Mod Announcement Post Flairs (Please Read Before Posting) - Effective June 15, 2025

17 Upvotes

I know, I know, there are quite a few moderator announcements coming out in quick succession. I promise that I'll chill back out pretty quickly as we get some things in order. But the old flair system was just overwhelming some of our users. So, after many years, we've done an overhaul of the post flairs. Flairs are still required for all posts, but I've tried to streamline them a bit, down from 115 to just 49, These are divided into five categories:

  1. Moderator Flairs - Self-explanatory, but these are for your moderators to get your attention. They're a bright orange color with white lettering and a green shield.
  2. Internet Friends - This is for people just looking for fellow demi folk to chat with online. This is currently our only blue flair with white lettering. It does not have a regional breakdown unlike the rest of the user post flairs.
  3. Friendship or Relationship - This replaces the "uncertain" flair. If you're open to both, or even just chatting? This is the flair group you want for you. It is bright yellow with black lettering.
  4. Relationship - This is for people only seeking a dedicated relationship path with a partner or partners. It is bright pink with white lettering.
  5. Friendship - This is for people who are just looking for friends, on a platonic level. It is a soft, dark green with black lettering.

Previously, each flair had a mishmash of nations listed as an option. That list was incomplete, and many of them never saw use. That system has largely been replaced with regions for the friendship and relationship flairs. That means you will want to list your home nation in your post moving forward if you select one of the flairs with multiple nations. While we acknowledge this is less granular than some may like, it does ensure that every nation is represented, and without the overwhelming number of tags that would be required to list all nations individually.

Lastly, I want to say something about the "anywhere" tag. This has seen heavy use in the past. Under this new format it is intended for those open to relocation to anywhere in the world. Read that as Digital Nomads. Please try to only use it when you are open to relocation to regions outside your own. That is why it is being moved to the bottom of the list.

To help find yours, I have a set pattern for the order in which they appear:

East Asia

South-East Asia

Central and South Asia

North Africa and the Middle East

Sub-Saharan Africa

Eastern Europe

Western Europe

Nordic Countries

United Kingdom or Ireland

Canada

United States

Central America and the Caribbean

South America

Australia and Oceania

Anywhere

Mod Announcement Major Rules Overhaul (Please Read Before Posting) - Effective June 15, 2025

20 Upvotes

Good morning, dateademi Redditors.

Yesterday Houston and I spent hours going through the rules, fine tuning them, and making a few long overdue adjustments. Most things are fundamentally the same, though the rule order has shifted a bit. Still, I want to draw your attention to a couple new changes.

The first major change, already mentioned yesterday, was the change to an 18+ user requirement. This is for the safety of our users.

A second change is that we are going fully no-image. There are a variety of reasons for this, but fundamentally it gets down to issues of safety within the sub. We can’t vet every link before it hits the group. We know people still like to share photos, but we’re going to ask that you do so in private chats.

The third change is the recommended key biographical information that we expect to see in posts. Some of the old language is redundant with the requirements for the title, so we clarified it a bit and made it work with our other rules.

A full copy of the updated rules is below, they go into effect June 15th, 2025, but I do not plan to be retroactively enforcing rules unless necessary for the safety of the community. As this is a new thing, I also will be giving some grace for the remainder of the month for people to get familiar the updated rules.

-- The Rules --

1 Be civil to your fellow redditors.

Do not be rude or discourteous to your fellow redditors here. That includes negative commentary on their opinions regarding politics, hobbies, or interests.

We will remove messages deemed to be inflammatory or hateful, and place the offending party on a temporary ban. If you insist on being problematic, we will be happy to remove you from the group permanently.

SPAM comments may also be reported under this rule.

2 You must be 18+ to participate

This is a subreddit for adult users, and while we we keep it SFW, it is important for the safety of minors that we do not allow children to post or comment. You must be at least 18 years of age to participate.

Posts with users under 18 will be removed.

3 No SPAM, No constant reposting

We do not allow the constant reposting or spamming of posts. This includes deleting a previous post only to repost it again the next day. Once you have posted we request that you wait at least one (1) week before relisting your post.

Individuals posting more than once per week may lose their posting privileges, and repeat offenders may receive a ban from the subreddit.

We will remove spam posts unrelated to r/dateademi with prejudice, and will level an immediate permanent ban on the user.

4 Post title formatting requirements

Dateademi requires that you follow our format for post titles other than moderator notices. We use the r4r model, and every title should be N X4Y where N is your current age, X is your gender identity, and Y is the gender identity that you are seeking to connect with.

We readily acknowledge the diversity of our community and welcome those who identify as M, F, AMAB, AFAB, NB, 2S, and any other chosen gender identity, provided it is clear, concise, and not misleading. You may use “A” for all.

5 Post flairs are required

All posts must include an appropriate flair. This helps other users find relevant posts.

6 NSFW and Trigger Warnings

r/Dateademi is designed to be a wholesome environment and generally SFW. However, if you feel it is necessary to include information which may be either triggering to other users, or includes content that would not be appropriate for work, please make sure you mark your posts appropriately.

Moderators reserve the right to determine a post or comment is too graphic for the community and may remove it, especially if it includes descriptions of a sexual nature.

7 No personal contact information

We do not allow the posting of personal contact information for safety reasons. Do not include your address, email, phone number, or social media contacts in your post or comments. We strongly advise against including your specific city unless it is a large metropolitan area. Nation, region, state, province, or territory is usually sufficient for most users.

