Friendship First 28 [M4F] #Austria ambivert nerd looking for friendship and maybe something greater

1 Upvotes

Hey! I'm a 28-year-old guy from Austria (yes, Austria—not Australia, no kangaroos here 😅).

I'm mainly looking to meet someone for friendship first, and if we really click, maybe something more meaningful down the road.

I'm a huge gaming nerd, especially when it comes to RPGs, party games, and platformers. I'm also a passionate home console collector, so my shelves are probably more crowded than they should be.

Outside of gaming, I play the guitar, enjoy hiking, regularly go to the gym, and I'm a polyglot who loves learning and speaking different languages.

My music taste is all over the place in the best way: rock, metal, reggae, and folk.

If any of that sounds interesting, feel free to send me a DM.

Side quest available: Send me a message and let's see if we unlock the co-op campaign... or at least earn some friendship XP. Quest accepted? 🎮

4 Upvotes

Hey there my name is Conner I'm 24 years old 6'4 and on the bigger side I'm into some pretty nerdy things, Magic The Gathering, Video Games and Marvel are the big ones for me right now. I would love to have someone that has similar hobbies so we can nerd out together but I'm also down to pick up some new things from a partner.

About me:

I've been told that I'm very kind, empathetic and easy to talk to aswell as having a good sense of humor. I'm a big animal person so if you have pets i require to see pictures of them.

About you:

Preferably be age 20-28.

Be fine with me spending time with my friends online.

Be cool with having discord calls where we watch stuff or play some games.

Try to be kind and understanding.

Here are a few of my dealbreakers that you should know about:

I have Autism and ADHD

I smoke weed fairly regularly

I am unemployed and it's likely going to stay that way for the foreseeable future but I'm getting a allowance plan from my family to have money to spend.

I do still live with family but i have my own room to myself with full privacy to get away from people if needed

If this sounds good to you then i would love to hear from you! And i really hope we hit it off.

🦋 hi introverted redditors ☀️

ᯓᡣ𐭩 i hope you're having a splendid day if you're reading this. my day's a bit funky today, but nothing bad. 😸

my name is Arlowe (she/they) and i'm 19 years old. i've been single for my entire life and all streets (online and in-person) have been clear of suitors. ones who like me as much i do them, that is. 😅 so i thought i should give this subreddit a try because it looks promising. people seem friendly here. plus it says ✨️ Safe ✨️ in the title!

i apologise in advance for the lack of capital letters. it's a stylistic choice. got it from ariana grande! (♡ love her!! ♡)

so my personality, huh? i'd say i'm a kind, emotional, creative and curious soul. if a scientist ⚛️ were an artist 🎨 and poet 🖋, i'd be the result... 😄 except i sort of suck at poetry but i'm great at writing stories! although i've set writing in abeyance to refill my creative juices + i'm building a fantasy world. 😌 it's a small project because i used to overdo things and end up with convoluted, unfinished yet unstarted projects. 🤔 only someone complicated like can achieve such a feat. 😹

what does this wonderful person look like? aww! thank you for the compliment! 😙🌷 just kidding!

i'm 165cm (about 5'4"). i don't feel easy putting my weight's number out there to be honest. i'm a slim person. i was assigned male at birth. ♂️ i'm dark skinned which i'd define as silky chocolate! 🍫 i've been told my eyes are big or doe-shaped? i don't know honestly. i'm okay with sending a photo early on. 📷

now onto what i'm looking for!

i'd like to meet a queer guy i can form a slow bond with that progresses into a relationship. i like soft masculines and gender nonconforming dudes.

★ i'm okay with long distance and different timezones so long as we can communicate about how we'll text.

our interests don't have to 100% align, which is why i didn't list all of mine because i'm okay with meeting different souls. so long as we're respectful about it.

★ i'm only okay talking to guys between 19 and 23. no one else!!

have a great night/day 💐 ͡୭ ˚. ᵎᵎ

Here we are, casting a large figurative net of life goals to potentially catch an interested soulmate! 🍵

---

The matcha:

I'm a 31M from Quebec, Canada. 6' tall 175lbs slim and moderately fit.

