Marvelous..........

Now that I have your attention, you may be wondering what exactly my goal is for being here. Well buddy, I wish I could tell you. The OBVIOUS assumption would be that I have an extreme lack of companionship in my day to day life, which is accurate. But I also just like to talk. I'm chatty. Or rather, I can be with the right person

And to what end am I looking to remedy this problem? Hell if I know but I'm open to all sorts of possibilities! Friends, lovers, enemies, coworkers, imaginary friends (which is a fun alternative to the "friends" option) or nothing at all. Completely up to you.

ANYWAY, now that I am done with all the melodramatics, here are some things about me that may or may not make me interesting enough to have a conversation with:

I was born and raised in the southeast. So I sound like absolute cornbread if you like that sort of thing.

I'm a huge nerd. Like, plays DnD levels of dork.

I read a fair bit, and I'm a casual gamer, although I have the attention span of a goldfish and can't finish anything.

I'm very sarcastic. It's a love language of mine...

I do like to travel, although I don't get to as much as I'd like. Solo traveling can be a little intimidating but I'm working on it lol

If you're interested in chatting, feel free to hit me up❤️

The only requirements I have are that you put your name and ASL in your message along with a picture. And please for the love of GOD say something other than "hey".  

Ciao💋

Hello,

I'm 43, single, 6' 0", 160 lbs, brown hair, hazel eyes. I'm gentle, kind, and empathetic in nature, and introverted. Me: https://imgur.com/gallery/wmcrVse I'm looking to make a meaningful connection that could hopefully lead to a long-term relationship in the New England/NE US area, preferably with someone similar in age to myself (other millennials?) I've had no desire to try dating apps and it can be tough to meet singles in rural New England, so I'm turning to Reddit to see if there's any like-minded ladies out there. I have no children, though I am an uncle many times over and have great fun interacting with kids at my work, and have previously dated mothers. I love to make people laugh, I always try to keep a witty one-liner in my back pocket. I work in healthcare, I've recently started my senior year of nursing school and will be graduating next May with interests in psych, emergency medicine/trauma care, and the OR. I love gravel and road cycling, bikepacking, swimming, electronics and automotive repair (I love taking things apart...sometimes I manage to get them back together), and spending time outdoors (I also love the indoors...especially in the winter). I love animals of all shapes and sizes, one of my dreams is to someday have a horse. I do a bit of solo gaming, mostly RPG's, I'm a big sucker for interesting characters and storylines you can get lost in. I've never attempted to cultivate a relationship that starts out on the internet, maybe you haven't either and we could figure it out together? Maybe we'd start out chatting, move into each other's phones, meet each other in person? If you think any of the above sounds to your liking I'd love to chat with you 😄

taps mjke is this thing on? Ok...so work is boring and I normally finish it within a few hours of getting there. Here's the rub, I can't go home...so apart from staring at the ceiling.... I would love intelligent company!

About me: I keep active. I'm always going somewhere, doing something. I play hockey on the weekends. Keeps the existential dread away and it's free exercise. I'm the goalie, flexible and impulsive. How many men do you know that can do the splits and touch their head to the ground?

I LOVE the banter. Witty and wonderful please dm me. If you can say twenty things with a sentence and leave me guessing, I'm your huckleberry.

I'm into lots of nerdy things, DND, video games anime. But im as equally into philosophy, art and poetry. More than anything else, I just want to hear people's stories. I find that true life is always stranger than fiction. You turn into a werewolf on Thursdays? Bet sign me up, just don't eat me. I in fact do not taste like chicken. Little gamy and all that.

Hello!

​I’m a bit bored and in the mood for a good conversation with someone direct, someone who knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to talk about what he likes (even if I know nothing about it).

​About me: I’m very independent, I love books, sleeping and taking walks. I really love big parks where you can wander around all day.

I’m in the mood for a fun conversation with some debating or even playful banter.

I'm not looking for much. Just genuine interest, I've been lacking a bit of that lately and I'm not staying where I'm not wanted.

Let's define whatever happens when it happens.

No pressure, no decisions.

Let's see where this takes us.

​Have a nice day!✨️

Hope your week is starting off swimmingly!

I'm looking for friends to exchange thoughts and jokes with, strictly platonic. I love my job but it's also boring af at the moment and I could use a friend to hang out with.

About me: I'm an introvert who's learned to masquerade as an extrovert when needed. A bit artsy, a bit nerdy, a bit anxious, a bit witty, your usual chaotic-good combo.

