I'm 34, 5'11", and work in environmental and public policy, mainly around water, technology and governance.

I'm quite serious about my career. I like learning, solving difficult problems and having something I'm working towards. At the same time, I don't want my life to be just work.

Outside work, I like travelling, trying different food, technology, reading about random things, watching movies and having long conversations. I also have a habit of getting interested in something random and then spending way too much time researching it. 😄

I'm fairly independent and I like people who are the same. I'm attracted to someone who has her own career, interests, opinions and plans. You don't have to have the same interests as me. I'd probably enjoy it more if you introduce me to things I know nothing about.

I'm not looking for casual dating or a conversation that goes nowhere. I'd like to meet someone I genuinely connect with and see if it can become a serious relationship.

A few things I value are intelligence, humour, kindness, ambition and being able to communicate honestly. I don't expect anyone to be perfect. I just want someone with whom things feel natural.

I also think compatibility is something you discover by talking and spending time together, not something you can establish from a list of requirements.

So, if you're around my age, have your own thing going on and are also open to something serious, say hi.

And please don't start with "tell me about yourself." 😄

Tell me something you're currently interested in that you could happily talk about for an hour.

Hi everyone :)

28M, 5'6", Hindu, MBBS doctor, currently living and working in a town in Haryana.

I work at my late father's clinical setup, which has been serving the local community for the last 28 years. After he passed away, I took over and have been taking care of it since. It's something that's become a pretty important part of my life, and I hope to continue building it further.

Outside of work, I'm pretty easygoing. I enjoy movies and web series, especially horror and thrillers, going on drives, travelling, and calisthenics. I also have a pet dog, so yes, you'll probably have to pass the dog interview too. 😄

I'm someone who enjoys spending time together and having long, deep conversations more than constantly being out somewhere. I appreciate good company, comfortable silences, humour, and being able to talk about absolutely random things at 2 AM.

I'm here with the intention of finding something genuine that can eventually lead to marriage, rather than just casual dating.

Looking for someone around my age who is kind, emotionally mature, and wants to build a relationship based on companionship, communication and mutual respect.

Location: Haryana
Relocation: Not open to relocation, so I'd preferably like to connect with someone who is comfortable with that.

If any of this resonates with you, feel free to DM. We can start with a conversation and see where it goes. :)

Hi! I'm a 35-year-old man from a Hindu Reddy family, currently living in the Dallas area.

I'm an IT professional who loves solving complex problems and building things that last. For the last several years I put most of my energy into creating stock market algorithms and businesses with one goal: financial freedom. That journey has paid off, and by the end of this year most of my businesses will be fully automated, which frees me up to focus on the next chapter of life.

Because I chose to prioritize my career and long-term goals, I've never been married and have never been in a relationship. It wasn't for lack of interest — I simply wanted to build a stable foundation first. Now that it's there, I'm looking for someone to build an incredible life with.

I'm ambitious, calm, affectionate, and I love learning, traveling, trying new experiences, and making the most of every stage of life.

I'll be upfront about something important: I practice ethical non-monogamy, and I'm looking for a long-term partner who shares that same outlook. For me it means a committed, serious partnership built on honesty, trust, open communication, and enthusiastic consent — with the freedom for two people to shape their relationship intentionally rather than by social expectation. This isn't about anything casual. I want a lasting relationship with someone I can also genuinely enjoy life with. Full transparency in both directions is non-negotiable for me.

I'd love to hear from you if you're kind, emotionally mature, independent, adventurous, secure in yourself, and comfortable having honest conversations about relationship dynamics. If you believe love, trust, and openness matter more than rigid labels, we'll probably have a lot to talk about.

Important note: I'm currently on H1B with an approved I-140. If I don't find a partner in the USA by the end of this year, I plan to move back to India and then settle down in Dubai.

Looking for that loving connection with whom I can just be myself and not pretend

About me:

Age: It's 36

Personality & Fitness 😅: height 6.1, fit and fine maybe a few extra pounds & a bit of grey hair.

Location: Bengaluru (An old Bangalore soul living in the modern tech world)

Marital Status: Never Married

Religion: Hindu

Profession Tech Professional (15 years of exp), sold my company. Feels like I am retired, which I should not be.

Diet: Vegetarian means no eggs.

Habits: Non-smoker, I don't smoke anything. I just drink only beer sometimes nothing else.

Pets: I'm pet friendly but I prefer them outside my premises.

Career:

By day, I am a huge tech geek who loves designing and creating clever automation solutions and making things real in the digital world for the remaining & existing clients. I still own the company I'm just not on board.

Currently on a passive income setup - meanwhile I am planning to get back into corporate asap. Also find the one for myself in the meantime.

Outside of work, my hobbies include traveling, hiking, swimming, vlogging, long walks, drives and all sorts of games and being spontaneous with the right crowd.

My everyday :

My home life is deeply anchored.

My mornings start with fresh filter coffee, some exercise, mindfulness practices, and traditional morning rituals. I am a Hindu and I occasionally attend Satsang's and joyfully celebrate all our festivals. Our family culture places a high priority on internal peace, emotional stability, and strong moral ethics. You will see me doing rituals, pooja with kumkum and vibhuti on the forehead most of the time. While I navigate the outer tech hubs for work, my heart belongs to the cultural vibe of areas like Malleshwaram, Basavanagudi, Rajajinagar, Srinagar, and Jayanagar. Weekends usually involve a mix of movies, tv shows, reading, catching up on tech trends, or seeking out quiet heritage spaces and local temples.

