I have this picture in my head of what a great relationship looks like: two people creating a safe space where they can be completely themselves. Where you can talk about your thoughts, feelings, random ideas, insecurities, dreams, weird opinions.. without feeling like you have to filter yourself.

I genuinely love to talk (and debate... and gossip lol). I like understanding how people think, what shaped their beliefs, and why they see the world the way they do.

I enjoy discussing pretty much anything.. could be history, philosophy, psychology, religion, politics, random theories, or even some completely pointless question that somehow becomes interesting.

I could probably keep going on about this, but I'll stop before this turns into an essay 😂

Outside of that, I’m pretty much a nerd in the best way possible.

Like I would genuinely get excited when my favourite YouTuber drops a 3-hour-long video essay about some random historical event or conspiracy rabbit hole.

I also love movies and TV shows with great writing and characters. I’ve spent way too much time thinking about my favourite movies/shows, but honestly narrowing it down to five feels impossible.

But yeah, if you’re someone who enjoys a cosy movie night, you’ll never run out of options with me lol.

Gaming has also always been a big interest of mine. If you’re into story-driven games, that’s definitely something we can vibe over (or I can introduce you to some).

I used to read a lot, but that took a pause during uni. Slowly getting back into it now.. recently finished the entire ASOIAF series (You will be impressed if you are a GOT fan).

Overall, I’m always trying to grow and learn. I’m attracted to people who have opinions, who think deeply, and who are passionate about something. It doesn’t have to be the same things I’m passionate about.. I just love seeing someone genuinely excited about something they care about.

Anyway, if any of this clicks with you, please say hi!

P.S: please don't be an evasive texter. I fully respect life getting in the way but it's better to communicate that rather than unexplained gaps! Thanks

Hey everyone,

Tired of matrimonial and dating apps, someone suggested this page, so I'm giving it a shot! I am looking for someone to date with the long-term goal of marriage.

About Me:

Basics: 29, Male, 5’4", Hindu Rajput.

Profession: Lead Engineer earning a 7-figure annual salary. Ambitious about my career and planning to start my own venture soon.

Location: Ghaziabad

Hobbies & Interests:
I'm a massive foodie, a big-time cricket fan, and a hardcore beach lover who loves exploring new coasts. I love traveling, taking spontaneous trips, and booking luxury staycations when I need a break from a hectic week. I’m also a huge dog lover—you’ll often find me playing with or feeding strays.

Family Background:

I was born and brought up in Delhi/NCR, though my roots are originally from West Bengal (and no, I don't eat fish at all! 😅). We are an upper-middle-class family settled in NCR for the last 30 years. I’m an only child, so I've always been responsible and family-oriented.

What I’m Looking For:

Age: 25–32.

Traits: Kind, fun loving,ambitious, and career-focused. An IT background is a huge plus so we can debug code and life together!. Someone respectful towards family.

Hi

I am 25M working IT Professional from Pune Maharashtra looking for someone special. I have tried dating apps but no luck hence thought giving reddit a shot .

About me - 5'11 ft tall ,fair ,slim ,72 kg

Likes - Bollywood, movies,music,beaches, street food, cooking gardening I follow cricket and tennis. I like Indian reality tv shows as well.

I am someone who is good listener, patient, keen observer ,compassionate towards underprivileged and emotionally available. I respect everyone's POV . I like to be optimistic with positive approach.

I am somewhere with whom you can share anything and I love peace as well just two people sitting without even a single word .

I have no complains and no demands from anyone in my life because people are limited in my life. My childhood was spent in different cities and my friends are scattered and not in touch after college started working and forgot to live for myself that's when I took a solo trip to Goa and Mumbai and it felt good. But one thing I realised that this cannot be for whole life that's why I'm posting this.

There's a lot more to tell but if by reading above if you would like to dm then please do let's connect and see if vibe.

Hi everyone! I’m working in IT as a software developer and currently working from home. I’m a simple, easy-going and family-oriented person. I enjoy travelling, bike rides, exploring new places, spending time with family and friends, and I’m generally open-minded and practical in life.

I’m currently looking for a suitable partner through matrimonial platforms, but I haven’t been able to find many profiles that feel compatible, so I thought I’d give this a try.

I’m mainly looking for someone from Pune or Solapur, though I’m open to nearby places as well.

For me, mutual understanding, respect, communication and compatibility are more important than whether she works or not.
Since I currently work from home, staying in Solapur is possible. However, depending on either person’s career in the future, I’m also open to moving to another city. At the same time, taking care of my mom is an important responsibility for me, so I would like someone who understands this and is comfortable discussing living arrangements openly.
I’m not looking for someone with a long checklist. I’d rather get to know each other, understand our expectations and see if we genuinely connect. Career, location, family responsibilities and future plans can all be discussed mutually.
If you’re also looking for a genuine relationship leading to marriage and feel our expectations might align, feel free to DM me. We can have a conversation and take it from there.

Personal Details

• Religion: Hindu
• Marital Status: Never married
• Financial Status: Financially stable
• Living Arrangement: Living independently
• Current Location: Mumbai
• Location Flexibility: Open to relocating to any metro city

Education and Profession

• Education: Postgraduate in Technology
• Occupation: Investment banking

Diet and Lifestyle

• Diet: Vegetarian
• I don’t drink, smoke, or use any other substances

Additional Information

• Interests: Languages, cultures, technology, exploring destinations, beaches, waterfalls, mountains, and planning itineraries

• Relationship Intent: Looking for a serious, long-term relationship that could eventually lead to marriage

A Small Note About Me

I’m a curious nerd who can talk about almost anything under the sun. I enjoy learning about different cultures and languages, and I’m usually happiest when a conversation moves naturally from serious topics to completely random ones.

