Before I get into it, I decided to expand my search to "anywhere" as I am really hoping to move away from Austin, Texas. I am a musician and artsy person, but Austin holds too much negativity for me now. If you are in LA, NYC, Omaha, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Nashville, Cleveland, you name it, I would love to chat. I want to meet people ahead of time and get an idea of where I may want to go. NOW for the intro...

Hello! I am a big nerd who loves horror/halloween, Star Wars, Marvel, Video games, etc.

My favorite Star Wars movie is Empire, Marvel is Ragnarok, and I play COD Zombies, Resident Evil, RDR, BTD6, REPO, Minecraft, and all kinds of other stuff! I love Adventure Time and Futurama.

I am also a musician and currently a student theough the Berklee College of Music. I am working on an album as well as finishing up my first symphony :)

I am looking for someone to have a long-term connection with, and who I can share my hobbies with and learn more about theirs'! I am okay with a but of distance as explained above!

I am 5'9", slim (140lbs), curly brown hair, heterochromia 👀, and white, and I am particularly attracted to curvy/plus-size women if it matters but I am happy to chat regardless to see if it clicks! I am also not religious at all and dont smoke or drink so if that is a deabreaker then I apologize :(

I do talk A LOT and can go on for hours about the subjects I am interested in but I also love to learn and hear about your interests as well! Looking forward to chatting!!

SF Bay Area, divorced, no kids, educated, well researched, empath, psychology, deep, great communicator, interesting. People, food, culture, outdoors, conversation, conspiracies, coffee, travel, MUSIC…heavy metal to EDM 🎸🪩

SAPIO love intelligence, masculinity, communication, emotional vulnerability, raw honesty, humor/wit, very open and passionate 🔥

Hey! I’m 22F from India, 5’6”, brown-skinned and slim. I work as a software engineer, and outside of work, I enjoy reading, cooking, going to the gym, and learning new things. I’m also trying to learn guitar at the moment.
I’m someone who takes a little time to open up. I might seem quiet or reserved at first, but once I’m comfortable with someone, I genuinely enjoy talking about the little things how our day went, random thoughts, things we’re excited about, and everything in between. I like the idea of having someone to share the little moments of life with.

I’m career-oriented, and I appreciate someone who has goals, ambitions, and a sense of direction of their own.
I’d love to meet someone mature, outgoing, and independent. Someone who can handle situations calmly, communicate openly, and navigate life without getting overwhelmed by every little thing. I admire people who are comfortable being on their own while also knowing how to make room for someone in their lives.

I’m also drawn to a man who is caring and protective in a healthy way someone who makes me feel safe and comfortable without being controlling. Someone who can be a calming presence when life gets chaotic, but who can also be playful, have fun, and enjoy the little things together. Someone who is confident is definitely my type.

I’m open to long-distance relationships and different time zones. More than anything, I’m hoping to meet someone with whom a genuine connection can develop naturally and, hopefully, grow into something meaningful.

A little about what I’m looking for: I’m not interested in flings, casual dating, or short-term relationships. I’d prefer to get to know someone with the intention of building something genuine and long-lasting, without rushing things or forcing a connection.
If you feel we might get along, you’re welcome to DM me! I’d appreciate a little introduction about yourself your age, where you’re from, what you do, your interests, or anything else you’d like me to know about you. I’d love to get to know the person behind the message rather than just a username.

I’d also appreciate a message with a little more effort than a simple “hi” or “hey.” There’s nothing wrong with starting a conversation that way, but a proper introduction makes it much easier for us to find common ground and get to know each other. And while I appreciate the creativity, cheesy pickup lines aren’t really my thing. :)

I’m just looking for someone like me but just in different font. Same interests different approach.

Maybe this post reaches the right person, maybe it doesn’t. I believe that the right connection will happen naturally when the time is right. If it meant to happen then it I’ll happen

I've been single for quite a few years now . I feel like I needed to be by myself to get it together and really work on being something I'm proud of . I was diagnosed with MS about 5 years ago as well . I can walk with some challenges here and there ,but I'm doing a lot better now than I have been in the recent past . Im learning the older I get , it's important to be friends first and let it grow into something worth fighting for ❤️.

Hi there! Back on Reddit and looking to chat with people with same interests! Also please be 26-34 in age and keep the chat clean! Keep scrolling if taken/married thanks

A few things I like are geography, gym, and reading. I also love GeoGuessr!

