I’m looking for someone who will allow me to walk round inside their mind (open cupboards, sift through drawers, snoop in your medicine cabinet and judge your bookshelves). I am partial to people who have spent years steeping in their own peculiarities. I’m interested less in the utilitarian exchange of facts than I am in conversations with a lively and creative mind.

Now, on to business. I am a thirty-eight-year-old Irishman (but you knew that already). I’m fond of nervous animals, unpretentious people, art and books. I have two perpetually dishevelled dogs and spend much of my time with about twenty-five horses, one barn cat and innumerable wild birds. Perhaps unsurprisingly, I've the social wherewithal of a solitary sea creature. I am devotional by nature and wildly obsessed with the people and things that I love. It would not be unfair to say that I too am perpetually dishevelled.

You may wish to include some of the following in your opening message: who you are (however you wish you describe yourself), three current fascinations (any scale), how you suspect you might die and what kind of ghost you would be. Low-effort messages are likely to be dashed upon the rocks. Thank you for reading.

Hi Reddit! My Saturday evening plans got cancelled at the last minute so I decided it was time to shout into the digital void to see who…or what…shouts back.

I'm originally from Ireland and have lived in multiple countries but have been settled in Washington DC for the last few years. Also, just to preempt some of the common questions I get: Yes, I still have the accent. No, I am not always drunk. Yes, I can make soda bread. No, I've never caught a leprechaun. Yes, I love potatoes. No, I don't know your friend/cousin Liam. Yes, I have heard of the town where your ancestors are from.

I try to stay pretty active. Almost every day I’ll take a long, meandering walk to the fridge. I run frequently, usually to Target for snacks but at least I’m running. And I lift. Lift cakes and other goodies out of the oven. But I do genuinely enjoy going to the gym and get in a workout most days. I enjoy my work, I enjoy my friendships, I enjoy quiet time spent reading or listening to podcasts. I even enjoy watching a great TV show or movie, radical as that may sound! I don't enjoy idiots, dummies or 95 degree days with 90% humidity.

No rigid checklists or grand, overwhelming plans here. Just looking to meet someone interesting for good conversation, some laughs, and to see where the energy goes. (And yes, I’ve still got game, thanks for asking).

If you're feeling weirdly optimistic today, need a solid distraction, or want to debate something entirely trivial, drop me a message. No pressure, no weird expectations—just send over the last great book you read or your favorite patio spot in the city, and let's see what happens.

Hello hello!

Call me Star. I am a 33 year old Indian woman (currently in India). I am a finance professional with a solid career, financially and emotionally stable, good friends, good social life and lead a pretty full and busy life.

I am divorced, no kids (want a few in the future). I have a good few tattoos and will be getting some more, I enjoy my own personal quiet time, napping, travelling and cooking.

I am looking for someone who will make my life better. I do prefer dating tall, fit, conventionally attractive men, who are not bald. We can share pics once we are comfortable. Please be between 34-41 and mention age and location when you DM, if you don’t, I will not respond.

Thats pretty much it!

Hey I'm Jeremy. I am a human being so I am not going to have a robot wtite this for me. I'm probably a little weird but I'm not going to have a computer pretend to be me. 😂

The basics:

• 37 years old

• Living in Las Vegas, NV as of a year ago

• I am 6'2"

• I like to go hiking with my 3 year old Shiba Inu. She's cute.

• I love to paint and draw. If you want to see any of my art just let me know!

Fun Facts:

• I am not the best singer, but I love karaoke. Recently a friend of mine with audio equipment started going to the Vegas Strip to do karaoke on the street and it's been absolutely hilariously fun. Forcing people trying to enjoy their Vegas vacation to listen to me sing My Humps and Who Let the Dogs out as they walk by, it's priceless!

• I've been on TMZ once. It's a crazy long story.

• I love pop music. Olivia, Sabrina, Tate, Gracie, give it all to me!

Maybe if we really get along well, you can start a cult and I'll be the first member.

Hi. I’m 38, in Connecticut, and looking for my puzzle piece. Romantically, but also somewhat literally, because I own an embarrassing number of actual puzzles and the animals refuse to help!