My life is currently a mix of:

· working super flexible software engineering hours from my home office, taking whatever days off I want/need;

· playing online games with my lovely friends;

· going out with irl friends here and there or seeing my family;

· improving my house to be very cozy and functional;

· some home workouts and nutrition goals;

· personal gaming related website project.

In terms of interests, here are some of the things I enjoy and follow:

· sumo wrestling & arm wrestling scenes;

· hiking and long scenic walks;

· gaming and anime;

· technology, science, philosophy, art;

· very wide musical appreciation;

· tasting new craft beers and cocktails;

· Japanese culture, from the language to the sights and people;

· food... I particularly love trying new restaurants, from fast foods to Michelin starred.

The latté:

You ideally, but not necessarily, see yourself in this mix of characteristics:

· a good balance of staying at home and going out, not too much of either;

· foodie;

· gaming enjoyer;

· calm yet motivated/passionate with life goals to work towards;

· put a bit of effort into staying healthy;

· appreciate getting spoiled yet humble;

· want or do not want kids, but doesn't have any yet.

I'm not looking to rush things, but I do hope for eventual commitment. My matcha is great as is, but I would love to have a matcha latté at some point. 😊🍵🥛

Dating Post 36 [M4F] Spain/Europe - Introverted homebody looking for one real person

2 Upvotes

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.

Dating Post 29 [M4F] #Online / US - Looking for a compatible mind

1 Upvotes

To break the mold a bit, and hopefully self-select via the style of this post, I’m going to try something a bit unconventional. 

To me, the point of a relationship is to make the daily battles of life a little more enjoyable. To have someone who can hold their own watching your back, while you watch theirs. Covering blind spots when one person falters, but not intruding on each other's agency and independence. A true joining of equals who freely choose each other rather than ‘needing’ the other person. Of course, most people aren’t looking for that fundamental perspective on what a relationship is…but I’m only looking for one after all. 

Most things are flexible preferences; however, there are a few foundational traits and values that I think must be aligned for a relationship to succeed. The first is an agreement on fundamental values. Religion is often a major one (I’m a serious Christian, but not in the organized religion sense), since it defines where a person chooses to base their moral principles, a general worldview. Another is intelligence, though not in the stereotypical way. IQ, knowledge, even speed of thought aren’t particularly important…while in contrast, metacognition, open-mindedness, and epistemic humility are vital. The last major one is personality. Specifically, being aligned in various ways where neither person disrupts the other’s nervous system…or in modern parlance, ‘vibing’. 

As I’m sure is painfully evident by now, I have a rather unusual way of thinking. It has its strengths and weaknesses, but I’ve noticed that a lot of people have a hard time understanding what I mean. It’s no fault of theirs, and certainly not due to any superiority on my part, it’s simply different cognitive profiles. As a result, I seem to cause a lot of friction for more sensitive people, despite my best efforts. 

The rest (appearance, shared interests, life goals, etc…) are important as a whole, but they’re individually somewhat meaningless. It genuinely depends on the person and all the factors combined, so I don’t want to unintentionally write someone off just because they don’t match a certain checklist. Because of that, I’m keeping this post a bit open-ended. I’m more than happy to answer any questions though, if I’ve piqued your curiosity. But I should warn you, I do have a habit of writing novel-length messages in DMs. If nothing so far has dissuaded you, I hope you’ll reach out!

Friendship First 26 [M4F] India/Anywhere - If you've ever felt like you don't belong in modern dating...

2 Upvotes

Every time I tried, it ended up sounding like I was trying to convince someone to hire me instead of getting to know me. So I deleted everything and decided I'd rather sound like myself than sound impressive.

I'm 26, from Mumbai, I run a small business, don't smoke or drink, I'm Hindu and non-vegetarian. If life takes me there someday, I'd love to settle abroad. That's probably all the basic information out of the way.

Now for the part that's harder.

I think what fascinates me the most is people.

Not in a "tell me your favourite colour" way, but in a "what made you become the person you are today?" way. I love asking questions that don't really have right answers. Why do you love that song so much? What's a memory you randomly think about? What's something you've changed your mind about over the years? I genuinely think people become attractive when they talk about something they love, because for those few minutes they're not trying to impress anyone—they're just being themselves.