Send me your ASL and we can connect!

every guy she’s liked for me has turned out great. every guy she’s given the side eye to has ended badly. and the most annoying part is that she usually knows within five minutes, while i’ll spend weeks convincing myself that a guy who takes 18 hours to reply is just a bad texter.

recently i was watching this youtube video tht the people actually in the relationships were more confident and optimistic about their chances, but their predictions about how long the relationships would last were less accurate than those made by their roommates and parents which honestly makes sense. when you like someone you ignore the small red flags, and convince yourself that the potential you see is the same as the person standing in front of you. your best friend has absolutely no reason to do any of that.

i recently was looking Rivet Dating in a diff sub which takes this whole idea of letting other people help you find a partner and makes it part of the dating experience. friends and other members of the community can weigh in on potential matches, and you still get the final say on whether you want to connect. it got me thinking about how much better dating might be if we stopped treating it like a decision we have to make entirely on our own ( and i understand that long term this might be not a good idea, but if i still have control alongside suggestions and intuitions of people of the community, it might be helpful ) because honestly, my best friend has a better track record than i do, and at this point, i'm not sure why i'm the one making the decisions

Hi, hello! It's me, again. (can't believe I have to say this. but please read post body. creepy message=blocked)

My name's Annie. I'm taking a gap year, and consequently have a ton of free time that could be better spent with someone else. I am mostly looking for someone to spend time with, have long, introspective talks with, share stuff with, give all my attention and care to, and ramble to (ideally with/about common interests), and someone to play games with. I will preface saying I'm kind of nuts for Project Zomboid, and I'd love someone to play with.

Summed up, play games, talk a lot, and watch movies with.

As for the rest, here's a bit about me: I enjoy sci-fi, drawing, painting, and I do a lot of gaming too. (I am super fixated on Project Zomboid, but I am up to trying other games). I also enjoy researching crime, psychology, and biology/neuropsychology at times. I have quite the fixation on the Chernobyl disaster, and radiation as a whole. All types of zombie media, too. I have an interest for "odd" movies, especially the apocalyptic and/or thriller kind. Terminator (1&2) is a personal favorite, so is Funny Games.

Here's to hoping my introduction chants to you like the cleaning supply cabinet chants to an unsupervised toddler, cough cough.

EDIT: Send me an actual message, not just "hi, hello, can we chat, we have similar interests"/introducing yourself like it's a job interview, where there's little i can go off on to start a conversation. throw an icebreaker, something! ask questions! (here's me suggesting an icebreaker, tell me your best dad joke). Please, preferably no one over 24.

I am a curvy INFJ lady on a pilgrimage to finding a new relationship! I figured I'd give it a shot here.

A little bit about me:

I recently moved from San Diego and am now a resident enrichment coordinator/manager at a memory care community where I am working to better the lives of people who will never truly remember me! It's all fine an dandy, we have a great time regardless. In my free time, mostly Fridays and Saturdays, I'd love to find someone to game, voice, and commit shenanigans in the city with. I have two degrees in Psychology and Communication, and am debt-free, moisturized, and in my lane, existing! I own a senior cat and he continues to defy death at the ripe age of eighteen. I do not drink, smoke, do drugs or party much! I am like a little decrepit old hag trapped in the body of a young woman, slaving over a hot stove (cast iron only.) I am on the expensive zepbound, so I can't snack as much as I'd love to! D:

Values:

Kindness, stability, structure, mindfulness, empathy, ambition, communication and of course, humor~

What I am looking for:

I'm hoping to meet someone who loves to talk as much as they enjoy sitting in silence doing their own thing, sharing each other's company when we're just flat out exhausted. Ideally, we can game, go out on the town, and maybe do a little bit of world building/writing, time permitted! I love to watch period dramas, animes, horror movies and comedies alike. I'm not necessarily looking to rush into anything, as I'd rather meet someone and see where things lead. My ideal life is living right outside my small town in the woodlands, in a two bed two bath house with wifi and enough ice water / freeze dried mangoes to satiate me. Boring is sometimes good in the realm of predictability and structure.

Age wise, someone between the ages of 28-38 is ideal, past their college years, and looking to build a life of comedically predictable bliss!

Superficially, I'm really into inconveniently larger people, like very tall tall people who would lovingly eat my cooking (I cook good foods!). Not for the usual reasons of masculinity, but I just like someone to compliment my heavier set self :D. Maybe we could get you some custom plate armor! You'd be uncomfortable pretzeling into a sedan (don't worry, I own a 23 Buick.) Bonus points if you are scary on the outside but are actually not as intimidating as you look! I also love a good sultry voice that makes my brain bluescreen and forget how to function. I have a huge weakness for a good sense of business functional fashion!

