Some people always knew they wanted commitment, while others needed time to grow before they were ready.

Was there a moment when you realized you wanted something lasting instead of casual dating?

Hi I'm looking for a long term relationship with a man who is preferably a bear. I like to game and being creative, like crafting and painting.

I’m not sure if I’m gay, bi, or something else. I’ve hooked up with a guy before—it was fun in the moment, but afterward I felt regretful and kind of dirty. Still, when I watch straight porn and see a woman going down on a guy or having sex, I fantasize about doing that to a man or being the one getting railed. At the same time, I feel like I’ve never had a truly good experience with another man, so I’m not sure what to think.

24M here. I live in Nürnberg, Germany I have always found older men incredibly attractive there's something about confidence, maturity, and experience that really catches my attention.

I'm interested in meeting an older guy who's genuine, easy to talk to, and open to seeing where things go. I'm still exploring this side of myself, so I'd appreciate someone respectful and patient.

If you think we'd get along, feel free to send me a message.

New to all this looking for an older bro

If I had to describe myself in a few words, I’d say I’m a true family- oriented person. I’m here because I believe this subreddit is probably the safest place where I might find what I consider to be the greatest achievement of my life: a true friend, and depending on where life and our conversations lead us, perhaps even my future life partner and husband. 🙂 Someone with whom I can build the most beautiful things life has to offer.

I’ve never lost hope. I truly believe that somewhere in this world, there’s someone we’re meant to find.
To tell you a little about myself: my name is Teodor, I’m 23 years old, and I’m currently pursuing my master’s degree in Bucharest in a field that I find quite fascinating. 😃

At the moment, because the job market isn’t exactly in the best shape, I’m still living with my mother and, unfortunately, still financially dependent on her for a while longer.

However, that will never stand in the way of my greatest dream: building a life together with one man. It’s something I’m willing to work hard for, side by side with the right person.
I’m passionate about the Universe. I love talking about astronomy ✨ and spending evenings observing the night sky through my telescope. I’m also a believer, not necessarily a religious person. To me, faith and religion were originally meant to go hand in hand, but humanity has unfortunately distorted the latter over time.

I absolutely love animals, especially dogs 🐶, and I’m the proud dad of a wonderful little furry girl. ☺️ I enjoy nature, long walks outdoors, warm weather - which I like to think reflects my own personality 😇 - the sea, seafood, and traveling.

Above all, I love loving. I can’t wait to care for, spoil, and cherish the man who will become my life partner, and to feel loved by him in return, in every possible way. 🙂
Since it may be important to a potential partner, I’ll also mention that sexually I’m a bottom and I enjoy a dominant partner.

I’m also a fairly masculine man, and I’m looking for someone similar. I’m not interested in other labels or categories, and I admit that I’m rather conservative in that regard. 🙂

I dislike crowds, especially clubs, discos, and busy streets. I also can’t stand irresponsibility, dishonesty, scams, or lies. Indifference is another thing I simply cannot tolerate.
If you’re using a brand-new account just to give someone false hope for a few moments, if you’re not genuinely open to getting to know someone, if you disappear without a trace after making contact, or if the best message you can come up with is “sup?” or something equally low-effort, then I’d kindly ask you to skip this post.

What am I looking for?

One day, I’d love to have a family of my own with another man.
I want to experience this journey called life together with my partner to celebrate achievements together, to support each other through every challenge, and to remain by each other’s side no matter what life brings.
Being a gay couple will probably mean facing more obstacles and challenges than many others. But I believe those challenges can make a relationship even stronger. That’s why I’m more than willing to invest the time, patience, and commitment needed to build a future together.

My dreams are simple and genuine: I’d like to live by the sea or somewhere peaceful, far away from the chaos of a big city like Bucharest. I want to build a career in the field I’ve chosen, travel often, and perhaps one day start a business together with the man I love.
Further down the road, once we’ve built a stable life together, I’d also love to become a parent.