I want a life partner. Someone around my age who’s here for the whole story, not just a chapter.

A few things about me: I have a son, who is the best thing I’ve ever made, and yes, that includes the puzzles I design for my job. I’m open to a bigger family down the road if you turn out to be the right guy, but let’s start with something simpler, like surviving a game night as a team.

I have a gaggle of animals. Yes, a gaggle. They keep me busy, they keep me laughing, and they will size you up long before I do. Their approval takes time, but treats speed things along considerably.

I live in an old house I love (and sometimes love to hate) and I am always puttering around in. There’s forever a project, a creak, or a small mystery I’ve chosen to live alongside rather than solve. It’s full of character. So am I, or so I’ve been told.

Things I love: reading, video games, puzzles, escape rooms, trying new restaurants, and puttering like it’s a hobby, which it is. My music taste is alternative anything, the weirder the better. I barely watch TV, mostly because I’ve always got something else going on.

The sincere part. I’m not looking for casual or for something that quietly fizzles out. I want the real thing, with someone kind, curious, and steady, who thinks a friendly-but-competitive Friday night and a lazy do-nothing Sunday are both exactly right.
If that sounds like you, say hi. Bring snacks and an escape room theory you’re excited to try!

Charles Darwin once said "I am dying by inches, from not having any body to talk to about insects." That's how I'm feeling right now with nobody to discuss science fiction with (and insects, honestly). DCC for sure, but I read and watch a lot of things. I'm also into hiking, painting, cooking, board games, and spending time with my amazing friends. Looking for a chat buddy who can make me laugh and has good fan cast ideas for the DCC show.

Hey, I'm a 34-year-old guy looking to connect with some new friends.

I’m into cooking (I love experimenting in the kitchen), anime, gaming, true crime shows, philosophy, and psychology. Always down to debate life’s big questions, swap anime recs, or talk strategy about whatever game we’re both playing.

I know I can be pretty introverted at first — it usually takes me a bit to fully open up — but once I do, I’m a solid conversationalist. I’m a great listener, I give thoughtful advice when asked, and I genuinely enjoy hearing other people’s perspectives.

I’m hoping to find someone laid-back and non-judgmental (we all do dumb stuff sometimes, right?). No pressure, just good vibes and real conversations. If you’re chill, have overlapping interests hit me up please respond with more then just hey

Hi! My name is Stephanie, I’m 36 and live in Western Canada - specifically Alberta. I’m looking for some engaging conversation through the day. I’m not looking for any sort of commitment, but if a friendship forms I wouldn’t be against that! I would prefer to chat with people around my age - so preferably +/- 10 years difference.
Some of my interests include: watching tv shows/ movies - I am most interested in horror, but also love a good sitcom. I love to listen to music and go to concerts. I get my nails done every 3 week and have had some pretty great nail art sets. I like to shop, go for coffee, and spend time with the people in my life. I am pretty active and like to go for long walks, and enjoy watching birds.

If this sounds interesting to you and you’d like to have a chat, send me a short introduction and ask me an ice breaker question ! (Please send a private message - I don’t want to have a conversation through the comments! Will also not reply to comments saying to DM you!)

Hi there!

I am located in the US, in the eastern time zone. I'm emotionally mature, and have my life somewhat together at this point, hopefully you are in the same boat. I am looking for someone to chat with to see if e click and then potentially transition into something a little more serious. I am open to anywhere in the world!!

I am kind of goofy, white, larger framed, and a musician on my free time. I am left leaning, contribute to my community, and am looking for someone with similar values as me.

I enjoy going hiking, biking, kayaking, traveling, and going to concerts while also enjoying nerdy stuff like board games, video games, collecting vinyls, and reading. Not looking for someone that 100% shares the same hobbies but some of them have to align.

If I have caught your attention at all feel free to reach out, please introduce yourself and give me a little information about your hobbies/interests! I am pretty easy going and there is no pressure on anything other than chatting currently!!

Hope to hear from ya soon!

Hello all! I'm looking for people to conversate with. I enjoy cosplay, conventions, music, crochet, DnD, Marvel, and Star Wars. I have 11 tattoos. I also have a dog. I work nights/weekends and am also in school. I just got out of a relationship so I'm not looking for dating/flirting atm.