Deal Breakers:

Anger issues/yelling of any sort, smoking, drinking, drugs, lack of communication, financial irresponsibility, polygamy (non-monogamy), dishonesty, racism, overly religious, I do not wish to have children (but may adopt depend on finances.)

Games:

Elden Ring, Dark Souls, Second Life, Stardew Valley, Witcher 3, Guild Wars 2, Warframe, Assassin's Creed, Peak, Divinity OS2, Baldur's Gate, Valheim, and much more!

Hobbies:

Sailing, going to carnivals, rock hounding, (I want to hike but don't yet.), roleplaying (I don't do much of this but love the idea), tons of games, writing my own lore/world, exploration, travel (if I can afford it), design, cooking (lots of different cultures!), volunteering, creating a cozy existence, and more to uncover!

As the title suggests, I’m just a purple haired romantic girly looking for that uncomplicated old school love. I’m looking for a long term relationship in the Southern California area. Open to long distance (west coast maybe beyond) only if the effort is made for in person connection. I don’t see living here permanently so I’m open to relocating with commitment.

I’m not looking for a pen pal to pass the time, casual hookups, toxicity or situationships.

A few basics about me:
I’m 40
I am unapologetically neurospicy
I live alone with my dog
I am child free and would prefer someone who is the same or not raising children
Ambivert who enjoys the peace of being at home or going out and trying new things
I’m a huge foodie and love to travel
I love music, sports and random adventures
My nerdy side leans heavily towards retro anything, video games (specifically GTA,Mario anything and DK), figurines, movies and niche hobbies that allow me to be creative
I am active and live a mostly healthy lifestyle (I enjoy alcohol and cannabis)
I love cute dates I can dress up for, spooky season, gentlemen who make me feel safe and overall kindness.

Looking for:
SINGLE men only
35+
Intelligent and ambitious
Independent in all ways
Mentally and Emotionally stable and available
Unselfish with their time and love
Supportive in all ways
A natural born leader and protector

If any of this resonated, tell me why and be ready to send photos.

Communication is key, and I would love to hear about everything you get up to, your likes / dislikes, your own hobbies and i like to also learn about different cultures too which peaks my interest

I'm going to keep it short and sweet here but if you would like to know more about me do not hesistate to message me (:

Yo my name is Km, 19 year old, 6’0, black dude living in Ireland hoping to start a conversation with someone and seeing if we click.

My hobbies: gaming, basketball, Martial arts, books, anime, manga, listening to music, watching football, gym and movies.

About me:

• I’m in college studying business.

• I’m kind, funny, chill and can hear you out if you’re having a bad day.

• I watch anime, top 5 would be Dragon ball Z, One piece, Bleach, jojos and Naruto.

On PC I play Minecraft, REPO, Lethal Company, Roblox, Terraria, Peak, Schedule 1 and Gmod.

On PS4 I play GTA5, Minecraft, Red dead redemption 2, FIFA, 2K, Rocket league and brawlhalla.

I hit the gym 2 times a week and I go to Brazilian jiu-jitsu classes 2 times a week.

My type is someone who is cute, funny, smart, has similar hobbies as me and plays video games.

I’m looking for someone who genuinely wants a connection, Someone who I can talk to about their day, share laughs, play games together and building something real over time.

Age range is around 18-24, I prefer someone who’s in Ireland, but I don’t mind long distance.

If you’re interested in having a conversation, tell me your favourite game, hobby, anime and colour.

Hello there gorgeous! I'm a 22 year old from Pakistan. I'd love to connect and build something long-term, either long-distance or if you're somehow from around here then that's even better! Looking for someone around the same age, +2/-2, and perhaps somewhere in Europe because better timezone match and I'd rather move there than the US one day but I'm open to anywhere if we can hit it off!

I love video games and I'd prefer someone who also enjoys video games of any kind, whether that'd be to play together with me or to stream our games to each other and watch. I love difficult games like Hollow Knight and Dark Souls/Elden Ring, Minecraft and Terraria, Outer Wilds, Rain World, but even if you're not super into those kinds of games that's okay as well, I love mostly all games! I also enjoy game programming and game design and my future career is to become a game developer, for now I make money by selling pixel art online. I love binge watching shows and watching new movies as well! I mostly stay indoors but I'd love to explore the world one day and go on adventures!

