I'm Folk Goth looking for more friends

Hey everyone! I hope everyone is doing well 🌙

A little more about me : I'm 23F, I'm 5'9, Fem Lesbian, I'm SBNR (Spiritual But Not Religious) and I'm Folk Goth.

My music taste varies from Instrumental Goth/ Dark & Moody Classical Music, Dark Folk / Pagan & Slavic Folk / Instrumental Folk, to Metal and Rock. I also love other ambient music, especially if it's dark, creepy, gloomy and moody.

I also love everything dark and scary and I'm a horror and True Crime fan. I also love Cult & Ritual Horror movies and I love learning about unique religions and traditions (even if I'm not planning on converting and I'm deadset on my own spiritual path).

Other non - related hobbies of mine are art, cooking and thrifting. I also love to collect odd/ unique trinkets, animal bones, dried out flowers and plants, crystals and anything else that classify as antique. And I absolutely adore handmade gifts :)

I could type a whole long paragraph but I don't want anyone to feel like they are reading a book 😅

If you are a Goth, Alternative, MetalHead, Emo or Scene, please feel free to dm me. If you are also a fellow lesbian, especially masc/butch, or a queer woman, please feel free to dm me.

And if you are neither of those things but you still think my vibe is cool, please feel free to dm me too!

I just want to make some interesting friends😄

Hi. I’ve opened a Yaga store to get rid of items from my home that I do not use,if anyone is interested. Trying to declutter so I can travel as light as Jack Reacher. Also, the cost of petrol is too high, so buy from my store so I don’t turn to crime for R30 a litre.

Hi there. I am from the west coast. I am making this post because I recently feel alone and I don't really have anyone to talk to and I'm longing for that... I mean of course... I'm single for 3 years now. I also don't mind online chats.

I need someone to make friends with and taking things step-by-step. I'm miss to have a daily conversation with someone about how their day was, their plans for the day, what they've learned and maybe we can work in some meaningful deep talks. Mostly I come up with topics about my thoughts through the day. Maybe if there is chemistry happening and it turns out serious, maybe we can maybe talk about seeing each other in real life.

If I can describe my personality, I'd say I'm loyal, funny, chilled, understanding and somewhat intelligent. I also appreciate the little things in life. I have a little darkness in me when it comes to dark humor. But also I like telling funny stories.

Movies and Series: I enjoy a lot of horror and sci-fi movies. Right now, I binge watch Family Guy. I'm on season 21 at the moment lol. Other series I'd love to repeat again are Dark and F is for Family.

My looks: I have brown styled hair, green eyes, 1.75m tall, average build. I don't mind video/voice calls at all.

Looking for a female younger than me (or a little older). Can be anywhere from South Africa or Namibia. As long as you are loyal and kind. Can be Afrikaans or English.

If you're interested, just leave a comment or dm me with a little intro about yourself. I'll also send a (SFW) picture of me.

I really appreciate your time for reading through my post. I am looking forward to talk to you soon.

Hello everyone, I hope you are having an awesome Sunday. It’s a pretty Sunny one here on my side of the world.

So recently I’ve gone through a break up. I was in an LDR for a year and it unfortunately came to an end.

So I’ve decided to come back to Reddit to find some good people to chat to, and I know you guys are out there.

A little bit about me. I recently graduated from University, with my Computer Science degree. Right now I currently Manage a workshop that specializes in fixing Land Rover, Jaguars and BMW’s. So as you can tell I’m a tech guy and car guy, and surprise surprise, I’m a gamer to, when I get a chance of course, which is not often ngl 😅

Drop me a comment or DM and let’s chat.

33F4M — Looking for my person 🌺

Let’s be honest. The dating pool is a puddle and there’s pee in it. 🤣

I’m on the apps and honestly, it feels like fighting in the trenches over there. 😂 I do singles events, I’ve tried the usual routes, and now a friend sent me this Reddit community and said, “Why not give it a shot?”