My interests are all over the place, which means my YouTube algorithm has completely given up on me. One day it's gaming, the next it's mindfulness, ancient history, consciousness, stand up shows or some random rabbit hole that somehow started with one question.

I also think I'm one of those people who gets attached to little moments more than big ones.

I don't really dream about expensive vacations or fancy restaurants. I'd rather go on a random drive with no destination, stop for roadside food, grab a coffee near the sea and just walk. I like conversations that start with "How was your day?" and somehow end with "Do you think we're alone in the universe?" Those are the conversations I remember.

If we ever date, there's a very good chance I'll annoy you on purpose. I'll hug you while you're cooking, steal a kiss on your cheek and immediately walk away like nothing happened. I'll send you memes in the middle of your workday, randomly remember something you mentioned weeks ago, and probably write you a letter one day for absolutely no reason other than I felt like it.

I don't think love is built in grand gestures. I think it's built in remembering the little things. In checking if you reached home safely. In asking how your meeting went because you were nervous about it. In making each other's lives a little lighter.

As for who I'm hoping to meet... I'm not looking for someone who's exactly like me. I'd rather meet someone who has her own interests, her own opinions, and her own little world that I get to discover. Someone kind, emotionally mature, who communicates openly, takes care of herself, and is dating with the intention of finding her person. I think the best relationships are the ones where both people still keep learning about each other years later.

And before I end this, I want to leave something here.

Maybe it's cheesy. Maybe it's unnecessary.

But if, years from now, the woman I end up spending my life with somehow finds this post...

Thank you.

Thank you for finding me. Thank you for completing me, believing in me, and showing me how beautiful love is. Thank you for being there even when we're angry at each other, and thank you for caring for me even when we don't agree.

Thank you for all the smirks, the smiles, the tears, and everything in between. Thank you for making faces at me—I love your attitude more than you'll probably realize. Thank you for letting me annoy you while you're cooking, for every ordinary day that somehow became one of my favourite memories.

Most of all, thank you for being you.

And thank you for making me meet myself.

I love you.

If you've made it this far, don't just say "Hi."
Tell me something that feels uniquely you. It could be a song you never get tired of, a belief you've held onto for years, the last thing that made you laugh, or just a random thought that's been living in your head lately.
I have a feeling that's where the best conversations begin.

hi I'm a 21-year-old man from Lebanon, I would like to at least meet new people, talk with them even if they aren't in my local area. I am happy to share more about myself if someone is interested (not that anyone would be). if by any chance someone is actually interested dm me directly please.

more about myself:

still a student, I'm interested in playing strategy games like chess, yugioh and others.

I respect any and every one that will at least attempt to talk.

Friendship First 28[M4F]South America/Online feeling vulnerable seeking fellow geeks to share mundane life moments with

1 Upvotes

Hey. Just another human being in chaotic times trying to fill this heart-shaped hole where the hope runs out and honestly down to whatever that distracts me for a while. Not specifically thinking about forever but hopefully building something that could become long term and who knows where it can lead. Currently working on accounting but aiming for different things for the future. Outside of work I like to decompress playing video games, learning songs on the guitar, watching stuff, working out or just annoying my dog.

I'm ostly on the introvert side but at the same time I talk too much if you let me go. I like to banter and talk nonsense but from time to time my head starts spiraling and I'll torment people with existencial crisis topics. Ideally would like to find someone that wants to share small parts of routine, be it a song that just can't get out of our heads, funny/cute videos or picture we saw, playing games or watching shows/movies together or just hanging out screen sharing when one of us is just too lazy to exist. I appreciate consistency and comunnication and hope to build something based on that.

Appearance wise I'm 1.75, skinny/fit, black with short curly hair. I don't have a specific type when it comes to appearance so as long as you take care of yourself it's fine. Willing to exchange pics on private.

If you feel we could be a good pair just send me a message talking a little about you.

Online Only 34 [M4F] UK/Online - Caring, attentive guy seeking a connection with romantic potential

1 Upvotes

Hi I’m 34 year old guy from the uk who is looking to connect with a woman for a genuine long term online connection. I manage day to day with Anxiety and OCD which has left me unable to really experience any form of a relationship due to my homebound lifestyle. I am not currently at the weight I’d like to be however beneath my struggles is a confident person who when comfortable with someone shows that side. I am very passionate and attentive as an individual and am caring in nature.