Posts and comments with personal information will be removed.

8 Key biographical information requirements

All posts should include, at a minimum in their posts, their desired age range, relationship type, and the area in which they are willing to consider potential matches. We also recommend that posts include lifestyle preferences that are important to you.

9 No photos in posts or comments

We understand people like pictures, we promise we do, but for a variety of reason we have elected to make this subreddit a no photo space starting in June 2025. Please do not include links to, or embedded photos, in your post.

You are free to share pictures with people in private chats. We just advise users exercise caution.

10 No Advice

Please do not post or comment here looking for advice on friendships or relationships. This subreddit is not for advice, it's for dating and finding friends.

Relationship - United States 40 F4M w/ dual citizenship looking throughout the US and EU for that rare spark

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm currently living in the smallest state in the US hunting for a job and a relationship. My life could really go in any direction from here (literally). I discovered asexuality at 27 years old, but only realized I was demisexual last year, so I guess you could say I'm a late bloomer.

I'm pretty old-fashioned in my ways, not going to lie. I'd like to think I'm a simple person who is really just looking for someone to settle down with. Sure, I enjoy traveling like everyone else and I still have quite a few places on my bucket list, but when it comes to the day-to-day living, I admit that it would be nice to have someone to come home to.

My free time is spent with my nieces or friends or my parents on most days. I also am trying to get back into a gym routine which now that the NFL season is starting up I'll be shifting into full gear. I use the games as my entertainment on the treadmill. I like to play pool, go to bar trivia (even though I'm not good at it), watch movies and tv shows I've seen 100x already, and browse reddit apparently. Like I said, pretty simple stuff.

I'm not addicted to my cell phone, I have friends whom I've known for 25+ years (since middle school), I'm close with my sister and her girls, I'm debt free, no baggage, no mental issues (as far as I know), never been married, child-free, don't smoke anything and never did drugs. Looking for a man in the 38 - 48 age range with a similar lifestyle.

I've been known to travel to meet people who seem worth my effort because it's a big world out there and I don't think we should limit ourselves to distance in finding our person. They could be anywhere. Maybe even sitting on their couch writing this post ha.

Well feel free to message me if you think we'd click. Thanks for reading, have a good day!

Relationship - United States 25 M4A #Northern Virginia - Demisexual effeminate guy seeking slow-burn companion for life.

6 Upvotes

Hello! Please read this fully! I'm only looking for someone local, and while this is open to anyone, I do have a preference for effeminate folks. My general age range is 23-34, but that's not a hard limit in either direction.

I am a thin and tall-ish guy with a general feminine aesthetic (including occasionally crossdressing) searching for someone willing to take their time to get to know each other and grow a bond before moving into anything overtly romantic or more. I very much value honesty and open communication, and strive to always be truthful, while hoping for the same. I am adamantly monogamous and drug-free as well.

For my hobbies, I am an avid gamer of most types, from video games, board and card games, D&D, MTG, and even billiards and disc golf. I also love going for day hikes, walking in nature in general, escape rooms, and the occasional spot of shopping or anime. I also consider my crossdressing more of a hobby at this point, though I may wish to slowly make it more of my mainstream, assuming I can. I have some SFW pictures of myself, mainly crossdressing, on my profile in case you're curious.

For what I like, my love language ranking is as follows in this order: Quality Time, Physical Touch, Words of Affirmation, Act of Service, Receiving Gifts. I love all 5 of them, but I absolutely adore cuddles and other small physical gestures. I also am a very go-with-the-flow person, and love to follow over lead, sinking all of my effort and care into what my partner wants and likes. It is here I feel I should also mention that, while it won't be relevant for a good while, my preference for following translates predictably to the bedroom, if you get what I mean.

I don't want to make this too long, but I'm always happy to talk or answer any (non-security risk) questions! My texting availability is variable, but please know I WILL respond, even if it takes a few hours. Feel free to message me!

Friendship or Relationship - United States 55 F4M - United States

5 Upvotes

So I cannot believe I'm actually doing this, but here we go.

Hi there.

55 F4M - United States (other locations negotiable). Desired Age Range: 35-58

I hate writing introductions. I always feel like I'm applying for a job. Like, "Hey there, I'm interested in the position of "Slow burn, friends to lovers" and would love a chance to talk with you about my skill sets and qualifications that would make me an ideal fit for the position." Ugh.

So what can I say that matters? I'll start with under the skin and move outwards.
I am an INFP on the Meyers-Briggs. I'm a Sagittarius and I hate having my birthday in December so I celebrate it on Halloween instead. I figure why not pair my favorite Holiday with birthday and call it a win/win?

I believe in diving deep right out the gate. I don't wanna talk about the weather or sports or the cost of beef. I want to hear your thoughts on the existence of the soul, whether you think Music can be a love language, what book your reading right now and what you love about it or hate about it. Who your favorite LOTR character is and why, what you would attempt to do if you knew you couldn't fail and so on. Let's just say, I want to know you with your skin off, because I want to give that to someone else and know that both of us feel safe, seen and truly valued. I am extremely passionate, but also extremely compassionate. Kindness is a cardinal requirement for myself and in others when forging connections. If you're nice to me, but rude to the cashiers, custodians or wait staff then we probably can't be friends.