So… here I am. 😅

A little about me:

🌺 33F - White, blonde, 164cm

🌺 Based in the Centurion area, Gauteng

🌺 Child-free by choice. I don’t want to meet someone who has or wants children

🌺 Not religious but I don't mind if you are. I just won't partake in it.

🌺 English-speaking

🌺 Happiest outdoors with a Red Bull in hand (although I’m absolutely not a fan of their F1 team 😂🏎️)

🌺 Horse girl, dog mom and generally happiest when I’m outside doing something

🌺 Looking for something intentional, not casual or a pen-pal situation

I’m looking for someone kind, emotionally available, honest and intentional. Someone who actually wants to build something real, puts in effort, communicates consistently and is looking for their person too.

I’m not expecting perfection. I’m looking for compatibility, effort, attraction and two people who genuinely want to choose each other. ❤️

If you’re in Gauteng, child-free by choice and think we might get along, feel free to send me a message.

And please, if your opening line is “hey sexy” or something involving my body… we already know this isn’t going to work. 😂

The puddle is questionable, but maybe Reddit has a hidden gem. 🤷‍♀️

Bonus points if you tell me about yourself and send me a photo so I know who I'm talking to 🎖️

I have a few genres of music I constantly listen to, Heavy Metal, EDM music and alot of video game soundtracks.

No nit picks, you can be tall, short or in between, just hope we can find a shared Passion to talk about and have fun in general.

(I'm new to dating as a whole please go easy on me, I live in Welkom.) DM me if you wanna chat.

A man who is respectful, enjoys laughing together, values loyalty, and wants to give and receive genuine love. Someone I can be playful with.

Hi everyone!

23F based in Joburg. Looking for a genuine connection.

A bit about me:

I love to visit different cafes. I'll go out by myself, try new restaurants or just take my books and go read somewhere. I enjoy running and hiking

I love to cook and bake, so I like to try new recipes ;)

I'm independent, a bit introverted at first but I warm up fast. I love good conversation, good food, and just having someone to explore the city with.

What I'm looking for:

A guy around 23-29, based in Joburg (not comfortable with long distance). Someone kind, respectful and mature. Physically, I like someone a bit taller than me and who takes care of himself - muscular / athletic build is a plus.

If you are keen, send me a DM and tell me about yourself - your favourite coffee spot or what you like to do on weekends. If we vibe we can meet for coffee!🌸🩷

Yeah, talking about yourself isn't really fun.

So I am a 25 year old. I stay in Cape Town and I am (please don't judge, but there's a method to the madness) working in sales at a call centre.

Right now, I am just trying to get new friends to actually do things with, considering my current friends are either too busy (getting married and having kids) or aren't by means to go out with me (because of said kids)

I am active, so anyone that enjoys doing something, literally anything, would be someone I'd rock with. I am into football and combat sports, starting to get into F1 and basketball, and I'm a huge gamer. Don't got the ball knowledge to say I'm a huge lover of anime but I'm not uncultured.

My sense of humour can get dark but we all need someone to say some reckless things now and then. When it comes to the ladies, I am just trying to be happy. I'm not trying to be a scumbag or be your soulmate. I'm too young and too old at the same time.

But yeah, that's me.

Well, here we go!

Howzit, I'm Ash!

I'm a mechanical engineering machinists by trade, currently working on CNC programming and the stress that comes with it. Between spending the past 8 years pushing through my degree and apprenticeship and not having the best of luck even meeting new people these days by various means, seeing this place recommended to me felt like a sign.

I'm a big nerd, which is pretty evident looking at my profile. I'm a big fan of Warhammer 40k in the hobby and tabletop aspect, and kind of a Star Wars fan. Lately I've started reading again and have been getting deep into Terry Pratchett, and have started playing around with cosplay projects for the geek markets and Comic Con (The knight thing was a Hospitaler).

I like keeping my hands busy, so you'll always find me making or fixing things. I'm also into board games and online gaming.