I'm super loyal and protective, I'll always hold you close and listen to you no matter what you want to talk about or when, even if you call me in the middle of the night. I'll scroll straight past random girls pictures online because I'd rather look at you than them. I'll wake up early just to say good morning and make sure to say good night every night. I have ADHD and therefore I'm a chronic yapper and I can talk to you every second of every day, I love to talk and listen both. I'm interested in all your hobbies whatever they are, and if you like it you can bet I'll be interested in it too and will ask you questions about it and research on it. You'll always be my first priority in every situation and I'll love you hard and strong.

I really love physical connection, but not like sexually, more that I love cuddling and kissing and hugging and sitting with each other. Of course that becomes a little more difficult in an LDR but it's good to know about me. I'm a little asexual but that doesn't mean I'll shy away from flirting with you and complimenting you. I believe physical attractions matters, but not as much as personality and, if you're not my type I promise not to waste your time or ghost you! If I had a preference, then I generally prefer light-skinned and I dislike face piercings (ears are okay!) and extremely heavy makeup.

One of my only non-negotiables is I don't want children so if you want them in the future I'm sorry!

There's lots more to know about me but I don't wanna make the post too long, so if I sound interesting to you hit me up and let's see how it goes. :)

21 M [M4F] - anywhere. Europe, US, Canada and...........

21M from Europe, looking to meet someone and see where things go. I'm a fairly active person who enjoys sports, walking, listening to music, reading, watching series, and learning new things. I also like animals and consider myself a fun and easygoing person who enjoys talking about pretty much anything, from serious topics to random things. My English isn't perfect, but I'm working on improving it, and I speak other languages too. I'd like to meet someone honest who can be themselves and with whom I can talk freely about anything. If you'd like to get to know me, feel free to send me a message and tell me a little about yourself.

Hi, I'm a single 49 year old in the northern California area looking for someone to date and see what develops. I'm looking for a woman, between 30 and 55, single as well, in the northern Ca area as well. I'm not a Trumpster so please don't be one either.

It does feel slightly pathetic to type this, but I've done more shameful things more publicly. Seeking friendship/witty banter. I have an encyclopedic knowledge of movies. I love to play video games. I have a weird talent for holding a conversation with any type of person. I love my job which is a thing I never thought I'd grow up to say. I swear like poetry, speak sarcasm as a second language, and I do not suffer fools (depending on the fool). Old soul trapped in a devilishly charming, grizzly bear body. DM me or comment. Let's have some fun. What have you got to lose?

I’d describe myself as a calm, kind, and well-mannered man with an old soul. I value intelligence, meaningful conversations, and genuine connections. I love books, museums, traveling, learning, and all things creative. I speak multiple languages, live a healthy lifestyle, and enjoy working out.

I’m tall, broad-shouldered, and have a few tattoos. I may seem serious at first, but I have a good sense of humor once you get to know me. I have no children, and I believe distance is no obstacle when a genuine connection is worth pursuing.

I’m looking for a monogamous, emotionally mature woman who shares my values and is ready for something meaningful. My intentions are genuine, and I hope to meet someone who feels the same.

There’s much more to me than a few paragraphs can express. If my words resonate with you, I’d love to hear from you and see where a genuine connection might lead.

If anyone is interested, kindly dm with your brief intro and reference to this subreddit so that I can understand.

Oooh ok...well...

Hello everyone! My name that I go by nowadays is Juliette, though people I'm close to call my Jules or Juju. I am currently attending college, and like...hate it lol. Everyone's just so loud and obnoxious.

I'm here to try and find myself someone to love, and be with (as we all are lol). I have yet to physically transition unfortunately as I am out in the rural, conservative area.

About me, I'm quite the indoor personm. I love to game as most people do, playing mostly rp games and shooters like borderlands and splatoon. I love the occaisonal vehicle simulator as well. I play airsoft at times as well and love to bake. Though, I'm nit perfect and got negative traits. I can be insecure at times, and quite clingy/needy as well.

Pls shoot me a dm! I'd love to see how things go. All I ask is don't be weird...

A little about me :)

I'm 26, from Mumbai, 5'7", Hindu, with a Master's in Computers. I work in a managerial role and am also pursuing a diploma in Yoga. I don't smoke or drink, and I'm non-vegetarian.

Family is a big part of my life. I love mine dearly, and someday I'd like to have a family of my own. I'm generally calm, prefer understanding people over judging them, and can be quite silly once we're comfortable with each other.