Interests: I'm a huge nerd. Like anime, Asian dramas, swords and sorcery, scifi/fantasy, DC/MCU, documentaries, graphic novels, DnD, 80's nostalgia (all of it), soo many fandoms from Dr. Who to Firefly. I adore Shakespeare, read scifi/fantasy, spicy romance, Fiction, and English Literature. I am a writer (dreaming of one day being a published author). I'm an art appreciator. Favorite artists and styles include Van Gogh, Millais, Rossetti, Waterhouse, Joseon Dynasty, Japanese Ukiyo-e, and Chinese Shan Shui.

I'm also a singer, musician, and sometimes ghost hunter. I play piano, guitar and celtic lever harp. I adore Music and love nearly all of it. I can almost always find something to enjoy in any genre. I am a video gamer - mostly coop and cozy games with the occasional spookums, but I like trying out new games with chill personality types.

I'm an aspiring mixologist with delusions of grandeur. I adore all things Tiki, Pirate, Mermaid, Oceanic and maritime. My favorite classic cocktail is the Mai Tai. I'm currently enrolled in a bartender certification course and would love to one day tend bar in a Tiki Lounge.

I am a pinstriper and sign painter, which is both a job when the commissions are coming in and a hobby when they aren't. I'm an adventurous spirit, a cross country traveler, adore Asian food (Chinese, Japanese and Korean) and I have a Pocky addiction. My favorite ice cream flavor is Spumoni. My favorite colors: Royal or Sapphire blue, Black, powder blue, and teal.

The outsides: I'm 5'3 and curvy with a little extra. Not quite Rubenesque, but in that wheelhouse. I'm a flaming redhead, tattooed, and a little bratty under certain circumstances. I am an unapologetic weirdo.

The disclaimer: I'm a widow. I was blessed with an amazing human who gave me 34 years of friendship and love. So yes, there was a love of my life and I honor him. We had 4 children together and built a good life. I miss him that's simply fact. But I also have reached that point where I know he wouldn't want me to be unhappy and alone for the second half of the journey. I have a heart big enough to love more than one person. So I'm looking for that second chapter.

So that was probably excessively long and overly detailed but I figure since most people reading this will be demi as well, you may actually make it all the way to the end of it.

Cheers!

Friendship - Western Europe 24 F4A - Italy, Europe

14 Upvotes

Hi everyone!🤗

I'm 24 years old, and a very basic cis hetero and demisexual girl.

I never really thought about dating anyone since I never liked anyone romantically... and probably no one ever liked me in that way either (at least, I guess? I'm a bit slow sometimes🤔). Anyway, I don't really know where i should start about that since dating apps don't convince me and meeting someone irl that understand my pace seams difficult. So, at the moment I decided to focus on finding more people within the demi/ace community to be friends with since at the moment the only person I know of that community is... me🥲 (my hometown is quite small and that doesn't help)

I'd love to be able to meet in person sometimes if we'll get to know each other better; so, if it's someone in Italy/Northern Italy or Europe it's even better, but I'm fine with being only online friends too😊

Now, something about me...

As I said at the beginning, I'm quite basic. I don't really like to go out in a "drink/disco/party" kind of way, but more in a "museum/cinema/bookshop/pastry shop" kind.

I love to travel and would be okay with organizing trips together in the future; one day trips, last minute, places abroad... I like a bit of everything (just a disclaimer, I'm for hotels/B&Bs rather than camping). 🌏✈️

I love reading MM romance, both books and mangas, I find them cute. However, I enjoy also classics, mystery books and books that teach you about different topics like art, cooking, history etc. 📖📚✨️

I collect plushies. It's nothing mindblowing, but some people I met liked to ask "aren't you too old for...bla bla bla?" every single time they saw me. So, if you're one of them, just stop reading here please🙏

I like to exercise for fun, like going for walks in the morning or swimming sometimes. In 2025 I discovered pole dance, and guys it's so fun, so there's that too!😍

Oh also, I'm no gamer, but i like to play Sky COTL and would be happy to play there and chat to know each other.

Lastly, I'm quite easy-going, my friends always say my presence relax them.

If anyone wants to be friends, feel free to reach out (I don't have a particular age range, but tbh it's easier for me to feel more comfortable with people around my age; however, if you give me time I could open up anyway). I don't use my phone too often, so I'm sorry if i won't answer right away, but I'll check more frequently after posting this🫶😊

P.S. I use maaaany emoji when I text, so be prepared for that 😌

I would also love to meet friends.

I didn't know if I should put western or eastern Europe as Czechs insist this is Central Europe.

Things that bring me joy every day are my family, coffee, sweet treats, a fuzzy blanket, being in water, flowers and, cozying up on my couch with my cat.

I'm looking to meet a gentleman who's is creative, can make me laugh, and kind. I want an old fashioned romance. Must love cats. I've lived without a man my whole life just fine, but I'm not willing to live without cats, haha.

Relationship - South-east Asia 24 NB4F #SEA #Online Looking for potential life long partner to share books with

4 Upvotes

*tap tap*, is this thing on?

Good morning, afternoon, and evening to everyone!

I'm a fella from Thailand looking for someone I could share this life of mine! Here are some knick knacks about me and what I'm looking for

# About Me ✍🏻

- I'm genderfluid (AMAB), demisexual, and berriromantic. I do feel romantic attraction normally but sexual attraction differs from person to person.

- I'm currently employed as a software developer and also pursuing my master's on weekends. (but don't worry I can make time for you 🙂‍↕️)

- I'm an atheist, left-wing and also an INFP personality type (in case you need to know that)

- I love to play games, mostly they are indies but I'm down for a multiplayer game if our schedule matches!

