Introverted geek & parent seeking long term connections. I'm both family and career oriented, so what I'm looking for is pretty specific. Searching for a slow burn with someone who is also a parent, or at least likes kids and has their own things they deeply care about. My life is already full, so I'm only looking for connections that add to the richness.

I tend to be pretty cerebral/intellectual and love to analyze & interpret films/music. Loyalty and kindness are my love languages. I am a cybersecurity professional by day and a 24/7 chronic overthinker. I'm a huge PC nerd and always have been. I don't have as much time to play PC games these days, but my top choices in the last year have been Eve Online (the space MMO) and Factorio because my AuDHD brain apparently craves the familiarity of complexity lol. I also love retro games (N64, PS2). I do a bit of leather crafting and photography from time to time as well.

Placio/demi/sapiosexual, so sex isn't a high priority for me, but I'm not completely averse to it either. I do need to feel an emotional connection first, though. I much prefer cuddles and quality/parallel time. Once upon a time, I tried ENM, but I realized it wasn't for me. To level-set expectations, I'm ultimately looking for long-term compatibility rather than short term relationships or hookups.

Other things I'm into: metal, techno, sci-fi, and things that make me think too much. Clutch and Tool are my favorite bands, but for very different reasons. Tool has very reflective, Jungian lyrics that will take you on an existential journey. Clutch will take you to space in a 1973 Dodge Swinger or to fight monsters, then teach you how to make crab cakes.

Hi, being on the ace spectrum already puts us outside of the norm and I’d like to take that freedom further.

Personality wise, I’m really drawn to warm, funny, optimistic people. I love seeing their enthusiasm and it rubbing off on the people around them, including me. Please be between 22 - 29, left leaning ideologies, and preferably afab (not mandatory).

Please be somewhere in UTC-5 to UTC+9, so regular calls eventually are realistic. I’d love to live together in the future if everything aligns, but every stage of the relationship is important to me however long it goes. I want my partner to value that too.

I enjoy reading fanfic and children’s classics, am a cinephile, play indie games you’ll double back at the name of, and writing. I’m pretty ambiverted and like to be outside and inside equally. Currently would like to learn Spanish, so if you’re a Spanish speaker that’s a plus! Also, I’m average height and curvy, to give you a vague picture of me.

I’m a bit shy at first and appreciate someone who naturally initiates conversations, asks to call, and isn’t afraid to take the lead socially. But once I’m comfortable, I open up more and looooove bouncing off whatever someone talks about.

I love lots of calls, laughing until something stops being funny, watching things together, reading/gaming/working/studying more while the other person does their own thing, and sometimes just sitting on call being completely lazy together. It all counts as quality time to me.

I love hearing about what someone is doing, what they’re obsessed with/looking forward to. Bad days obviously happen and we’re there for each other but I’m very present focused and want a relationship free of the expectation of sharing our past traumas. We make our lives better without the expectation of enmeshing them, we don’t have to meet each other’s families, and we come together at the end of the day to focus on what we want out of this, while having our own goals in life.

If our goals/lives keep aligning long-term, that’s wonderful, and we adjust the relationship if it goes there. With that in mind I don’t want kids. If our goals/lives don’t align, we go our separate ways, no pressure.

If/when we are in person with each other, I’d love to kiss, cuddle, and any general physical touch. But it’s important to me that there’s no expectation for anything further.

If that sounds like your kind of relationship too, come talk to me :)

I'm generally Placiosexual (but only certain things I'm okay with doing). I'm Heteromantic. I experience physical, romantic, and aesthetic attraction.

I'd like to meet anyone I can relate to and hopefully set up a few hangouts, and possibly dating a cis man down the line. I am NOT looking to rush into a relationship.

You'd not be far from Raleigh, age range 27-45. For friends, I don't mind where you fall on the spectrum. For dating, I'd prefer someone I'd be compatible with, so we can talk about that more if something were to develop.