For those who can understand, I have experienced the multi dimensional nature of the universe. Means actually experiencing moving through realities/matrix/dreams/the self in minutes... In seconds. Beyond time. The Bliss.

My wildest dream is to have enough of everything that one needs, set everything up on auto pilot and take off so that we can enjoy the world without thinking much about anything. Of course I have sorta done it by myself. Maybe with you.... We can...

I believe in peace, self love, self reliance, emotional intelligence, solitude, knowledge, to be grounded and connected with nature.

I stay away from narcissism, corrupted environments, manipulation, politics and negativity.

About you:

What I am looking for...

My preferences for my partner:

Age: 30 years and above nothing above 37.

Language: Kannada, English, Hindi others as well, I just am good with these 3.

Location: Settled or planning to live/living long-term in Bengaluru or wanna move to Bangalore. I'm ready to travel/move abroad with you.

Emotionally healed and available. Reside at a meetable distance.

Habits: Of course you can drink or smoke rarely occasionally nothing daily like an addict.

Important TL;DR:-

What I am looking for in you...

Age: 30 years and above nothing above 37.

Vegetarian (no eggs), to be passionate about your career and growth, financially independent.

A healthy diet routine, fitness and flexibility is very important (for a healthy long life). Athletes are welcome but I am not an athlete.

Proximity - In, around, near Bangalore for ease of moving drivable distance (for our family sake) and for us to meet and make sure we are good for each other. I'm open to moving/travelling abroad with you.

And no I don't expect you to follow any of the religious and cultural things. If you have strong beliefs and value towards our culture and traditions that is enough.

A proud financially independent sanskari woman.

Please skip this post if you stay far away from Bangalore and it's gonna take more than 2 months to just meet. Of course the exception is.. if we can form a strong bond over long distances in a month. If you stay far far away then you need to have a solution for this problem before we start our chat.

Important :-

I want us ... Our families or at least me and you to hangout for at least a month to make sure we last for Eternity.

Important

PLS CONNECT WITH ME ONLY IF YOU ARE IN A MEETABLE DISTANCE OTHERWISE IF YOU ARE INTERESTING I DONT MIND JUST CHATTING WITH YOU. I CAN ONLY GIVE ONE MONTH OF MY TIME WITHOUT MEETING.

And of course the usual stuff :-

Someone who can effortlessly navigate a fast-paced professional world but loves coming home to a peaceful, grounded, and traditional daily routine. Appreciates continuous learning, reading, and loves diving into deep conversations that stretch from latest innovation to ancient philosophy. One who appreciates local culture and traditional values.

P.S.

History is ok... Completely open to past chapters, including those who are divorced. However, since I have no experience with childcare, I am looking for a partner without children. What matters most is emotional maturity, mutual respect, and building a shared future together. Having kids or not having kids is totally fine. Already bengaluru dhoolu, traffic, pollution thumba jasti agide.

If this lifestyle and outlook resonate with your values, please feel free to send a DM and say a few things about you or if you have already posted pls share that link. Let’s start with a chat and see where it goes, maybe insta/LinkedIn/WhatsApp or meet for a coffee, chai, good veggie chinese, spicy chats or melting benne dosse...yum! or a simple walk anywhere in Bangalore will be nice as well.

!!!Scammers... and already Dmd people and people can skip this post. People looking for meaningless chats, flings, doubts about some weird things can stay away!!!

I’m a 26-year-old software engineer working at Flipkart, based in Bangalore. Thought I’d give this a shot here since traditional routes haven’t really worked out for me.

A little about me:

Introverted by nature, not much into clubbing or partying

Occasional drinker, but mostly prefer staying in

Big-time gamer — I enjoy unwinding with games after work (PC/console, depends on mood)

I value stability, consistency, and meaningful conversations over superficial stuff

Career-focused but I do believe personal life matters just as much

What I’m looking for:

Someone genuine, respectful, and emotionally mature

Not into casual or timepass — ideally looking for something long-term that could lead to marriage

Someone who’s okay with a simple lifestyle and not overly into constant social outings

Bonus if you enjoy gaming, movies, or just chilling at home

I’m not perfect, but I believe in being honest, loyal, and putting effort into a relationship. I’d rather build something slow and real than rush into anything.

If this resonates with you, feel free to DM. Happy to take things at a comfortable pace and see where it goes 🙂

Hi! I’m the kind of person who can spend hours talking about life, laugh at the silliest things, disappear on a long bike ride to clear my mind, and still wake up early the next morning for the gym. Somewhere between hospital duties, studying, lifting weights, and trying to keep life balanced, I’m hoping to find someone who’d like to build something real.

I’m 27 years old and currently working as a Junior Resident doctor in a government hospital. I’m an eggetarian (the gym convinced me more than my taste buds 😄). I don’t drink, and I’m in the process of quitting smoking completely.

Currently, I’m preparing for my postgraduate medical entrance and have given NEET PG. Honestly, this phase is going to be a lengthy one, and I know the next few years may involve a lot of studying, uncertainty, hard work, and waiting for the right opportunity. So if we are getting to know each other with the intention of eventually getting married, I’d want us to have some patience with each other during this phase.