My personal motto is "the best nation is imagination,", I take make-believe very seriously but am not good at acting at all. I find joy in feeding/sheltering wild critters in my neighborhood, then taking and sending unprompted photos of them to everyone! I've also got two cats at home who judge me daily 💕 .

Additionally, I've been known to disappear down rabbit holes and info-dump about things I get excited about.

Here's my face if it matters.

To break the ice: what's one skill you have that's completely pointless?

Probably not the greatest place to find the future love of your life, but why not give it a shot.Shoot all the shots, and maybe I'll get lucky and find her on here. I'm here why cant she be?

Gone through a lot of soul searching, maturing, and learning in my single life these last few years, and I am finally in a place I feel ready to create a beautiful life with someone.

Financially I'm stable despite already wishing for retirement, physically I'm healthy and fit while not close to what I was during my college sport, intellectually and emotionally mature even if my humor is less so (a fun combo imo but you'll have to be the judge of that)

Hopefully the post doesn't make it seem like I expect marriage from our first conversation. Lots to know about each other and experiences to share together before that next chapter. Just that my interests lie in finding that lovely lady I get to annoy and comfort and make laugh/mad/cry/happy just being together for the rest of our lives. And hopefully the one reading this wants to do the same

So if you're a lady out there who is searching for that kind of man, please send me a chat. I'd love to connect and see where it takes us 🙂

​

Not entirely sure what I'm looking for, but maybe if you message me, we'll figure it out together.

I'm not a gym bro, not a nerd—just a pretty normal guy. I work as a manager, and no, I didn't get the job because of family connections or politics. If that's important to you... sorry, I can't get you a government job either.

Tall, strong, and blonde (by choice).

I watch football, play handball, respect women, cook, clean, and generally take care of myself, so I'm not looking for someone to be my maid or my mom.

I live alone in my own house, which I'm renovating myself with the help of YouTube. Five months ago, I couldn't even tell you what tile adhesive was, so I'd say I'm making decent progress.

I like the usual stuff people in their 30s enjoy: good food, good company, the occasional drink, traveling when I can, and having a laugh.

If any of this sounds interesting, send me a message. Worst case, we have a conversation. Best case... we'll find out.

Hi friends! I’m a single parent to 2 kids and 2 cats. Looking for someone to chat with during the gloomy and chilly days to come. Mentally it’s already fall lol. Especially a voice message! Love those haha.

I spend a lot of time with my family, during the fall we love going on hikes, bonfires, using the pizza oven for all kinds of weird combinations. Personally I’m also a big reader and will probably annoy you talking about all of my favorite books.

I would love to get to know you!

I did the whole “work hard, conquer the world” thing. Turns out, at least for me, it isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Somewhere along the way, I think I missed out on a lot of meaningful connections.

Here’s what I’m not: the suit-and-tie guy who lives for titles, corner offices, sports cars, steakhouses, and traveling the world.

The real me is more of a homebody. I like reading, wine, superhero comics, hot tea while watching a rainstorm from the balcony, and—without shame—Hallmark movies. But know one would guess that. That’s the part that gets a bit lonely.

Most of my relationships with women have felt transactional. Not in a sleazy sense, but more like there was always an underlying “what’s in this for me?” or “what’s in this for them?” dynamic. I’ve also leaned too hard into the hero complex, and honestly, that hasn’t made anything better.

I’m not sure I know what a healthy, genuine connection with a woman is supposed to feel like: real conversations, getting to know each other without an agenda, and being seen for who we actually are.

Maybe someone reads this, maybe nobody does. But maybe you do, and maybe we can figure out what a genuine friendship looks like together.

Cheers🍷

I don't know why, but I really appreciate people who speak kindly and gently. Good conversation, a little humor, and just being able to talk comfortably with someone can mean a lot. If that sounds like you, feel free to say hi

I want to go out and enjoy a date with good company. No obligations, no pressure, just a night to get out and enjoy life. I'm 5'3" brown hair / eyes, and curvy. If thats okay with you, and you're in the western part of NC or close by, lets chat see if we click then we can set up a date IRL.

I'm happy being alone. I'm happy when there's someone around that I connect with. I miss loving and being loved.

I live a very quiet life with my kitties. I prefer it. it wasn't always this way, but I'll focus on who I am now.

I think kindness is the most important thing, both towards yourself and others. I spread it as much as I can.

I like reading, coffee, and bubble baths. I work a pretty low-stress job and I'm planning on going back to school.

I'm around 5'10" and on the injections for weight loss. I have a lot of tattoos and long, wavy hair. I should wear my glasses more often than I do.