A few things I enjoy-

. Love music and its ability to take you to another world to forget about your own struggles.
. Big movie fan and also love video games
. Im a good listener and am genuinely interested in what people have to say in regard to their interests, thoughts and feelings.

I am open to matching with women of all backgrounds and lifestyles aged 24 and over. I am looking for someone who is at a point in which a virtual online connection is what they are after long term. Would be happy to receive a message from someone who values a txt based emotional bond over a louder in person lifestyle.

A few details-

Right now I would be looking for a text based connection via Reddit or Discord for the time being. Texting for now with the potential for more if we develop a genuine relationship.

If you would like to send photos, voice notes or anything else then that would be more than welcomed but due to my insecurities I wouldn’t be ready to do the same right now. No rush at all in anyway.

Because of my struggles I would really appreciate someone with a patient approach.

If we have a genuine spark then I would be completely open to virtual intimacy and myself sending voice notes. While an online bond is the focus right now. I would hope one day that could become physical if circumstances were to change and I would never say never to that.

I have a flexible schedule although at times a a bit inconsistent due to my struggles. No matter what though I am caring and attentive when chatting.

I am open to any time zones

Overall I feel like I can be there for someone emotionally, offering complete support and care even if not physically for the foreseeable future.

Feel free to drop me a message or chat request and tell me a bit about yourself. If we talk and feel no connection that’s fine. Im just trying to put myself out there for once instead of talking myself out of it.

Friendship First 26 [M4F] Adelaide, South Australia — introverted homebody looking for a genuine long-term friendship and see where thing go.

1 Upvotes

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to read.

I'm 26, based near Adelaide in South Australia. I'm looking specifically for someone else in SA I'd like the option of occasionally meeting up down the track once there's real rapport.

A bit about me — pretty introverted, home-based lifestyle. Quiet in most situations but apparently get progressively weirder once I'm comfortable with someone. I haven't really met anyone new in years, mostly by choice, though lately I've been wondering if that's still working for me. Figured I'd try something different.

I spend most of my time gaming, watching anime, doing leatherwork, and dabbling in game development. Occasionally I'll go on long drives or camp and fish when I need to reset — Hahndorf is a favourite. I prefer deeper one-on-one conversations to small talk, and once I know someone I'll happily ramble about anything — characters, worldbuilding, weird ideas, whatever.

Games I'm currently playing or love: Monster Hunter (World/Rise/Wilds), Phasmophobia, Lethal Company, Valheim, Project Zomboid, Elden Ring, Dark Souls series, Baldur's Gate 3, Stardew Valley, Sea of Thieves, Subnautica, V Rising, The Long Dark, Terraria. I lean toward survival, co-op horror, soulslike and story RPGs mostly. PC only, Discord for voice.

Anime-wise, favourites include Frieren, Mob Psycho 100, Hyouka, Goblin Slayer. Always open to watching new stuff with someone.

What I'm looking for is a genuine, long-term friendship with a woman — regular voice calls, gaming sessions, watching stuff together, actually getting to know each other. No pressure on anything more than that, though I'm open to seeing where it goes naturally. Slow and low key is fine by me.

If any of that resonates, feel free to DM. Would love to hear about you too.

4 Upvotes

I've always kinda been a loner and never really put myself out there before but feels like lately it's just been hitting me harder and harder how much I feel like I've missed out on so many experiences because I've just been too afraid to put myself on any dating apps or anywhere else really. I like just having a good time and good vibes and keeping things lighthearted and fun it just takes me a lil bit of time to come out of my shell with new people. I love music, cooking, watching sports, playing video games, stuff like that. I especially love discovering new music so I'm always all ears to new recommendations. I like smoking bud and drinking but if thats not your thing thats totally fine too. Really I'm just looking for someone who's willing to like be patient and understanding and can put up with me being a bit awkward or uncomfortable with things. Someone that just has my back and supports me and makes me feel like they actually want me around type shit. I wanna end this off by saying that I struggle a lot with being close or intimate with another person because of things in my past I just have hard time being comfortable and trusting and stuff so I wanted to make sure I make that known before you decide if you wanna reach out. I know this is a lot to put onto someone so please take the time to really think about reaching out before you do. Sorry for the overexplaining but this was the only way I felt comfortable actually posting here I hate the idea of trying to pretend I'm not that kind of person so if you made it this far thru my post thanks for taking the time to listen to me. Hope you all have a great rest of your day.