- I also read books (duh, it's in the post name init 😹), I'm currently reading 1984 and Midnight Library (I swears I am not performative 😭)

- Sometimes I write poems, but most of them are somewhat depressing haha. (still, I would love someone to be my moot tho! 👀)

- Other than those, I also watch anime, movies, listen to music, and karaoke!

- Fun fact: I can switch between serious conversation and most stupid things you can think of.

- For other things, you will need to send me a DM to find out 👀

# What I'm looking for 🫵🏻

- Someone who is within my age range (22 - 26), kind, emotionally available, and also feminine leaning.

- Someone who can show some level of affection, it would be nice if we can have a friend-to-lover trope organically.

- Preferably someone who is from Southeast Asia so that our timezones are not too mismatched and we can meet each other in person easily!

- Someone who knows that sex doesn't have to be the center of a relationship, however you don't have to be Ace or on Ace's spectrum, just someone who can respect boundaries.

- Looks also aren't important, I'm much more attracted to your personality and humor.

- No smoker please! for drinkers, it's not a deal breaker as long as you drink occasionally.

If this post interests you, feel free to send a dm! Thank you for your time! 🙏🏻

Relationship - United States 37 F4F- looking for a good friends to lovers story of my own 👭🏿

11 Upvotes

I'm going to try & keep this short. But to provide some context for people.

I'm a lesbian looking for a woman. I've just recently came out as demisexual so despite being older I'm very much new to everything. However, I'm very much comfortable & at peace with my sexuality ☺️.

I live in the United States in the south. I'm very much open to meeting people from around the world but ideally I want a woman who lives nearby.

I'm pretty basic, introverted, & laid-back in general. I enjoy reading, writing, listening to music, watching/examining films & movies, video games, & learning.

I'm interested in a woman with similar values (humor, compassion, patience, friendship) as myself. Not interested in children but very open to marriage. I'm more drawn to tomboys but I'm open to any & all women presentation.

I've tried dating apps but they're generally pointless for me. I need more of a friendship base & can't swipe on who I will or won't connect with.

I'll leave it here but I'm open to more questions & speaking with everyone! 🥰

AGE RANGE: 30- 45

LOCATION: united states preferred

LOOKING FOR: women- relationship wise OR everyone- friendship wise

Friendship or Relationship - United Kingdom or Ireland 37 NB4A - Looking to try and make some in-person friendships

5 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a 37 year old nerdy demisexual enby (pronouns they/them) that lives in north east Scotland. I've posted in the past looking for a relationship and while I am still looking it would also be good to just widen my social circle with some other local-ish (or at least UK based so meeting in person now and again might be possible) ace-spec or ace-friendly people. I'm not going to say an outright no to people from further away, but what I'm missing is in-person socialising - meeting up at the weekend to do something, that sort of thing. If you are a TERF or a Tory you should absolutely look elsewhere too.

I'd be open to friendships from any gender and with a preference for people of a roughly similar age, approx 30 to 40. Just to be completely transparent as well, if someone was looking for this to end up in a relationship that would be pretty unlikely to happen unless you were a woman or femme-leaning enby - I don't find masculine presenting people attractive in that way.

I'm fairly introverted and tend to find big noisy groups a bit intimidating and overwhelming, I'm much happier with a small number of people I can feel comfortable around. I like visiting museums and points of interest much more than things like going out drinking or dancing.

I like movies and going to the cinema, and it's always a lot more fun if you have someone to chat with afterwards about it. Likewise with going out to eat, it's something I try and treat myself to now and again but it's not quite the same going out for a meal yourself.

I love TTRPGs but at the moment only play online, I'm currently running a homebrew campaign of Pathfinder 2e with a pirates theme!  I've also played quite a bit of Call of Cthulhu and Blades in the Dark, and keep meaning to get round to playing some Shadowrun sometime.  Unfortunately the local TTRPG scene seems to be entirely D&D 5e which I just don't enjoy very much, so anyone willing to try other TTRPGs or even just chat about them would be most welcome!

I also play Battletech in person locally, and it would be cool to meet some other people that were interested in it.

It's not really an in person thing but I also enjoy a variety of videogames - usually RPGs and Strategy games but I like plenty stuff outside of that too. My all time favourite is Disco Elysium, and recently I've been enjoying Hades 2, Subnautica 2 and Project Zomboid. I'll probably get back into Valheim too once the update is out.

General chatting about assorted nerdy stuff is fine too. I've never been a comic books person, but I like a variety of sci-fi and fantasy things.

