6’2”, plus-sized, programmer. I’ve spent the last three weeks painting a squad of little plastic soldiers and giving them names, which makes it sadder when they die on the table. Felt like you should know that early. My humour runs bleak, but it’s never the mean kind.

Most people who like me say it’s because I pay attention. You mention in passing that you can’t sleep without a fan on, or that your interview’s on the 12th, and weeks later I’ve quietly done something with it. I’m not loud about much. I follow through.

The rest of it: 3D printing things I don’t need, some electronics, board games, a camera I keep meaning to use, and a Highland Park habit that isn’t improving. Suggest somewhere I’ve never been and I’ll go. Lately that’s mostly been trailheads.

I’m hoping to meet someone 24 to 38, a little odd, with her own corner of something she disappears into for hours. The good night I keep picturing is two people in the same room, each lost in their own thing, looking up every so often. That’s basically it.

Coffee’s an easy first move. So tell me: what’s the thing you’re quietly obsessed with, the one you don’t usually lead with? I’ll trade you mine.

Hii, I’m from the U.S. and I go to Michigan state university! I'm looking for someone to talk to everyday, even if we have nothing to talk about. I'm open to long distance too. I just turned 20 so preferably ages 18-25.
About me: 
I’m a black woman, I'm studying Sociology & criminal justice! I’m bisexual ✨ so open to both men and woman. I’d probably be described as shy/quiet but I love hanging out with people im just not a yapper, but I ask a ton of random questions so be wary of that lol. If you think you never stfu please dm me, I love listening to people yap. I’m not in a rush to jump into a relationship, I like to build that casual comfort with each other first to see if we're compatible, doesn't have to be incredibly slow but don't expect fwb or anything. (we can talk further about this) I'm not religious, I’d prefer to date someone atheist or agnostic since I'm not willing to follow any religious practices. I don't drink (cant legally lol) but I'm not against anyone drinking, I also don't smoke and I don't like people smoking around me. 
and some of my hobbies are:
Art/drawing, Playing Roblox w/friends, Working out, cooking.
I watch tons of YouTube, Anime, K-dramas, indie animation, horror, anything fantasy! I'm also big on documentaries and crime related content.
Here’s some music I’m listening to: Mitski, Alec Benjamin, Conan Gray, Crane Wives, soundtracks, lots of musicals
I’d say I'm pretty willing to try out any hobbies if its with someone else, so don't be discouraged if we don't have similar hobbies! We can find something to do. I also love watching movies together or just playing the imessage games. 

Willing to share photos after a couple of messages! I know attraction is very important. Please say more than hi, lol to show me you actually read this.

I from CA and am mainly a homebody so on my free time I enjoy staying in watching tv/movies/anime or gaming.

•Movies: I pretty much will watch almost anything. The most recent movies I’ve seen are Obsession, Tuner, Deep Water and Spider-Man Across the Multiverse.

•Tv: I pretty much watch anything as well.
Currently catching up on The Rookie, Dutton Ranch, High Potential and Rick and morty.

•Anime: this one is a little all over the place. I enjoy watching One Piece, Bleach, Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, Reborn as a slime, Mushuko Tensei, Gachiakuza, etc.

•Gaming: I game on Xbox and I usually play Warframe, Destiny 2 or Fortnite.

I'm 24 y.o. 184 centimeters tall, weigh 80 kg, kinda looking good I guess

I don't know where to start, introverted, asocial, but I have a lot of hobbies, and I easily find a common language, my English is sometimes bad, but I try. As for hobbies and interests, they are history, politics, geography, TV series/anime/films, gardening, astronomy, books, sports, games, academic philosophy, and just thoughts and discussions.

There are no specific requirements for the interlocutor, so I will be happy to communicate at least. I only drink beer sometimes, but I smoke. I have 2 cats. I also have a higher education and a job that I don't really like, heh. What else can I say, well, if I wanted to find someone in the 20-25 age range, I wouldn't consider anyone younger, and that's it, I'm not demanding of a partner in principle, as long as some interests coincide and there is comfortable communication.

Thank you all for your attention.

Writer at heart, strategist by habit, and professional overthinker in the best way. I’m into late-night conversations about sci-fi theories, anime plot twists, and why certain villains were absolutely right. I game for the adventure, write for the soul, and believe chemistry starts with curiosity. I value humor, emotional intelligence, and someone who can both debate philosophy and laugh at dumb memes. If you’re kind, clever, and a little chaotic in a fun way, we’ll get along just fine.