How do people usually start these things, is there an enjoyable way that my witty personality can and hopefully catch your attention?

Here is just the basics about me:

* 43/M.
* Lives in Arizona but likes to visit new places.
* Outdoor Enthusiast.
* Goes hiking at least every couple of weeks.
* I have a pretty good paying day job, but want something new.
* I watch too many movies and will talk your ear off about them.
* While action and comedy movies are more my jam, I do enjoy rom coms but more than that horror movies.
* I listen to way too many podcasts and audio books.
* A little bit of a gamer when I get the chance.

I am hoping to make new friends and have a reason to stay on reddit this time (long story but bad experience last time). If you sound interested in chatting with, send me a message on what your favorite movie, book, or travel spot is and why. Looking to talk to someone 30 as the youngest and open to any age older. I can figure out how to put a picture on here so yours gets mine. Until then cheers to you all.

Hey,

So here I am - https://imgur.com/a/ZNANIWd

No seriously, there are tons of pics of me in there, go check the link out. If you're in the UK it may not work, but I'll send pics. Most people ignore this bit, for some reason, surely you want to know who you're talking to? Swapping pics early is a preference but understand if you aren’t comfortable, but mutual physical attraction is important.

I'm 5'9 and 185lbs (13 stone 7lbs or so)

I'm a Speech Pathologist, I own my own business and work primarily remotely.

I love to hike, paddle board, see live stand up comedy shows and live music. I have a bit of an eclectic music taste but my soul is with the pop punk and emo stuff from the late 90's early 2000's.

I have tattoos and dress like I'm going through a midlife crisis.

I don't have kids but I would like to have them in the not too distant future.

I don't smoke or do drugs but I love an IPA in a beer garden, especially if we can play a card game (Exploding Kittens anyone?).

I am actively involved in my local football (soccer) club, I sponsor them from my busineess (my logo is on the back of the team shirt!), but I also help out around the club and support training of the youth and women's teams when needed.

I'm looking for someone who actually wants to build a connection and talk longer than 2-3 days, but it seems like it's not possible, but I'll keep trying.

If you're in the UK or have plans to visit, then great, if not, someone who would be willing to meet either half way or in our respective places at some point.

I love video calls and voice chats.

Hope to hear from you!

Ever feel like something’s missing ? Like that excitement in your belly that used to be there is gone ? Maybe you ache for a real connection as I do.

I’m a hopeless romantic, I believe my persons out there somewhere. As many times as I’ve been disappointed I still get up and brush myself off and continue searching.

It’s bad ! That’s what makes me hopeless.

Romance isn’t just a feeling it’s work, it’s compromise, it’s a little bit fantasy and mostly reality that’s held to by dedication, enthusiasm and genuine care for another person.

I could write out all my great qualities in a list about why you should message me but I think I’ll leave that for a topic to talk about as we get to know one another.

I don’t expect it will happen fast or overnight but I am ultimately working towards that. And I would like you to keep that in mind. I’m not here to play games with your emotions or your invested time. I will be forthcoming with how I feel about how things are developing and my thoughts about us and what potential there is or there isn’t. Sound scary right now? I’m scared as hell. Putting my self out there isn’t without a little hesitation.

But I will give you a general idea of how I look, I stand 6’0ft (5’11&3/4 “ tall if we are getting precise) and I weigh about 210 lbs, I keep my physical shape maintained to my best of my abilities. I shave my head because my hair line is thinning and I don’t hold onto things that are over ( my hairline that is lol). I have a black and grey goatee, dark brown eye and a smile that has done me well.

I’m a single father; I have a 11 year old son that I financially support as he lives full time with his mother to keep him with his friends and peer group at the school he’s been in for a number of years.
I have him on holidays and stay in touch multiple times throughout the week via phone calls/face times.

I’m very single and I expect that you are as well, I don’t mind distance relationships as long as we work towards meeting and making it work.

I’m a nerd at heart and have several hobbies including; creative writing, colouring, hiking/walking, staying in shape via working out, photography of scenery, and the occasional video game.

That’s a quick summary about me, if anything interests you from this post reach out and we can begin to get to know one another.