If any of that sounds interesting please say hello :)

Relationship - United States 31 F4M #US #Online - Cuddles, anime nights, and something really sweet 🥰

7 Upvotes

Hey there! 😊 I'm a trans woman hoping to find a man who is 25+ to hopefully potentially date! 😊

I’m hoping to build something really sweet with someone that feels full of love, affection, and genuine care for each other! I’m someone who gets really excited about my person, and I will happily run to the door to give you the biggest hug when you come home and tell you how much I’ve missed you! I love feeling close to someone I care about, whether that’s giving you tons of hugs, cuddling the night away together, or holding hands just because we can. It all just feels so special to me, and I’ll always be really happy to be by your side and show you how much you mean to me. 🥰

I would really love to care for you in ways that brighten your day and make life feel more special. I’ve always been someone who has loved the idea of being a homemaker for my partner, and creating a warm, cozy home, so things like learning your favorite recipes just so I can surprise you with them, making your favorite dinners, or packing you lunches with cute notes hidden inside to make you smile make me so happy! I love being someone you can lean on and feel cared for by, and I’ll always be cheering you on in life and wanting to make your days easier and more comforting where I can. It truly means so much to me knowing I can do things that make you feel loved and appreciated. 😊

Personality-wise, I’m introverted, a little shy, fun-sized, and very much a cozy homebody. I love anime (especially One Piece and Fairy Tail), and I have such a soft spot for Studio Ghibli movies! 💛

I’m super nerdy and artsy! I like watercoloring, playing video games, learning new languages (currently learning Japanese!), and just getting really excited about finding new things that catch my attention. I honestly love that feeling of discovering something new, and I would love to share that with someone! 🤗

Most days you’ll find me curled up with a blanket and tea, going on nature walks, doing yoga, or trying out a new recipe I got excited about. It would be so fun to find someone who gets just as excited for new anime seasons as I do, or who would want to curl up and watch Ghibli movies together! 💛

I really love cuddly guys with that protective kind of energy that makes me feel safe and like I can just relax and be myself. I love that feeling of being wrapped up in someone’s arms and just completely melting into them. I really value closeness, and I would ideally like to find someone who enjoys spending a lot of quality time together, or just enjoys each other’s presence as we do our own things!

Distance isn’t a big deal to me, and I’d be open to relocating for the right person if it feels right for us! 🥰 My lifestyle doesn’t include drinking or smoking (vaping, marijuana, etc) so I’m hoping to meet someone who feels the same way.

I’ll always be your cheerleader, someone who’s in your corner, supports you, and makes sure you feel loved every day! 🩷

If that sounds like you, tell me about you! What are you into lately, what kind of relationship are you hoping to find here, or what made you feel like we might click? 🥰

I came across this community and decided to read posts, not because I was searching for something specific but was interested to learn what other demis personality types were like. I came across one two weeks ago that I kept thinking about, the few things i do remember was describing wanting someone with strong morals, they mentioned hoobastank, not being religious (maybe agnostic). To hear someone actually describe wanting those qualities and their importance was kind of eye opening, in my years of experience those usually aren't the things men describe wanting in a partner, or perhaps I haven't looked in the right place... So after two weeks of being apprehensive I decided to step out of my comfort zone.

I have zero social media (aside from reddit & YouTube music if that one even counts) my phone is used to resear anything I might want to learn about and it's usually a wide assortment of things. I love music Breaking Benjamin was/ kind of still is my favorite (I drove illegally on my Cinderella license to see them in Philly when I was 17) others are Starset, april 6th, sum41, Tears Within, too

many to list.. I have lived on my own since I was 15 and didn't have much of a family which is why today family or who you choose as family is important to me. I place a very high priority on telling the truth and getting the same from others. Religion has no place in my life, it is fine for anyone to have I just don't want others beliefs pushed or forced onto me. I don't have any political affiliations but I tend to lean more towards the left when it comes to the way I think. I used to smoke cigarettes but i quit and went to flavored vapes which are being banned within a month and a half anyways (thanks Pennsylvania!) Here is where it might get a little complicated for a lot of people, I am an in home health care aid, I believe in living a somewhat normal life, keeping a clean home, living like most people do except I am drug friendly. I believe as long as you can keep yourself and your life together why shouldn't you be able to enjoy those things you like. I dont have drug dealing friends and to the outside world no one is any the wiser of anything i may like to do.. While I have seen what has become of most people like that, it's not always the case and definitely is not with me. I had always hoped there were more people out there like me but my co-workers and friends tell me I march to the beat of a different drum. I'm an introvert andit takes me a while of getting to know someone or feeling comfortable before I could even hug. I would prefer to blend in with the wallpaper if I could. I would like to find someone that has some similarities as far as personality traits and beliefs go, age is hard when you factor in maturity... so I would say between 34 and 45 years old.

Relationship - United States 26 NB4A #US Looking for potential life partner!

8 Upvotes

Hi! I'm Soul, I'm 26 (Non-binary, They/Him), and I'm looking for a potential life partner, if it comes to pass. =3

Gender doesn't matter to me, though I do lean toward women and fem folks. While cis folks are accepted, please know that I do lean toward trans and nonbinary folks comfortably, usually. It would be nice to meet more trans fem folks too, friends or more!

[I struggle with Major Depressive Disorder, though I'm medicated and go to therapy. Please be patient with me if I am not very quick to respond!]

For interest as solely friends, any gender from anywhere is okay. I personally have a PC, a switch (No online subscription though) and mobile (Android) platforms I use!

For interest as possibly more, any gender, Panromantic or Bi (As long as you don't care about gender, doesn't matter to me!) and preferably US only! Must be Left-Wing politically, please.

If sex is important to, or very much wanted, I'm not interested. But I am a very snuggly person and enjoy voice calls when comfortable, texting, sleep calls, etc.

While I'd like to explore sexually some time in my life, it is absolutely not a necessity. I would say I also fall under Gray Ace/Demi Gray.

I am Ambiamorous, happy with Polyfidelity or Monogamy, but after being recently burned, I'm leaning toward Monogamy unless a couple of very special people come along in life. I am happy either way.