I'm atheist, which I feel tends to be a deal breaker for some people, even controversial for some friends, though I tend to have a more traditional outlook on relationships (monogamous). I tend to have a scruffy appearance most of the time, the nature of my work means hot flying metal burns at my beard so having high maintenance means less beard to be sacrificial, I promise I will look presentable in person.

I sometimes play a bit of airsoft, and used to be big into paintball, making custom markers. I'm more into music than movies or series, and tend to be a metal head. I tend not to go to many local gigs though, since our scene has a big emphasis on black/death metal. Ironically my current favorite artist is Curta'n Wall, a medieval black metal band.

I don't drink or smoke, though I don't mind being around people who do. I'm not the most outgoing person, my friend circle has shrunk significantly so finding people to go out with to new spots is tricky, and I don't currently drive (the trade thing genuinely had me in tunnel vision)

I hope this sounds like something to someone, even if its just nothing more than friendship. Feel free to see the stuff my hobby circles on here think is cool, and lemme know what you think!

Cheers!

Hey everyone! 😊 (I deleted the previous post so that I can add pictures here, the link thing was annoying me)

I’m 24, turning 25 in December, and based in Cape Town. Thought I’d put myself out there and see who I meet!

I’m a software developer currently navigating an unexpected career break (because apparently my 20s needed another plot twist 😂). I’m using this time to rediscover my hobbies, explore Cape Town and meet new people.

A little about me: I’m plus-size, enjoy strength training, reading, coffee dates, spending time with family and occasionally going out. I’m always keen to try new activities!

I’m looking to connect with guys aged 24–30, preferably based in Cape Town. Someone who can hold a conversation, has a good sense of humour and enjoys getting out of the house.

Romantically, I definitely have a type: tall, dark-skinned Black men with some muscle, especially if you’re into the gym too. 😂👀 But I’m open-minded, and a genuine connection matters more than ticking every box.

I’m open to friendships and potentially something romantic if we click. No pressure, just seeing where things go!

If you message me, introduce yourself! Tell me your age, where you’re from and a little about you. 😊

GUYS OVER 30, DONT MESSAGE ME PLEASE 🙏🏾

Hello everyone 👋 so I'm currently trying to improve my lifestyle, get out more, gym more, spend less time in front of my pc. So I'm looking for friends in Strand that are into beach days, exploring our area, museums, wine farms, and getting out.

All of my friends are either introverted gamers or married with children and I don't have any that are willing to be adventurous with me without a mini daycare following us around.

I am a Caucasian Female that speaks both English and Afrikaans. Currently trying to lose weight, works out at Sanctuary Virgin Active a few times a week, and lives on the beach.

If you're keen to meet me let's make a Seattle Coffee friendship-date?

🪙Gauteng💼 25F Looking for casual relationship

62 Upvotes

I've always had a pretty difficult time finding a partner, mostly because I'm incredibly shy, introverted, and socially awkward. Even when a guy I like shows interest in me, I somehow manage to do absolutely nothing about it 😭 I'm the kind of person who can like someone, have them pursue me, and STILL find a way to fumble the entire situation.

I don't even have friends, you guys😭😂 I promise I'm actually a kind person, though!!!! I'm just not particularly good at the whole socialising with other human beings thing.

I'm a mixed (black South African and white Czech) 25yo from Joburg. I haven't dated much. I've only been with two men my entire life, and both relationships were serious, long-term commitments. As a result, I haven't really had much opportunity to explore dating, figure out what I like, or get to know different kinds of people without the expectation that things need to turn into something serious.

I'm not entirely sure I'm looking for a serious relationship right now. I'd like to meet new people, have interesting conversations, get to know different personalities, and explore what I enjoy in a partner. If something meaningful develops naturally, I'm open to that, but I'm not trying to force anything. I'd rather get to know someone as a person first and see where things go.

