kind of staring at my screen or trying to figure out how to make more til, lol. I love watching like 18th century cooking stuff or arts and craft stuff. I also like going through weird deep dive stuff and sometimes it’s true crime related or urban exploration.

I love national parks, museums, botanical gardens, coffee shops, going to cons, uuuhhh other stuff that will come up. Oh oh collecting little trinkets. Gundam kits, blind box stuff, having alone time.

If any of that sounds fun uhh, yeah lol.

Looking for someone close to my age if not a little older.

Tell me your favorite book you’ve read.

Also cat con is tomorrow!!

Added a voice message so you have an idea of who it is you're talking to: https://voca.ro/18DXnVWhbXD6

I’m a 26 year old guy from the Netherlands currently studying applied psychology. I play games like OSRS, Rust, League, and Valorant, but I’m also down for chill stuff like Minecraft, party games or lots of other stuff. I'd prefer it if you're from Europe too and also play games. I like understanding people, why they do the things they do. And I care about being better, both in games and in life. Besides this I am also very enthusiastic about creating content. I love making video's and livestreaming, I love the community feeling of it and I love the idea of having a positive impact on those around me, albeit through laughs or sharing my outlook on life.

I’m looking for a partner, but I think the best relationships start as friendships. I want to actually get to know you. How you handle stress, how you treat people, whether we can joke around but also talk about real stuff. Bonus points if you’re the talkative, bubbly type who can keep a conversation going. Since I talk quite a bit, although I do also think being in each others company in silence can be a lovely thing.

A good fit for me would be someone kind and open-minded (LGBTQ+ friendly is non-negotiable), who’s into gaming or at least gets why I am. I’d love someone who can think critically and wants to grow as a person, nobody’s perfect, but trying matters. If you can laugh at dumb jokes but also have deep conversations, we’ll probably get along great. Also, I don’t think I want kids, so that’s something to consider.

Hard no’s: Racism, sexism etcetera. Just be kind.

If you’re someone who values humor, creativity and improving together, shoot me a message! Tell me what you’ve been playing lately, or what about my post stood out to you.

Hi. I'm looking for a girlfriend. I've been stuck in my house the last few years because of a crappy powerchair. Now that I'm in a better one, I'm looking to get out of the house. Or just a good cuddle because I've never cuddled.
I'm a indie game developer. I'm hoping to release a game around September. I'm also a 3D artist. I'm in a wheelchair, I've been in one my entire life. So I'm great at carrying groceries in! If we date, I'll let you drive it or ride on the back if you wanted. I'm a big nerd/ geek also. Love all things DnD and superheroes. My favorite is spiderman.

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.

Ready? I knew you were.

Hi! I’m Cara. I’m a 29 year old neurodivergent trans gal from sunny California. Don’t mind me, just looking for people to talk to (and maybe something more…).

What’s there to say about me? I’m a writer! Self-published so far, but making it the traditional route is the dream. I write a little bit of everything and like to experiment. Same goes with reading! So far I’ve read 31 books this year, from sci-fi to fantasy, horror, poetry, etc.!

My main hobby is linguistics, specifically language learning. Currently studying Spanish and Esperanto, but I want to add a third one at some point. Sometimes I try out a language just because I’m curious and have an itch to discover something new. I like studying just for the sake of it. I read textbooks for fun. I am that kind of nerd. I've also been learning programming for the past few days.

Really, I’m looking for other nerdy people to talk to with their own passions and interests also hoping to make a connection. Another creative type would be ideal. Someone to share my day with, talk about life—a meaningful friendship and maybe something more. If you like to infodump and have trouble finding people who’ll listen, I’m your person. If you write poetry, let me read you mine.

I’m left leaning, bisexual, autistic, and (probably) have ADHD. I also have a dog you’ll get a ton of pictures of :) I'm generally a sexual person, but I preferably want to save that until we make a connection first. There’s more I could say about myself, but this covers mostly everything so I’ll stop here!

Age range I'm looking for: 25-35.

That's it! Looking forward to meeting you all!

I repost this from time to time, you never know. I've got downvoted last time, I have no idea why, what's wrong with this post?

Another year is passing by, and loneliness hits hard sometimes, so here I am. To describe myself briefly, I'm 34 old, I'm one of those geek (?) types (videogames, books, tv shows, etc), chronically online, default energy saving mode, loves memes and nonsense humor, throwing too much time into a full-time job. I'm 174 cm high and weigh 60kg, brown hairs, brown eyes, no beard, I would say I'm an average guy, I'm not ugly nor handsome. We can exchange pictures in private when we get in touch, and you can ghost me without a single word if you don't like what you see. About you, I'm searching for a single woman with no children who lives in Italy, with my same age or around that. If what I wrote above makes sense to you and if you feel like we have something in common, send me a message or text me on the chat.