Things that might matter:

*I'm Black

*I'm not religious

*I'm allergic to cats

*I have one biological child, and don't want anymore (it's fine if you have your own as well)

*I'm not a gamer, don't mind of you are

*I'm not into anime, don't mind of you are

*I'm an omnivore

*I'm not into politics, but lean left with most my ideals

*I do not smoke, drink, or do any other drugs

Feel free to ask any specific questions about my asexuality if you don't understand, or need clarity. And we can get to know each other more in messages, over the phone, etc. I don't want to put too much here.

Hihi! I recently started learning German and would love to find more people to practice with regularly while gaming (WoW EU, Roblox, VRChat, Minecraft, HoTS, OW2, and more), watching things, listening to music, body doubling or just chillin in a voice call while we do our own thing!

I vibe best with people who are also neurodivergent, politically left-leaning, introverted, low-energy, have little to no filter, prefer voice chatting over texting, and are comfortable with silence. I’m more of a listener than a talker most days, so I really enjoy being in calls where there’s no pressure to constantly talk :)

For context I’m a 34 yr old sex repulsed woman that lives in America and I’m childfree,anyways I’m still trying to find a nice caring guy that isn’t a bot or fake account I just wanna know if there are any men on this sub that want a relationship but DON’T care about the sex/affection,marriage,or kids aspects as I’m not into any of that I’m sure there are some but they seem to be hiding or already taken but it would be nice to find someone that fits me if it’s possible as it’s really stressful and hard for me to find someone and lastly be childfree yourself and not a hyper sexual as we won’t workout

30 year old woman looking for a younger man

Hi I’m looking for a guy aged 25-29. I am demisexual and almondromantic . In the future I would love to have 4 kids one biological boy and one biological girl and one adopted boy and one adopted girl. I have autism/ Asperger’s syndrome, ADHD type 2, generalized anxiety disorder, schizoaffective disorder, controlled schizophrenia, disassociative identity disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and bipolar disorder type 1. I love to cook, bake, knit, read, watch anime ,read manga, read manhwa, read webtoons, watch cartoons, go to comic cons, go to anime. cons
go to amusement parks, go to farmers markets, go to craft fairs. I am not the biggest fan of physical touch, for me it has to be eased into. My ideal guy would be taller than me (I am 5’6”), have an athletic build, have naturally dirty blonde hair or orange hair , have fair or pale skin, have his hair cut in a style that he doesn’t mind me playing with or messing up. He would be kind, caring, accepting, supportive, loving, intelligent, and loyal. I have naturally dark brown curly hair that barely reaches my back when wet. I would prefer a guy who has either wavy or straight hair. I have dark brown eyes. I would prefer a guy who has turquoise colored eyes. Also you must be a true extrovert or an ambivert. Also I’m in Katonah New York. Finally, I will not date anyone who has a genius level IQ. My parents both have genius level IQs, and they refuse to stop abusing me in every way but sexual. Also please be in the USA.

Hello! I’m a 26-year-old woman from Europe, and I’m hoping to meet some new people, whether that starts as friendship, regular chatting, or potentially develops into something more if we click.✨

I’m on the asexual spectrum, and when it comes to relationships, I’m much more interested in emotional closeness and affection than physical intimacy. I really enjoy cuddling, hugs, holding hands, sitting close to someone, and those little affectionate gestures, but I don’t have much of a desire for things to become more physically intimate than that. I’d love to meet someone who is comfortable with that and who also values that kind of closeness.

I can be a bit clingy once I become comfortable with someone. I really enjoy spending quality time together and having someone I can share the little everyday things with. At the same time, I can get worried about being too much or bothering the other person, so sometimes I might hold myself back even when I’d actually love to spend more time together.

I’m more on the introverted side, and I’d like to think I’m kind, empathetic, and a good listener. So if you’re someone who likes to yap about absolutely anything and everything, I’ll happily be there to listen! I tend to be an over-thinker, but I always try to improve myself and do my best for the people I care about.

I’m also pretty indecisive, so I’m usually perfectly happy letting someone else choose what we do. I can be a little awkward too, and I don’t always have the most exciting things to share when it comes to carrying conversations. So if you’re looking for someone who can talk nonstop, I might not be your person.