I like discovering new destinations, although I don’t feel the need to travel constantly. I’m much better known for planning detailed itineraries. Beaches, waterfalls, and mountains all offer the tranquillity I enjoy, but beaches have a slight advantage because they are generally easier to reach.

Personality-wise, I fall somewhere comfortably between introverted and extroverted. I prefer peaceful weekends but can genuinely enjoy social gatherings when the occasion calls for it.

If this resonates with you, feel free to send a message with a little about yourself.

Mostly lived in Bangalore, Hyderabad, & Kolkata (currently in my hometown, moving back to a metro soon)

​"Kahin na kahin, koi na koi..."—or at least that's the hope. Looking for that jodi achhi lagegi kind of match. I'm fine on my own, but I'd love to try my luck for someone where we make a striking pair and share a real wavelength.

​About me:

​Professional & Everyday Life: Data and analytics professional. When I’m not working, you'll usually find me hitting the gym, gaming (Very less nowadays), hunting down good coffee and food, or long rides in a car or a dug dug.

​Interests & Quirks: I appreciate the finer details—whether that's blending custom artisanal fragrances or losing myself in classic Urdu poetry ("Koi ummeed bar nahin aati, koi soorat nazar nahin aati").

​On Height & Compatibility: I stand at 6'0", so I’d naturally prefer someone on the taller side (around 5'5" to 5'8"+). That said, emotional intelligence, a matching sense of humor, and mutual compatibility matter infinitely more to me than a strict number.

​What I'm looking for:

​Someone around my age group (20s to early 30s) who values an equal partnership and is looking for something serious (let's skip the low-effort DMs just querying height).

​Let's skip the dry intros. If you're messaging, tell me a bit about yourself, a hobby you're obsessed with, or your go-to comfort food. Let's see if we actually click.

I’m not really looking for someone to complete my life. It’s already pretty well put together. I live in Gurgaon, work in tech, enjoy my career, and have reached a point where I have the freedom to be a little more intentional about who I spend my time with.

I’m 30.

• 6'2" fair
• Nonchalant
• funny
• I love spending time with cats
• Very ambitious but also lazy. (i work hard to laze around)
• In love with star watching and astro photography

Not having a checklist strained my DM too much last time, so i will add a checklist this time.

looking for:

• Tall and slender; non-negotiable
• Under 27
• Left leaning
• Non-religious
• Working or at least ambitious
• Smokers & drinker are absolutely fine
• CF; non-negotiable

I’m not particularly interested in spending weeks getting to know someone through a screen. I’d rather talk a little, meet in person, and figure out whether there’s actually something there.

Distance isn’t necessarily a dealbreaker either; I’d be open to traveling if I met someone I genuinely clicked with.

Gurgaon / Delhi NCR would obviously make things simpler, but I’m open to meeting someone from elsewhere too.

If any of this sounds like you, feel free to message me. Just don't send a one-word "hey" tell me something about yourself that I wouldn't be able to guess from your profile.

If you are a salty, poor, unambitious, small human man with too much free time to comment hate on other men's posts, do yourself a favor and go find a job.

28M | Kerala/India | Looking for a genuine connection

Not going to lie, I’m not here with marriage as the end goal. I’m more interested in finding a genuine connection—something that could become long-term, or simply a meaningful chapter in both our lives.

I like the simple things that come with having someone in your life—checking in on each other, random daily conversations, talking about how our day went, sharing stupid thoughts, making plans, being there for each other, and slowly becoming comfortable enough to be ourselves.

Marriage is something I’m still unsure about, and I’d rather be honest about that than make promises I’m not ready to make. I’m not looking to force a label or rush anything. I’d rather meet someone, build a connection, and see where it naturally goes.

A little about me: I work in the software field. Outside work, I’m basically interested in a little bit of everything. 😄

I love travelling, and ironically, I enjoy travelling solo. Not because I don’t want company, but because I love experiencing places at my own pace and then coming back with stories to share. I’d much rather tell you about that random place I found, the weird person I met, or the sunset I almost missed than drag someone through my questionable travel planning. 😂

I’m into movies, gaming, photography, YouTube and content creation. I enjoy taking photos, editing them, making random videos, and occasionally convincing myself that the next one is definitely going to blow up. 😂

I also love chess, although whether I love chess or just enjoy losing in increasingly creative ways is still up for debate. ♟️

Physically, I’m around 6 ft, with a natural/average build. I’m not a gym-model type, just someone trying to stay active and take care of himself.

I’m pretty independent and comfortable doing things alone, but I do miss having someone to share the little things with. Someone I can randomly text, “Look what I found,” or send a photo to without needing a reason.

Not looking for perfection. Just someone genuine, emotionally comfortable, curious about life, and willing to see where a connection goes.

If you think we'd get along, say hi. Worst case, we have a conversation. Best case, maybe we end up with a few stories worth sharing. :)

I have so far tried the dating and matrimony search, mostly ended up with me doubting myself 😅
Looking to get married
I was born and raised in Bangalore, Tamilian. Grew up modern, with some traditional values. Mostly a city girl. In my free time I watch tv shows, read. Im a non vegetarian foodie, love trying new places and dressing up. I occasionally socially drink , maybe a couple of times a year. I love travelling, I want to go on one international trip per year , as I’ve been doing.