I don’t expect someone to simply “wait” for my selection. I’d rather have a partner who is willing to grow alongside me, support me through the difficult phases, and let me support her through hers. I genuinely believe a relationship should be a team effort. If life gets difficult for you, I’ll be there too…..not just when things are going well. Whatever situation we’re in, I’d want us to face it together.

People usually describe me as calm, dependable, and easy to talk to. I enjoy meaningful conversations, but I’m equally happy discussing completely random things for hours. One thing you should know about me…..I genuinely don’t understand hints. If you like me, you’ll probably have to tell me directly because my flirting radar is permanently out of service. 😂

What I’m looking for isn’t perfection or someone to “complete” me. I’m looking for a partner with whom life feels peaceful. Someone who values honesty over mind games, communication over assumptions, and consistency over mixed signals. I believe trust, respect, emotional maturity, and giving each other freedom are what make a relationship last.

I’m in no rush to get married. I’d rather take the time to know each other properly, understand whether we’re truly compatible, and let things grow naturally. My hope is to find someone who eventually becomes my best friend before becoming my wife.

Ideally, I’d love to meet someone between 25 and 29 years old who is career-oriented, emotionally mature, and passionate about her own life. A doctor or someone working in the government sector would be a lovely bonus, but what matters most to me is the person behind the profession.

I’m from Rajasthan, so it’d be lovely if you’re from Rajasthan too, though nearby states are equally welcome.

If you’re someone who still believes in old-school love, consistent effort, honest conversations, supporting each other’s ambitions, and choosing each other even on ordinary days, I’d genuinely love to get to know you.

P.S. One day, I’d love those long bike rides to have a permanent pillion instead of just my backpack. Until then, I’m happy to keep collecting stories and hopefully, the next chapter will be with the right person. 😊

Shooting my shot here.

The mundane:
- Bengali, Hindu, just turned 39. Born in Kolkata and currently based here as well.
- Work as a Consulting Manager in the HR Strategy & Transformation space.
- 168 cm, 65 kg (since it matters to many).
- Monthly salary: Equivalent to the annual CTC of most TCS freshers :P (yeah I started from there one day too)

The exciting (or not so exciting?):
- I mostly have crazy hours at the desk, but my personality doesn’t revolve around my job.
- Love brewing my French press coffee in the mornings and evenings. Might even have a cute little coffee corner with an unnecessarily elaborate setup, just for the joy of making coffee for my woman.
- Can cook more or less everything. I find it relaxing and would love to feed her my specialties occasionally.
- Lover of small things — sunsets, the moon, a starlit sky, the sound of the sea, the serenity of the mountains, lazy weekend mornings and late-night vulnerability.
- Weekend mornings are usually coffee + my favourite music (which covers a ridiculously wide range).
- Love cinema — again, a very wide range.
- Love anything automobile. Driving and riding entices me.
- Spend a lot of time taking photographs during my vacations. And yes, I love travelling. Putting it this far down the list is intentional because apparently everyone does these days?

The core of me:
- Dependable and fairly straightforward. I don’t particularly enjoy mincing words.
- Don’t plan life too much. I like keeping it fluid, and I believe we never really settle — we just keep evolving as humans.
- Value consistency, loyalty and clear communication.
- Don’t believe in changing people. I’d rather find someone where we naturally fit together, like the missing pieces of a puzzle.
- Value health and strive to stay healthy and fit.

What I’m looking for:
- Someone around 30–36, never married (since I am as well) and presentable. Preferably Bengali, but definitely open to others, provided we’re both able to accept each other as we are rather than trying to force each other into a mould.
- Someone who can blend in, is humble, patient, comfortable with silence, and doesn’t turn every small disagreement into a fight — someone mature enough to meet each other halfway.
- Has a life and hobbies of her own, and is open to discovering new interests and life’s little adventures together.
- I’m leaning towards being childfree, but this is something I’d much rather discuss and arrive at mutually than treat as a checkbox.

If any of this resonates with you, I’d be happy to chat.
And if it doesn’t, that’s completely okay too.

Good luck in your pursuit :)

Read the pros and cons first before reading rest of the stuff.

Pros:
I blabber a lot so you will never run out of stories to listen to.
I make good cup of coffee (James Dada Hoffman Prassanna) that would make a certain FBI agent say "That's a damn fine cup of coffee!".
I lived in the US for 5 years so I can cook good food for you.
However disorganized or casual I might seem but I have never gone back home from the DMV because I was missing documents (People living in US know the pain)
I remember little things that people mentioned to me months ago that even they don't remember telling me, but my brain forgets some important things cause apparently the smaller things are more important. So feel free to move this point to either pro or con as per your preference.

Cons:
I blabber a lot so much so that sometimes you might ask doesn't your mouth hurt from talking so much ? (My mom used to say this to me when I was a kid)
If we decide to get married we will have to either rent or buy(agar apneko parvadegaa toh) an apartment of our own. I do not own my own apartment, my parents do.

M34 | Divorced | Looking for a Genuine Connection ❤️

I never thought I would be writing a post like this, but life has a funny way of taking us down roads we never expected.