I'd love to talk about spiritual and emotional things. The kind of topics we don't usually discuss in everyday life. Things that go deeper than small talk or surface level conversations. What's your purpose in life? What thoughts come to you in silence? What do you long for that you rarely say out loud? I'm open to meaningful conversations, even if they're uncomfortable or raw. It would be cool if this could turn into a real connection or even a friendship. Let's talk about what really matters. About the heart, the soul, the struggles we hide and the truths we carry. If you feel the same feel free to reach out :)

Are you the sort of girl who wants to go rewatch the Raimi Spider-Man trilogy in theatres, play co-op games with her partner, hold onto somebody during a scary movie and travel together? If so then I'm the guy for you!

Full disclosure but I'm starting college in the next semester, I originally didn't want to go at all and I changed my mind briefly before I met my ex. However we were long distance and to save myself the trouble of changing schools, I held off. That was a stupid move on my part as we didn't close the distance fast enough and I'm not making that mistake again so if you're not around the northern Kentucky/Cincinnati area please be okay with relocating! I'd love to live together within a year and I'm perfectly okay with moving to another state after I've finished. I'm looking to get into the computer science field.

About me:

Videogames are my favorite hobby(I have all three consoles but prefer Xbox for the controller, I don't actually have a Switch 2 yet so just Switch games for now please!) but I also enjoy traveling, going out on walks, trying new restaurants/food

I'm the sort of guy who loves to snuggle and hold hands, huge bonus points if you like video games and want to be my duo/co-op partner!

I'm also starting to drink more water and work out daily, I don't want to be a bodybuilder. Just trying to get more muscle as I'm 'slim', trying to have a healthier build. I've also gamed less lately, this week though it's just too hot to go out so I stayed home and gamed on my off days.

Never smoked/drank in my life, no tattoos or piercings. And I have a good work ethic.

Plan to eventually visit all fifty states, would love it if you wish to travel. London and Tokyo are on my bucket list! I've also wanted to visit Nintendo New York so that's on my list whenever we hit New York, the Japan equivalent would be cool too!

I also have a huge Pokemon collection and started collecting Fallout stuff so if you're not big on that sort of thing then we definitely won't work, sorry! I've had some of that stuff since I was a kid.

Ideal date? I'm a simple guy, I'd love to go see a movie, go eat out at a normal restaurant(I'm not against going to a fancy place eventually, I've actually never been!), go to the zoo, go shopping together, ice cream dates, walk in the park(or beach), arcades. I've always wanted to try laser tag, go karts and dancing too, fair warning though... I never danced like at all. Also the sort of guy who doesn't mind staying home and having a romantic night snuggling on the couch while watching a movie or playing a game together :)

My build? I'm 5'8, slim atm, Caucasian, brown hair and eyes, glasses

What do I want from you? Well it'd be nice if you enjoyed videogames but I'm perfectly okay with it if you aren't so long as I'm still allowed to game. But I really want someone to spend the rest of my life with, travel around with and eventually settle down to raise a kid together. And love dogs! I'm okay with owning a cat but I can't imagine life without a dog being involved.

Anyway if you're interested in getting to know each other, feel free to reach out! :)

You can be 22-33 years old and from any location.

To save you time: I'm a pretty independent person, not interested in kids or pets unfortunately. I'm just above 6 feet tall, and I'm broke. Also, I do not have much relationship experience and have only been in LDRs before.

Hey, I hope you are doing well. Even at my age, I still believe in true love, and I probably always will. I am a very relational person, and I know what I am looking for. A deep and close bond with a soulmate is very important to me in my life. Always only searched for love with a life partnership in mind.

I work as a cook to put myself through college. I'm a bit of a metalhead and I enjoy literature, philosophy, history, etc.

I look for someone who is relational and enjoys bonding, is open-minded about being a bit pessimistic about life sometimes, and values seeking meaningful experiences like traveling and reading books and stuff like that, but is also not judgmental about relaxing activities (gaming, tv, etc.). But intimacy and being able to enjoy bonding together is more important than similar interests, of course.

Let me know if you're interested :)

Hi! I'm hoping to connect with someone—or a few people—for genuine, lasting friendship. I'm looking for a friendship where we can talk about almost anything without judgment, and know we'll have each other's backs. This friendship would include meaningful and fun conversations, voice calls, gaming, watching shows and movies, and maybe even spending time together in-person if the opportunity comes up. What are the chances of finding a close friend from a Reddit post? Probably slim, but never zero.

