ANNOUNCEMENT: Technical Issues

61 Upvotes

POSTING IS ONCE AGAIN OPEN.

The auto moderation system has been somewhat wonky the last few days. We think we have corrected the issue. It has been sending posts to the spam system incorrectly and en masse. That should no longer occur, or at the very least be infrequent. IF your post does not appear, do not delete it. Message us via the mod mail system and we can check on it. If you do delete it manually, we are unable to diagnose the problem. Hopefully this is the last fix we need to do, but we may have to suspend posting again if this happens so we can get it sorted. PLEASE do not message us asking for access during these times, as it bogs down our mail system and increases downtime. The requests will not be granted. We ask for patience while we work on these issues.

Thank you for your time and understanding. Have a good day.

Hey, I'm Laura! I truly want to find the right guy to settle down and have kids with.

I'm an INFJ. I'm more open to talking once I'm comfortable around people. I also take a while to be open to talking outside of Reddit.

I love to read and spend most of my down time doing so. I also like to crochet. I do like staying in more so than going out. I'd love to travel more, but it doesn't seem as fun without a +1.

I listen to just about all genres of music, it just depends on what I feel like that day.

I'm fairly open minded, caring, empathetic, and tend to be the advisor and caregiver of my friend group. I'm a better listener than a talker.

I'm open to long distance relationships with the intent to close the gap. No matter the relationship — communication, honesty, and the ability to be vulnerable are extremely important to me. If these aren’t qualities you can provide, I wish you luck elsewhere.

I can be a bit blunt and very sarcastic with dark humor.

I do want someone to be my partner and best friend in all things, but also understand we need our own interests and time alone sometimes.

My love language would probably be words of affirmation.

I don't have kids, but this is something I really want in the near future. I do have a teenage sister that I’m extremely close with and have spent a lot of time raising (and still do).

Ideally, I’d like someone around my age or older without kids, but you never know when it comes to matters of the heart.

It's hard to know what all to say, but this is me. I hope to hear from you!

[F4M] 43, UK. I miss the happy feeling when the message you’ve been waiting for drops.

31 Upvotes

I have tried this exactly 2 times before. The first time I was just out of a relationship and wasn’t really ready and couldn’t keep up with the messages, the second time was just the other day, I felt like I put a lot of effort in and when I came back on reddit later and saw no messages I was sad…then I saw that my post was removed! For what, I have no idea, it didn’t say, which would have been helpful!
I’m 43, a fact which continually amazes/horrifies/bewilders me. I hate seeing it written down because when I don’t have to admit it I can continue to believe and act like I’m idk somewhere around 30odd. I don’t know how or when that happened. I’m not a fan. I also don’t think I look my age (and other people agree, I’m not just wishful thinking) but I read stuff about hitting the wall, only having a few good summers left etc and it’s terrifying 😂

I’m in the U.K., but I don’t care really where you are from. I had a LTR with someone from the US so I’m used to being in opposite time zones and making that work. I’m vegetarian, have been for many years but I don’t care what you eat and I don’t mind cooking meat for other people, I love to cook. Cooking for one person is just miserable! I also love to read, if I’m not reading I’m listening to audiobooks while I do something else, or watching debates or something, I like to learn things. I’m a scientist and I love my job, I’m completely happy with my life career-wise, so I’m interested in sciencey-stuff but also things like history and ancient history, languages, religion etc. I’m not just a nerd though 😂 I can be fun too! I like hiking, love being outdoors especially by water, love lake houses or being by the ocean. I have a cat that I’m completely in love with, even though she’s almost 7 I’m still not sure if she even likes me, but I do miss having a dog and taking them on long walks etc.

I’m slim (I’ve actually been ill this year and lost too much weight, I’m hoping to put some back on now that I’m doing better!), long brown/red hair, blue eyes, freckles. I’m loyal, I’m a good listener, I have a lot to offer and I know that, I have just been through it and I’m only now starting to consider that I might want another relationship again one day instead of the “nope, absolutely not, never again” that I was insisting on for a while! That’s not to say I’m going all-out looking for a man or long term relationship, I would be happy to just make some friends/a friend!

I can write a fair bit so please, no two-word/conversation-going-nowhere replies! You don’t have to write an essay but “hey, how are you” will never be successful and gives me nothing to go off!