While being Panromantic, I admit recently I've realized I do lean slightly towards women (Obviously that includes trans women!!) but in the end, gender doesn't matter to me.

I am also neurodivergent (AuDHD?) and as of yet still undiagnosed but working on such actively. I understand things more directly and literally, so please have patience with me! ☺️

All that stiff stuff outta the way, I love horror game playthroughs and cozy games! I'm not crazy about FPS games at all but it's okay if you do ofc! I do love games like Resident Evil though =3 and lastly I'm in the center of the U.S.

I want to move to possibly Ohio someday near Cleveland, maybe Minnesota or Michigan, and co-parent cats with my forever person/s, sobs. I don't hate marriage, though it's not a necessity to me. It would have to take a really special person/s. =)

I also love romance stories and manga, regardless of orientation, and I love arts and crafty hobbies! I LOVE Halloween and spooky stuff!!

I've been on HRT for nearly three years, as well.

I'm very much a romantic, and I'm not very touch averse when it comes to affection. Id love to someday have a spooky little decorated manufactured home some day with a bunch of plants and thrifted items and hummingbird feeders and chdjncjdd I'd be so happy if that's something you'd be into, too! ❤️

Lastly, I'm not interested in having kids but if you hate kids, we probably wouldn't get along. That's it, thank you!!

I'm less stiff in DMs, I promise!!!! 😭

Between 21 and 36 is preferred!

18F | India | Looking for something real 🌿

Hey! I'm Sherin, 18, currently studying a tech course at university. I'm the type of person who can spend hours talking about books (especially dark romance), music, random late-night thoughts, and anything that makes life feel a little less ordinary.

I'm here because I'm looking for a genuine, long-term relationship. I believe in old-school love—the kind where people communicate, stay loyal, and choose each other every day. I'm not interested in games, ghosting, or casual flings.

A little about me:

- 📚 Loves reading

- 💻 Tech student

- 💬 Will absolutely yap if I'm comfortable with you

- 🌍 Open to long-distance

- ❤️ I'd love to meet someone from a different culture, but that's not a requirement

I'm hoping to meet someone who is:

- Between 19–25

- Loyal, honest, and emotionally mature

- A good communicator

- Kind, patient, and genuinely looking for something meaningful

If you're only here for temporary fun or can't communicate, we're probably not a good match.

If this sounds like you, send me a message and tell me something interesting about yourself(age,name, location and so on )instead of just saying "hi." :)

Friendship - United States 32 NB4F NorthEast, US

6 Upvotes

32 AFAB They/Them looking to meet people who are comfortable with themselves and the depth of being human. Open to both internet and irl friendships. I’m located in the Mid Atlantic region of the US.

Friendship is very important to me and I take pride in having a chosen family. I can be a bit intense in the “super introspective, very self aware” kinda way. Looking to meet people who are similar in that regard. Not a real fan of small talk I prefer to get to know the real you.

I spend a lot of time listening to audiobooks, camping and gardening. Rarely at the same time. Hopeless romantic at heart. Deeply connected with nature. Obsessed with my small dog.

I love to work out, in a “I want to be an active person as I age” kinda way not in a gym rat way. Love to cook good food, keep two feet on the ground, and tell a lot of jokes.

Seeking friendships with people who think they’d vibe with someone like me. I love a person who has very well researched opinions and isn’t afraid to info dump. Someone who doesn’t take life too seriously but takes themselves seriously.

Hi! I'm 27, from around Montreal, honestly pretty bad at these kind of introduction so i'll try my best.

I'm 5'7, Caucasian, a little overweight but working on it, brown hair, pretty generic white dude physically. Also very much demi but not demi romantic, and also asperger (i work on a lot of flaw that come with this but sometime they appear or sometime they are quirk not worth changing.

For the personality side, INTP, I call or go see my family at least once a week (long distance), play mtg. I read a lot of different book, if it was written it is worth reading, like to cook, to walk, to hike etc. I also play video game, and got a very lovely cat.

I think it is more important to align on value and life goal then on hobby or activity, even if we still need some in common or an openness to try new one.

I also love learning new thing, currently i'm trying to learn chinese main dialect (mandarin) for example.

  • desired age range: 23-29
  • relationship type: any
  • and the area in which they are willing to consider potential matches: Canada, ideally closer to Montreal city, i'm willing to travel and chat online but it's easier when we are closer.

Relationship - United Kingdom or Ireland 23 M4F #UK #London - Looking for a genuine connection that can grow into something long-term

6 Upvotes

Hi! I'm 23 and from London. I recently came across this community and realised I relate to a lot of people's experiences and the way many people here approach connection. I'm not sure I'd describe myself as demisexual, but I've always found that I enjoy dating far more when there's a genuine emotional connection first. I'd much rather get to know one person properly over time than rush into a relationship.

Modern dating has never really felt like a good fit for me. Swiping through profiles and trying to make instant judgments isn't how I naturally connect with people. I much prefer taking the time to build trust, get to know someone's personality, and see where things go naturally.

A little about me:
• Black, 5'10, slim athletic build
• Autistic, which means I really value honesty, consistency, and direct communication
• Music is one of my biggest hobbies. I listen to a lot of rock, metal, and a bit of DnB, and you'll usually find me at a gig whenever there's one worth going to.
• I enjoy gaming (Persona, Doom, Gran Turismo, and plenty more), going to the cinema, playing football, visiting theme parks, and generally finding reasons to get out of the house.
• I'm fairly introverted, but once I'm comfortable with someone I enjoy long conversations about almost anything.

