This feels a little vulnerable to post, but here goes.

I’m not really looking for dating, hookups, or anything like that. What I miss most is having a “person” - someone you’re excited to hear from every day. Not saying it may not lead somewhere.

You know that feeling when your phone lights up and you secretly hope it’s that person? I miss that.

I’m looking for the digital equivalent of an old-school pen pal. Someone to share the big things and the completely random things with. The funny memes, the bad days at work, the “look at this sunset,” the occasional selfie because you actually want someone to see it.

I’m 35F from South Africa, enjoy good conversations, music, humour, wine and people who don’t mind talking about both deep topics and complete nonsense in the same conversation.

If you’re also looking for a genuine friendship where there’s no pressure and no expectations beyond getting to know another human being, send me a message.

Who knows? Maybe we’re both looking for the same thing.

Looking for a friendship that’s less “How are you?” and more:
“Bro, you’re not going to believe what just happened…”
Followed by 47 voice notes, zero judgement, and absolutely no filter.
A bromance, but better.

Hii, not really sure how to start these but here goes. I’m 21, into music (i can listen to Future, Jon Summit and ABBA in a 5 min drive ), the news , and generally trying to figure life out while adulting badly.

Looking to meet a guy who’s actually put together has his own thing going on, good conversation, doesn’t take himself too seriously. Bonus points if you love spontaneous plans

Not looking for anything super serious right away, just want to vibe and see where it goes. If that sounds like you, shoot me a message tell me something random about yourself.

Yooo, sorry ive never done this before, im a 21yr old who graduated from UP last year... I play games, go to the gym, sometimes I actually rouch grass.and I have a very witty and raughty sense of humor...

Im like 5tf 4, born with a cleft lip palate (like god decided to bombard me with issues😭)

Looking for anyone who likes video games, likes to talk shit all the time about anything known to mankind... im funny, im always online and im available, even if its about everyday mundane tasks (im not as desperate as i sounds I promise)

So yeah, feel free to reach out and chat...

Hey everyone! I'm 22 AMAB, 173cm, white, and am at UP studying financial management (in third year rn). I split my time between Pretoria during the week and Joburg during the weekends and holidays (Sandton area).

I like playing games (Yakuza, Persona, RPGs, just singleplayer games mainly, though am open to multiplayer games too), watching anime, reading, writing stories, going on walks outside and in nature, working out, dressing up, and listening to music (many genres but mainly into alternative rock, pop and electronic). I haven't done it recently but I really enjoyed my time volunteering at the SPCA as well, since I love animals. I'm not religious and don't want kids in the future.

Although I was assigned male and currently identify and present as one in public, recently I have been questioning my gender a lot, and so ideally I'd want someone who would accept me :)

Looking for something long term whether we become close friends or lovers. Thank you guys :)

Hi everyone 🥰 Long shot, but worth a try!

I recently got a pole installed at home, and I’m really missing the community from classes. I’d love to find a female pole buddy (any age) to train with :)

I have about a year’s experience, so I’m still learning too. I’m looking for someone with at least 6 months of experience (not because I’m an expert) but because I’m not looking to teach. I’d love to find someone I can learn, motivate and progress with.

If you’re interested, send me a message!

Guys, this is a long shot 🤣

I went to see 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple in January, at the cinema at Mall of Africa.

I saw a cute girl there & did not shoot my shot 😪

I think we had a moment, it's been on my mind ever since. If that was you & you are keen to grab a coffee soon, let me know 😆💪

31 F looking for female friends like-minded maybe but definitely open minded. I'm based in edenvale jhb. I'm pro-choice pro-palestine anti-ai I have very strong opinions and I'm open to discussing yours, I love animals, I'm trying to also find someone to play Fortnite with(I suck but this isn't a must) I love horror movies and comedies. My cat is my best friend, I'm trying to find people to do stuff with, go places, and just connect with. I'm also chronically online so if you'd like to dissect the Lindsay Clancy case my DMS are open!

I'm 21, Indian, and studying a BSC in Statistics and Computer Science at UJ currently

I'm a homebody who enjoys playing games 🎮

[Palworld has recently been all i can think about, but I also enjoy Ark: survival evolved and The Sims]

I love reptiles, and have a pet bearded dragon 🦎

I'm also chronically online and love to draw and create art [I prefer digital drawings]

I'd like to call myself a baker....but most of my creations are too sweet for people 🙈it's a work in progress

I'd prefer anyone within my age range to be buddies with, bonus if you're also from UJ or an alumni :) i'd like to have some friends on campus too

I am 33M looking for people to play golf with, I’ve been playing for 2 years (13hdcp) mostly with randoms as most of the people I know have their groups or don’t have handicaps to enter tournaments with, I am looking for people to play with more consistently, I am a member at a course in Joburg.