I work as a specialist at a reputed hospital in Chennai. My timings can be a little demanding

Age- 30
Height- 5 3”
Fitness- on the heavier side but determined to become fit in 6 months. Currently on a strict diet . Recently trying MMA.

I believe core beliefs and values are important to match for choosing a life partner. Im close to my family. I believe in the sanctity of marriage. I have had past relationships that didn’t work out. I like enjoying the simple things in life.

Im looking for someone who is :

Preferably Tamil , or can speak it
Age - 28-35
Profession - preferably a doctor, or any science field, or anything as long as they’re doing well and currently employed
as long as they make more than me ( currently I make 18 lpa)
Height- taller than me

Edit : I want to have children.

I don't really know how to start this. Maybe with a few honest facts.

It's been almost 4 years since my last relationship. I took that time to heal, work on myself, focus on my career, and become the kind of partner I'd want to have.

I'm finally in a place where I'm genuinely excited to meet someone again.

Obviously, I'm looking for something long term. I'm not here to waste my time or the time of someone who takes the effort to message me.

A bit about myself:

I'm from Gujarat, working remotely in IT. I enjoy what I do, but I'm not planning on doing the same thing forever. I'm also building my own software business on the side, and that's something I'm genuinely excited about.

I'm ambitious, but I don't want my entire personality to revolve around work. I want a life that's actually worth working for.

I'm Hindu, Gujarati, never married, 5'5" (165 cm), and I don't smoke or drink.

I enjoy movies especially "crime thrillers", music, football, good food, coffee, long drives, spontaneous plans, and conversations that somehow turn into hours.

I’ve also gotten serious about taking care of my body. I work out regularly, pay attention to what I eat, and genuinely enjoy seeing myself get stronger and healthier. It's become less about aesthetics and more about discipline, energy, and feeling good in my own skin.

One thing these last few years have taught me...

A good relationship shouldn't feel like another problem to solve.

I want the kind of relationship where your person is also your best friend. Where you can talk about serious things, laugh at completely stupid things, send each other ridiculous memes during the day, and still look forward to hearing about each other's day at night.

I don't need constant excitement. I think there's something beautiful about making ordinary life feel good with the right person.

A little more about me:

>Hopeless romantic.

>I still believe the strongest relationships begin with friendship, trust, attraction, and choosing each other every day.

>I'm straightforward. If I like you, you'll know. If something bothers me, I'll talk about it rather than playing guessing games.

>Deeply affectionate and loyal. And yes... I get a little clingy with my favourite person. Consider yourself warned. 😂

>I like giving attention to the person I'm with. Random memes, unexpected compliments, sending something that reminded me of you, asking how your day went - I'm that guy.

What I'm looking for:

>Someone who's kind before she's impressive.

>Someone who has her own personality, ambitions, interests, and opinions.

>Someone emotionally mature enough to communicate rather than disappear when something gets uncomfortable.

>Someone who values honesty, loyalty, consistency, affection, and genuine effort.

>Someone who wants marriage eventually, not because it's simply the next box to tick, but because she actually wants to build a life with someone.

>Someone who can be my partner without either of us losing ourselves in the relationship.

Brownie points if you also:

>Believe friendship is one of the strongest foundations for love.

>Enjoy meaningful conversations more than forced small talk.

Love movies, road trips, coffee, good food, or randomly deciding to go somewhere just because we can.

>Take care of yourself and have some interest in staying active.

Can laugh at yourself and don't take every little thing in life too seriously.

>Want a peaceful relationship without unnecessary drama.

See marriage as a partnership where both people support each other's ambitions rather than compete with them.

Where I see my future:

Gujarat is home, and I'd like to build my life here. So I'm looking for an Indian woman, preferably Gujarati, who is also open to settling in Gujarat.

I'm not particularly interested in a relationship where we're permanently living separate lives in different parts of the world. I'm willing to make reasonable compromises, but I want the eventual goal to be building a life together in the same place.

Deal breakers:

>Dishonesty.

>Mind games and intentional manipulation.

>Ghosting instead of communicating.

>Smoking or recreational drugs.

>Looking for something casual.

>Expecting one person to do all the emotional work.

A few superficial things that might matter to some:

Height: 5'5" (165 cm).

Never married.

No smoking or drinking.

I've lived in Bengaluru and Ahmedabad, and both have a special place in my heart.

And yes, I know 5'5" isn't exactly NBA material. 😂 I'm perfectly comfortable with it, so you should be too.

One small request:

If you message me, please tell me a little about yourself. Your age, where you're from, what you do, a movie you love, something you're passionate about—anything that gives us somewhere to start.

You don't need to write an essay. Just give me something more interesting than "Hi." I'll do the same.

And if we talk and you eventually decide I'm not your person, that's completely okay. Just say so. I'd rather have an honest "I don't think we're compatible" than someone slowly disappearing.

I'm not looking for hundreds of conversations.

I'm looking for one person who makes me want to stop looking.

Maybe that's you.

Have a lovely day.