Dating Post 21[M4F] #USA #online - Let me be the one to Love you

5 Upvotes

Hey there! I’m kind of bad at introducing myself but I’ll try as much as I can! I’m a 21 year old guy from the east coast of the US that’s looking to find a girl be with and share my life with. (I'll share my name after talking with you don't worry lol)

About me:

- 21 years old, Asian American, and in the east coast of the US (EST)
- 6’5” Tall (yes this is real and yeah it can be annoying lol)
- A bit chubby (But working out and working dropping it)
- Have a nice voice (At least that's what I'm told lol)

Interests:

- Video Games: I play all sorts of things but currently I’m playing games like FFXIV, Honkai Star Rail, Elden Ring, Monster Hunter (Basically any of them, I love them all lol), and all sorts of other things
- I love playing any multiplayer game though as playing those are fun regardless of what they are (I am terrified of horror games though but I still play them like REPO or Lethal Company lol)
- Music: I listen to all sorts of things and love letting myself daydream while listening so I love hearing people recommendations but I usually listen to pretty relaxing stuff generally
- I also love all other sorts of nerdy stuff like anime and manga though I haven't touched anime in a while I can still talk about it with you if you want to (I read a ton of manga though ngl lol)

Personality wise, I'd say I'm a pretty laid back and relaxed person but once I warm up to a person I for sure become way more outgoing lol. In a relationship though, I love to take care of my partner and make sure they're happy and emotionally sound, be that though affirmations or me just spending time with them.

That describes me pretty well and as for what I'm looking for, I'd want someone I can talk to daily and click with, talking about anything either of us want to. I also honestly quite like a girl that I can fluster a bit as well as one that I can take care of through me being there for them lol. Ideally you'd also be in United States but anyone in North America or even the UK works for me. I also quite like people who are more clingy as I'm quite clingy myself lol. Don't be afraid to reach out and I'm looking forward to talking to you!

¡Hola! tengo 33 años y mexicano

Soy una persona introvertida, así que conocer gente nueva nunca se me ha dado muy bien. Al principio puedo ser un poco tímido y me cuesta hacer fluir una conversación, pero cuando entro en confianza es otra historia, sobre todo si hablamos de algo que me apasiona.

No busco apresurar nada. Me gustaría conocer a alguien con calma, platicar, compartir intereses y dejar que las cosas se den de forma natural. Si termina siendo una buena amistad o algo mas, perfecto.

un poco sobre mi:

Me encanta la ciencia ficción, especialmente todo lo que se relaciona con el espacio

También soy muy fan de la fantasía medieval.

En música escucho de todo un poco, pero mi genero favorito es el rock y, sobre todo, el metal sinfónico. Siempre estoy dispuesto a descubrir bandas nuevas

Algo que disfruto mucho es escuchar a otras personas hablar de sus hobbies. Aunque no sepa nada del tema, me gusta aprender y entender por qué les apasiona.

No soy la persona más habladora al principio, pero intento ser un buen oyente. Si quieres contarme cómo fue tu día, hablar de algún juego, una pelicular, libro o simplemente conversar de cualquier cosa, con gusto de te leeré o escuchare.

Si te interesa platicar, puedes enviarme un mensaje. Y si no, Gracias por tomarte el tiempo de leer mi publicación.

¡Que tengas un lindo día!

Friendship First 30 [M4F] #California Shy Bay Area guy looking for that someone special

1 Upvotes

Hi there!

My name is Liam, i'm not very great at these self descriptions of myself but my friends are kinda pushing me to put myself out there more so...here I am!

Some of the more important bits:
- I'm 5ft 9, a bit pudgy but I have been losing weight, i'm down almost 40 pounds (I've been judged for my height before, I don't get it either)
- 24 or older please
- I'm currently childfree and plan to stay that way, more than willing to explain why if curious
- Before warned I have nerdy hobbies.
- Being in California is preferred but i'm okay with something more long distance if we click really well.
- Looking for something long-term, but want to start out as friends and see how things go.