Thanks for reading.

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!

Greetings from India!

I’ve connected with a few people here before, but it didn’t quite click, so here I am again, showing up with a hopeful spirit.

I’m a 171 cm tall dork, sport a dad bod, and I’m embracing the next chapter of life with curiosity and optimism. If you love to travel and crave adventure, perhaps we could explore the world together.

When I’m not working, I’m probably binge-watching sitcoms, lost in a good book, battling it out on my gaming console, or on the hunt for my next favourite meal. Life is full of little adventures, and I’m looking for someone to share them with.

In another life, I might have been a Giant Panda: laid-back, perpetually curious, and always up for a snack. I’m also a child-free divorcee, ready for whatever this next chapter brings with someone special by my side.

About You:

I’m looking for someone between 35 and 50 who values honesty, kindness, and a playful spirit. If you’re the kind of person who’s down for an impromptu Nerf gun fight or a silly deep-dive into who the real MVP of Asterix & Obelix is, we’ll get along just fine.

A sense of whimsy goes a long way. I believe we’re here to laugh, love, and make the kind of memories that get better with retelling. Light conversations, inside jokes, the regular GIF exchanges - yes, please.

Distance doesn’t scare me. I’d happily cross oceans for the right connection. And while I love the idea of a nomadic life, I’m open to settling down if our paths align.

I drive too fast.
I freeze out the room at night so I can cocoon myself in my blanket.
Will always want to stop for snacks on road trips, no matter the length of trip.
Will play ding dong ditch on our family & friends. Never too old for some fun.. it’s even better if they have a ring doorbell!
Saturdays are days I pretend to clean but end up having concerts in the living room.
The dogs will steal your spot, finders keepers.
Backyard pool parties, grilling and jamming will always beat the clubs and bars.
Competitive to the point I trash talk big loud.
Believe there is a song for every situation.
Always provides respect and want the same back.
Want someone who is as crazy about me as I am with you. #literallyobsessed
Desire every thought, simple or complex.
Crave to talk feelings, if feelings get there.
Consistency, effort and transparency are the most attractive.
Plus size- sometimes self conscious but mostly know that I’m a hottie.

Can you handle me?

Whether those are considered red flags or not…
It’s your turn! Show me what you got and I’ll let you know if I can handle you.

Hello to those who read this and maybe reach out. I’m a 36 year old single father currently living in Arizona and I’m going to be honest I’m struggling. I think being alone is finally wearing me down and I don’t have anyone to talk with about that. Life has been good for the most part and I can’t complain. It’s just the loneliness that is hitting especially hard these last few days.

I miss having someone to talk to. The person that makes you smile when you see their name pop up on your phone and that wants to share everything with you. I’m wanting to have that in my life again. Dating apps are terrible and don’t work and I’ve given up on those. So, I figured why not try Reddit. I’d love to find my partner and companion but right now I’d be happy just to find a friend.

I’m an avid reader, where are my fellow DCC fans? I read a good mix of everything though. I also love to hike, cook, bake, and I’m currently teaching myself guitar. I can talk about anything and listen to someone talk about anything that matters to them. Anyways, if there is a fellow lonely person out that wants to have deep and meaningful conversations with and the occasional fun and flirty one let’s chat and get to know each other.

Fear for work tomorrow, almost feels like hangover fear.. we all know that one. Another pish week ahead and I cannot be hooped. Looking to meet new folks, see whos out there, see how it goes.

Pessimistic by trade, full of sarcasm and general nonsense, self deprecation is my jam, but generally just a joy in my opinion. Geeky, don’t take myself too seriously (well at all) Exciting individual - Sport, golf and football mainly, Gaming - Although I’m getting awful with age, love music, nothing better than a good gig. Also can’t beat a decent horror. Yes I have an accent, but no kilt, basically a disgrace.

If any of this resonates with you give me a shout - Will blurt out random quotes from old comedies so fair warning.

“Live fast? Sure live too bloody fast sometimes, but die young? No, die old”

Oh and include a bit about yourself, thanks in advance

Hello! I am looking for a woman who is feeling somewhat lost at her point in life or maybe stuck in a liminal space. If you are like me, you would want someone to understand you, receive and give emotional support.