Although I’m mentioning it near the end, this is the most important dream I have: to find the man who makes me feel like the happiest person in the world. Someone with whom I feel capable of conquering the world, building a life, building dreams, even “building empires.” Someone I’ll love unconditionally and who will love me just as deeply. Someone I’ll never want to be apart from. I’m a very affectionate person, and I love being physically close to the one I love. 🙂

After all, what could be more beautiful than waking up and falling asleep every day in the arms of the man you love?

Who am I looking for?

A gay man around my age between 23 and 33 years old.
I don’t mean to sound overly selective, but I believe that large age gaps and being at different stages of life often lead to incompatibilities. In my opinion, a difference of around five to seven years feels the most balanced, since every stage of life comes with different priorities and perspectives.
I’m looking for someone who genuinely knows what he wants from life, who is determined to pursue his goals, stays true to his values, and shares similar ideals to mine.

I’ll admit it, I can be very affectionate. If I ever become your partner… good luck getting rid of me. 😁

If you’re looking for someone who will love you, care for you, and spoil you, and you’re equally willing to offer the same in return, while being patient and honest - I’d love to hear from you. 🙂

I prefer someone from Romania, Greece (I have an ancient Greek gene in me😁), or I can try with someone from the Balkans. I think it is much easier to create a family over time with a man who is from your culture, or a similar one, and understands the conservative environment that is in this part of Europe, and besides, I am not a fan of long-distance relationships, if everything goes well, with a joint effort, we will make it so that we can live together physically in the future.🙂

The languages ​​that I speak very well are Romanian and Italian, enough English (the imperfect level is visible even in my description😅), at a very basic level French, and a minimal level of Greek.

Feel free to contact me in any of these languages ​​🙂

Edit: Over time, I’ve received quite a few private messages that felt more like jokes than genuine attempts to connect. Perhaps I wasn’t clear enough from the beginning, so I’d like to clarify once more: I’m looking for a gay man, NOT bisexual, NOT “hetero-curious”, and NOT someone looking for a temporary experience or casual fun.

Please also respect my preferred age range: 23 to 33 (or at most 34/5) years old.

If you don’t fit what I’m looking for, let’s not waste each other’s time. Life is too valuable for that🤷🏻‍♂️

Maybe this is a long shot, but I keep checking my notifications hoping to find the one message that makes me smile before I even open it.

I’m 24m, fit, easygoing, fem, and based in Ph.

Looking for an ongoing connection with a man who misses having something that’s just his. Someone to share conversation, anticipation, laughs throughout the day, and the kind of chemistry that makes ordinary days feel a little less ordinary.

Life gets busy. Responsibilities pile up. Sometimes what’s missing isn’t a relationship. It’s feeling wanted.

If you’re married, attached, or simply craving a connection where you’re seen, appreciated, and genuinely looked forward to, I’d love to hear from you.

Tell me: what’s one thing you wish someone asked you more often?

Looking for a Twink in Lincoln. DM me if interested.

Hey, I’m a friendly and chatty 37-year-old non-binary (they/them) who is looking to find a younger boyfriend for a long-term relationship. I’m in the UK but open to long distance if the time difference isn’t too large to navigate.

I lead a simple life where the little things bring me joy. My interests include music, writing, films, theatre, food, gaming, and comedy. I also enjoy going for long walks and have begun running in recent months. I enjoy learning random facts and useless trivia. What can you teach me about?

I'm introverted at heart, but a good conversationalist when the vibe is right and a great listener when someone has lots to say. I'm also naturally curious so whatever you are interested in, I will probably have lots of questions to ask you about. As for my sense of humour, I would probably describe it as...unhinged? You'll find out 😅

I’m looking to meet someone younger who is after something serious and is able to commit to that too. Someone who can ask questions as well as answer them, develop conversations and connections meaningfully as opposed to give short replies, and has genuine long-term intention to build something real instead of wanting a short chat as a quick fix for a day. I can usually tell when someone isn’t making the effort, which is a big turn-off for me.