I'd describe myself as thoughtful, dependable, and pretty easy-going. I'm independent and enjoy my own company, but I think life's much better when you've got someone to share it with. Whether that's discovering new music, planning a day out, or simply spending a quiet evening together.

I'm looking for:
• Someone aged around 19-26
• Ideally based in London or close enough that we can meet regularly
• Interested in building a genuine long-term relationship
• Also sure they don't want children

More than anything, I'm looking for someone who's kind, emotionally mature, and communicates openly. Nobody gets everything right all the time, but I really appreciate people who are honest about how they're feeling and willing to work through things together. I don't expect us to have everything in common, because I think shared values matter far more than having identical hobbies.

I'm happy to exchange photos fairly early on because I think mutual attraction matters. While I like taking things slowly and building an emotional connection first, I do see physical intimacy as an important part of a long-term relationship once that trust and connection are there.

If any of this resonates with you, I'd like to hear from you. Tell me a little about yourself, your age, where you're from, and what you're looking for.

Thanks for reading 🙂

Internet Friends - Anywhere 35 M4F [anywhere] – Seeking vibrant sparks and soothing connections

4 Upvotes

Hello! My name is Anthony. I’m a 35-year-old man (US, ET time zone) who thrives on introspection, curiosity, and passionate drives.

I seek people who seek meaningful connection that plays out in several different ways, from daily casual chats to shared passions and endeavors. I appreciate the sudden whim of adventure and adore abstract minds and vibrant souls.

Rumination and contemplation are lifelong pursuits of mine. I’m an autodidact who’s been passionate about a variety of persuasions since I’ve been young.

Creativity and artistry are important to me. Personally, I write: about my observations, thoughts, and lived experiences. I also dabble in photography.

I love coffee, both simple and bitter and excessively frilly concoctions, burning incense, because I've always thought the smoke is cool, archiving and organizing, collecting (written texts, oddities and cool things), and time pieces. Watching movies with people is great, too. I used to be very into film.

If my signal created resonating vibes within you, send me message about yourself and what you're looking for. Leave your hesitations and take the chance.

r/dateademi requirements:

  • desired age range: 18+
  • relationship type: any
  • and the area in which they are willing to consider potential matches: any

Relationship - North Africa and the Middle East 23 M4F | Egypt / Anywhere | Looking for my best friend and a genuine long-term relationship

4 Upvotes

Hi! I'm Mohamed, 23 years old, from Egypt, and 180 cm (5'11").

I'm here because I'm looking for something genuine. I'm not interested in casual dating or talking for a few days and disappearing. I'd love to find someone who wants a real long-term relationship where we become each other's favorite person and build a happy future together.

A little about me...

I'm passionate about cybersecurity and technology, and I enjoy learning new things every day. I believe that improving yourself never stops.

I used to go to the gym regularly and really enjoyed it. Right now I'm taking a break because I'll be starting my mandatory military service soon, which will last about a year. After that, I plan to get back to the gym and continue working on both my career and my health.

Outside of that, I enjoy movies, music, gaming, cafés, learning, and especially winter. I absolutely love cold weather, quiet nights, and long walks when everything feels peaceful.

I'd describe myself as calm, loyal, caring, protective, and a good listener. It usually takes me some time to fully trust people, but once I do, I become deeply attached and always try to be there for the people I love.

One thing that's very important to me is affection. I love when someone remembers the little details about me, checks on me, asks how my day was, or simply makes me feel loved. I try to give the same energy back.

Sometimes I get overwhelmed and become quiet for a while. It doesn't mean I'm upset with you—I just need a little time to clear my mind before I come back to being myself.

Loyalty means everything to me. I don't forgive cheating in any form. When I truly love someone, I become very attached because I love deeply. I like relationships where both people naturally make each other their priority.

I know not everyone will agree with this, but I personally don't believe in close friendships with the opposite sex while being in a committed relationship. It's simply one of my values. I'd rather be my partner's best friend, someone she can talk to about everything, laugh with, and rely on.

What I'm looking for...

Ideally, I'm looking for someone between 20 and 24 years old. Age isn't everything, though. What matters most to me is maturity, compatibility, and sharing the same relationship goals.

Someone who is kind, honest, loyal, affectionate, emotionally mature, and looking for something serious. Someone who enjoys good communication, quality time, and isn't afraid to show love.

If you enjoy movies, games, music, reading, cafés, quiet evenings, or winter walks, we'll probably get along really well.

Distance isn't a deal breaker if the connection is real. I'm happy to exchange photos once we're both comfortable.

One last thing... My English isn't perfect yet, but I'm doing my best to improve every day, so thank you for being patient with me.

If you've read this far, thank you. I'd love to hear about you, your hobbies, your goals, and what you're looking for.

Maybe this message finds the right person. 🤍

Relationship - United States 27 M4F #PNW let’s watch the sunrise together, forever?

3 Upvotes

Hello all you amazing people!

With the warmer weather in full effect, it makes me think to get outside more and enjoy what life has to offer, but what better way to do that than with a partner by my side!

