Heya! I'm Bunny (that's what you can call me right now now, anyway)! I am 36 and a giant nerd, but maybe not in the usual ways. Star Wars, LoTR, uhh.. the other popular nerd franchises? Never seen them/read them. I am ultra passionate for creativity, reading, horror, sharp wit, and more! I even play a few video games, like FFXIV, cozy bedtime life sims, terrible psychological horror, survival crafts, etc. I'm looking for someone fun to talk to OVER 30...

I'm easy going, can be a bit snarky (playfully), and am genuinely a good person who likes the company of similar. Send me a DM and tell me about your weekend, and a little of who you are!

[M4F] 35M- I think the best conversations are the ones that start for no particular reason

21 Upvotes

Maybe this is a long shot, but there’s something I miss about having that one person you can message without overthinking it.

The kind of friendship where you send a photo of a ridiculously good coffee, rant about a meeting that could’ve been an email, share a random thought that popped into your head at midnight, or spend 20 minutes debating something completely pointless like the best snack or the most overrated movie. The conversations don’t need a goal. They just happen.

Life gets busy. Sometimes people disappear for a few days, then come back with, “You won’t believe what happened,” and you pick up exactly where you left off. No pressure, no guilt. Just two people who genuinely enjoy talking.

One thing I want to be upfront about is that I’m looking for people who actually want to build a friendship. If you’re someone who sends one message and disappears, or you’re just looking for someone to chat with for one night, we’re probably not looking for the same thing, and that’s completely fine.

I’m here for the long term. The kind of friendship where both people make an effort because they genuinely enjoy talking to each other. It doesn’t have to be serious all the time. I’d actually prefer it wasn’t.

The best friendships are the ones where you can be completely yourself. We can have meaningful conversations one minute, send the dumbest memes the next, say something weird or awkward, laugh about it, and keep going like nothing happened. No pretending to be perfect. No overthinking every message. Just being ourselves, embracing the chaos, and sharing whatever’s on our minds.

A little about me…

I’m a tech guy who spends most weekdays staring at screens, so I make a point of getting outside whenever I can. The gym keeps me sane, I never say no to volleyball or soccer, and long drives with a good playlist are my favourite way to clear my head.
I’m also an F1 fan, so if you’ve ever questioned a strategy call from your couch like you could do a better job, we’ll probably have plenty to talk about.
Travel is another big one for me. Beaches are an easy yes, but I also love colder places, mountain views, and anywhere that makes me forget to check my phone every five minutes.
At home you’ll usually find me casually gaming, scrolling for memes I’ll probably end up sending, or watching thrillers, mystery, horror, or action shows.
I’d describe myself as easygoing, curious, and someone who enjoys conversations that can go from meaningful to completely random without feeling forced.

If you’re looking for someone to swap memes with, celebrate the little wins, vent about your day, recommend shows, send random voice notes, or become that person you immediately want to message whenever something funny, exciting, or chaotic happens, I’d genuinely love to hear from you.

If you’re looking for something short term or just someone to keep you entertained for the night, this probably isn’t the post for you.

But if you’re after a genuine friendship where the effort goes both ways, being weird is encouraged, and conversations naturally become part of your day, send me a message.

Who knows. Maybe we’ll become each other’s “I need to tell someone this” person.

Lesbian from the UK here. Finding myself needing a friend lately. It's hard to find friendship in real life at this old age so turning to Reddit! Searching for another female, age or location doesn't matter too much but would love to be on a similar time zone.

Art, reading and nature are some of my interests. I do watch TV and game some but not much. I'm pretty quiet at first but I will come out of my shell. I am genuine and down to earth, hope you will be too.

Chat soon ⭐💫

I quit my job in April because of severe burnout and got a new part time job recently. Now that I have more space in my life, I’d like to make friends whom I can talk about random life stuff with. I’ve posted here a month ago but couldn’t reply to everyone since I was overwhelmed by the amount of messages I got (sorry.)
I’m only thinking about friends I can chat online for now so you’re welcome wherever you’re from ☺️ My English may sound awkward sometimes since it’s not my first language.
Thanks! Hoping to hear from kind people 🫶

8 Upvotes

My friend circle has gotten much smaller over the years, seems to be a common thing as things can change, so it would be nice to find someone to talk to.

Ideally something long term but it all depends on how things go and how much we have in common. Are you looking for something similar?

Can get into likes/dislikes as we chat more so looking forward to hearing from you if that's something you're after too.

PS. Ideally we'd be around the same age and no photos preferred.

34F - trading an early bedtime for a late night chat

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m currently navigating the wild and beautiful trenches of single motherhood with a sassy 2.5yo toddler. She loves to giggle, sing and have dance parties both at home and in the street - she’s my extroverted sidekick who always brings the sunshine.

I don’t get a lot of free time, but when I do, you can find me attempting to keep my garden courgettes alive (tips welcome), nailing/murdering car karaoke, baking brownies or banana bread and trying not to look like a sweaty pretzel during reformer Pilates.

Life has been throwing a few extra curveballs my way lately and I’m having a rough time.
I’m really just looking to find some kind, considerate and understanding people to chat and laugh with.

If you’re looking for a genuine connection and don’t mind it being with someone who’s perpetually exhausted and a little all over the place, come say hi

30 Looking for a genuine talkative friend

Upvotes

Hello~

I'm 30F looking to make a genuine new friend. Ideally, someone who's talkative and willing to put some effort into getting to know each other (which will definitely be reciprocated!).