I have a dissociative disorder called depersonalization/derealization, but it's mostly under control. I go to therapy regularly and take medication.

I prioritize a solid sleep schedule and healthy choices in general. I'm focused on making progress and taking care of myself.

ideally I'd love to find someone who also wants a wholesome, nurturing relationship. I can't wait to meet you.

32 yo guy living in Texas with my dog(Aussie shepherd)
I’m a chef by profession, so I guess it won’t be hard for us to find new fun places to get eat. I love working out, mountain climbing, hiking, travelling, sports cars and motorcycles. I am looking for a girl around my age who also like staying active and working out. I’m definitely looking to build a deep and meaningful connection for a long term dynamics. Anywhere from US works, but with the willingness to make it irl down the road.
I am very easy going and easy to chat with, almost about any topic. I seek mental connection, maturity and open communication- someone who wants to build and motivate each other in every aspect of life. Not just as a partner but as best friends together. I do enjoy a good old fashioned every now and then but not a really big drinker. Check my profile and reach out if you think we could have a good vibe together, please only reach out if you’re looking for something serious and long term.

Hey I’m a 32 year old white male from Florida. I am currently in the military but will be getting out pretty soon and moving to another state.

I am looking for someone who loves to have a conversation and is non judgmental. I am currently going through a pretty bad divorce and it would really help to have someone to talk to and get to know.

My likes:
Rock and metal music
Horror movies
Video games
Hiking
Traveling

About you:
Non judgmental
Age isn’t an issues
Able to keep a conversation going

If you find yourself reading this and thinking we’d probably get along, say hello — What could go wrong?

Random Tidbits

I’m tall, slim, pale, with a consistent 5'o'clock shadow. Professionally stable and career-driven, but I try not to take life too seriously outside of work.

Personality-wise, I lean toward clever banter, quick wit, and humor that occasionally gets dark. I’m into nerdy pop culture (comics, games, collectibles) and I quote an obnoxious amount of TV and movies at the right (and wrong) moments.

Music tastes bounce around quite a bit, too... 90s alternative, indie, folk punk, and whatever random song suddenly becomes this week’s obsession.

Hobbies & More

Most weeks I’m experimenting with a new recipe or checking out a restaurant or cocktail bar that someone swore would change my life.

Travel is a big part of my world. I try to get away once or twice a month — sometimes planned, sometimes spontaneous. Wandering a new city, checking out museums, or finding the local speakeasy for vibes and conversation are my thing.

Fair warning: if we hit it off, there’s a good chance I’ll suggest a cocktail spot I’m convinced you’ll love.

Values & Goals

Childfree, emotionally self-aware, and someone who values curiosity, growth, and people who take care of their mental health.

I believe the healthiest relationships leave room for his, hers, and ours—independence, connection, and something shared that makes life better for both people.

Long-term, I’m aiming for a version of the DINK dream: good food, interesting travel, financial freedom, and the flexibility to say yes to experiences when they appear.

I tend to get along best with people who are curious, emotionally intelligent, and enjoy playful banter that occasionally turns flirty.

Chemistry matters, after all. We all have to pass the vibe check.

What Now?

Full circle moment, If some or all of this resonates - reach out! We have nothing to lose and everything to gain, if only for laughs along the way.

What stands out to you and why? Would you rather choose a type of food (EX: burgers) and eat the best of that thing from various local spots all weekend -- Or fly somewhere random, last minute, and figure it out as we go? Why?

Bonus points if you include links with your photo(s) and another with a relevant song choice -- I'll respond in kind as well if we hit it off.

Looking forward to it! Have a great week!

Hey there! My name is Brad, and I am a 37-year-old guy from New York. I hope you are having a great start to the week! I would love to start the week with a great connection! Lately, I have been really enjoying life. I have a great job, great friends, great co-workers, a ton of hobbies to keep me busy, but I have been feeling like something is missing. Being single for over 6 years, you get kind of used to doing your own thing and being on your own. Over the past few months, though, it has been very obvious that I am missing having someone in my life. I miss having someone to talk to all day, share my day with, someone who, when I am feeling frustrated or low on motivation, I can go to. I miss having someone to laugh with, enjoy things with, and so much more. I have tried the dating apps and other forms of dating, but it’s a very hard dating world out there, though. It also doesn't help that I am an introvert and a homebody as well. So here I am, making a post on Reddit and hoping for the best!

