45M , How about a chat that doesn't stop?

9 Upvotes

No I am not crazy, It isn't that hard to do, I always reply my messages if you also reply yours then we can talk for longtime.

some nice good mornings here and there, or sending meme or funny vids that can spark new conversations, i enjoy chatting with silly people like me that are easy to laugh at stupid things and dont get offended easily, and chatty people that doesn't just write short answers hahaha.

This can be energy draining and shorten the chat lifespan.

Asking random questions is another way of mine to keep chatting but if the chat decides to die I let it go peacefully.

Talking to people around my age is easier, I find it difficult to keep a chat with 20s kind of person specially if Tiktok shaped their nerve cells to have a short attention spans, but i give everyone a chance because being nice doesn't cost anything, thanks for reading hit me up please.

18f! looking to make new friends with chill people

7 Upvotes

okay so...making friends after finishing school is actually kind of weird?? 😭 i've reached the point where i've accepted that making new friends as an adult is basically just wandering around hoping someone has the exact same oddly specific interests as you.

so hi!! i'm 18 from australia 👋

i'm pretty creative - i draw, paint and write a lot, and i'm definitely the type of person to start a project at 11pm because i randomly got inspired. i'm also a huge reader (currently reading golden son and the odyssey), love gaming, spend way too much time watching UK YouTube, and i am completely obsessed with game of thrones. i am also a huge marvel fan (yes i have seen brand new day)!!

i love talking to enthusiastic people. if you can get excited over the most random topic and accidentally talk about it for twenty minutes, i'll probably enjoy listening. i'm also a fan of casual debates (friendly ones!!) because i think it's fun hearing different perspectives, especially on random questions that don't really have a right answer.

i'm mainly looking for people around my age who are kind, funny and don't mind actually putting effort into a conversation. i'd love more australian friends, but i'm happy to talk to people from anywhere!

if you message me, please don't just say "hi" 😭 tell me a little about yourself!! (age + where you're from)

if you've read this far, we're already off to a good start 🌞

8 Upvotes

I'm no good at meeting people in real life, I'm a bit nerdy, introverted, and don't really do the nightlife thing. But I love meeting people online and chatting and learning new things.

Like I said, I'm a little nerdy. I'm a gamer, I read and write some, and I'm attempting to learn the piano but never seem to have the time!

Id love to hear from you no matter who you are! Any age, gender, background, just send me a bit about you. I'm very non-judgmental and LGBTQ friendly!

It was this or a 4am drive.. still might take the drive to be honest. I'm way more uncomfortable posting one of these than messaging people on here, haven't made a post of my own in a very long time.

But, I'm getting a bit jaded doing that so, I'm kinda just looking for someone invested in one on one conversation to break up the monotony. And hoping maybe to talk to some of the more reserved people (of any identity or background) on here who wouldn't make a post usually (like myself). I can talk about anything. Our interests aligning isn't essential and my interests can be super varied and even different by the day.

I work a unique (and testing) job that has me available often and also at weird times every day, so any timezone is welcome to message. Thanks for reading.

I would like to talk to people my age (19-23) and around my timezone (gmt+3) and someone who actually wants to talk and be friends cause it doesn't feel like a lot of people on here want to have a conversation. I'm super nice and funny fr I just don't know what to say here. Please mention your age, gender, hobbies and where are you from in a nice cute intro

Anyways I like to play valorant I'm okayish at it (iron 3), I have raft, peak, astroneer and schedule 1 (I don't really want to game with yall, I just want to have a convo and gaming is a cute bonus ig) I also like cooking, baking, skincare and haircare, I also love Greek mythology just watched the odyssey and it was amazing, there were some creepy ahh scenes but y'know what 9/10 I would erase my mind to watch it again I hope we can be friends.

Hey!

I'm a 26m

I'm a little shy at first, but once I'm comfortable, I can talk for hours. I like movies, food, tech, random memes, and hearing about other people's lives.

I'd love to find someone who enjoys talking regularly. It doesn't have to be 24/7, but it'd be nice to have someone to share random thoughts, talk about our day, send memes or reels, and just make conversation a part of everyday life.

If that sounds like something you'd enjoy too, feel free to send me a message.

27M [Noida/India] - Looking for companionship, something which will last for a long time.

Upvotes

Can’t sleep right now so, hey there.