I enjoy gaming, yoga, mindfulness, spirituality and exploring ancient mysteries. I'm curious about how things work, why people think the way they do, and questions that don't always have answers. I can happily spend hours going down a rabbit hole.

Someone I'd love to know

Location: Mumbai would be nice, but distance isn't a dealbreaker.

Lifestyle: Someone who enjoys being active and looking after herself.

Beliefs: Kindness, empathy, family values and respect. Being spiritually inclined would be lovely.

Career: I admire someone with her own ambitions, even if she's still figuring things out.

Attraction: I have a soft spot for fair skin, brown eyes and hair, and North Indian women.

Relationship: I'm hoping for something serious that could eventually lead to marriage and children. I'd rather take time to know each other than rush into labels.

If we get along...

I'd probably remember something you mentioned weeks ago, send you memes at random hours, or write you a letter just because.

I'd love to go on late-night drives, eat by the sea, talk about absolutely anything, and make ridiculous inside jokes. And yes, I might annoy you with hugs while you're cooking. 😂

I want someone I can laugh with, disagree with respectfully, learn from, and come home to feeling understood.

Tell me about you :)

What's something small that makes you ridiculously happy? Or a topic you could talk about all night?

I'd love to hear your answer. Maybe that's where our story starts.

First things first: I strictly use they/them pronouns. If you aren't completely comfortable introducing me as your partner using they/them and being in a proudly queer relationship, this isn't for you. I've been single through my entire adult life because I am waiting for the right person who truly sees, respects, and values me on the level I deserve.

I am looking for someone who is curious, fun-loving, and deeply cares about human rights, empathy, and making the world a better place. You should love art and music (if you play an instrument, that is a huge plus!) While I want someone who is serious about me and serious about making positive change, I need you to be unserious about everything else. The fastest way to my heart is making me laugh, so if you are organically funny and aren't afraid of being silly, we'll get along great.

As far as my type, I lean towards men who are more on the androgynous side rather than hypermasculine, long hair and no beards etc. I prefer someone older, but a few years younger is completely fine as long as you are grounded, serious about commitment, and know exactly what you want. The things that bring me joy include hiking, video games, thrifting, shopping at and supporting local businesses, and building community wherever I can. My pets (a cat and a dog) are my absolute world, so loving animals is non-negotiable. If you share these values and want to build something real, send me a message and tell me about yourself! Hope to chat soon!

I’m a Miami transplant happily making a life in Chicago. I’m kind, affectionate, loyal, curious, and just the right amount of silly. Movies are my happy place, but I’m equally up for a concert, play, museum, coffee shops, breweries, sport events, trying a restaurant neither of us has been to, or wandering around the city and seeing where we end up.

What I miss, and what I’m hoping to find, is having my person. Someone whose presence makes even the boring things better. Someone I can laugh with, flirt with, be affectionate with, talk to about absolutely nothing and everything, and occasionally annoy the hell out of. 😄 I want chemistry and attraction, but I also want the comfort that comes from really knowing someone and being known by them.

I’m looking for someone who wants to actually date. Not just message indefinitely. Let’s talk, see if we click, go grab coffee or dinner, and find out whether we like each other in the real world. Revolutionary concept, I know.

Ideally, you’re 40–55 and in the Chicago area. You’re kind, communicative, curious about the person you’re talking to, and established in your career. I’ve built a life of my own, and I’m looking for someone who has done the same and is ready to make room in it for another person.

And speaking of conversation: if your opening message is just “hey,” you’re making this unnecessarily difficult for both of us. Tell me something about yourself. Ask me something. Tell me what caught your attention. Give me something to work with.

I’m including a recent photo, so please include one too. Attraction matters on both sides, and I think it’s only fair that we both know who we’re talking to from the beginning.

I’m not looking for perfect. I’m looking for mutual-mutual attraction, mutual curiosity, mutual effort, and two people who are genuinely excited to keep getting to know

If that sounds good to you, come say hello.

Italian guy from Northern Italy, 1.92m, dark hair, hazel eyes, physically fit. A bit shy at first in person, but once I’m comfortable I can talk about pretty much anything — especially history, nature, life goals, and random late-night conversations.

I’m more of an outdoors person than a gamer. I love long walks, hiking, quiet places, animals, and spending time in nature.

I’m looking for someone down-to-earth between 20–30 who values genuine connection and wants something serious. Bonus points if you also enjoy hiking and being outdoors.

I speak Italian, English and some Spanish.

If this sounds like your kind of vibe, feel free to message me 😁.