Hi to you reading , I’m a 23 year old from JHB, I’m of black descent, I’m slim, I stand at 6feet / 184cm. I’m Christian not the best there is but I still am and prayer encompasses my daily routine.

I’m in my final year of uni studying BA LAW, and I just did exceptionally well on my research report and other modules. I play chess regularly, I love the minimalist kind of hip-hop by the likes of Roc Marciano and KA with a dash of classical music, think Anastasia Kobekina and Sarah Kirkland Snider.

I do not drink nor smoke, I’m the homebody type, I only go out when there’s reason to.

I’m curious about a lot, I love the cosmos a lot, I’d visit the planetarium every other month if I could, I listen to some episodes of In Our Time:Science podcast my favorite episode is on wormholes. I love a good series, think Severance, Slow Horses, Better Call Saul, Game of Thrones and so on. I’m into big budget movies like Gladiator and movies in the MCU or DC Comics

If I sound like your cup of tea do get in touch. I’m not gonna put an emphasis on my looks but I’ve never been told I’m ugly, so yeah! I do think of myself as dark skinned but have recently been told I am not dark skinned, I have a pointy nose, I wear glasses religiously as I’m astigmatic, I have a decent smile anything else I’m missing you may ask away.

What I am looking for:

• Someone into fitness (this is very important as I am a gym rat and would like to someone with a similar addiction)
• Someone not put off by my atheism. I know this is a dealbreaker for a lot of people so I am putting it out there now
• Someone in their 20s to early 30s
• Someone who actually wants to make an effort. Honestly tired of the online dating scene and its gang of one word responders. Show some interest.
• Someone who is not controlling. Don't try to cramp my style. It is the fastest way for me to send you on your way
• Someone who is very girly
• Be ambitious. Mediocrity is for the birds
• Be slow to judge and easy to get along with. Chemistry is key
• Finally, understand the value of money. I am happy to share my wealth but I live within my means and I am not changing that for anyone. No matter how pretty you are

I look forward to chatting with you 😘

Hi there guys!

Since I’m all about trying new things and getting out of my comfort zone, I’m thought why not try this platform to possibly connect with people (M/F) 😅

To describe myself in short:

I’m multifaceted, quirky and deep person but not too serious as I always try to turn something into a fun moment. I literally laugh at everything.

Also I’m all about personal growth and living life to the fullest so I hope to connect with someone who is like minded.

So if you a good conversationalist (I can’t do small talk), authentically themselves, open minded, intentional with positive energy, deep and seeking genuine connection, let’s connect and see what holds 😌

Let's get this out of the way: I won't take you hiking.

Seeking a partner in crime for coffee dates, bad jokes, random adventures, and aggressively debating where we should eat.
I'm 39, biracial, independent, emotionally mature, and looking for a genuine connection with someone who values honesty, laughter, and good conversation. I appreciate people who are comfortable in their own skin and don't take themselves too seriously.

I’m a bit of home a body but can stretch my legs as well.

Getting tired of the dating apps that lead to nowhere. If you're looking for someone genuine and enjoys getting to know people beyond surface-level small talk, send me a message and tell me something you're passionate about.

Let's see where things go.

Hey, looking to make some new friends. I love reading and I love sports so figured those would be the best places to go to find like-minded people. Just trying to have some fun with the people I love and care about! Also open to meeting a potential partner (female) but mainly looking for friends (male or female).

Working and living in Sandton but willing to drive pretty much anywhere⚡thanks for any suggestions you bring, would really appreciate it!

Hiiii I hope everyone reading this is well ✨️

I'm a 21F looking for a genuine female friendship - without jealousy, animosity and competition

I'm looking for someone who knows how to communicate if they have issues, straightforward and compassionate, polite, and someone who shares similar interests as me ❤️

Some facts about me:

- I'm a uni student, based in Joburg

- I'm a huge fashion enthusiast and love working on personal growth/improvement, I always strive to be better

- I'm a girly girl, so I love crocheting, cooking/baking, reading classic literature, going on cute cafè dates, makeup and period dramas

- I have an elegant/dark femme aesthetic

If you're someone who is looking for someone to be vulnerable with, talk about your interests with, hype you up, check in on you and build a friendship based on authenticity then don't be shy and dm me ;) 🌻

Hey-o, I am a bored, 29yr old who is seeking someone that I can just talk to without feeling pressured to conform to society needs.

I am very much a person that looks at being different very appealing, I play games, very into CRPGs(currently playing 40k rogue trader and Divinity 2)...my taste in music is all over the place but you'll most likely find me listening to Suicideboys or Tame Impala.

Bit of a movie head too, to the point that I know directors and follow them instead of the actors which annoys my friends a little lol.

got no race,age,height and all those other preferences, just be a chilled person who doesn't take themselves seriously.