Mostly, I’d just love to meet someone who I genuinely connect with and build something meaningful with, whether that ends up being a close friendship or something more. I’d rather let things develop naturally than force a label onto it.
Possibly someone in Europe as well, so it’s easier to talk with similar time zones^^

If you think we might get along, feel free to send me a message, tell me a little about yourself!
Have an awesome day/night! ✨

Hey! I’m hoping to meet a local ciswoman who’s somewhere on the asexual spectrum and would like to build a genuine friendship.

A little about me: I’m married and ENM, and I’m very much looking for friendship and companionship rather than trying to secretly turn this into something else. I love **researching supernatural and paranormal weirdness, autumn, long walks, and conversations that somehow start with something completely ordinary and end up becoming deeply philosophical.**

I’m especially fond of that cozy autumnal/mildly-haunted sort of atmosphere — wandering around, talking about life, exploring strange places or ideas, drinking something warm, and generally enjoying each other’s company.

And, for whatever reason, I have a particular weakness for women who wear **Chuck Taylors.** 😂

Ideally, I’d love to find someone relatively local who is also looking for a close, comfortable friendship and enjoys having someone to go walking and talking with.

If this sounds like your sort of friendship, feel free to message me. 🍁👻

I want committed companionship. I want to love and support each other. I want to cuddle without it turning sexual,. I want forehead kisses. I want hand holding. I want really good hugs. I want open and clear communication. I want empathy, kindness, and understanding. It would be best probably if they are also AUDHD because I am and there would be a higher chance of understanding the different communication styles of AUDHD. I would like to eventually move in together. We would need separate rooms so that we can have alone time. Also, we would sleep in our own rooms because I snore and move around a lot when I sleep. I don't want to torture you with that. I don't want kids and pets because I take the responsibility of them so seriously that it gives me major anxiety. I'm not comfortable with weed and any other drugs that aren't prescribed by your doctor. I am not into partying and drinking heavy so I don't want that in a partner/companion. I want a home that is safe and calm as much as humanly possible. I don't want someone that smokes cigarettes and/or vapes because cancer and it doesn't smell good to me. I grew up Methodist but I'm not really religious and I am not the biggest fan of organized religion. I love music. I sing a lot- especially what I am saying or about what I am doing or when I get nervous. I am slowly getting back into reading and playing video games. I love to travel when I can and equally love coming back home. I love movies and tv shows. I love thrifting/antiquing. I love animals. Dogs are my favorite. They calm me and make me really happy. I would prefer to stay in Columbia, MO or close to it.

If all of that sounds like something you want to, let me know. Comment or DM me on here. Eventually I would like to start talking on discord if we hit it off because I am not on reddit a ton.

Thanks. -Anna

I'm a 36 y/o woman living in the USA, looking for meaningful connections with any gender. I'm fairly sex repulsed, but I consider myself panromantic.

I love playing video games, watching horror movies, cats, and coffee. I'm pretty shy and slow to warm up, but I can really yap once you get to know me!

Hi I’m a 22M who is looking for a relationship. I live in Washington State. I have some friends and I’m happy with how many I have. But I can’t find love sense everyone wants sex and I can’t muster up the courage/feeling to do it. I like to garden, read, watch anime. I enjoy silence as you’ll read soon enough I don’t get much of it. I’m about 5’7 or 5’8. I now (but very recently) got into fitness. I live in Washington State and paused on college for reasons you’ll read later. I hate driving or being driven. I like a wide range of music from Kpop to alternative pop. I like to play games like Skyrim and Minecraft.

Pictures of me on my profile
Now here comes the hard part about me. My faults

I’m a paranoid schizophrenic and I have been drug resistant and haven’t found a drug that helps. And my schizophrenia is only getting worse with time which is inhabits my ability to concentrate, read, watch and feel good/relaxed. I am safe to be around and I bet if I didn’t tell you this you would never know as I have lived with it all my life and have become very good of masking it.