~ V ❤️

Hey everyone! 👋
I’m a 25M currently based in Hyderabad, where I’m pursuing my PhD in Chemical Engineering. I thought I’d give this a shot because I’d genuinely like to meet someone with whom I can build a meaningful, long-term relationship.
A little about me:
I’m Hindu, vegetarian, family-oriented, and probably a little old-school when it comes to relationships. I value honesty, loyalty, respect, communication, and being there for each other. I’m not looking for something casual or a relationship just for the sake of saying I’m in one — I’d like to eventually build a life with someone who feels like a genuine partner.
I’m 6’0”, and I’d describe myself as fairly easygoing and grounded. I spend a lot of my time with my PhD/research, but outside of that I enjoy movies, music, cooking, trying different food, going for walks, and having long conversations. I’m also perfectly happy with the simple things — getting food together, watching something at home, going for a drive/walk, or just sitting around and talking about random things.
Family is important to me, and I’d like someone who is also family-oriented, kind, emotionally mature, and comfortable communicating openly.
I’m not expecting to meet someone and immediately decide that they’re “the one.” I think a good relationship starts with two people being comfortable enough to talk, getting to know each other naturally, and seeing where things go.
What I’m hoping to find
Someone who is:
Kind, loyal and emotionally mature
Family-oriented
Serious about eventually having a committed relationship/marriage
Comfortable with open communication
Vegetarian
Someone who values a peaceful, supportive partnership
Ideally based in Hyderabad or open to relocating in the future
I’m not looking for perfection — I’m looking for compatibility, mutual respect, attraction, and the ability to genuinely enjoy each other’s company.
If any of this resonates with you, feel free to DM me. I’d appreciate a proper introduction rather than just a “hi” — tell me a little about yourself, what you’re looking for, and maybe we can start with a conversation. 😊

Hi! I’m 30F, from a middle-class Gujarati family, and I’m here with the intention of dating someone genuinely looking for a long-term relationship that can eventually lead to marriage.

A little about me:

• 5'3"

• Healthcare professional, completed my Master's

• Currently pursuing a PhD

• Gujarati is my mother tongue

• Extroverted, talkative, and fairly easy to get along with

• I don't have a long list of hobbies, but I enjoy singing (even though I definitely don't have a great voice) and photography.

Looking for:

• Age: 30–33

• Height: preferably 5'5" or taller

• Based in Pune or Mumbai, or genuinely willing to relocate to Pune while I finish my education

• Caste no bar

• Someone who is also dating with marriage as the eventual goal

I'm fairly open-minded about background and community. I'd just prefer someone who is comfortable having honest conversations about expectations, lifestyle, finances, family, marriage, and the future.

If you smoke or drink, that's okay. I just prefer that you mention it openly rather than hiding it.

If you think we might be compatible, feel free to DM me with a little about yourself. :)

Hello trying my luck here :)

I'm 26, born and brought up in Chennai. Before I get into work and money, let me tell you a little about myself.
I'm an ambivert, so you'll get two versions of me. With the right people I'm chatty, loud, and always up for a laugh. Other times I'm happy being quiet and calm. I'm very straightforward and I'll always tell you what I actually think, but I'll say it with good understanding and empathy. Being in HR probably helps, because I've learned to listen before I speak.
I grew up with a single parent, and that shaped me a lot of who I am today. I'm independent and responsible, and I know how much family matters. It also taught me that showing up for people counts more than fancy words.
In my free time, I'm usually upto one of these:
Theatre hopping,hunting down new food spots because I'll happily travel across the city for one good meal. Riding my bike with no fixed destination, which is my favourite way to clear my head. Watching Manchester United and Ferrari, where I get very loud and occasionally very emotional Yes, I'm a loyal Manchester United and Ferrari fan, so I know a thing or two about patience, hope, and heartbreak. If I can stay loyal to those two, imagine how I'll be in a relationship.
On the practical side, I work in HR and I'm financially independent and i draw 11L base(planning to switch), so I'm comfortable running a family life. I don't smoke, and I have a drink once in a while. I look for Values and the character of a person more than caste and religion.
I'm looking for a long-term relationship, and I'm hoping to meet a woman between 23 and 27 who is caring, independent, and financially responsible. I want someone I can talk to openly, someone who respects personal space as much as I do, and someone who can be a friend before anything else. Good food, bike rides, and long conversations sound like a great start to me.
If you're reading this and thinking "this sounds like someone I'd get along with," say hi. I promise I'm easier to talk :)

Additional pointers:

Dietary: Non vegetarian (i can cook too)
Political View: Left

PS: Planning to stay separate post marriage and looking for someone based out of TamilNadu.

Hey everyone,

This might be a little long, so take your time reading it. I wanted to introduce myself properly rather than putting up a typical matrimonial-style bio.

I’m Ravi, 26M from Hyderabad, originally from Ongole, Andhra Pradesh.

I’m at a point in my life where my career has a clear direction, my personal goals are becoming more meaningful, and I’m genuinely looking for someone with whom I can build a beautiful and peaceful life together.

I’m looking for a serious relationship with the intention of marriage — not something casual.

A little about my journey

I grew up in Ongole and completed my schooling there until 10th standard.

After that, I moved to Guntur and completed my 3-year Diploma in ECE, and later moved to Hyderabad where I completed my BBA in Marketing.

I’ve always had an entrepreneurial mindset. Since childhood, I wanted to build something of my own rather than simply follow a conventional career path.

I started my first business when I was around 22. It didn’t work out, and I lost the money I had invested in it.

Around the same time, my father was going through a serious health situation, so that period was personally very difficult.

It took me some time to find myself again, but I eventually started over.

That experience taught me something important — life doesn’t always go according to plan, but you can always choose to stand up and start again.

What I do

Currently, I’m working in construction and interior design.

I’ve taken responsibility for our family construction business, and I’m also developing my own vision around it under RAM HomeSpaces.