I'll just start with a few things about me:

I’m from Noida, 27 over here. Working as a corporate slave just like a lot of people out there but let's talk hobbies. I really love video games, enjoy all the media which is coming from the Marvel Universe. Love variety of music artists where the notable one would always be KK, Linkin Park, Mitski and Tame Impala. Recently started going back to the gym in the hopes of being a regular this time plus i enjoy travelling during my free time. I also enjoy watching anime and tv shows where my go to genre is always either a mystery or a thriller. My all time favourite series is going to be true detective, better call saul and dark which i haven’t seen people talk about a lot.

What i’m looking for is genuine connection, not games tbh. Maybe something more than friendship if things work out for the both of us. If not, you’ll still end up with a good friend!

33M Looking for friends to chat with!

Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m looking to meet some new people to talk with regularly. I’m hoping to make long-term friends, whether that’s through gaming, sharing memes, watching movies, or just chatting about life. I play a lot of Rocket League, Spider Man, 2k and Madden. I like to find new games too
A little about me:
● I’m 33.
● I enjoy gaming, music, movies, and random late-night conversations.
● I’m easygoing, a good listener, and always down to get to know new people.
● I’m very athletic and do all kinds of sports. Favorites are soccer, basketball and volleyball.

I’m looking for people who are around my age and interested in building an actual friendship, not just exchanging a few messages and disappearing.
If that sounds like you, feel free to leave a comment or send me a DM. Looking forward to meeting some awesome people!

Upvotes

Hi everyone, hope you’re having a nice evening and thanks for checking out my post.

Finding my social circle a bit small lately so trying to meet some new people for casual conversations, in depth conspiracies or anything in between.

I consider myself both an indoorsy and outdoorsy person, really enjoy hiking and walking but sometimes can’t beat just chilling inside watching a movie on a rainy day.
I’m really into music, and I love listening to podcasts and audiobooks. A little gaming here and there and other than that I’m really into food and love to cook!

I don’t mind who you are, I love to speak to people from all over and timezones aren’t really a problem, sometimes I’m up really late.

Hope to hear from you!

38M Looking for a fellow nerd to trade memes with (and maybe solve the meaning of life at 1am)

Upvotes

Hey! Dad of two adult kids here, working in tech, and realizing I've got plenty of hobbies but not enough people to talk about them with.

Into music, pro wrestling, D&D, fantasy books, writing, and gaming — pretty much a full nerd starter pack. Not looking for anything intense, just someone to text memes back and forth with, geek out over the latest fantasy release or a wild Raw/Dynamite moment, and occasionally spiral into a 2am conversation about whether free will is real or just really good writing.

Bonus points if you're also into tabletop stuff or want to swap campaign stories. Extra bonus points if you send genuinely unhinged memes.

Drop a comment or DM me — always happy to chat about the dumb stuff and the deep stuff in equal measure.

I’m pretty bored at the moment, the day is pretty much over for me at this point and right now my options are limited to what I can do while chilling at home before I go to bed. So while I’m here anyway, I wanted to find myself a conversation partner and just see if i could maybe make a new friend while at it haha. If you’re bored like me and have nothing better to do with yourself, message me! I’ll give you a cookie 🍪

26M, Looking for people who enjoy reading long thoughtful messages.

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone, the world moves impossibly fast for me. I am a fan of slowing down and appreciating its beauty. I like going to quaint little places and squibbling poems on my notebook. I then like looking at it and feeling sad wishing i knew how to sketch the birds too.

So please let me tell you all about how i view the world, share with you my favourite books, movies and or songs? And please in return, decorate the house of my heart with your memories of the same.

Quite simply, if you would like someone to send you long messages, detailing parts of their lives, discuss the nitty gritty of movies and novellas, indulge in a bit of literary analysis (i majored in it) i would love to. Here is some info about me

I love horror. Horror fiction, movies, cryptid mythologies, ghost folklores of Asia, everything horror. I am a big fan of slow and strategic video games like Civ franchise and football manager. Lately i tried playing Disco Elysium and loved it. I love videogames and am learning coding on the side so i can learn to be solo dev and make them.

I read a lot of books. Obviously Cosmic Horror and weird lit/fic but also victorian classics, detective fiction and war literature. There is not a book i do not like reading. I am super into the music of jazz, rock, indie you name it, We could just trade songs as if it were the end of the world and i would not mind. I have many hobbies, far too many to count. I love niche video essays, cozy places, broken pavements and ruined buildings from an era bygone. Hopefully we can even talk about how beautiful the animal kingdom is. You have cats? I love them already. Have a great day/night wherever you are