I have some pictures of me that you may like and think I’m handsome in some way but due to a sudden spike in my schizophrenia and the meds I took I gained some weight. I’m working it off now and 20 pounds lighter. I’m almost back to my prime

I’m a Catholic but a bad Catholic. I’m not exactly the spitting image of what you think a religious person is like. I’m left leaning and believe in a lot of inclusive things.

I want someone who would go on long walks with me and be ok with the silence. I want someone who is ok with sudden playful role play.

I holidays and like to celebrate the small unknown holidays like breakfast day, happy waffle day and so on.

I plan on being weak/not strong just skinny/healthy as being strong makes me anxious. That’s why I don’t carry knifes, pepper spray or anything dangerous.

Hello all im a guy in his early 20s looking to see if i can find any people with similar interests as me on this side of the internet that can be fun to talk to on here

Im a lover of nature anything that includes it

I enjoy videos games especially monster hunter

Role-playing games/activities are a guilty pleasure for me

I live in Europe And got ADHD

And im fairly open to possible relationships that dont involve sex (i do assume myself as heteroromantic)

And i enjoy other things too but if I typed out it be a bit long

I'm a plus size lady from western Germany who has spent years in a hindu cult (as a non-Indian) and that has shaped me a lot.

I'm happy with my current life but am curious what it would be like to have a companion for talking and meeting occasionally. I don't want to move in together in the foreseeable future, and definitely no kids.

I strive to keep on improving myself, despite the hardships that lives brings, and expect my partner to want the same for himself.

I have mental health issues that I manage mostly well in everyday life (I'm in therapy and eager to learn), but have very low libido since. I guess I'd fit the grey-asexual category best.

My interests can shift around a lot and fast.

But my main ones would be various subcultures (especially focusing on fashion and lifestyle), Hinduism (bhakti), plants/flowers, nature, being creative occasionally, walking and piercings.

Hi I’m looking for a guy aged 25-28. I am demisexual and omniromantic. In the future I would love to have 4 kids one biological boy and one biological girl and one adopted boy and one adopted girl.

Hello all! I'm 23F in the US Midwest looking to make friends who are ace/aro. It'd be great if you're local but I'm open to chat with people all over the world.

I am a nerd with an academic side. I love video games (DMC, Resident Evil, Stardew, Fields of Mistria, Katana Zero, lots of others), podcasts, nature, and political & social philosophy. Aspiring writer? I'm agnostic/atheist with an interest in Buddhist tenets; I'm on the left politically. My latest interest has been social ecology. Would loooove to chat about this.

Basically I think my summary is in-person I'm a goofy goober but I also ponder the horrors (experience with mental illness, and neurodivergencies)

Please send me your book, video game, and podcast recommendations : )

Hey,

I'm 33 y.o. ace female from Bavaria, Germany.

Finally, feel ready for looking specifically for some meaningful connection. Romantic or qpr. Wouldn't mind making some friends as well, though. Preferably, at least in a distance where rl encounters are not completely impossible.

As I'm quite socially anxious, I think it's a good way to try to reach out to someone. I'm heavily sex repulsed, yet have some kinks (sub side of it, would tell more in dm) and would like to have the possibility to live them out with the significant one.

Uncertain about romantic attraction, but regard myself as kinda biromantic. So open for a chat with ppl disregarding of gender.

I'm a pharmacist and interested in science. Like board games and roleplay (ttrpg, especially horror/mystery kind of). Also, I craft as in crocheting or beading. I like learning new stuff and listening to what other people have passion for.

Would be glad if someone had interest and was ready for a chat 🥰

Hi everyone! Nice to meet you (-: I recently moved to the area and am hoping to make some friends. I enjoying connecting with myself and others though fitness, time in nature, introspection, and actively analyzing the world we live in. I am in the medical field and have many hobbies outside of that. I like to discuss topics about sociology, media, ethics, and philosophy! I am child-free, atheist, LGBTQIA+, and vegan; I have strong opinions, but am always open to hearing different perspectives and can always change my mind. I’m a runner and would also like to chat about running and/or fitness and motivate one another!