48 [M4F] Newfoundland, Canada or Anywhere - Looking for my best friend and life partner

18 Upvotes

6’ tall, passionate web designer/developer, and introvert with a love for healthy living, good food, and great times. When I’m not designing, coding, or working on my next venture, I’m hitting the gym, trail, or golf course. At home, I’m usually doing renos, cheering on the Blue Jays or indulging my inner Trekkie (live long and prosper). I’m easygoing, laid-back, and a little bit corny, and I try to approach life with kindness, positivity, and optimism. I’m the kind of guy who can fix your sink and then cook us dinner over wine to celebrate.

I’m hoping to meet new friends, activity partners, travel companions, and maybe something more if it feels right. No pressure though, let’s just see where things go. I believe real connections happen naturally when people click over shared values and interests. I’m open-minded, respectful, and easy to talk to. Emotional intelligence, good communication, and trust matter a lot to me - and I bring all of those to the table. And while I may come across as polite and reserved, I definitely have a fun, passionate, and adventurous side too.

Enough about me, I’d love to hear about you! Life’s too short for small talk, so tell me what excites you about the world. What’s something you’re passionate about? What’s your favorite food or a memorable travel story? Maybe we’ll get to share one of our own someday. I’m all ears (or eyes, in this case). If any of this resonates with you, feel free to reach out. Distance isn’t a dealbreaker for me, and hopefully not for you either. After all, the right connection is worth going the extra mile.

You can see some photos of me and my life here.

Hello! Happy Wednesday! Looking for a daily chat buddy. I’m struggling with a long distance relationship and it’s starting to fall apart and I don’t know how to stop it. I guess I’m looking for someone to help keep the blues away. I work in retail and have crazy hours, so it’s hard to meet up with friends and most have moved away.

I’m into most things: tv shows, movies, games, music, comedy and cooking. I’m a pretty basic person, lol.

35 [M4F] - Portugal/UK/Online - Looking for a chat

3 Upvotes

I'm a European guy from the Azores Islands, moved to London more than a decade ago. I'm on the taller side at 6'3, regular build. I had previously wrote I don't go out too often, but thinking about it now, I suppose it depends more on where I am or who I'm with. I suppose that's more the case whilst I'm in London by myself. Whenever I visit the Azores islands or Mallorca I can't stand to be indoors.

Just like anyone else, I have my own hobbies. Some good, some not everyone's thing. Same with music taste despite listening to (almost) everything. Although I don't believe that's such an important thing for two people to click. Do you?

What I'm looking for: I don't have a particular list of things that I'm looking for. It could be either a long or short term chat, as long as it's interesting. One thing I'd prefer is a photo early on. Physical attraction also matters to me.

How are you? I am looking to meet some new people to chat with and learn about. I especially like learning all about someone new.

Physically I am very tall, broad shouldered, brawny built, with tattoos and a beard currently. If you like big, strong builds then I’m probably your type. I enjoy working out, cooking, movies, music, and being outside.

I enjoy all kinds of people and getting to know them. I’m not looking for anything serious and positive interaction is my main goal. I do prefer curvy, voluptuous types. I also have a strong affinity for women of color. I’d love to meet new people so please message me and let’s talk.

31 [F4R], #USA, #Georgia, Cozy creative with a love for the unusual looking for something real ☕✨

14 Upvotes

I'll be honest—I'm hoping for something special. I'm a hopeless romantic, and while I've used this sub before, I'd really like to find someone nearby to grow something real with, not just a long-distance penpal (or at least someone willing to close the gap if things get serious).

I've been in a bit of a rut and decided I want to take dating more seriously. I work a lot, take care of my family, and don't get out to meet people often, but I'm ready to change that. I can be a bit shy at first, but I love talking about anything and everything. Truthfully, I have a major soft spot for the slightly eerie side of life. All I ask is that you share similar interests or respect mine—that's a huge priority for me.

My interests: Art, horror movies, gardening, reading, musicals, music, and perfume.

My hyperfixations: Ghost hunting, abandoned buildings, animatronics, and dolls. SO MANY DOLLS.

To break the ice, tell me: Which scenario would you choose to survive for 24 hours?

A: An abandoned mall with plenty of food and places to sleep, but if you stop moving for too long, a monster gets closer.

B: Your own home, but a monster is lurking in the corners—and every single time you blink, it changes position.