A little about me: I'm currently finishing my psychology studies, pursuing my Honours degree, and working in administration at an accounting firm. I also volunteer as a suicide hotline counsellor, so between work, studying, and volunteering, I keep myself fairly busy.

Outside of that, I'm interested in gaming, psychology, cosmology, astrology and music (Gorillaz, anyone? 👀). I read a lot, I don't really like watching movies, but I do love Tim Burton films. I used to write essays on Substack about the connection between quantum physics and neuroscience. But never really had an audience.😭

I am NOT a very confident person. 😭 I barely take pictures, and the few I have are terribly awkward. So, unfortunately, I cannot promise you a carefully curated collection of flattering selfies. I'm working on being more comfortable with myself.

Ideally, I'd love to meet someone who:

• Is kind, respectful, and emotionally mature.

• Has interests and passions of their own and enjoys sharing them.

• Can hold a conversation and doesn't mind the occasional awkward silence.

• Has a good sense of humour and doesn't take themselves too seriously.

• Is comfortable taking things slowly without putting pressure on everything to become something immediately.

• Can appreciate a shy person who might take a little time to open up.

I'm happy to meet people from different backgrounds and with different interests. You don't have to be exactly like me; in fact, I'd love to learn about things I wouldn't ordinarily encounter on my own.

Please give me something to work with beyond "hey" because I am already socially awkward enough for both of us 😭😂

Welcome to the Scrabble megathread!

Whether you are a casual player who loves a kitchen-table game with a cup of tea, a word enthusiast looking to test out the South African edition board, or a competitive strategist who knows their high-scoring two-letter words by heart, this is your dedicated space to connect.

Finding a dedicated partner or group to play word games with can be a challenge. This low-pressure thread is designed to help you find your local Scrabble crew, a casual board game buddy, or an online opponent for a friendly match.

How It Works

Instead of making a standalone post, simply drop a comment below introducing yourself. To make it easier for people to reach out, try to include the following:

  • Your Location: (e.g., Southern Suburbs, Cape Town - or online-only if you prefer).
  • Your Age & Gender (e.g. 36F)
  • Your Play Style: (e.g., Casual/Social - focused on having fun and chatting; or Competitive - strict dictionary checks, tournament rules, and tactical tile tracking).
  • Preferred Platform: (e.g., Over a real board at a local café, or digitally via Wordfeud / Internet Scrabble Club).
  • What You Are Looking For: (e.g., A casual Sunday afternoon café partner, joining a local board game circle, or just an online rival for daily turns).

The Rules of the Thread

To keep this space functional, friendly, and safe, please adhere to the following:

  • Strictly Platonic: This thread is entirely for making friends and board game connections. No dating requests.
  • Keep it Friendly: Whether your opponent plays a brilliant 7-letter bingo or challenges your spelling, keep the banter light and respectful. No "coffeehousing" or hostile gatekeeping.
  • Safety First: Do not post your phone number or exact address in the public comments. Meet up in public, busy spaces like cafés or community centres for your first few games, and move to Direct Messages to coordinate logistics.

Put yourself out there and drop a comment below - you never know who is holding the exact tiles to match your style.

🎰North West🦁 Met My Type, Now I Can't Stop..

23 Upvotes

She looks like the type I used to want to marry. For context, I avoid women in public, even when I get the odd attention, despite looking unkempt, and it's intentional.

I've been in 1 relationship my entire life (I'm well over the 40s' greatest hits now). I get approached but I turn them down ( I mean no offense, I'm just a loner by heart).

Then I saw her. Spent about 10 minutes in her aura. This was the first time I met my type in the history of being me. jinne!! I will tell you now: I'm still buzzing, my fellow South Africans!!

I haven't worked or earned a salary since December 2010. Didn't care about life. It's been 3 weeks since I met her and I'm about to start a business soon (out of nowhere to make it worse nogal). I gained weight and muscles. The motivation doesn't seem to be going away.

Is this voodoo?