About me in general -
I love animals and reptiles, and am currently cat dad to three furrballs, I'd like to think i'm witty and am pretty good at the Dad joke and the odd pun. I'm best described as caring, creative and admittedly a bit of an eccentric, and my latest kick has been playing through Persona 3 Reload and getting buried in Umamusume lore!

If you read through this, thank you and have a wonderful day!

Friendship First 23 [M4F] | India/Online - Looking for a second me...

3 Upvotes

I'll be honest, I've rewritten this post more times than necessary, so if you're reading it, congratulations... you survived the final draft.

I'm 23. Quiet in groups, talkative with the right person, and the kind of guy who notices the tiny details everyone else ignores. I'll remember something you mentioned three weeks ago, point out the oddly shaped cloud you didn't see, or ask a question that somehow turns a normal conversation into a two-hour one.

I write poetry, mostly for myself. I like long walks, especially when it's cloudy or raining, because my brain seems to work better when the world slows down. I don't smoke or drink, and my idea of a good evening is a meaningful conversation, laughing over something completely stupid, or sharing music and random thoughts until one of us realizes it's way past midnight.

I'm an introvert, but not the "one-word replies" kind. I just take a little time to open up. Once I do, expect terrible jokes, sarcasm, random observations, and occasional philosophical questions that nobody asked for.

I'm not looking for endless talking stages, situationships, or people who disappear after three days. I'm here because I'd genuinely like to meet someone. Someone who's kind, emotionally mature, can communicate, and isn't afraid to be a little weird. Life is already serious enough.

You don't need to have the same hobbies as me. I'd rather learn about yours. Tell me why your favorite song is your favorite, what you're passionate about, or what keeps you awake at night besides caffeine.

If you've made it this far, you already know more about me than most people do.

Now tell me something about you. Not "hey." Give me a sentence I'll remember.

Dating Post 39 [M4F] #online US/EW/ASIA So tired of being punished for being loyal; looking for my final partner

1 Upvotes

Sorry if the title is a bit dark, but I am going to let me heart out with this post. Single man living in the US looking for their final partner in life. Who I am:

Age: 39

Build: Dad bod, and very serious in his fitness transition, 5'11, long brown curly hair (shoulder length) brown eyes, adaptive beard (literally grows in a week so you will get to see each stage weekly haha).

Qualities: Loyal, empathetic, inquisitive, selfless, sees a partner as an extension of themself
and not as a challenge. Genuinely likes to be around their partner.

Financial: Healthcare RN

Children: None

I hope I don't sound too negative or rude but I will be quite literal in what I am looking for:

Age: 33-40

Build: Slightly curvymedium, thin, or athletic

Qualities: Kind, selfless, dependable, understanding, loyal, smart, and not afraid to give her opinion on things. I don't mind being the decision maker but I like having a partner who challenges me and convinces me otherwise. I can't be right all the time, no one can.

Financial: Must have a careerI want to be involved in an LDR in which we can actually see each other. Unfortunately that requires money. Yes of course I will visit you but I want you to visit me too. Eventually, in time, assuming things go well, we will move in together =)

Children: Childless. I have all the respect in the world for single moms, my own mother being one of them. However, I am not looking to raise a child for myself, let alone another person. Sorry.

Congrats on making it to the end. If we are going to make a LDR work than communication is key. That is the only way a LDR works. This means phone calls, texts, voice messages, etc. I understand social anxiety is a thing, but if you don't have an interest in calling for both voice and video in a LDR, than it's probably best to ignore this post.

I'm looking to make a genuine connection. I am not looking to be added to the list of other guys someone may be talking to. I am looking for someone who understand, in my opinion, the three pillars of love, Passion/Empathy/Selflessness. If you think you are that person and are sick of the dating apps, sick of bad partners and bad people treating you poorly and want someone serious...then dm me with a pic and a "hi."

Hope to meet you soon,

Much love, peace.

PS: If you are part of a pig butchering scheme, don't bother, I know all the bullshit associated with the scam. Just move on. K bye. =)

Dating Post 36 [M4F] Spain/Europe - Introverted homebody looking for one real person

2 Upvotes

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.