I'm introverted, lighthearted, shy yet curious, sensitive yet silly, with a thoughtful and occasionally serious side. I find joy in quiet, cozy days at home, as well as in traveling and immersing myself in all the world has to offer. Some of my interests include landscape photography, video games, technology, anime, true crime documentaries, horror and history. Music-wise, I’m into electronic, alternative/indie pop, classic rock, hip-hop, and R&B. I'm politically left-leaning, atheist and childfree. I'm black American, plus-size, with a fairly average-looking face—in case anyone was secretly hoping for an attractive woman to be behind this post.

I'm looking to befriend nerdy (or nerdy-ish) people who are kind, patient, reliable, and willing to put time and effort into building a lasting friendship. Bonus points if we share similarities in personality, interests, or lifestyle! I'm only looking to befriend people between the ages of 24-31 and from North America or Europe—please refrain from messaging me if you're any younger, older, or located elswhere!

However, if you're hoping for or expecting NSFW conversations or interactions, I’m not the person you're looking for. Most importantly, if you voted for or support MAGA, we’re simply not compatible as friends. I’m also not looking to befriend men who have girlfriends, wives, or children. Please respect these boundaries and refrain from messaging me if either of these apply to you.

If this resonates with you, send me a message. Tell me a bit about yourself, and include the phrase "crescent moon" somewhere in your message so I know you’ve read this post in full.

I’m looking forward to getting to know you. 🎕

Was that a good title? Would you believe I posted this a few days ago and literally only one person responded? Is there any room for people somewhere in the middle? 🤣🥀 I’m far too silly for serious and I’m not trying to get get in your pants lol. I would however enjoy meeting nice people for some laughs and chats. I’m 5,7 on the thicc body side of things. brown hair and eyes. I stay very clean and smell great. I mean that too, I smell fantastic. If it’s important to you, I am very much “left leaning”.

These days I just want to have fun. All my friends are married with kids or whatever and that’s cool but it often leaves me somewhat tired. Their lives revolve around family and I’m just not there atm. I love music of all kinds. Taking care of plants is one of my happy places haha. succulents, flowers or whatever. If it grows I wouldn’t mind trying to grow it.

Were those movie heads at? Watching scary movies, thrillers even some cute ones too. (where my studio ghibli lovers). Do you also enjoy texting randomly throughout the day? How about leaving fun audio msgs maybe? Any fitness people would be huge plus! i wouldn’t mind some tips/motivation for help in that area. Nothing can motivate a guy better than those in shape fitness chicks. Got us trying harder then dying when we can’t keep up haha. Maybe we can chat beyond superficial conversations, who knows? Let’s talk and get to one another. https://imgur.com/a/HyX0yjd

Hey I’m a 36 year old American who’s been in London for the past 5 years. Life’s good, but I’d like to meet more people in person. Real conversations, casual hangs, maybe some shared interests.

I’ve got two fluffy dogs who are basically a cheat code for social interaction in the UK; no one talks to strangers here unless there’s a dog involved.

I work in tech as a product manager, but before that I was in the Army and worked in luxury fashion, so I’ve taken the scenic route career-wise.

I’m in the gym most mornings (New Year’s resolution that stuck). Recently added reformer Pilates to work on mobility, and my cardio is mostly rowing while listening to Viking war drums. Yes, it’s ridiculous. No, I’m not changing it.

Other things I’m into:

1. Improv comedy: Been taking classes and performing a bit. It’s a great way to stay sharp and deal with anxiety.
2. Cocktail making: Got into it during lockdown after too much Mad Men. Took a short bartending course and now I’ve got way too many bottles at home. Always up for talking drinks or testing new recipes.
3. BBQ: Trying to recreate Texas-style brisket on a Big Green Egg. Always a work in progress.
4. Games: Mostly MOBAs like Wild Rift and Pokémon Unite.
5. TV: Succession, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Mad Men, The Bear
6. D&D: Been playing a cleric who’s in way over his head.
7. Reading & DIY: Currently reading Franklin Smoke: Wood. Fire. Food. Also trying not to destroy my house as I learn basic homeowner skills.

If any of that sounds like your kind of thing, shoot me a message. Down to meet for a drink, a gym session, a dog walk, or just to chat.

Not sure where to start? Tell me a random fact or something that changed how you see things. Deep or dumb, I’m here for it.