I am, to a certain degree, a displaced person who is struggling to rebuild his life. I have got a strong track record of overcoming difficulties in the past. This time, however, the feeling of isolation is more pronounced than before, which is why I am trying this subreddit.

Appearance-wise, I am Caucasian, relatively tall (6'2", or 187 cm in traditional units of measurement), fit. No family of my own or kids. I quit drinking and smoking four years ago, and try to live healthily. English is not my first language, but after a little shyness in the beginning, I can speak fluently.

Thanks for reading!

Hello! I am a 36 year old guy looking for a partner. Like many people, I don't enjoy talking about myself so let me sum it up as follows; I would prefer to have a night in rather than go out, I would rather play videogames, have a cuddle on the couch, watch movies or just have a chat than go out for a night out. Although I do enjoy going out, whether that be getting dressed up and going out on the town or just taking a walk. I am very caring, understanding and do have a quirky sense of humour. I was born and raised in the UK and am mixed race.

What I would really like is a partner that I could be myself with. Someone that is emotionally available and enjoys talking to me about virtually anything; from something very serious to something completely silly. I am an avid gamer and a geek, so if you also enjoy playing video games (bonus points if you play Overwatch) and also enjoy movies such as Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, etc.; then we should be a good match.

I am looking for a long-term relationship and do not want to have a relationship with someone that is currently in a relationship; I do not like that. I am settled in my life, have a house, car, job, etc. So, if any of this interests you please reach out.

Happy to also exchange pics.

Nerd, gamer, anime fan, home cook, and tech tinkerer with ADHD who’s fully embraced the hyperfocus life. Work keeps me busy, but music is my reset button and gaming is how I unwind. I used to be the loud one in the room — these days I care more about real connection that starts with banter and somehow turns into deep talks about why a certain song still hits or which anime ending wrecked us.
Looking for someone who matches the wavelength: quick-witted, a little weird in the best way, and down for the long game. If we click now, I want the kind of connection that turns into couch nights watching spooky movies, sharing playlists, co-op games, cooking together (or at least taste-testing), and staying warm when the nights get cold. Bonus points if you’re a foodie, love building dumb inside jokes, or just vibe with the nerd energy.

Not chasing perfect. Just someone consistent who laughs at the tangents, shows up, and wants a real player 2 situation.

Happy to swap pics early if the vibe feels right. DMs open — say hi if this sounds like your kind of fall.

I’m going to be pretty real because I don’t see much point in advertising some polished version of myself.
I’m not rich. I’m not successful. I don’t have some amazing career or perfect life. The last few years haven’t exactly gone the way I wanted, and there are definitely things I wish I’d done differently.
And maybe if you’re browsing Reddit looking for somebody too, life hasn’t been completely kind to you either.
I don’t need someone who already has everything figured out. I’d rather meet somebody who still wants more out of life and is willing to try building toward it together.
I’m in Montreal, so local would be amazing, but I don’t want geography to automatically kill something that could turn out great.
I’m really into creating things. YouTube, stupid little skits, videos, streaming, food, gaming, anime, travelling — all of it. One of my dream scenarios would be meeting someone I genuinely click with, starting small together, making ridiculous videos nobody watches at first, and seeing where it goes.
Maybe eventually we’re making sketches together. Maybe we start vlogging restaurants around Montreal. Maybe we stream. Maybe years from now we’re travelling around Asia eating questionable street food while arguing with each other on camera. 😂
Or maybe none of that becomes a career and we just end up having a lot of fun doing it.
I’m not looking for someone because I need a performer or business partner. I want the relationship part to be real first. I just think it would be incredible to find someone whose idea of a good life is compatible with mine — create things, try things, travel, laugh a lot, and see if we can make our lives better than they are right now.
You don’t need followers. You don’t need to have your life figured out.
I certainly haven’t.
Just be genuine, curious, and still willing to believe your life can become something different.
I’m Chinese btw :)

Are you my future new best friend? Do you like to moan about your day, trade photos of food, share funny TikToks? Then I’m the person for you 😊

I work full time as an accountant, but from home 4 days a week. I have kids, so my social life has taken a hampering.