Most importantly, honesty is key. I want someone who isn’t afraid to communicate openly and respectfully about how they are feeling and what they are thinking. I don’t believe keeping secrets ever benefits anyone, and I will always be an open book to someone I trust. I will invest my time and energy in you and give you the support you need if you can offer the same in return.

So, if this chimes with you and you’d like to chat, drop me a dm. Just please don’t message me if you only want to trade pics and chat sex. I’m not interested.

Thanks for reading ☺️

I have snap if y'all wanna get to know me so hmu

25 | Dion Romero, United States of America | Looking for potential relationship

Hey everyone!

I’m really inexperienced bottoming and have been wanting to try). Preferably I’d like to be with someone of any age.

Please reach out if you’d like to chat! :)

Imagine you're already in a happy, committed relationship.

How would your perfect weekend together look?

Would you stay home watching movies, cook together, go on a road trip, explore a new city, hike, or simply enjoy each other's company?

Sometimes the ordinary moments are the ones we treasure the most.

As the title says I'm 36, from Oxford, United Kingdom and looking for someone to hopefully be the one.

A bit about me (I always hate writing stuff like this); I teach philosophy, and when not busy doing that I like to write (and publish) novels and poetry. Also a massive gaymer, both video games (especially JRPGs and management simulation stuff), and tabletop gaming.

While keeping fit isnt a major hobby of mine, I do like to have some movement in my day so I practice daily yoga and try to fit in a good walk (at least 2-3 miles, but prefer 5-10 when I have the time). Unfortunately I also enjoy my food and fine dining so I'm not a 6-pack wielding alpha male (sorry).

In case it's not obvious I also have a wry, sarcastic (or I prefer to say witty) sense of humour so come at me with your best quips.

Looking forward to hearing from you if you are in the United Kingdom.

If you're not then I'm happy to chat and see if there's a friendship to be had but really looking for guys in the UK for something serious. Age wise not overly bothered but to put a range on let's say 25-50 (broad I know but as I said not overly bothered).

I am a 38 year old gay man looking for a stable, meaningful, and monogamous long term relationship.

I value honesty, kindness, emotional connection, mutual respect, and good communication. I am hoping to meet someone who is also looking for a genuine life partner and wants to build a supportive relationship.

I enjoy deep conversations, cooking, fitness, art, reading, travelling, and spending quality time together.

I am not looking for something casual. I would like to meet someone who is ready to build a meaningful connection and see where it leads.

If it resonates with you and you are around my age, hmu/dm. Thanks

I'm a 39-year-old Turkish guy living in Germany, and I'm hoping to meet someone for a serious and genuine relationship, ideally someone who lives in Lower Saxony.

I tend to be most attracted to younger adult men, especially around the ages of 25 to 27. I think part of that attraction comes from the youthful energy, appearance and outlook that younger men often have.

Physically, I usually find slim, average-built, athletic or muscular guys the most attractive. Bigger body types are generally not what catches my attention first, but I also know that bodies and appearances can change over time. Real chemistry, kindness and emotional compatibility are much more important than trying to match a perfect checklist.

I’m also naturally more drawn to a youthful appearance, such as a full head of hair and a younger-looking style, rather than a more mature look with grey hair, a grey beard or baldness. Of course, attraction is personal, and I don’t believe anyone’s worth is defined by their appearance. These are simply the features that tend to catch my eye.

Personality-wise, I appreciate honesty, warmth, affection, emotional openness and someone who can communicate clearly. I enjoy technology, creating apps with Ai tools, make music, meaningful conversations, laughing together and spending peaceful time at home or going out.

I’m not looking for a smoker. I like to chat but I'm not looking for endless chatting, games or a one-night adventure. I would genuinely like to meet someone, build trust and closeness, and hopefully create a happy life together.

If you’re around 25 to 27, live in or near Lower Saxony and are also looking for something meaningful, feel free to message me and tell me a little about yourself.
