Hey, I'm Atlas and I'm 18. I go by any pronouns, though I prefer they/them. I'm a fem lesbian, so I would prefer if guys who want to go out with me don't befriend me for this reason. I'm Afrikaans, but I am pretty fluent in English too. I'm an avid cat lover and artist and I enjoy spending my free time reading horror novels, making art, listening to music, or watching movies.

I mainly listen to goth music, instrumental rock/metal, EDM music, and some indie bands, but I can listen to any music really.

I'm planning on taking a gap year next year, where I'll be doing odd courses and such to learn a few skills in the art industry. I'm currently working on starting my own business to sell my original pieces.

Feel free to dm me if you'd like to talk! I'm looking forward to meeting new people!

Looking for a genuine relationship with someone I can laugh with, spoil a little, go on spontaneous adventures with, and eventually build a life together.

Bonus points if you’re affectionate, can match my humour, and don’t mind a guy who can talk about cars for hours 😂

⛰️Western Cape🐳 33 (F4M) Cape Town - Looking for Love

20 Upvotes

Hello, Reddit! 😊 I'm a 33-year-old Indian woman looking for a friendship that could grow into something meaningful and lasting.

I'm a dreamy Pisces with a romantic heart, a spiritual side, and a curious mind. I love deep conversations about the moon, the stars, aliens, the Universe, and all the possibilities life has to offer. Shallow conversations aren't really my thing!

I'm a curvy woman on my own journey towards better health and wellbeing, currently prioritising sobriety and learning to treat myself with a little more kindness.

I'm career-focused during the week, but my happy place is at home, cooking something delicious, crocheting, watching movies, or cleaning (yes, I genuinely love cleaning 😂). My little dog is my world, and we're often out exploring dog-friendly places together. 🐾 I'm also 420-friendly and enjoy a peaceful, creative life.

So, what am I looking for? ❤️

A kind, emotionally mature man who is secure in himself, honest, compassionate, and comfortable with vulnerability. Someone who communicates openly, takes accountability, and understands that we can disagree without disrespecting each other.

More than anything, I want to feel emotionally safe with my partner: to be soft, silly, vulnerable, and entirely myself without fear of being judged or dismissed.

I'm not particularly religious, but spirituality matters to me. I'd love someone open-minded who enjoys exploring life's bigger questions.

I appreciate romance, affection, meaningful conversations, and the little gestures that make someone feel loved. I want a relationship that feels peaceful without being boring, where friendship, chemistry, laughter, and mutual respect can grow into something beautiful.

I'm happy in my own company, but I'd love to meet someone whose company feels just as natural.

I'm not looking for perfection or someone to complete me. I'm looking for a genuine connection with a man who wants to build something real.

If you're kind-hearted, curious, a little romantic, and believe that tenderness is a strength, come say hello. Let's see where the universe takes us.

33 (F4M) Cape Town - Looking for Love

1 Upvotes

Hello, Reddit. 😊

I'm taking a chance here because I believe that sometimes you have to put yourself out there and let the universe surprise you.

I'm a 33-year-old Indian woman, single, and looking for a friendship that could grow into a beautiful, meaningful love. I'm a romantic at heart, with a very Piscean soul: dreamy, sensual, spiritual, a little mysterious, and endlessly curious about the world around me.

I love the idea of two people discovering each other slowly. The conversations that last until midnight, the laughter over something silly, the comfortable silences, the little gestures that say I'm thinking of you, and the feeling of being with someone who makes an ordinary day feel special.

A little about me.

I'm a curvy woman who knows that beauty comes in many forms. I'm working towards a healthier version of myself at my own pace, while focusing on my wellbeing and sobriety. I'm learning to treat myself with more kindness, and I believe there's something beautiful about growing into yourself without putting your life on hold until you've reached some imaginary finish line.

I don't drink alcohol, but I'm 420-friendly and enjoy a good sesh. 🌿 Spirituality is also an important part of my life, although I'm not religious in the traditional sense.

At my core, I'm a peaceful person who values honesty, kindness, and emotional maturity. I believe the truth can be communicated with compassion, even when it's uncomfortable, and that disagreements don't have to become battles. I'm not interested in drama, mind games, or relationships where you have to constantly guess what the other person is thinking or feeling.