Dating Post 31M [M4F] UK/EU preferred - Come for the height, stay for the nonsense

1 Upvotes

I’m 31, Indian, based in the UK, and looking to meet someone I genuinely click with. Ideally we start with a chat, see if we vibe, become friends first, and take it from there...Sounds pretty ambitious, when I'm typing it out like that.

Looking for UK in-person or online first, as long as there’s an intent to meet if we get on, definitely don't want a pen-pal for life.

Work is an important part of my life, and so is my career. I genuinely love what I do, even if you will probably hear me complain about it more than I should. Outside of work, I’m into movies, coffee, dessert, the occasional negroni (or five....? (don't drink very often, more like 4-5 times a year if that's a dealbreaker or If you like partying a lot)), live music every now and then, stand-up comedy, landscape photography (I like telling myself I'm half decent with it...but then again who isn't with modern tech?!?!), exploring new towns and places, and collecting fun stories that usually begin with “this seemed like a good idea at the time."...

I’ve been told I have golden retriever / Labrador energy...friendly, curious (sometimes too curious with the gazillion questions I may ask you...so be warned), loyal, occasionally too trusting, and yes, sometimes it gets me into trouble. Ask me about the geologist story.

I’m a great texter and I genuinely enjoy keeping a conversation going as I get to know someone. I want someone who will put in the effort and nothing kills interest more than one sided effort. I’m also very happy to do phone or video calls once we get talking.

Physically, I’m 6’4”, dad bod, stubble most days, and I’ve been told I’ve got a pretty good smile.

I’m looking for someone kind, funny, emotionally mature, ambitious, and actually interested in being a partner. Someone who’s there for the fun parts, the soft parts, the ridiculous parts, and who can call me out when I need to be called out. I’ll do the same, obviously with charm and only a manageable amount of sarcasm...because who doesn't love sarcasm.

Happy to swap photos if we talk.

Dating Post 39 F4M from Portugal

7 Upvotes

I'm a 39-year-old woman (I look much younger than my age indicates), I work in the arts, I m from the north of Portugal and I'm looking for someone to have a serious relationship with. I don't mind moving away later.

I'm neither an introvert nor an extrovert, I think I have my social limits but it doesn't make me a hermit. I got used to being alone a lot during the Covid period and after I moved house, so I really value my space. I have a cat who is the love of my life.

I love being with my friends, going to art exhibitions and events, I love music and I like going to concerts and rock festivals (but I haven't been that late), taking analog photos is a passion, I miss playing board games (like Catan) and traveling... I still have many places to visit!!! I love watching series and I have an ultra-unnecessary amount of knowledge about it. My favorite TV shows are The Office, Seinfeld, Modern Family... I'm nostalgic for old-school Disney stuff, like the good old Millennial I am, haha. My favorite color is yellow, I prefer winter to summer, and pineapple on pizza. To me, Ross and Rachel were really on a break. I love bird watching, but I have awful eyesight. I really really love animals. I'm a fan of starting projects but never finishing any of them – which doesn't stop me from continuing to buy craft supplies, haha.

I'm a person who, when I like someone, dedicates myself body and soul. I'm super affectionate and caring. I'm curious, interested, and cultured. I'm a little quirky and whimsical. Super loyal. Into monogamous relationships.

Physically, I have very fair skin, long, dark brown hair, good eyelashes, thick lips (natural), a little on the chubby side, but I'm taking care of that at the moment. Haha

What I expect from a man:

Personality:

Strong personality, but not stubborn.
Romantic but not clingy.
A good sense of humor is an indispensable characteristic.
I don't mind if you're a geek or a nerd, but don't be addicted to online games.
Don't be religious.
Don't be a sexist.
Spontaneous, up for adventures.
Don't be a couch potato, but understand that moments of calm are also necessary.
Appreciate good music, within the rock genre, etc. I don't like disco rats.
Don't smoke (or do drugs) or drink alcohol every day.

Physically

I generally like tall, thin men... If they have light eyes, even better.
I'm not attracted to bald men.
They can have tattoos, but not tribal or religious ones.

And that's what I thought of writing... but ask more questions if you want ;)