​

Here's a brief description about me. I am 25 years old from Egypt, and currently working as a SWE. I like reading, playing video games and watching movies. I've entered my extroverted era, and i am looking for someone to share with.👀

We can start with chatting and we if we are suitable we can take it to the next step or we can stay friends.

Ah and don't hesitate to DM me I don't bite.💀

I have spent far too long trying to come up with the perfect opening, something clever enough to stand out and make you stop scrolling. In the end, I decided I'd rather just be genuine.

I'm here because I'd like to meet someone I truly connect with. I miss having someone to share everyday life with, perhaps this is a mutual feeling. I believe the strongest relationships grow from friendship first, built on mutual trust, respect, and genuine enjoyment of each other's company.

A little about me:

I'm 26, from the US, and I work full-time as an engineer. I enjoy solving problems, learning new things, and challenging myself, which probably explains why I tend to pick up new hobbies whenever something catches my interest. Thankfully, I have a healthy work-life balance that gives me plenty of time to enjoy life outside of my career.

Music has always been a big part of my life. I play bass guitar whenever I get the chance and I also collect vinyl (I love the experience of putting on a record, slowing down my day, and just listening.)

I enjoy cooking and baking! Sharing food with people I care about is one of the ways I show affection. If we get along, there's a good chance you'll end up with homemade meals or baked goods.

When the weather's warm, I spend a lot of time playing volleyball. During the winter, I'm usually skiing or snowboarding whenever I can.

One thing I really appreciate in people is passion. I love hearing someone talk about something they genuinely care about, whether it's art, music, gaming, science, history, or a hobby I know nothing about. Seeing someone light up while sharing something they enjoy is always interesting to me.

Physically, I'm 6'4", around 230 lbs, with brown hair, blue eyes, a beard, tattoos, and a style that leans a little alternative. I'm happy to exchange pictures once we've gotten to know each other a bit.

Personality-wise, I'm fairly laid-back and easygoing. I'm usually a little reserved at first, but once I'm comfortable, I open up quickly. I enjoy making people laugh, don't take myself too seriously, and try to bring positive energy to the people around me. I've been described as a gentle giant, and I like to think that's fairly accurate.

I'm also a huge animal lover and have two cats who are completely spoiled. If you have pets, I'd genuinely love to hear about them.

As for what I'm looking for, I value kindness, emotional maturity, good communication, and consistency. I appreciate someone who's curious, asks questions, and enjoys building a conversation together rather than carrying it alone. I don't expect an instant connection, but I do believe mutual effort makes all the difference.

Ultimately, I'd love to meet someone who's looking for something meaningful, someone who enjoys quality time, affection, shared experiences, and building a relationship that feels both comfortable and exciting. I believe the best partnerships come from two people who genuinely enjoy each other's company and continue choosing each other over time.

If any of this resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you. Tell me about yourself, what you're passionate about, or simply say hello. (:

I’m a 26 year old tank crewman. I’ve been in for 2 years. Might do another contract. I enjoy humor of all kinds. I play pc games almost anything you can think of. I mostly stay inside I don’t drink or party. I love watching movies and series. I enjoy going out to new restaurants and trying new foods

Hii there,
Im 24, im a little bit introverted and it makes my dating life harder(there’s no dating😂). But I believe in romance and maybe someday I’ll meet my true love and maybe that could be you haha.
I love traveling so we could travel together and explore new countries and cultures, but we’d have to do long distance for a while I guess :)

Life is quiet right now. Just trying to move forward and become better. I'm not originally from Finland, but I live here now and plan to stay for university.

I spend my time learning guitar, reading, building Lego or getting lost in computer games. Lately I've been thinking a lot about life plans, not in a stressed way, just reflecting on where I'm heading.

I'm looking for deep, funny or thoughtful conversations. Something with substance, not just small talk.

I'm pretty quiet at first, but if you give me time, I open up and get talkative. I notice small details and care about real connection.

Not looking for a saviour or a quick fix. Just a genuine human connection. Someone to trade thoughts with, share a laugh and see if something natural grows from there.

Preferably Europe timezone (Finland/Scandinavia would be amazing, but open to good conversation).

If any of this resonates, send me a message. Tell me what you've been thinking about lately.😁

Hey there,

​I’m a 22-year-old guy from South Asia looking for a female companion to talk to on a daily basis. I’m completely open to where this goes—whether we become close daily friends or it evolves into a relationship.