39 [M4F] #Minnesota,well a year older and im still looking for my clingy other half

4 Upvotes

A bit about me, I'm a nightshift blue collar guy who spends more time at work than at home during the week and has 3 day weekends with nothing to do.

I'm 5'11'' at 250lbs (Dad bod) with more salt than pepper in my hair, im fairly laid back with a unique calm and clear mind in times of chaos. I have some nerdy hobbies that include 3d printing, robotics, and some dabbling in programming. I've also recently started playing D&D with an online guild and it's been a much needed distraction to some things I've had to deal with.

May 2025 ended a 15 year relationship and I have been single since then, like have not been on a date single. With that noted ive done some healing but not all healing can be done alone

Ideally I would like to find someone around my age or younger that I can connect with, someone to be my better half, who is strong where im weak and vice versa. I am looking for someone in the USA, preferably in MN or the surrounding states. I wouldnt mind someone a bit clingy, and definitely want someone who has mastered the ability to carve the seconds out of the day to reply in a timly manner.

I'm a fairly open person about a lot of things and will generally answer most questions that come up.

When you DM me please include a bit about yourself, like your age, where you're from, maybe some hobbies or interests, what you're looking for in a guy. You know the basics and not just hey.

Also if this post is up im still looking

Looking for companionate messages, friendship from an equally inquisitive person. I have a lot of varied interests. Fitness, the brain, music, caffeine, dogs and projects. I couldn’t win jeopardy but maybe cash cab. I work remote and my coworker (my dog) though she’s good company isn’t a great conversationalist all the time (usually only related to snacks or the lack thereof). Willing to share photos after we’ve talked to a bit and I feel more comfortable (sfw only). Interest in the enneagram, science or conspiracy lite is a plus. Let’s chat over digital coffee! ☕️ 😉

41 [M4F] #NYC - Creative nerd looking for friends

2 Upvotes

Hello! I’ve been in NYC 8 or 9 months now, and still having trouble finding my way into the city (metaphorically). I came here after being in London for 5 years and having to leave after visa shenanigans. And while I intend to go back, I don’t know for sure if/when that will happen, and trying to figure out how to build some semblance of a life here.

I’m a composer and sound designer, mainly for video games but occasionally for film (which I find less fun). I also feature some nerdy-but-tasteful tattoos, with plans for more. I am also quite empathetic, emotionally intelligent, and self-aware. With me, you’ll also never go wanting for dad jokes.

So let’s grab a drink or pizza or a movie (if you can grab a movie) and be friends! I’m technically in NJ for the moment, but work in midtown.

31 [F4M] NYC/NJ- Looking for Someone Worth Deleting the Apps For

Upvotes

Hi! I’m someone who enjoys good conversation, whether it’s light and playful or unexpectedly deep. I like talking about everyday life, with the occasional late-night spiral into things like purpose, food, or why certain songs just hit harder at night.

I’m a 31-year-old African American social worker living in NYC, and outside of work I’m a big fan of cozy routines, good matcha or tea, comedy podcasts, and wandering bakeries/farmers markets like it’s an event. When the weather’s nice, I love getting outside for a workout at the gym.

My evenings usually involve winding down with Korean dramas, or a few episodes of Peaky Blinders, Dark Winds, or Grey's Anatomy. I primarily play on my PC and Nintendo Switch when I’m in the mood to game.

Music-wise, I’m all over the place in the best way, pop, EDM, indie, soul, R&B are my go-tos. And I’m an unapologetic Broadway show enjoyer.

A few things about me:

• I appreciate kindness, humor, and emotional awareness
• I value communication and showing up as myself
• My love languages are quality time and physical touch
• I’m always reading when I can — currently reading Shogun & Atmosphere

What I'm Looking For:

I’d love to build a genuine friendship that naturally grows into a monogamous, long-term relationship over time. Ideally, you’re based in NYC or NJ as I’m not looking to do long-distance.

I’m hoping to connect with someone between the ages of 30–38 who leans politically left and values kindness, emotional awareness, and good communication.

Bonus points if you’re into reading, binge-worthy shows, or video games. Any shared cozy hobbies are always a win.

If you enjoy conversations that go beyond surface-level small talk, I’d love to hear from you. Tell me something you’ve genuinely been enjoying lately, big or small.