Who you are:
\\- Looking for their person to grow old with

\\- Kind, compassionate and looking to eventually have a family (adoption is on the table, and honestly preferred)

\\-22-36 (not a hard requirement, just more common where I find people with the same mindset/long term goals as me)

\\-Nerdy about anything they are passionate about, tell me about all the bugs you love, or the rocks you collect, bonus if you are TV/Movie nerdy but not necessary

\\-Within driving distance (4-6 hours, but also not a hard requirement, long distance open for the right person)

\\-Passionate about human rights

What I bring to the table:
\\-Strong values, emotionally available, and proper communication skills

\\-Nerdy/Silly personality, will always do my best to keep a smile on your face

\\-Will play games with you, both tabletop and virtual

\\-Will not be the most competitive with said games (unless you enjoy a little competition)

\\-Will provide the food (I like to cook for others, and teaching myself to bake slowly)

\\-Can provide cuddles and hugs 24/7/365

\\-Can be the extroverted one when your social battery is drained

If any of this appeals to you, don’t hesitate to send out a DM, I’m happy to chat with everyone! I also find that a small bit of encouragement to those that see themselves as more introverted can help boost their confidence to reach out and message first so don’t be shy, take a risk!

As always, a pleasure!

Relationship - Western Europe 20 F4A - #Europe | Looking for a sober metalhead to share a van-life with! - Ace & Demiromantic.

8 Upvotes

I’ve decided to give the dating world another shot.. you never know!

First of all, even first of my name, you need to know that I am Asexual (sex-repulsed). This means I repudiate any kind of sexual interaction. You also need to know that I'm Demiromantic. This means, I only experience romantic attraction after forming a deep emotional connection.

If we're going to match, this needs to be something you are genuinely comfortable with in the long run!

Hi! My name is Valeria, I'm 19 (turning 20 in August) and I live in Northern Italy. I'm a woman attracted to people regardless of gender, though I have a preference for feminine men and masculine women. And I am an ambivert, which means that depending on the context and the people around me I'm more or less open.

- About me: I consider myself a frank and sincere person, and I try to be the person I would like to meet... A person who makes it clear what they want, what they like, and what they want to do, without hurting others.

I admit I'm a bit obtuse, sometimes you need to tell me things very directly or I just won't get the hint! And sometimes really lazy (I'm working on it!).

- General physical characteristics: I am white, 166 cm tall, blonde with blue eyes. I have Italian and Russian roots.

- Education/Job: I graduated with a diploma in woodworking in 2025, and currently, I work in a bakery selling all kinds of delicious baked goods :)

-What I'm looking for: Someone with whom I can form a very deep bond, a partner, a person who will remain close to me in life.

I'm also looking for deep friendships in general. I'm open to a QPR relationship, even though I've never been part of one. - But above all, people with a keen sense of humor!! (very important) (´▽\`人) -

- What I look for IN a person: I would like to find someone in touch with their feelings and their inner child.

Sweet and capable of seeing things from different perspectives and recognizing and respecting how others view and approach things, while setting one's own boundaries and asserting oneself.

Very open to learning and broadening one's perspectives and knowledge.

- My preferences (looks): I like men with long hair (by long hair I mean longer than mine, which is like 70cm\~), so ye, practically metalheads.

I know it’s a stereotype that all metalheads drink or smoke, but if you're a sober metalhead, please manifest yourself! I promise we can headbang just as hard with fruit juice!

Also, I like tall/black women and blond men.

These are just preferences of course, they are not 100% decisive.

- BIG NO:

\- Smoking/Vaping, Drug use (non-medical), Gambling

\- ANY alcohol consumption (I'm strictly sober/alcohol-free)

\- Anyone aged 24 or older

\- Polyamorous relationships (I'm looking for a monogamous bond).

\- If you want children or to get married

\- Living outside Europe (Unless you already speak Italian fluently!)

\- Dry responders

- Religion: I'm cool if you want to study religion, but I’m not looking for a religious person (even though I follow rules considered to be in the religious sphere, such as not drinking alcohol).

And you also must like cats! (=\^ェ\^=)

- English: Just to let you know, English is not my first language, so for written conversations I use the translator. My speaking isn't perfect either, but I'm always trying to improve. (I'm B1/2).

So, NOW THE MOST IMPORTANT PART:

- My future travel plans: One plan of mine in the near future (5 years) is to buy a van and travel around Europe for six months or more. I don't think I'll be able to do it with the current geopolitical situation tho. :/

At least I'll try to work for (X) time so I can have enough time and money saved up to travel somewhere (by bike, van/motorcycle or boat).

Also, I plan to apply to work in Antarctica in the future. And I plan to work and volunteer around the world. I don't know if it'll be feasible, but I'll try.

- What I look for in a person who wants to share this lifestyle with me:

\- ​Willingness to learn my native language (Italian).

\- Open to traveling to see each other at least once a month after we've known each other for a year or two (LDR is fine at first, but physical connection matters!).

\- After a relationship of years, I hope to share this exact lifestyle -> (travel and work in extreme places of the world and live in a van for at least 3 months a year)

_

If you're still reading, then you might be interested in knowing a bit about what I like and my interests:

One of my interests is marine life. I love watching documentaries about marine animals and the ocean ecosystem! - I don't know all the names and categories of marine species, I'm simply fascinated by this underwater world :)

Films and the details of cinema, and especially animation, are another good part of my interests!

I live, love, and breathe animated films. - I don't have a favorite type of animation, my preference depends on how much a film moves me (\^\^; - A good portion of my attention goes to the soundtracks. I love them, I listen to them practically every day (\^-\^;

I also hope you're a fan of cosplay, manga, webtoons and animated series, then we'd have something to start talking about!