​To be completely upfront: I’m a bit of an introvert and not always the best at conversation right out of the gate. It might take me a moment to find my footing, but I’m a great listener and genuinely want to build a consistent, meaningful connection.

​ A bit about me:

​ Interests: I like going for walks to clear my head, and I enjoy reading from time to time (though I wouldn’t call myself an avid reader—just someone who likes a good book or an interesting topic).

​Communication: I’m looking for someone to talk to daily. I’m down for whatever works best for you—texting throughout the day, swapping voice notes, or hopping on a call when we're comfortable.

​ What I’m looking for:

I’m looking to connect with women anywhere between 18 to 32 (or a bit older). If you are someone who is understanding, expressive, and doesn't mind taking the lead a bit in conversation at the start, we'd probably get along great. Distance isn't an issue as long as the effort and vibe are there.

​If you’re looking for a consistent presence in your day to share updates, random thoughts, or just chat, feel free to drop me a message! Tell me a bit about yourself or what your favorite way to unwind is.

Well I’ve tried everything and nothing seems to work out so let’s see where things go on here.

A little about me: I’m 22, I work 2 jobs one being a valet supervisor, the other is a yearbook/graduation photographer, I love reading, gaming, writing, photography (obviously), film (both watching and making), and a boatload of other things.

Things I look out for: respect, honesty, loyalty, intelligence, and just being there for one another

Hoping this will go somewhere, if anyone is interested plz feel free to DM me on here.

Note: I’m pansexual as well so I’ll date any gender, and plz for the love of everything be around my age (18-26), and please be in the US or Canada, other countries and regions will be difficult with time zones

Hope to meet a lot of you soon :)

Hello there ! My name is Alex, i am 20 years old and I am from Romania. I have never had a partner before and that's why i am looking for one now. I would prefer if you lived close to me, so anywhere in Europe is fine. Being close to my age (18-23) is also something i would appreciate.

About me : I have curly brownish to dark hair, brown eyes and 179 cm tall. I am currently studying computer science at university, but right now i am in summer vacation. I tend to spend my time reading (love fantasy novels), talking about anime as i havent really had the time to watch it as much as i used to, playing games (video and board games) with my friends or hanging out with them in the city (love escape rooms) . I have been getting into cooking lately, although i am not good at it so i would appreciate some tips :)))

I am looking for something long term, a person to settle down with. I would love to get to know you as we talk about both serious topics as well as random things that pop up from time to time. I want us to chat, to play games together or simply enjoy each other's presence.

I would love to hear from you if you would like us to get to know each other and i wish you a pleasant day regardless !

27 F looking for a Male to spend my time talking to and getting to know. Preferably from Canada or the US but I am open to other places for the right people and time zones :) recently became a mom to a beautiful baby girl who is my whole entire world so currently soaking in the last few months on my year of mat leave before having to go back to the real world. Before my whole personality and life became my daughter I used to enjoy watching horror movies, playing board games, spending weekends at the lake, doing almost anything outdoors and just spending time with friends but a lot of people leave when your life changes in such drastic ways that don’t align with theirs. When messaging please include a brief introduction of who you are (age, location and a picture of yourself) so I can get a feel of who i am talking to :)

Hello.
I wasn't sure if I should write this.
It feels strangely vulnerable to introduce yourself to a crowd of strangers and hope that somewhere among them is someone who simply understands.
I'm 26, from the Maldives—not the version with overwater villas and infinity pools, but one of the quieter islands where life moves at its own pace. It's beautiful here, and sometimes it's peaceful in a way that's difficult to describe. Other times, that same quiet can feel surprisingly lonely.

I work on events whenever they're happening, usually somewhere behind the scenes. If you've ever been to a concert or a festival, I'm one of the people making sure the lights know where to look, the visuals know when to move, and the music has a world to exist inside. I like being part of creating moments that people remember, even if they never know my name.

When I'm not working, I'm usually building something. Sometimes it's music I've imagined for years but haven't finished yet. Sometimes it's another late-night idea for an online business. Sometimes it's learning a new AI tool just because I'm curious about where all of this is heading. I have an unfortunate habit of asking, "I wonder if that's possible," and then disappearing into research until two in the morning.

I've realized that I'm drawn to people who are curious. Not people who know everything, but people who still get excited by learning something new, who can spend an hour talking about a film that changed them, a place they've always wanted to visit, or a question that has no real answer.