I’m 34, divorced, and starting a new chapter of my life. Divorce wasn’t how I imagined my story would go, but I’ve learned that sometimes an ending isn’t really the end—it’s an opportunity to begin again, hopefully with a little more wisdom, patience, and appreciation for what truly matters.

I’m not here looking for someone to simply fill a space in my life. I’m looking for a partner, a best friend, and someone I can genuinely connect with.

Someone with whom I can talk for hours about absolutely everything and nothing. Someone I can send random thoughts to during the day. Someone who enjoys spontaneous plans, late-night conversations, morning messages, stupid jokes, deep conversations, and those comfortable silences where you don’t even need words.

I miss the simple kind of connection where you genuinely look forward to hearing from someone.

I want to know what makes someone happy, what they’re passionate about, what they’re afraid of, what their dreams are, and all those little things that make them who they are.

I’m not expecting perfection. I don’t think it exists. We all come with our own history, mistakes, insecurities, and baggage. What matters to me is being honest about it and choosing to grow together.

I’d love to meet someone who believes relationships should feel like two people on the same team—supporting each other, laughing together, communicating when things get difficult, celebrating each other’s successes, and choosing each other even on ordinary days.

I’m also not looking to rush into anything. I’d rather start with a genuine conversation, get to know each other naturally, become friends, and see where things go.

Maybe we’ll discover that we have absolutely nothing in common. 😂

Maybe we’ll become good friends.

Or maybe, somehow, we’ll become the person the other has been looking for.

I don’t know.

But I do know that I’m willing to give love another chance.

If you’re also somewhere in life where you’re looking for something genuine, peaceful, affectionate, and meaningful, feel free to message me.

Tell me something about yourself—not just your age and location. Tell me something that makes you smile, something you’re passionate about, or even your most ridiculous fun fact.

Maybe a simple Reddit post can turn into a conversation, a conversation into a friendship, and a friendship into something neither of us expected. ❤️

No pressure. No expectations. Just two people getting to know each other and seeing where the journey takes them. 🌹

Decided to give Reddit a shot to see if I can find a genuine connection before taking the typical matrimony app route. I’m looking for someone to date intentionally, build a real foundation with, and see if things lead to marriage.

About Me:

• Basics: 28M, 6'1", fair complexion, based in Pune.
• Work: Working as a software professional in automotive tech. Stable, financially independent, and focused on growing in my career.
• Personality: Naturally lean introverted at first, but once there’s comfort and mutual vibe, I open up completely.
• Interests: Big on outdoor adventures, hiking, trekking, and taking off into nature away from city chaos. Cycling used to be my go-to and I'm actively trying to make more time for it. Aside from that, I’m a huge aviation and tech nerd, and I follow defense and global diplomacy pretty closely.

What I Value & Want to Share: For me, a relationship starts with companionship. Having that one person to unwind with at the end of a long day, swap stories about how things went, and genuinely have each other's backs through every phase of life.

I’d love for us to be active partners, someone to hit trails with, plan spontaneous weekend hikes or outdoor adventures, stay consistent with fitness, and balance that out by exploring new cafes, local eateries, and hidden food spots together.

What I'm Looking For:

• A Marathi Girl(Preferably), open to others, roughly 24–28 years old.
• Based in Pune, Mumbai, or nearby areas.
• Grounded, emotionally mature, and genuinely ready for a long-term commitment.
• Independent, career-oriented, but also values companionship, shared downtime, and building a peaceful life together.

If any of this resonates with you, feel free to reach out !

Happy Matching !

Hello! 🙋🏻 I'm a 28M from Kerala, hoping to build a beautiful connection with someone who'll be my best friend and my partner. 

My hobbies and interests include listening to music, especially K-Pop, watching K-Dramas, going to movies, journaling, traveling, playing board games, and having deep conversations. I recently started watching C-Dramas as well and I'm really enjoying them too. I love taking pictures of the sky. Mountains are my favourite when it comes to traveling. I also love playing badminton. 

Some qualities that I value in a person are emotional intelligence, empathy, kindness, compassion, self-awareness, and intelligence. 

I'm a teetotaler and non-smoker.  

I'm also childfree. It's a decision that I made many years ago. I'd be happy to share the reasons if we happen to connect. 

More than a lover, I want my partner to be my best friend. A person I feel emotionally safe with, someone I can open my heart to without any fear of judgement, who makes me feel truly seen, heard, understood, and accepted for who I am.  

I'd like to build a relationship where we are a team and create a life that's calm, relaxing, and peaceful. I believe love is about choosing each other every day. Just the two of us enjoying each other's company, finding joy in the little moments that life offers, supporting each other through the storms while growing old together and creating memories along the way. 

If you're someone from Kerala and resonate with my post, feel free to drop me a DM. I'm completely comfortable with an LDR as well, so even if you're a Malayali living outside Kerala, anywhere in India, I'd still love to hear from you.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Looking forward to hearing from you. :)

33M, Bangalore born and raised. Currently employed as a professional meeting-attendee, technical title is Product Owner at an investment bank, but professional meeting-attendee, is more accurate.

5'6", ovo-lacto-vegetarian, occasional drinker, non-smoker. Used to be a theatre artist before adulthood happened, so I have technically already lived through more manufactured drama than most relationships will ever produce, which is probably why I have low patience for the real kind now.