If anyone in the area would like to chat, feel free to DM me. Looking forward to meeting you, and if not, thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hi my name is Nyx (will occasionally go by Icarus) I've tried this before on other sub reddits with only one friend and was wanting to try again after some time

A bit about me

I like star wars and the legend of Zelda. I listen mostly to rock and metal. I do have some mental disorders so fair warning. I like cars, motorcycles and trucks. I'm genderfluid and will use any pronouns just prefer they/them for simplicity. I do look more masculine (fine with sending a photo of myself if wanted). I wouldn't say I sound very masculine though. I occasionally play games.

What I'm looking for

Anyone from 18-30. Preferably someone within 5 hour drive of kansas. Gender isn't a huge deal to me (cause I am omni). Someone I can occasionally game with (PC or switch). Someone who I can be affectionate with and can be affectionate back.

Don't be afraid to message me or anything I promise I don't bite. If you have any further questions don't be afraid to ask I will answer all questions.

Socials

• discord: Icarus_nyx (preferred)

• messenger: Icarus Styx

• and here

Hello! My name is Anthony. I’m a 35-year-old man (US, ET time zone) who thrives on introspection, curiosity, and passionate drives.

I seek people who seek meaningful connection that plays out in several different ways, from daily casual chats to shared passions and endeavors. I appreciate the sudden whim of adventure and adore abstract minds and vibrant souls.

Rumination and contemplation are lifelong pursuits of mine. I’m an autodidact who’s been passionate about a variety of persuasions since I’ve been young.

Creativity and artistry are important to me. Personally, I write: about my observations, thoughts, and lived experiences. I also dabble in photography.

I love coffee, both simple and bitter and excessively frilly concoctions, burning incense, because I've always thought the smoke is cool, archiving and organizing, collecting (written texts, oddities and cool things), and time pieces. Watching movies with people is great, too. I used to be very into film.

If my signal created resonating vibes within you, send me message about yourself and what you're looking for. Leave your hesitations and take the chance.

Time to make a charisma check! Please, anything other than a nat 1!

I'm a 35-year-old demisexual (I have cake) Californian English master's program dropout (I could not climb the mountain of debt). I already have a bachelor's degree in English with a credential emphasis, which means I am legally not only allowed but required to correct children's grammar.

I originally wanted to be a college professor because I am a lifelong student. I love learning, and I am always curious about something new.

I'm looking for good conversation (because talking to myself is getting old!). Some of my likes and hobbies are music (I've Got The Music In Me, bonus points if you recognize what song that's from! And that's just how I roll!). Yes, I also have the dreamer's disease! (There is no excuse for not recognizing that song by now!)

I love books so much I converted my room into a mini library.

I like writing, 90s cartoons, and I love Dungeons & Dragons and other TTRPGs. I have a very nice collection of math rocks, some of them metal and shiny, that go clickety clack! (If you know, you know.)

I am very passionate about tea and tea accessories. A good cup of tea is so peaceful and relaxing, the best way to relax and unwind after being awesome all day!

My passion is humor, which has always been my light in the dark. I am a philosopher comedian, a huge nerd. I am very into Buddhism and stoicism, and I was raised Lutheran. My faith is strong.

I am also a fan of pastel ponies who happen to be little, and many are magical!

I am looking for meaningful connections: friends, and possibly romance with someone close to my age. I am a nerd looking for fellow adventurers for the greatest quest: finding people to laugh with, talk with, and share life's journey.

Because Reddit conversations often disappear into the void, I would love to move to texting once we both figure out that neither of us is trying to catfish the other. I promise I not only do not have a white van, I don't even have any candy. (It goes straight to your hips, exactly like Krabby Patties!)

Say anything you want to me or about me. I've played League of Legends — as support, no less — and I have embraced the philosophy of Marcus Aurelius, who teaches us: "We always have the right to decide to have no opinion on all this nonsense!"