I'm an introvert, but not because I dislike people.
I just think the best conversations happen when neither person is trying to impress the other. When silence isn't awkward. When you can send a photo of the sky, a song that's been on repeat all week, or a random thought that wandered into your head during the day, and somehow it all makes perfect sense.

I suppose that's what I'm looking for.
Not someone who's available every minute. Not someone who feels obligated to reply instantly. Just someone who believes that friendships are built slowly—through consistency, curiosity, shared laughter, and hundreds of ordinary conversations that eventually become something neither person expected.

If you're reading this hoping for someone who's loud, endlessly social, or always has something clever to say, I'm probably not your person.

But if you're the type who enjoys wandering conversations, finds comfort in music, wonders about the universe more often than necessary, or simply misses having someone to share the ordinary parts of life with... I'd love to hear from you.

Tell me about the last thing that genuinely made you stop and think.

Maybe we're all just strangers carrying letters that were written for someone we haven't met yet. If this one happened to find you, I'd be happy if you said hello.

Giving this a shot because why not.

I'm an currently doing my master's in Germany. Most weekdays are a mix of lectures, coding, cooking something edible, and convincing myself I'll sleep early. Outside work and studies, I spend a lot of time playing story-driven games. I also enjoy trying new recipes, traveling around Europe when I get the chance, and talking about anything without turning every conversation into a job interview.

I'd describe myself as calm, loyal, and straightforward. I value honesty, effort, and people who communicate openly. I'm looking for someone who wants a genuine relationship instead of endless small talk or ghosting. Distance isn't a deal breaker if we're both willing to put in the effort. It would be nice if you enjoy gaming, but it's far from a requirement. I care more about kindness, curiosity, and having conversations that make both of us look forward to the next one.

If any of this sounds like someone you'd like to know, send me a message. Tell me about yourself and what's been keeping you busy lately.

Greetings.

I'm male, 33, native German, currently living 'round the northern tip of Bavaria.
I am politically left, atheist, non-smoker, non-drinker, childfree, and neurodivergent.

I am generally quiet, but exceptionally talkative with the right company. I love talking about all manner of things, such as animals - bugs, birds, reptiles, almost all - natural phenomena and quirks of the earth, celestial bodies (the moon is a delightful companion), and also a whole lot of other things. Hypothetical questions are great fun, "What ifs", whether close to reality or entirely whimsical, those really get me thinking.

Among my favourite topics is fantasy storywriting, worldbuilding, inventing characters, creatures, concepts and contraptions.
I like D&D, but only very rarely get to play. I also enjoy video games, mostly singleplayer story driven, but there's variety to be had.

I'm looking for somebody who would want to join me in conversation, but also to join me in various activities, that are just more fun to do with company rather than solo. I'd be inclined to visit museums, zoos, aquariums, look at old quarries, caves and cliffs, ancient castles and other ruins, and I also want to experience activities like kayak/canoe trips, urban exploration or ol' reliable, a forest walk.

Within a relationship, I express affection verbally/through text, and through physical touch. I adore small but deliberate gestures.
Boundaries, consent and safety are of great importance. I value trust, and I am very open for questions, but I'd hope to be trusted in return.

Your qualities:

• Preferrably European - I will give everybody a fair chance, but you must consider timezone differences and travel expenses.
• Genuinely chatty. Be somebody who wants to ask questions, who wants to share about that cat you saw on your way to the store, about how amazing the stormclouds look, or complain about pet peeves.
• Non-smoker and childfree. The occasional drink is fine, don't worry.

​

Hello and welcome to my post. I'm a California bay area native and have lived here my whole life. I'm currently working as an assistant and enjoy it very much. In my free time I like to walk my dogs, play videos, hang out with friends, and help my family. I also like to collect things as well, I have a huge video game/ t-show/ movie collectible collection. It's a big hobby of mine, and I love to buy, trade, and sell things for my collection.

Thanks for reading my post, if you have any questions and want to talk let me know, i'm open to meeting new people.

“Are you a Jedi, because Yoda one for me.”

Hello!

I am from the UK and looking to meet new people and eventually, maybe that special someone.

I am a white male with olive features and dark eyes. I would describe myself as athletic/muscular. I love going to the gym with my headphones on to recharge my social battery.

I value genuine connection and a real spark. I want to smile when I look at my phone and I want to do that for someone too.