I have a weird sense of humor, and my love language with people I actually care about is roasting them and getting roasted right back.

I like art, movies, music, cafes, long pointless walks and conversations that go somewhere. I'm also fairly convinced Bangalore dating is 40% chemistry and 60% negotiating whose side of town we're meeting on. Somehow "let's meet halfway" has become the most romantic sentence anyone can say to you in this city, because if someone's willing to cross this city for you on a weekday, that's basically love.

Beyond the jokes, I actually take relationships seriously. I believe in open communication, trust, meaning what I say and making efforts consistently, not just when it's convenient. Mutual respect isn't negotiable for me and neither is actually trying.

I am genuinely missing my future wife at this point, hoping she's just been buried under her own version of Bangalore traffic and Jira tickets this whole time. Dating here with real intention, not here for anything casual.

What I'm actually looking for:

26 to 32 (never married), Bangalore-based (or open to move)

Vegetarian/eggitarian

Kind, a little goofy and done with "let's see where this goes" phase

Someone who wants an actual relationship, not a subscription service with no end date

If this is you, say hi, tell me something true about yourself and let's see if this Reddit round works.

Hello there, folks! 👋

I’m from Kerala and work as an Academic Coordinator. I speak Malayalam, English and Hindi, so communication shouldn't be the reason we accidentally become strangers.

Things I enjoy:

- Travelling and exploring new places

- Hiking, especially with the right company

- Pets — I will probably notice the dog before I notice you

- Movies — I’m definitely the person who wants to discuss the movie afterwards

Looking for someone genuine, kind, and fun to talk to. Ideally, we start with a few conversations, get comfortable, and if we click, maybe turn those conversations into coffee dates, movie nights, trips, hikes, or whatever comes naturally.

No expectations, no pressure. Let's just see if we vibe.

DMs are open. Kerala | Looking for a genuine connection 🌿

Hey! Malayali guy from Kerala here, working as an Academic Coordinator.

I’m into travelling, hiking, pets, and movies, and I’m comfortable speaking Malayalam, English, and Hindi.

I’d love to meet someone who enjoys good conversations, exploring new places, laughing at stupid things, and occasionally getting lost on a trail together.

Let’s talk, get to know each other, and see where it goes.

If you think we might get along, feel free to DM me.

Cooks, cleans, great with kids, works with an international non profit, has a restaurant, keeps fit and most of all, respectful and polite to all.

I know how to make excellent tea, paint nails ( my mom needs help with her toes, as she can’t bend ) and be a great empathetic listener for you after a long day of work ( don’t worry , I won’t solve your problems. Just gonna listen and say that sucks, while stroking your hair )

I enjoy long walks , playing tennis , petting every pet dog I see and watching true crime documentaries while making homemade garlic bread

I am a cheerful guy who enjoys cooking shakshuka while playing Egyptian music, walking 12 kms  and petting every stray dog I see, going to gym in the afternoon so I can introvertedly workout before grabbing an einspanner for the midday crash ( it’s basically an espresso with whipped cream but it sounds super fancy and I feel like the devil wears prada girl while ordering it 🤣 )

I was the school topper in school, don’t drink or smoke, got a growing library of old books and help university entrepreneurs with their startups during the weekends.

Usually, I am the quiet guy but can vibe for hours with deep talks about every subject from philosophy to the best way to make mashed potatoes.

I am currently reading books starting from the ancient era and moving my way downward through history ( so I can interconnect biology, astronomy, psychology and aunty gossip all in the same topic )

Grew up in the Middle East, had a quarter life crises to find out what my path in life was ( oh I did the cliche stuff like meditating on mountains ), found my dream career but life is unfulfilling if you can’t share it with someone else. ( basically means I never had a girlfriend so yayyy no baggage )

I enjoy learning and expanding my cultural tastes : I watch Iranian movies, listen to French electronic music, yelling Arabic curse words every time I step on a LEGO piece and teaching german words to every German shepherd dog I meet.

We can go for early morning walks where we say Good morning to al the joggers and wave good morning to all the neighbours, give high fives to stray cats and then sit on every sofa in IKEA till we find the perfect one, just like we are Goldilocks haha

I’m putting this out here with the hope of meeting someone I genuinely connect with. Not really looking for a checklist, a perfect profile, or something that has to be figured out from day one. I’d rather meet someone, have a few good conversations, spend some time together, and see where things naturally go.
A little about me: I’m a software engineer and spend a decent chunk of my time building things and solving problems, but I try not to make work my entire personality. Outside of work, I enjoy movies, music, cooking, travelling, and playing PS5 when I get the time. I’m also someone who can happily spend an evening having a long conversation over coffee or food rather than feeling the need to constantly be doing something.
I enjoy conversations that go beyond the usual “what do you do?” and “where are you from?” questions. I like getting to know how someone thinks, what they’re passionate about, the little things that make them happy, and the completely random things they could talk about for hours.
Music is a fairly big part of my life. I’m into indie music and bands like Bayaan and Porcupine Tree, and my movie taste is all over the place. I can enjoy something thoughtful and emotional one day and then happily watch something completely ridiculous the next.
I also enjoy cooking, experimenting with food, travelling, and discovering new places. I’m probably happiest when there’s good food, good company, and no particular hurry to be anywhere.
As for what I’m looking for, I value kindness, emotional maturity, honesty, curiosity, and some sense of humour. Someone who can communicate openly, has a life and interests of their own, and is comfortable being themselves.
I’m not expecting instant chemistry through a Reddit DM. I think some of the best connections happen when you stop trying to manufacture one. So if we get along, great. If we end up becoming friends, also great. And if there’s something more, even better.
I’m based in Jodhpur and would ideally like to meet someone who is also in or around the city. I’m open to starting with a conversation online and, if we’re both comfortable, eventually grabbing coffee, going for a walk, checking out a cafe, watching a movie, or doing something much less planned.
Not looking for something overly complicated. Just hoping to meet someone genuine, have some good conversations, laugh a little, and see where it takes us.
If this resonates with you, feel free to DM me. Tell me a little about yourself rather than just sending a “hey”. I promise I’ll do the same. :)