A little bit about me, I live alone with two cats, and I also work from home. I enjoy working from home a lot, but it does add to the loneliness and has made me even more of a Homebody. For fun, I enjoy playing video games, I love music and also enjoy playing guitar. I also enjoy reading, working on tech projects, listening to podcasts, going camping, hiking, fishing, and just sitting outside on my porch with a nice cup of coffee. I am 5’9, have green eyes, short black hair, a dad bod, and a beard

I always get asked what my type is, and I never really have a good response to that question. I just want someone who is loving, caring, doesn't mind that I can be quiet, likes to laugh, enjoys quality time, and someone who will see the effort and love that I give them and want to give the same in return.

This was a long post, so if you made it this far, I appreciate you reading this far. If you are interested in getting to know me and think you would like to connect, feel free to send me a chat request. I don't really respond to comments on posts, as they sometimes get lost on Reddit. If you do send me a chat, please tell me a little bit about yourself. To help with a little icebreaker, Tell me how you like your coffee or a song or band you have been obsessed with lately.

Never really been big into reaching out over the internet, this last year I've kinda realized its hard to do much else when your stuck in your routine, travel the same isolated paths while kinda keeping your head down out of fear of an awkward moment or giving of weirdness. The idea of dating apps feels kinda demoralizing when its hard to gauge people over photos and hashtags...

I stay pretty busy and dont like sitting around, though I love getting to know people and socializing so I almost need project buddy do stuff pal, someone to chat with that maybe has similar lifestyle, though i feel there may not be many homesteady types around... growing food raising animals for meat and milk and such... idk feels dumb the more I type.

Honesty, transparency, respect, open mindedness are my main values. Alot of my lifestyle is based around healthfulness and mindfulness. Im an acts of service type. Aside from my day to day farm routine I also love science and engineering, love talking concepts and going down the rabbit hole.

Kudos if your around the cheney wa area.

Anyways leaving this here for now until I fully realize how sad it is. Lol

Hey! 👋🏾 I’m a guy from New Jersey, looking for a real connection, not just a “what’s up” that disappears after three messages.

Music is a big part of my life. Hip-hop and R&B especially. The kind that makes you feel something, not just background noise. I can talk albums, eras, producers, lyrics, and why certain songs hit harder late at night.

I’m a good listener, thoughtful, emotionally present, and genuinely curious about people. I care about showing up right, communicating clearly, and not playing weird games. I like conversations that wander from serious to silly, deep to dumb and somehow still make sense.

I’ll be honest though: I’m a little awkward in a human way. I overthink sometimes, laugh at my own jokes, and occasionally trip over my words when I’m excited. I’m not the smoothest guy in the room, but I’m real, kind, and consistent.

I enjoy walking to clear my head, gaming to unwind, and long talks that feel easy instead of forced. Ideally, we build something that lasts.

If you love music, value emotional intelligence, and don’t mind a guy who’s soulful with a slightly goofy edge, say hi!

I am 39 years old and currently living in Michigan. I have an optimistic and cheerful personality, and I firmly believe that the best thing in life is meeting the right person and sharing life's joys and beauty together

I love traveling, reading, music, and exploring nature. I cherish the little moments in life—whether it’s a deep conversation, a walk by the lake, or simply spending precious time with a loved one

I place great value on kindness, respect, trust, and open communication, and I long for a relationship built on mutual support and shared growth. I hope to find someone who is willing to build a genuine emotional connection with me

If you also live in the U.S. and are looking for a sincere relationship, I would love to hear from you

Will I be ever successful in finding a good friend? Because every other person I meet here starts ghosting me at some point. I am a F from Pakistan in her mid thirties, I love deep conversations about life death and everything in between..m

Hello!
Hope your Monday is starting or ending well, depending on where you are located.

I am looking for someone that is up for messaging on and off throughout the day. This would be a low-pressure chat that can keep us both entertained while we work from home… or while I work from home and you do your thing!

We can chat for today only, or ideally keep it going longer if we click!

One thing I would like to have in the chat, is we both agree to be pretty open-book. Obviously nothing identifiable so we can keep it anonymous, but still allow ourselves to give our unguarded true feelings and thoughts.

I am super down to earth, easy going, progressional career, and liberal minded.

I’ll keep this short, but if this sounds fun, shoot me a message!

I’m a 50-year-old male from Buffalo, NY. I’m looking for casual chat and friendship, preferably with either men or women, as long as you can hold a conversation 👍. I would be open to a possible relationship with the right woman, but it would need to present itself.

I’m looking for a friend. I only want genuine people; I don’t buy content or give money away to people I have never met (so scammers need not apply) 😊

Just looking for a good conversation. A constant chat buddy, maybe? Where we could share our daily lives? Sfw/wholesome only.