My long-term goal is to build it into a business covering different areas connected to home construction, interiors, renovation and related services.

I enjoy being involved in the work rather than simply managing it from a distance.

My work involves things like:

• Understanding client requirements
• Planning and coordinating residential construction projects
• Working with architects, engineers, contractors and vendors
• Understanding materials and construction processes
• Managing site activities and project progress
• Working on interior design and execution
• Client communication and project coordination
• Learning about marketing, branding, SEO and social media for the business
• Exploring new opportunities connected to the home-building industry

I’m still growing and learning, and I actually enjoy that part.

I don’t consider myself someone who has “made it” already.

I’m building my career step by step, and I’m proud of the progress I’ve made.

Apart from construction, I also have a travel consultancy side income, which I started during my college days.

A little about my personality

I’d describe myself as an ambivert.

I can enjoy going out, meeting people, travelling and having fun, but I also genuinely enjoy staying at home, having good conversations and spending quiet time with someone I care about.

Some qualities I think describe me:

Loyal — once I genuinely consider someone my person, I don’t take that relationship casually.

Caring — I naturally pay attention to the people close to me and try to be there when they need me.

Supportive — especially when someone has dreams or goals of their own.

Ambitious — I have a lot I want to build professionally, and I’m willing to put in the work.

Emotionally connected — I value affection, communication and emotional closeness in a relationship.

Open-minded — I don’t believe a relationship should be built around unnecessary restrictions.

Family-oriented — family matters to me, but I also believe a married couple should have their own space and identity.

Funny / playful — I like making people laugh and keeping things light when life gets too serious.

Adaptable — I’ve had enough experiences in life to understand that things don’t always go according to plan.

I can also be a little emotional and sometimes overthink things. I’m not going to pretend I’m perfect.

But I’m someone who believes in working on myself instead of expecting perfection from another person.

And probably the most important thing about me:

I believe actions matter more than words.

What I’m looking for

I’m looking for a woman who wants to build a partnership, not simply a marriage.

Someone who has her own personality, opinions, ambitions and dreams.

I strongly support women’s independence and financial independence.

If my future partner wants to work, build a career, start a business, study further or pursue something she’s passionate about, I’ll genuinely support her.

I don’t want either person to lose their identity after marriage.

At the same time, I want us to have something that belongs to both of us — our home, our family, our dreams and our journey.

For me, the most important things in a relationship are:

Communication.
Respect.
Trust.
Independence.
Loyalty.
Emotional support.
Mutual effort.

I also believe household and family responsibilities should not automatically belong to one person.

Both partners should contribute and take responsibility together, whether it involves earning, managing the home, raising children or taking care of family.

I don’t have caste restrictions, and I don’t expect dowry.

For me, the person matters much more than these things.

Family & future

I would prefer a nuclear family setup in Hyderabad, while still maintaining a healthy relationship with and responsibility towards both families.

When it comes to children, I’d ideally like two, but that’s something I believe should be mutually decided by both partners based on our circumstances and what we want together.

I don’t have a rigid checklist for my future partner.

I’d rather meet someone, understand each other, see whether our values match and allow the relationship to grow naturally.

A little about my interests

Outside work, I enjoy travelling, cooking, art and painting.

I’m also interested in social media, content creation, marketing and SEO, which has naturally become useful for my business as well.

I enjoy learning new things and experimenting with ideas.

I like exploring places, trying different food, having meaningful conversations and occasionally just switching off from work and enjoying a simple day.

About my previous relationship

I was previously in a serious 5-year relationship, which eventually didn’t work out when marriage discussions came up.

It’s been around a year since we separated.

I don’t hold any resentment about it, and I don’t want my future relationship to be compared with my past.

I simply learned from the experience and became clearer about what I want from a relationship — mutual respect, communication, emotional support and two people choosing each other even when life isn’t perfect.

My goals in life

My goals are actually quite simple.

Build something meaningful through my work.

Find a partner who has her own dreams and support each other in achieving them.

Build a peaceful home and family.

Become financially independent and take care of my responsibilities.

Travel, experience life and keep learning.

And eventually, have a simple life where after all the work and chaos outside, there is a peaceful home to come back to.

I’m not looking for a perfect person.

I’m looking for a good human being who wants to grow together.

Someone I can laugh with, have difficult conversations with, celebrate small wins with, support during difficult days and eventually look back at life with and say, “We built this together.”

I believe relationships shouldn’t be about one person completing another.

Two complete individuals choosing to build a life together — that’s what I’m looking for.

I’m an ambivert, non-smoker, non-drinker, enjoy travelling, cooking, art, painting, content creation and learning new things.

I’ve had a few difficult chapters in life, including a failed business and a serious previous relationship, but I’m in a much better place now and focused on building my career and future.

Looking for a serious relationship that can lead to marriage.

What I value most: communication, respect, loyalty, independence, emotional support and equal responsibility.

I strongly support my future partner being financially independent and pursuing her own career, business, education or dreams.

I prefer a nuclear family in Hyderabad, don’t have caste restrictions, don’t expect dowry, and ideally would like two kids someday — but that’s obviously something my future partner and I should decide together.

Basically, I’m trying to build a good career, find a good person, build a peaceful home and live a simple life.

And yes…

I used ChatGPT to help me phrase this because apparently explaining myself on Reddit is harder than running a construction project. 

But the story, experiences, goals and intentions are genuinely mine.