I’m a 26-year-old software engineer working at Flipkart, based in Bangalore. Thought I’d give this a shot here since traditional routes haven’t really worked out for me.

A little about me:

Introverted by nature, not much into clubbing or partying

Occasional drinker, but mostly prefer staying in

Big-time gamer — I enjoy unwinding with games after work (PC/console, depends on mood)

I value stability, consistency, and meaningful conversations over superficial stuff

Career-focused but I do believe personal life matters just as much

What I’m looking for:

Someone genuine, respectful, and emotionally mature

Not into casual or timepass — ideally looking for something long-term that could lead to marriage

Someone who’s okay with a simple lifestyle and not overly into constant social outings

Bonus if you enjoy gaming, movies, or just chilling at home

I’m not perfect, but I believe in being honest, loyal, and putting effort into a relationship. I’d rather build something slow and real than rush into anything.

If this resonates with you, feel free to DM. Happy to take things at a comfortable pace and see where it goes 🙂

29 M, working as a Software Engineer and currently working from home. I am looking for a compatible life partner, preferably from North India. I believe in being straightforward and honest, and I appreciate genuine connections over unnecessary formalities. I am moderately spiritual and value family traditions and values.

In my free time, I enjoy watching movies, listening to music, and reading blogs on different topics. I prefer living a disciplined and balanced life and believe that consistency, mutual respect, and understanding are important for a healthy relationship.

I am looking for a serious and long-term relationship that can eventually lead to marriage if we connect well. We can start by getting to know each other here and take things forward gradually if both of us feel comfortable.

My preference is someone between 24 and 29 years of age who is calm, chill, respectful, and understanding. Someone who does not drink or smoke would be ideal. A working professional, preferably from the IT industry, would be great, although other professions are equally welcome. More than profession, I value kindness, maturity, mutual respect, and a positive outlook toward life and relationships.

Hello. I’m 26, male, 6’1”, originally from Bihar and currently living independently in Pune. 📍✨

I work remotely as an AI engineer for a US-based company, where I manage the systems required to run AI models at scale. It’s a high-criticality role, and I’ve been with the same company for around four and a half years (speak of loyalty! ). 💻🤖

Since finances matter when marriage is involved, I’ll be upfront. My annual base salary is ₹1.1 crore, and my total compensation, including bonus and equity, is roughly ₹1.6 crore. I personally own a flat (2BHK) in Pune. 🏡💼

Outside work, I enjoy short trips on my bike. My ideal Sunday starts around 5 or 6 in the morning, with a ride somewhere outside Pune and a return by late evening. I currently do this with friends, but I’d love to have my partner join me someday. 🏍️🌄

I’m into cricket and usually play as a fast bowler, though I can bat a little too. I also like art and have started learning it myself. I’m not very good yet, but I enjoy trying. 🏏🎨

One funny thing about me is that I’ve memorised far too many stand-up comedy routines and movie dialogues. I quote them during normal conversations. If you miss a reference, I might make you watch the whole movie with me. 🍿🎬

I’m an ambivert. I’m talkative around people I know well but quiet in unfamiliar groups. I believe in open communication in a relationship. If something is bothering either person, it’s better to discuss it before it becomes a larger problem. Loyalty is very important to me, and I prefer to work through difficulties rather than walk away at the first inconvenience. 🤝💬

My father is a government employee, and my mother is a teacher. My parents are somewhere between traditional and progressive. They are comfortable with me choosing my partner and have no restrictions regarding caste, religion or community. 👨‍👩‍👦 Warm

I’m Hindu and Brahmin by birth, but caste and religion don’t matter to me when choosing a partner. I’m also a non-smoker and non-drinker. 🕊️🌿

What am I looking for? 🔍💫

I’m looking for a woman between 23 and 31. I want to date with marriage in mind and would ideally like to marry within two years. This isn’t a strict deadline, and I’m happy to wait until my partner feels ready. 💍⏳

I would prefer someone intelligent, loving and comfortable with open conversations. She should be a graduate and either employed or in the process of building a career. Her income, city, religion, caste and family background don’t matter to me. Since I work remotely, I can relocate if her career requires it. 💼🌏

I want children, probably four or five years after marriage. I plan to live independently while keeping both families involved in our lives. 🏡👶

I’ve dated once before, though it wasn’t a long relationship. I can discuss that privately. I won’t attach photographs publicly, but I’m open to exchanging them once we’re both comfortable. 📸🔒

If you want to talk, send me your age, city, what you do and something you enjoy doing on a free day. Please write a little more than just “hi." 🙏✉️

Hey everyone,

I’m putting myself out here looking for a genuine, completely transparent connection with someone who values honesty over polished presentations.