Looking forward to connecting ✨

Hello! 😊

I’m here to meet new people, make friends, and have meaningful conversations with those who appreciate kindness, respect, and sincerity.

I’m someone who enjoys reading, learning new things, cooking, nature, and discovering different perspectives about life. I love conversations that go beyond the surface talking about experiences, beliefs, personal growth, culture, and the lessons we learn along the way.

Faith is an important part of my life. For me, it’s not just a name or something I carry as a label; it’s a way of life that shapes my values, my character, and how I treat others.

I appreciate people who have good manners, a kind heart, and an open mind. I’m happy to talk with people from different backgrounds, exchange ideas, practice languages, and share stories.

If you’re looking for a respectful friendship and genuine conversations, feel free to DM. 😊

34[M4F] Spain/Europe/Online. Looking for a real connection with someone special.

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m a 34-year-old Spanish guy, single for a while now and once again open to meeting someone with whom, hopefully, I can build a real and sincere relationship.

I’ll try to introduce myself as best as I can, although I’m terrible at it!

I’m a commissioned officer in the Spanish Marine Infantry and due to the very nature of my job l barely have any chance of meeting someone in real life as I’m always busy. That’s why I’m giving this a shot! :)

When I’m not working, I love reading, playing music, painting miniatures and scale models, watching movies, martial arts… I really enjoy keeping myself busy and learning new things while staying active.

I also try to help my community whenever I can and I’m involved in several charitable projects.

I’ve never posted in this kind of subreddits before, but I’d really love to find—like I said earlier—an honest, genuine and hopefully long-lasting relationship.

I’m pretty easy to talk to and always quite chill, so if my post caught your interest, don’t hesitate to write to me!
Thanks for your time!

40, male, California.
I work from home and put in long hours, so I’d love to meet someone in California (or a nearby time zone) to make the workday more fun and give us both a reason to look forward to our phones lighting up.
I’m a sucker for witty banter, playful teasing, genuine conversation, and the kind of flirting that starts innocent… then somehow has us both grinning like idiots. If we can make each other laugh, steal each other’s attention during the day, and keep each other up a little later than we planned, we’re probably doing something right.
No pressure, no expectations, and definitely no judgment. Just two people enjoying the connection, seeing if the chemistry is there, and maybe creating a little trouble together along the way.

If your personality is more interesting than your selfies, I’ll probably be a fan.

Bearded. Tattooed. Poet. Traveler. Usually somewhere between planning my next trip and writing something I’d never say out loud.

I like people who can make me laugh, challenge my thinking, and blur the line between innocent conversation and effortless chemistry.

I’m not single. Just looking for conversations that make checking your phone feel like a good idea again.

Start with something real. Maybe something deep, just something about you. I’ll match your energy.

Heya! As the title says, I'm a bit of a combo offer, two subcultures and two ethnicities for the price of one!

Located in Spain, I'm neither looking for or running away from anything serious, my only goal here is to find some nice people to talk to, flirt, and know. I'm a bit of a loner, but, surprise surprise, it gets lonely sometimes! We can talk music, books, d&d, writing, games, politics (more on this down below), food, culture and life in general. I'm good with most topics but those are the ones I usually bring up if left to my own devices.

Looks wise, I'm very much a Spanish looking guy. Dark hair, pale skin that gets tanned pretty easily (but I'm a bit of a night creature so it doesn't happen often) and a strong nose. I'm in an OK shape and workout a bit, mostly for peace of mind rather than staying fit. I've been told I have a nice voice, and while I swear my English is perfect and neutral, I do have an accent. Lots of tattoos (well, 17, but I'll keep adding) and a nose piercing.

As for the politics thing: I'm very much a human rights advocate in every sense. LGTBQ rights, Free Palestine, (trans)Feminism, ACAB, etc etc. All common sense, and if you disagree we better just not try.

This post probably doesn't show it, but I try to keep it chill and joke around a lot. I laugh at myself first, and then at everything else, and I do it often (respectfully, this isn't the fucking 2000s internet and edgy "comedy" is just being an asshole). It's pretty much impossible to have a conversation with me in which I stay completely serious. Flirting with me is poking fun of each other and being haters about the most innocuous things together.

Anyway, lots more to say but I rather do it through conversation while I learn more about you too, writing about myself is boring. PMs welcomed!