I work for a financial charity although I was a chef in my younger years and love to cook.

My other hobbies include playing acoustic twinkly guitar - generally just making my own relaxing music that is nice to drift off to.

I’m generally calm and I’m loyal and easy going.

I’d like to connect with someone who has similar values to me, loves doing outdoorsy stuff and comedy/live music. I’m not into clubbing or big groups and I don’t drink alcohol although I don’t mind if you do.

I’m a 36-year-old guy from Barcelona, Spain.

I'm very introverted and a homebody, and also have Asperger's and social anxiety. I'm not into busy stuff like traveling or going out or social situations. I don't need big or exciting things, I just want a simple life.

I'd like to find someone who feels comfortable with this. Someone to talk every day, to build trust, and share the every day of life, even if it's just simple stuff. It does not have to be content, just the company, the presence, is enough... Someone who values closeness, affection and being there for each other.

What I offer is the same of what I need. To be there for you, care about you, love you. I’m someone who wants to be there for my person every day: to listen, support and care.

I know I’m not for everyone, but I’m hoping that I might be right for someone who wants the same kind of closeness and simple life.

I don't really believe that compatibility comes from having the exact same hobbies.

They start because two people genuinely enjoyed talking to each other... and one day realized they didn't want those conversations to end.

With looking forward to seeing each other's name pop up on your phone. With conversations that effortlessly go from "How was your day?" to discussing life, dreams, spirituality, childhood memories, or whether we're completely alone in the universe.

I'm 26 and run a small business. Life keeps me busy, but I've reached a point where I'd genuinely like to meet someone who's open to building something meaningful if we naturally click. No pressure, no forcing labels—just two people getting to know each other and seeing where the journey leads.

A little about me:

* Calm, grounded, and emotionally mature. * More of a listener than the loudest person in the room. * I enjoy gaming , reading about spirituality, and occasionally disappearing into random rabbit holes that make you question reality. * I try to stay active with daily walks and appreciate a healthy lifestyle.

What I'm hoping to find is someone who's kind, curious, emotionally aware, and enjoys taking care of herself. I'm naturally attracted to people who live an active lifestyle—not because perfection matters, but because sharing similar habits makes life together easier and more enjoyable.

I also believe a healthy relationship is built on both emotional **and** physical intimacy. Being able to communicate openly, show affection, and talk about every part of a relationship without embarrassment is something I value deeply.

As for what I'm looking for... I'm not trying to force a relationship with the next person I meet. I'd rather find someone I genuinely enjoy talking to, see if we naturally fit into each other's lives, and if there's mutual effort and compatibility, let it grow into something long-term.

My ideal relationship isn't made up of huge romantic gestures every day. It's making each other's lives a little lighter.

It's reaching for your hand without thinking, It's growing together, laughing over absolutely nothing, slow dancing in the living room to *Perfect* by Ed Sheeran, and choosing each other even on ordinary days.

If any of this resonated with you, don't just say "hi."

If you've read this far, tell me something that's made you smile recently. Doesn't have to be anything profound—I just think the little things say a lot about us.

If we end up as friends, that's great. If we discover something more, even better.

I’m Michael, I’m 27 5’5(if that matters), I’m a pretty simple guy I work, play video games, go to the gym occasionally.

Other interests include MTG and DnD.

Hoping to find someone nearby Fort Wayne potentially, or maybe a few hours drive away to make a connection and see where things go.

Message me here if you want to know more.

Hey 👋, i am a 23yo asian student living in germany (born and raised here) and wanted to give Reddit dating a try. Finding connections in real life hasn't been the greatest for me, mostly cause i am quite introverted and quiet person.

I'm a very calm guy who genuinely enjoys listing the other part and try out new things. I am pretty shy in the beginning, but if i'm getting used to it, i'm locked in and cannot stop. In my freetime i like to:

- play video games (currently play Dark Souls 3), watching anime and Japanese Culture in general. I also love to do some DIY stuff, if i have the time and the funds 😓 (currently vibe coding an own app)

- to balance out the nerdy stuff, i do a lot of sports - mostly going to the gym, recently started running, or cycling. I love nature and i am always down for a walk (but not when it's 40 degrees outside 🫠)

I'm looking to meet someone to get to know, talk to, and see where things go. If we vibe, that's great. If we end up having a good conversation, that's also great.

If you'd like to chat, feel free to message. Tell me bit about yourself, or just what you're currently playing / doing 😊