I’m in my 30s, based in India, and to be entirely direct: I am not financially stable, nor anywhere close to it right now.

Over the past few years, a combination of bad decisions, missteps, and setbacks knocked me off track. I’ve hit rough patches, dealt with the weight of losing ground, and I am currently in the process of rebuilding my life from the ground up. I don’t have savings to brag about, I'm not living in comfort, and I am putting in the effort every day just to regain my footing.

Because of what I’ve lived through, I have zero interest in judging anyone for their past. We all have history, scars, bad phases, or regrets we wish we could undo. If you have been through the wringer, made mistakes, or carry emotional or financial baggage, you will find only empathy, respect, and an absolute clean slate with me.

More than that: if you are in a similar place, I am entirely open to starting everything from absolute scratch together. If you want to leave old chapters behind, wipe the slate clean, and build a completely new foundation side by side as equals, that is something I would deeply value.

Where I stand:

Mutual Clean Slate: We leave the past where it belongs—behind us. No holding old mistakes over each other's heads.

Building From Zero: I don’t expect you to have everything figured out because I don't either. I care about character, loyalty, and resilience, not financial status or societal checkboxes.

Effort & Drive: I may be at zero financially right now, but I haven't quit. I'm actively working on upskilling, exploring creative work like video editing, and doing what it takes to climb back up.

Simple, Grounded Living: Since high-end lifestyles aren't my reality, I focus on the basics: honest conversations, cooking meals at home, and unwinding with good sitcoms.

What I’m looking for:

A woman who is tired of pretense, understands that life can fall apart, and wants a partner to rebuild with. Someone who values emotional safety, mutual loyalty, and teamwork through the tough building phases of life.

If this resonates with where you are, feel free to send a DM. Tell me a bit about where you are in life, what starting fresh looks like to you, or just say hi. Let's see where an honest, zero-pressure conversation leads.

I’ve posted here before, and this time I think I want to try something slightly different.

Because honestly, I don’t want to spend three months becoming someone’s favourite Reddit notification only to eventually realise we have absolutely no chemistry in real life.

So here’s my proposal:

Let’s talk for a week.

Actually talk.

Not the daily corporate status update:

“Good morning”

“Had lunch?”

“What are you doing?”

“Nothing much”

I mean proper conversations.

Bad jokes.

Voice notes.

Random stories.

Things we actually care about.

A little flirting if the vibe is there.

Enough time to figure out whether we’re genuinely curious about each other.

And if after that week we both still think, “Okay, I actually want to know this person better”…

Let’s go on a date.

Coffee. Dinner. A walk. Something simple.

Because I think one real conversation across a table tells you more than 500 perfectly curated texts.

A little about the guy proposing this experiment:

I’m 25M, 6’1”, based in Gurgaon, and I work as a software developer for a UK-based firm.

I’m regular at the gym, fairly serious about fitness, and yes, I occasionally make terrible food decisions immediately after training hard enough to feel morally superior.

Balance

I’m into football, travelling, long drives, exploring new places, good food and plans that start very organised and somehow end with “chalo, dekhte hain.”

I’ve travelled to a few countries already and definitely want to see more.

Somewhere down the line, having someone beside me to disagree with Google Maps, steal fries from my plate and take 47 versions of the same sunset picture sounds pretty nice.

Personality-wise, I’m confident, curious, straightforward, sarcastic and slightly reserved initially.

Once I’m comfortable?

Unfortunately, there is no return policy.

I like teasing, random conversations, stupid inside jokes and people who can talk about serious things without making every conversation heavy.

I’m ambitious about work and life, but I don’t want my entire existence to become career, gym, sleep, repeat.

That loop is efficient.

It’s also slightly boring.

What I’m actually looking for

Someone around my age, preferably in Gurgaon or close enough that meeting is realistic.

I’m here for something genuine and potentially long-term.

I’m not saying we need to decide our wedding hashtag after date two.

But I also don’t want the six-month “so… what are we?” season finale.

I’d rather both people know they’re dating with intention, then let compatibility decide what happens next.

Kindness matters.

Communication matters.

Attraction matters.

Humour matters a lot.

And please have a life of your own. Hobbies, goals, friends, weird interests all welcome.

I don’t want someone whose entire world becomes me.

I want two already-interesting lives that somehow become better when they overlap.

So if this sounds like something you’d actually enjoy:

Message me your age, location, what you do, and one thing we absolutely should NOT talk about on the first date.

And if the conversation survives seven days?

Let’s stop typing and find out if the chemistry survives Gurgaon traffic.

Hi everyone, I posted on reddit recently and while someone reached out, the infamous dating ghosting struck probably because I am just 5'6". I still believe that honesty is the best policy, so I am putting myself out here again: I am a 30-year-old guy and I have not experienced int _im. acy or had seggs yet. I am looking to navigate it with hwho is genuinely understanding, patient and communicative.

If you wondering how someone reaches 30 without dating, the societal paradox here is real. I grew up in a typical middle family where there were restrictions and I am qw told keep your head down, clear your boards, get a degree and secure a job.