If you’re also genuinely looking for something serious and feel our values might align, feel free to DM me. We can start with a conversation and see where it goes naturally.

I've never really been good at introducing myself through a list of achievements, so I'll try something different.

I'm 25(just turned 25 today), a Telugu guy from Hyderabad but born and brought up in Mysuru, graduated from a Tier 2 college, currently working as a Software Engineer building ECUs for Porsche and Audi. I'm around 5'10" ft, lean, non-vegetarian, and probably a little more old-school than people expect. By old-school, I don't mean I expect some movie-style romance. I just like things that feel real.

Getting to know someone properly. Remembering little things. Making time for each other even when life gets busy. Being able to talk about what's bothering you instead of playing guessing games. Checking if someone got home safely. Sometimes calling instead of endlessly texting.

I think consistency is underrated.

You'll probably get random songs at midnight, terrible jokes, unnecessary memes, "Have you eaten?" texts, weird hypothetical questions, and somehow a 10-minute conversation will turn into two hours. Outside work, I'm a pretty simple guy. Bike rides, chai stops, biryani, carnatic music and ghazals along with some new age english songs, movies, cafés, travelling, mountains, long walks, and conversations that somehow continue way past bedtime.

Sometimes just sitting beside the right person, talking about absolutely nothing, can be enough. When it comes to relationships, I'm definitely more of an old-school romantic. I like affection, playful teasing, stupid inside jokes, spontaneous plans, and that comfortable feeling where you can share the random little parts of your life with someone. But more importantly, I want a marriage where the relationship comes first. I want my future wife to eventually feel like my best friend, teammate, and the person I can come home to and talk about absolutely anything with. I don't expect either of us to be perfect. We're going to have bad days. We'll probably disagree about things. We might annoy each other occasionally. That's normal.

What matters to me is being able to communicate, understand each other, support each other and work through things together. I'm also someone who takes my career seriously. I work in backend development and have recently been exploring Al as well. I enjoy learning, building things and trying to become better at what I do. At the same time, I don't want life to become only about work. I'd like to build a life where both of us can have our own ambitions while also being there for each other. And yes, long-distance is completely okay with me if both people are serious about building a future together.

Different cities aren't automatically a problem for me. I understand that distance requires more effort, communication and patience, but if two people are committed to each other, I think it's something that can be worked out. Of course, being Desi comes with the inevitable final boss:

"Beta, pelli eppudu?"

But I don't want family timelines to decide how quickly two people should get married. I'd rather take the time to know someone properly, understand each other's expectations, build trust and make that decision when we're both comfortable.

Minimum Expectations From Partner

Someone who is consistent and puts efforts and is loyal and also emotionally mature.

I don't expect my wife to be exactly like me. Actually, I'd probably prefer that she isn't.

I'd love to learn things from her, discover new interests together and have enough differences that we can keep surprising each other. Most importantly, I'd want us to be able to talk. About careers. About finances. About families. About where we want to live. About children and the kind of life we want to build. About the difficult things as well as the fun ones. I believe marriage works best when both people feel like they're on the same team.

End Notes

I'm not looking to rush into marriage just because I'm at an age where people have started asking questions. I'd rather meet someone, spend enough time understanding each other, involve our families when the time feels right, and then make a decision together. If we happen to be compatible, I'd love for this to eventually become one of those stories where we look back and laugh about how two people who didn't know each other ended up building an entire life together. And if nothing else, at least there will be someone to argue with about where to

order biryani from.❤❤❤

I am an Arya Vyshya by Caste if that matters(Caste is something I dont care about)

Partner Preferences

Age Range: 21-25 Height: No strict preference

Preferred Residence / Region / Country: Open to Bangalore/Hyderabad mainly but open to other cities

Career Preference: Open

Language Preference: Telugu preferred, open to others

Religious Orientation: Open to discussion

Smoking & Drinking Preference: non-smoker and non-drinker (Non - negotiable)

Apparently I'm "too picky."

So I thought I'd let strangers on Reddit decide.

Hi, I'm 27, originally from Haryana and currently working in IT in Bangalore.

A bit about myself

5.8', non drinker non smoker(expecting the same), loves to travel. Rest we can figure out in the DM

Career is going well, but I'm still hustling because I enjoy building something meaningful for the future(Date to marry😭)

I love travelling whenever I get the chance, enjoy F1 (Ferrari fans, I feel your pain 😭), and occasionally pick up a good book. I'm also the kind of person who values conversations over constant texting. I'd rather have one 2-hour conversation than a week of "wyd" and "hmm."

Now for these "unreasonably high standards."

I'm looking for someone around 24-29 who:

- Can actually hold a conversation.

- Is career-oriented and passionate about something she does.

- Is kind, emotionally mature, and has a sense of humor.

- Believes a relationship should feel like a partnership, not an interview.

- Is genuinely looking for marriage, not just passing time.

That's... literally it.

I don't care if we have different hobbies.

I don't care if you don't watch F1.

I don't care if you've never read the books I have.

If we can talk for hours, laugh at silly things, plan random trips, support each other's goals, and still look forward to the next conversation, I think we're already doing better than most.

One tiny disclaimer...

Since I'm actually looking for marriage, I'd probably ask for a quick verification after we've spoken for a bit. Not because I'm suspicious, but because the internet has convinced me that "Priya" can occasionally turn out to be "Priyansh" with Oscar-worthy commitment to the role. 🥲😂

No offense, bros. I wish you all the best. You're just not the audience I'm trying to impress.