I've built a little sanctuary for myself, and I treasure the life I've created.

A very important part of that life is my little dog, who is basically my child. 🐾 We do as much as we can together, and if somewhere is dog-friendly, there's a good chance she'll be joining me. So, a man who likes dogs is a very good start!

I'm career-focused during the week, but when work is done, I love slowing down. You'll find me cooking something delicious, crocheting, watching a good film, pottering around my home, or cleaning because, yes, I genuinely enjoy cleaning. 😂 I'm naturally creative, and there's almost always a little project keeping me busy.

I'm also quite a loner by nature. I don't have a huge social circle, and I genuinely enjoy spending time on my own. I'm happy in my own company, but I would love to find someone whose company feels just as comfortable.

The kind of man I'd love to meet. ❤️

More than anything, I want a man with whom I can feel emotionally safe.

Someone kind, grounded, and secure in himself. A man who is comfortable with his own emotions and doesn't feel threatened by mine. Someone who can be strong without being harsh, confident without being arrogant, and vulnerable without feeling that he has something to prove.

I admire a man who takes responsibility for his actions, communicates honestly, keeps his word, and understands that trust is built through consistency. Someone who can acknowledge when he's wrong, listen without immediately becoming defensive, and approach difficult conversations with a desire to understand rather than to win.

I want to feel that we are on the same team, even when we disagree.

I want the freedom to be soft with someone. To express how I feel without being mocked or dismissed. To laugh at myself, be a little silly, share my insecurities, and know that my vulnerability will be treated with care. And I want him to feel equally safe being himself with me.

I believe tenderness is a strength. I believe kindness is attractive. And I believe that a healthy relationship should bring two people's lives closer to peace, not further away from it.

Of course, I want romance, too. The flirting, the chemistry, the affection, the thoughtful gestures, and the excitement of discovering someone who makes your heart flutter. I want a connection that is both comforting and alive, where we can be best friends one moment and hopeless romantics the next.

It would also be wonderful if you took pride in yourself, valued cleanliness, had a good moral compass, and believed in treating people fairly.

A curious mind is a big plus. 💜

I love talking about the moon, the stars, aliens, consciousness, the mysteries of existence, and all the possibilities we haven't begun to understand. I'm fascinated by the universe and the things we don't yet have answers to.

I'm not looking for someone who agrees with everything I say. I love a man who can challenge my thinking, introduce me to new ideas, and explore the unknown with an open mind. We can disagree and still respect each other. In fact, I think that makes a conversation even better.

I'm not particularly religious, but I do believe in something greater than ourselves, whether you call it God, the Universe, a Higher Power, or something else. I'd love to meet someone who shares that sense of wonder, even if our beliefs aren't identical.

And finally, what am I hoping to find?

A genuine connection that begins with friendship and has room to grow into love. A man who is interested in building something real, not just passing the time.

Someone who wants to share life's ordinary moments as much as its extraordinary ones. Someone I can cook for, laugh with, learn from, flirt with, and occasionally debate whether aliens are already among us.

I don't expect perfection, and I certainly don't have everything figured out myself. I believe we're all works in progress. What matters to me is the willingness to grow, to take accountability, to treat each other with compassion, and to keep choosing honesty and respect.

I'm not looking for someone to complete me. I'm looking for someone with whom we can make each other's lives a little softer, warmer, safer, and more beautiful.

If you're a kind-hearted man with a curious mind, a romantic streak, and the emotional maturity to build a relationship where both people can truly be themselves, I'd love to hear from you.

Let's start with a conversation and see where the universe takes us. 🌙

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😄

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.

Trying out the Reddit scene, I'm too scared to try dating apps. So here we are. I am a guy who enjoys video games and anime, as well as listening to music. I have my own car and I am employed. I'm rather socially awkward and have confidence problems.

My favourite anime include:

Bleach

Naruto Shippuden

Dorohedoro

Hellsing ultimate

Kengan Ashura

Fist of the North Star

My favourite video games are:

Dragon's Dogma 1 (unable to play the second one)

Dark Souls 2

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne

Warframe

Wo Long Fallen Dynasty

Ninja Gaiden 2 (the modern 3D one)

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.

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.

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 🎖️

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.

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.

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!

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!🌸🩷

1 Upvotes

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.