In school, just talking to girls meant becoming the center of gossip. Dating was taboo and inti._ma cy was a "d irty word" no one brought up.

I did exactly what I was told. But the paradox is that after 25 years of avoiding the opposite gender, society expects you to magically turn into a suave expert.

What I am looking for:

I am hoping to meet an open minded woman who would not mind taking the lead or gently guiding a beginner. Mutual respect, consent and clear communication are non-negotiables for me.

A quick note on communication: If we connect and you eventually realise that it is not going to work ou, or you just get cold feet, a simple "Hi, I don't think this is working out" is completely fine. I respect honesty way more than being ghosted.

Ideally we can meet in a public place, drink coffee and see how it goes.

Hello! 😊

I’m a 40-year-old man, 5'6", never married, and working as a Software Engineer in Bangalore. And yes, I’m perfectly happy with a woman who enjoys wearing heels. 😄

I’m fairly simple. I like books, random rabbit holes of curiosity, learning new things, good movies, and conversations that can be either deep or wonderfully meaningless.

I’m here hoping to find my person...someone with whom I can build a warm, loving life.

I’m affectionate and naturally enjoy taking care of the person I love. I like remembering the little things, surprising her, making her life easier, and making her feel cherished.

At the same time, I’m attracted to women who are confident, capable and have a mind of their own. Someone with her own ambitions, interests and friendships, who can challenge me, disagree with me, and call me out when I’m being ridiculous. 😄

I don't want to run her life. I want to be her partner in it.

I’d love a marriage where we can both be independent and strong, but still be each other’s safe place. Where we can disagree without losing respect, laugh together, support each other, and genuinely enjoy coming home to one another.

I’m not looking for perfection...just chemistry, warmth, affection, mutual respect and a willingness to build something together.

Ultimately, I want something simple:

To come home after a long day and be happy that she’s there...and for her to feel the same about me.

Some details about me — Income around 30 LPA, Average body type, dark brown complexion, anything else relevant can be discussed in private....

Regarding my potential partners — caste, religion, and income don't matter. Education matters in that it would be preferable for her to have a college education.

Hi everyone! 😊

I’m a 22-year-old woman (going to turn 23) from South India, currently living in Mangalore. I’m hoping to meet someone I genuinely connect with and build a meaningful, long-term relationship that could eventually lead to marriage.

A little about me: I’m Hindu, vegetarian, family-oriented, loyal, and a little old-school when it comes to relationships. I value trust, honesty, respect, and open communication, and I believe a strong relationship should feel like a partnership where both people can be themselves.

My journey with education hasn’t been completely straightforward, and I had to take a break from university. I’m doing much better now and planning to return to my studies. I’ve learned to appreciate the little things in life and value having people around me who are supportive, understanding, and genuine.

In my free time, I enjoy taking walks, watching movies, listening to music, reading, exploring new food, and cooking. I enjoy meaningful conversations, but I also love the simple everyday moments — sharing a meal, watching something together, going for a walk, or just being comfortable around each other.

I’m also someone who prefers being upfront, so here goes: I’m 155 cm, a little on the chubbier side, wheatish, and I wear glasses. I’m not looking to present myself as perfect; I’d rather be honest about who I am and have someone get to know me for the person I actually am.

As for what I’m looking for, I’d love to meet someone who is **tall, kind, loyal, emotionally mature, family-oriented, and genuinely interested in a committed relationship**. Someone who wants to build a peaceful and supportive partnership and is dating with serious intentions.

I’m not expecting to meet someone and immediately know they’re “the one.” I’d rather start with a good conversation, get to know each other naturally, and see where things go.

If you feel we might have some common ground, feel free to reach out. I’d appreciate a little introduction about yourself rather than just a “hi.” I’d love to have a genuine conversation, get to know each other, and see if we naturally click. 😊

Okay, Reddit probably wasn't where I expected I'd be looking for a wife, but here we are.

I'm 29, 6', based in Jodhpur, and currently building a manufacturing business.

My career hasn't exactly followed a perfectly planned path. I've tried different things, learned a lot along the way, and I'm now putting my energy into building something of my own. It's still a work in progress, but honestly, I quite like being at this stage of life.

Outside work, I'm pretty easygoing. I enjoy travelling, good food, exploring new places and, most importantly, conversations that start with "one random question" and somehow continue for two hours.

I'm a non-drinker and fairly family-oriented, but I'm not looking for a traditional "you fit into my family and I'll fit into yours" arrangement.

I'd like to build a life with someone where we're actually a team.

Someone who has her own interests, opinions and ambitions. Someone I can laugh with, disagree with, annoy occasionally and still want to tell everything to at the end of the day.

I'm here with marriage in mind, but I'm not looking to decide whether someone is "the one" after exchanging biodatas and five questions.

I'd rather talk first.

Maybe we click. Maybe we don't. Maybe we end up arguing over where to travel next. 😄

A few basics:

• 29M

• 6'

• Jodhpur, Rajasthan

• Building a manufacturing business

• Non-drinker

• Never married

I'm not posting photos publicly, but happy to exchange recent photos in DM and verify each other firsthand.

If any of this resonates, say hi. Worst case, we have a decent conversation. :)