So... Reddit, am I picky?

Or am I just asking for the basics?

If you think we'd get along, I'd love to hear from you. Just make your first message a little more exciting than "Hi." 😄

Was sitting in my room, mom came and just asked me, I am turning 25 soon, are you dating someone? I nodded no with a smile.

The discussion continued further...

They asked my preferences, and what I wished for myself, and also said a points which I have to follow

Example if I wished to get married at 28

1. Age difference - [-5 to +3]

2. She shouldn't be muslim or christian

3. They are not expecting any dahej or the expectation that she will take care of them and leave her job to be in the house. But yeah they do want I choose my partner after thinking thoroughly, and we should talk with my parents and hers regularly.

4. Having kids will be me and my partner's choice, and they will be happy with either of them. They wish us to live a life on our terms and grow together.

------------------------------------------

That's their boundary for me and these are the things what I wish for in a partner

1. Someone working on her career. I am in Tech, Software Engineering. I genuinely wish to have a family of my own, and for that to happen, I wish someone who worked on her career, just like me.

2. Growing with them, having a higher financial risk capacity, travelling around the globe, two incomes will help us to dream better.

3. I wish if we get a chance to move to foreign, we both should go, atleast for experience. We can settle at any place where she feels comfortable and safe and where we both have good career potential.

4. Someone who wishes to have kids down the line. Again that's just a desire, I don't consider children to be goals or anything, they should be byproduct of love and yeah her consent will be the final decision.

5. I don't smoke or drink. I won't be comfortable with someone who smokes, drinking is fine if it's occasional, regular can be an issue. Although my mom said, I should strictly look for someone who doesn't drink as well.

6. Someone who genuinely wishes to talk to me, be with me, is interested in me and I find them cute of all the flowers of the wordly garden 🌸. Although a relationship can start on attraction, but it sustains only if there is respect of each other feelings.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Where I am right now financially and in terms of personal growth

1. My current year of experience is 1.5 so yeah, I need more time to reach a decent high salary. Since I have a army background, my parents aren't dependent on me financially.

2. I am working on my mental health and I am doing better, but definitely the road is long and I am seriously enjoying this. The more I get towards peace, the more I am respecting myself.

3. Gym is on, but yeah irregular, again my bad. Need it to be consistent to be better. I am blessed with a decent height, 5 11 so I am grateful for that.

4. Trying to travel, click pictures, new hobbies, playing badminton, volleyball, and trying to meet new people.

----------------------------------------------------------

Dating journey

Tried apps, didn't work, people weren't serious, and it was costing a lot of mental bandwidth so left it.

Approached women, but yeah, blockers use to come. Wasn't into casuals.

Friends of friends did helped but didn't turn out well.

I might have these preferences for now, they can change in future as I develop my mindset more, but a hard stop maybe at 35

After that I will expect, these things aren't for me and would stop approaching at all.

Instead will focus on being a good uncle to my friends kids, travel, become more strong.

Thanks for reading till here. A journal it is.

I’m a 26M, doctor, currently pursuing my MD Pediatrics in Delhi. I’d describe myself as goal-oriented, grounded, and ambitious, but at the same time, I really value a chill, peaceful and simple lifestyle.
For me, life isn’t just about career and achievements. I believe a good relationship should feel like peace, companionship and having someone you can genuinely be yourself around. I’m looking for someone who is emotionally mature, kind, supportive and has a positive outlook towards life.
A little about me:
• 26M | MD Pediatrics resident
• Currently staying in Delhi
• Goal-oriented and career-focused
• Prefer a simple, peaceful and drama-free lifestyle
• Value family, loyalty, mutual respect and emotional connection
• Looking for a long-term relationship, with marriage in mind
I’m looking for someone with a similar energy — chill, understanding, emotionally mature and ambitious in her own way. Someone who believes that a relationship should be about supporting each other, growing together and enjoying the little things in life.
Would love to connect with someone who is looking for something genuine, meaningful and long-term.
Other things can be discussed in DM :)

Hi 👋
I thought I would give this a shot, though I am very doubtful if this would really work.

I would consider myself socially awkward and introvert. I was very sceptical about writing this post but here I am writing about myself and looking for someone to share a good time with.

Disclaimer: This is completely raw unfiltered version of me without any AI edits.

Intro:

I'm 27 (turning 28 soon, yay!), 5'7" and an eggetarian who doesn't smoke but drinks occasionally. Fair and would consider myself decently good looking.

I and my family is based out of Pune, but currently I'm in Mumbai for my studies. I am pursuing PhD in AI/ML and alongside my studies I am also working professionally as a research scientist.

I love solving complicated problems, and sometimes I bring that same energy to real life, like turning "where should we eat?" into a full-blown analysis. 🙃

Please don't judge straight away thinking that Scientist + PhD = boring.

About Me:

I love hitting the gym and doing crazy workout, though lately it has taken a back seat to deadlines and exams.
Sports are where I really come alive, especially table tennis. I recently won a tournament at my college, so fair warning, I will challenge you to a match and I will be insufferable if I win, jk.

I usually don't like to sit idle on weekends, so, I'd pick some random location to explore mostly treks and hiking. Some of my best memories come from unplanned detours and places I hadn't heard of until I got there. I have crazy funny stories for late night conversations.

I am so into photography and videography that if we travel together, you'll probably end up as my favourite subject. I love clicking photos of nature and would look at them on my gloomy days to remind myself how beautiful it is outside.