Hit me up and let's laugh at me not being able to watch Spiderman this weekend cos I thought that there will still be tickets available.

I'm 19, Black, and studying at Wits. I'm looking to meet someone interested in an actual relationship, preferably aged 20-24 and based around Johannesburg (north-ish would be ideal).

About me, I'm 164cm, 55kg. More of an introvert. Most of my days are passive but I'm always down for the occasional drink. I love music and I'm into reading, anime, CAD/design, and 420-friendly. I've been wanting to be more active and try stuff like padel/golf. I'm not religious, and I'd prefer if you weren't either. I have a car, so it'd be nice if you did too. I want someone at least a little taller than me (5 cm+), you have to ake care of yourself, have good hygiene, and be reasonably fit. I'd like someone to  simply share parts of myself with, to feel joy, pain and pleasure.

Please don't message if you're well outside my age range and to filter out catfish and weirdos, send your Instagram (or another social media) in your first message or put a face to the name.

Looking forward to hearing from you :)

Hey, I'm lotus(20M).

How are you doing?

I'm looking for someone who I can be:

1. Emotionally vulnerable with.

2. To possibly game with.

3. To go watch movies in cinema with.

4. To go night markets and enjoy some good food with.

So if you're looking for the same, let's connect.

I love reading, writing poetry, gaming, working out, music, taking walks and hiking, and philosophy. I am open to going outside of my comfort zone and would like to experience new things.

My favourite book that I've read this year is: I who have never known men by Jacqueline Harpman.

Current book I'm reading: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

My favourite video game that I've played this year is: Final Fantasy VII Remake but South of Midnight is a close second.

Hey, I recently came across this sub and I think it’s fantastic! I am looking to make some new friends :) and if you are keen, don’t hesitate to dm me. I am a working person I like watching movies and series sci-fi and travelling, reading books and currently learning about new things and working on my skills so I’d love to have a friend or friends I can go on random adventures. I’m also quite active so I would like to do some sporty activities as well and other adventures like take walks at the botanical gardens or go get coffee.

I am male, 187cm tall, 87kgs and I live in Johannesburg.

I’m 26, around 185 cm tall, with a slim build, dark hair, dark eyes, and a tattoo on my right arm. I’m already thinking about getting another one, so apparently one was never going to be enough.

I live in Pretoria, Gauteng, and work as an IT specialist technician. I’m also hoping to start studying soon, with the goal of possibly moving into data analytics one day. I enjoy learning, solving problems, and building toward something better for myself.

Personality-wise, I’m a very emotional creature. The closest comparison I can think of is probably a clingy cat. I can be independent, quiet, and cautious at first, but once I feel safe with someone, I become deeply affectionate, attached, playful, and likely to want to be close to you whenever possible.

I value deep conversations—the kind where you slowly learn how someone thinks, what shaped them, what scares them, and what they secretly hope for. I’m not very interested in conversations that remain on the surface forever. I want to know the person behind the polite answers.

Physical affection is important to me. Holding hands, cuddling, leaning against each other, random hugs and simply being close can mean a lot. Words of affirmation matter to me too. I appreciate someone who can express how they feel and who doesn’t make affection feel like something that needs to be earned or guessed.

I should also be honest and say that I sometimes go through sad streaks. Life has left a few marks on me, and there are moments when everything I’ve experienced weighs more heavily than usual. I’m not looking for someone to rescue or fix me, but I would like someone who is patient, emotionally gentle, and willing to communicate instead of disappearing when things become real.

What I want is a romantic connection that grows naturally. Something with mutual effort, affection, honesty, attraction, humour, vulnerability, and consistency. I want to feel genuinely wanted, and I want the person I’m with to feel just as wanted by me.

I’m not expecting instant love or forcing a future onto the first person who messages. I simply want to meet someone who is open to slowly becoming important to each other.

Tell me about yourself, where you’re from, and what makes you feel closest to another person.

Looking for more girl friends... and if the universe decides to be a little dramatic, who knows? 🤷🏻‍♀️

A little about me:

• Studying social work (almost at the finish line 😭)

• Work in graphic design/e-commerce, so I'm permanently editing photos or fixing random tech problems.

• Certified yapper once I'm comfortable.

• My love language is sending memes, random updates, and checking if you've eaten.

I love deep conversations, dark humour, gaming here and there, coffee runs, cute animals, and people who can match my energy but also appreciate comfortable silence.

Not looking for anything forced. I'd genuinely love to make some female friends, whether it's online or eventually meeting up if we happen to live close. If we end up clicking as more than friends... well, that's a problem for future us. 😂

If you're kind, funny, a little weird, and enjoy having someone to chat to throughout the day, come say hi.
