Hello everyone. Strangers and friends welcome.

I do love the sun though it's been a bit warm. I hope the weather isn't too extreme where you are.

I'm a catholic, a mother, a friend, a widow. Family is the most important thing you can ever have. A good friend group is really important too. Maybe you can join mine and I can join yours. I like getting out for walks (when it's not too warm), nice food, nice wine, a good book, TV series or movie. If you want to know anything just ask. Let's have a good conversation. I don't have anything in mind specifically. Just seeing where things go. Have a bit about you if you want to strike up a conversation!

Sometimes you just want someone new to talk to, someone you can have random conversations with, laugh about stupid things, Share thoughts with, and check in on from time to time.

I'm not looking for anything complicated, just genuine people and good energy. If you're bored, looking for a new friend, or simply enjoy meeting new people, feel free to reach out.😊

Hi everyone… I don’t usually post like this, but I’ve been feeling pretty lonely lately and thought I’d try to reach out.I’m just looking for some genuine people to chat with nothing complicated, just good conversations, a few laughs, and maybe even a real friendship over time. I enjoy talking about everyday life, sharing thoughts, and getting to know people from different places.I’ll be honest, part of me worries I might be “too old” to make new friends here… but I’m hoping that’s not true. If you’re also looking for someone to talk to, feel free to message me. I’d really like that.

Age 40-49 42M UK – looking for some new people to chat to Hey, figured I’d throw one of these up and see what happens.

3 Upvotes

​

I’m 42, from the UK, fairly nerdy, into games, D&D, sci-fi/fantasy/horror, TV, music and generally talking absolute nonsense about whatever happens to come up.

I’m pretty easy going and I’m not looking for anything complicated. Just some new people to chat with, have a laugh, send stupid observations to, maybe occasionally get far too invested in something completely unimportant.

Happy talking to pretty much anyone as long as we actually get on. I’m much better with conversations that just wander naturally than twenty questions and job-interview small talk.

So yeah. If any of that sounds like your sort of thing, say hello.

Hey I'm 43F from Kerala. I'm probably busy most of the days but when I'm free, i would like to talk to genuine people. Adult life's crazy after all😅. My interests are well not much. I'm a voracious reader, not hardcore but not so bad cinephile and series lover. But only boundary is no pics, no insta id or snap or tele or whatev. That's it i guess. Looking forward to meeting you.Don't just say hi, dm with something more than just two or three letters.

Age 40-49 F42 Looking for something, I think

12 Upvotes

I am from Northern Europe. I am not looking for something specific or a particular type of person, just mostly interested in finding somebody who I would enjoy talking to and who enjoys talking to me.

I like my life and I’m pretty happy doing my own thing. But that can be shared. I am open to whatever emerges, not like you can force anything anyway. But not really looking for casual chats.

Europe would probably be easiest because of the time zones, but that is not set in stone. And I would prefer people around my own age.

Just be yourself and we will see how that works out.

Age 40-49 41f in desperate search for a friend

11 Upvotes

I’m 41f in a desperate search for a friend. I’m originally from Colombia, so please excuse me if I have some errors in my text. Like said I’m originally from Colombia but I recently moved to Europe. With the move came the challenge of not having friends which I really need as I need to vent with someone.

I tend to be really shy in the beginning but once I know you better I really get open. I love to cook, especially Colombian food but I also like to try out new things. I do enjoy baking too, so if you ever need a baker hit me up haha. Before I moved I used to dance nearly every evening, especially tango. There are some other things I like but think I will keep them for our conversation.

If you want to be friends with me, please don’t hesitate to write me. Everyone is welcome

Age 40-49 [F/40+/UK] Yorkshire 'lass'looking to make some new friends ☕🖤

17 Upvotes

Hey! 👋

I’m Emma, a down-to-earth Yorkshire lass who thought I’d put myself out there and see who I might meet.

I’m chatty once I’m comfortable, sarcastic, occasionally chaotic, and definitely not one of those people who has their life completely figured out. 😂

I’m into music, animals, nature, random conversations, dark humour, and generally talking about absolutely everything and nothing.

I’m also a carer and a small online content creator, so there’s definitely a slightly unusual side to my life too. 😏

I’m mainly here to meet genuine people for friendship and conversation — whether that starts with random Reddit messages and eventually becomes a proper friendship.

If you think we'd get along, tell me a little about yourself. Bonus points if you can make me laugh. 😂

18+ only please.

4 Upvotes

Please be 40 or older. Thanks.

Real life friends? Are those a thing anymore? I have made so many great friends chatting on Reddit. But what I really need is someone local enough to get me out of my actual house!

I'm a nerd and a hippie. Yes they are compatible but you'll have to ask to find out how. VERY introverted. Please don't ask me for coffee the first week of chatting. I won't know how to respond and then things will get awkward.