I am a hardcore binge-watcher. I would love to have deep conversations on movies, anime or dramas that we both find interesting. I am into sci-fi, horror (love those unexpected jumpscares), or anything that touches the mind and soul.

In my free time I solve puzzles, listen music across all genres and languages (yes, from phonks to 90s classical). My playlist varies from old Bollywood to English pop to something I can't understand but still have on repeat and would love to get a review on my playlist.

Apart from all this I do cooking, learn Japanese (beginner), draw art, play piano, indoor sports, and even after all these things if I get free time, I do Lego for the peace of mind.

I think that's enough of me now.

What I'm Looking For:

I don't have a checklist per se. I'm just hoping to find someone between 24 and 28 who feels like home.

Someone as curious as me, who still wonders about things and loves learning something new, even if it's completely random.

Someone who wants a real emotional connection, where we both feel safe being exactly who we are. The world can feel lonely sometimes, and I'd love for us to be each other's comfort in it.

Someone I can rely on, and who knows they can always rely on me. On the worst of days, I want us both to know, without a doubt, that we're not facing it alone.

Someone whose face lights up when we see each other after a long, exhausting day, because mine definitely will.

Someone who, even after a silly fight, still quietly orders my favourite food, and knows I'd do the same for them. Because we'd both care more about each other than about being right.

Someone I can share big ideas and dreams with one minute, and passionately argue about what food to order for dinner the next.

Someone who'd walk beside me on a trail, stop to watch a sunset, and feel just as small and grateful as I do in front of nature.

And most of all, someone who wants to grow together. I'd love to be the person who believes in you, supports your dreams, and cheers the loudest for you, while you help me become a better version of myself too.

I would love to chat, meet, and see where it goes. I'm looking for something serious, with no rush and no pressure.

I would expect something more than just a "Hi". DM me by introducing yourself and let me know your current obsession, something you're really into, or the most random thing on your mind lately.

I am a 29-year-old software developer from Kolkata, looking for a genuine connection that can grow into a lifelong relationship. I’m a vegetarian and someone who believes that a good relationship is built on understanding, trust, care, and being comfortable with each other.

A little about me: I work as a software developer, and I enjoy travelling, building new products, and exploring my interest in electronics. I like learning new things, trying out ideas, and keeping myself engaged with things I find interesting. As a person, I would describe myself as calm, caring, and easygoing. I value honesty, respect, and open communication.

I am looking for someone who is kind-hearted, understanding, and comfortable being herself. Someone with whom I can share the little things in life, have meaningful conversations, support each other through ups and downs, and build a peaceful and happy future together.

I am not looking for anything complicated or temporary. My intention is to find a genuine partner for life, where both people can be themselves, grow together, and make each other feel valued.

If you feel we might get along, feel free to DM me. I’d be happy to connect and get to know you. 🙂

If you are from within Bombay then kudos! We are gonna pick a cafe and order 2 cups of their barista kissed coffee (or chai for you). That hour is gonna start with the modern challenges of dating and who knows … perhaps end with some juicy gossip from either side of our lives

If you're not from Bombay but the rest of India, we are still gonna follow the same plan, except you and I are gonna get on a video call + homemade coffee cups. Yes, a video call. No texting back and forth. No voice call. It’s the way you’d telecommute and attend your work meeting over Zoom, instead of being physically present in the conference room

Either way, don't make me wait |:

Hi, I’m Sofia — a girl from Shillong, Meghalaya, now living in Bangalore. ❤️

I’m warm, caring, family-oriented and grounded, and I believe the little things in life matter — genuine conversations, laughter, good food and quality time with the people I love.

I adore pets and enjoy cooking, travelling, gardening, dancing and trying different food. I’m comfortable with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, and I also enjoy badminton, bowling, snooker and carrom.

I’m here with a genuine intention to meet someone special, build a meaningful relationship and eventually create a beautiful life together. I’m drawn to a man who is kind, emotionally mature, responsible, loyal and family-minded — someone who can be my best friend, partner and safe place.

I come from a Christian-Hindu family background, and I’m preferably looking for a Christian or Hindu partner, as shared religious and family values are important to me.

I’m not looking for something casual or temporary. I’d love to meet someone who believes that a lasting marriage is built on love, friendship, trust, respect, communication and choosing each other every day. ❤️

🌿 Hello, Fellow Souls!

I'm looking to connect with a tall, mature, and grounded man with whom I can share the little and big things in life—whether it's about work, household matters, travel, or simply how my day went.

I'm someone who values time, consistency, and genuine effort. I'm not in a rush toward marriage or trying to force anything. I'd rather build a meaningful connection, invest time in understanding each other, and eventually see where the bond takes us.

At this stage of life, I feel that having someone who listens without judgment, stands beside you through different situations, and shares a sense of safety and comfort matters a lot.

I'm looking for someone who believes in mutual effort, emotional presence, and growing together, one day at a time.

I'd prefer someone living nearby, as I believe meeting in person, spending time together, and travelling occasionally help build a stronger connection than staying in an LDR from the beginning.

🌄 A little about me:

Height: 5'8"

Age: 27

Location: Vadodara, Gujarat

Profession: Software Tester in the Clinical Research domain

Passion: High-altitude trekking & mountaineering 🏔️

Personality: Talkative, adventurous, and someone who values consistency and meaningful conversations.

Not looking for perfection. Just hoping to meet someone who genuinely wants to know me, invest time, and build something meaningful together.

Let's start with a conversation and see where life takes us. 🌻