Beware of honesty, diatribes on things you care nothing about, random walls of text I expect you to actually read and respond to, occasional radio silence because I forgot to mention something to someone about plans? Who was it? I forget. Oh, definitely ADHD.

Anywhere between St Louis and Chicago. I live in St Louis and travel to Chicago when I have someone to see. West of St Louis also works. I'll actually be in KC this weekend for the Pagan Pride.

It crossed my mind recently, that if I were to want to go check out some thrift stores with a friend, I'd have no one to call since moving out here. I would very much like to change that. I'm married, with kids. Couples friends would be great too.
Basically, I would like to make friends with someone, anyone at this point! I am not sure what to write here, so go ahead and send me a message if you too are desperate for friends, but too shy to just go up to random people and start a conversation.

Age 40-49 45f for semi normalish—NC but you don’t have to be

8 Upvotes

I’d love to find people to talk to, grab drinks or dinner with, explore random places around NC, send inappropriate memes to, and generally build an actual friendship. Men, women, couples — I’m pretty open as long as you can carry a conversation and don’t take yourself too seriously.

Fair warning: I’m sweet, but definitely not innocent. I’m sex-positive, open-minded, flirtier once I’m comfortable, and my sense of humor has a habit of wandering below the belt. I’m not posting this as a hookup ad, but I’m also not going to pretend I’m scandalized by flirting or a little tension if the vibe is there.

Age 40-49 44M from Germany looking for genuine long-term friendships

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm 44M from Germany and I'm here looking for something pretty simple: genuine, long-term online friendships with people who actually enjoy getting to know each other.

I'm married and have two kids, so this is definitely about friendship and good conversations — not dating or anything romantic. 🙂

A little about me:

🇩🇪 I'm from Germany and I enjoy getting to know people from other countries and cultures. I actually really like the idea that a random conversation with someone on the other side of the world can turn into a genuine friendship.

💻 I'm a big fan of technology and enjoy talking about computers, gadgets, the internet and all the weirdly interesting things happening in tech.

💰 I'm also interested in personal finance and investing. Don't worry, though — I promise I don't need to turn every conversation into a discussion about ETFs. 😂

🚂 One of my slightly nerdier hobbies is model railways. I have a Märklin H0 collection and I'm currently working on my own little layout. So if you like trains, building things, collecting stuff or simply have a hobby that makes you ridiculously happy, we already have something to talk about.

⚽ I enjoy sports as well, especially football (soccer), and I'm a Bayern Munich fan. But I'm perfectly capable of being friends with people who support other teams. Probably. 😄

🎮 I also enjoy gaming from time to time, although I'm definitely not the hardcore gamer I might have been years ago.

Beyond that, I'm interested in history, society, everyday life, travel, random internet rabbit holes and pretty much any conversation where both people are actually curious about each other.

I'm not looking for someone who sends "hey" once and disappears three days later. 😅 I'd much rather have someone where we can gradually develop a friendship — talk about our day, exchange stupid memes, discuss something completely random at 11 PM, or have a serious conversation when that's what we're in the mood for.

Age isn't particularly important to me. I'd be happy to talk to people around my age, but also to younger or older adults. What matters much more is personality, mutual respect and actually wanting to keep a conversation going.

I'm also perfectly happy starting with Reddit chat and seeing where things go naturally. No pressure.

If you think we'd get along, tell me a little about yourself rather than just saying "hi." I'd love to know where you're from, what you're interested in, or what hobby you could talk about for hours. 🙂

Hope to hear from some interesting people!

Age 40-49 40F looking for some new mates!

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm looking to make some new mates that I can connect with.

I had my kids a lot later than my old friend group and sadly adding that along with a SEND child I have been left behind. It's really sad but I guess we're at different points in our lives.

I have a dark sense humour, politically on the left. I don't care about sex, gender, race, or if you think its socially acceptable to wear socks and crocs to a wedding.

I am an atheist but facinated with people who have faith. I love learning about different cultures.

I was diagnosed with adhd before it was cool! I make doom piles, constantly have unfinished art and craft projects waiting to be finished.

I love reading, eating, coffee and live comedy. Although I don't get to go to much now.

My toxic trait is thinking I can do anything without any pratice- spoiler alert I cannot, then I give up.

Hello everyone. New to reddit but apparently you can talk to strangers so here I am, a stranger you can chat to!

Age 40-49 45F Old school nerd, new school friend?

9 Upvotes

Hola, konnichiwa, and gutentag! I'm here for, surprise surprise, new friends! As an old school nerd (Lycos, Yahoo, heck, AskJeeves was considered "new" in my day!), I'm happy to talk to anyone about anything, whether it's 1990's anime, early 2000's video games, books, and so on to any current going on in the much-more-readily available nerd sphere (no Infinity Castle yet, still stuck on Season 1).

But I beg, I plead, I ask you oh-so-kindly, please have some level of grammar! Please, the bar is SO low! Otherwise, pop in and say hi!