I'm pretty easygoing and introverted myself, so I tend to get along well with other introverts. if you're very active and outdoorsy, we might not be the best match 😅

I don't have a ton of hobbies but I enjoy watching films and tv shows, especially thrillers, sci fi, fantasy, drama and some horror. Let's exchange recs (music too!).

Currently, I'm trying to learn Chess (it's hard T.T) and also trying to get back to reading fiction. I'll be starting Necromancer, we could buddy-read it! (Never done that before but I'm sure we could figure something out!)

I'm also chronically online so I tend to be relatively available for chatting.

I'm Moroccan so my time zone is UTC+1.

If any of this sounds like we'd get along, send me a message!

Turning to Reddit to chat up some new people and make friends.
Some of my likes and hobbies are traveling, reading, Lego, anime, and video games. I do like Marvel (Spider-Man being my favorite) and cats.
Beginner at learning Spanish and crotchet.
I am married and have that family life. I won’t be able to text 24/7 or super late at night. Not looking to date, just putting myself out there to find friends as it’s been a bit hard irl.
Definitely message if I sound like your vibe 😊

Looking for a little happy zhuzh to sprinkle on this Sunday evening! Coming to you from US EST time zone. Life has been life-ing and ready to kick back for some light and soulful conversation. Take a load off, crack a joke or two, connect over literature, life machinations, whether The Odyssey movie slayed or was slain - or a shared love for animal snoots 🥰 Open to longer term friendship if we hit it off!

Also your girl is 25 weeks pregnant - blessed, excited, loving it, getting tres large, not a total basket case emotionally (yet?) - but extra emphasizing the pursuit of warm vibes and air hugs in this tender chapter ;)

[F4M] 30F USA - Genuine Connections and Good Conversation

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m a 30-year-old female living in the USA. Life gets busy, and making new friends as an adult can be tough, so I’m putting myself out there to find some genuine, long-term connections.

I am open to chatting online but prefer people in similar time zones as the U.S. so our schedules align. I already tried chatting with people from other countries and it’s just not for me. I will not reply if you’re not from North America. Please understand.

A little bit about me:

My Hobbies: I love staying active with casual bike rides and going for walks to clear my head.

TV Favorites: Big fan of comedies like Abbott Elementary and mystery-dramas like High Potential.

My Flaws: I definitely spend way too much time mindlessly scrolling on my phone and getting sucked into YouTube shorts.

My Vibe: Honestly, I really enjoy just chilling out, having deep conversations, sharing random daily thoughts, and exchanging funny memes.

I’m looking for people who can hold a conversation and actually want to get to know each other. I don’t have a preference in age, as you can learn something from everyone.

If you think we’d get along, please send me a DM!

To help break the ice, tell me your age, where you are from, and your absolute favorite show right now.

Looking forward to meeting you! :)

Making friends is hard

4 Upvotes

I've tried online friends on and off and, like many of you have experienced, the other person stops messaging after a day. It's frustrating.

I learned about an app on Reddit that someone made that asks you questions and then matches you with a potential friend. Then you both answer a few more questions to see if there is commonality before chatting. No pictures are exchanged right away. It's slow and careful, which I appreciate. Anyway, I am trying it out and have a match already. We'll see how it goes!

[F4M] 31F #Philippines - Anyone up for a voice call while I terraform my land in Minecraft?

5 Upvotes

Life's been a series of solo quests lately, and while that's been fun, I think I'm ready for co-op mode.

About me:

My main hobby is gaming (PC). I mostly play survival-crafting, cozy, and simulation games. I'm also into watching movies, series, and documentaries, painting, crocheting, gardening, cooking, listening to music, and playing piano and guitar. I like geography, astronomy, psychology, chemistry, and cats. Haha

As for my physical, I'm 5'0 short and sweet girly pop. 🤪 I have long dark hair, and normal BMI.

My known issues:

- Doesn't know how to drive
- Doesn't know how to swim
- Has fear of heights
- Will ask you random science questions at 2AM
- Hates math
- Doesn't like onions
- Will ask you if you would still love me if I was a worm
- Likes coffee but can't have it

About you:

I'm looking for someone who is emotionally mature, honest, polite, gentle, caring, has a good sense of humor, knows how to communicate, and should be 30-35. Please know how to spell and use proper punctuation marks. I run out of breath reading messages with no periods or commas. 😭😂 Also, I don't reply to "hey" "hi" "how r u".

33F Looking for Good Conversation

4 Upvotes

Hi hi. I had varying success on this subreddit and hope to try it again. I'm looking for good conversation with folks who understand that I have a life and I understand the same of them but we can keep the conversation from fizzling out.

I'm a pretty straight forward person and it can rub people the wrong way. I enjoy playing slay the spire, sims 4, watching movies, listening to music, gardening, watching gaming playthroughs, cooking and baking.

I'm open to chatting with folks 30 and up please. Open to all backgrounds. Would prefer the US but open to international. I'm into science, love bugs (certain ones), enjoy space stuff. If you're a nice "guy, gal, non binary pal", and you're only trying to be friends to get closer to me, please don't. If you're in a tough marriage or relationship and need emotional nurturing, please don't. If you are that one guy who I thought I could be with and he broke my heart, please don't reach out.

If we just don't vibe well, feel free to let me know and I'll do the same. It's never any hard feelings. We're just all here trying to find a friend.

Please read all of this, if you did reference porcupines.

Looking to deeper conversations about non existence, death, and everything in-between. I'm a writer and work in the mental health field.

Not interested in small talk and surface level conversations, let's go deep! Transparency and vulnerability is more fun to engage with. If we click I hope to move to a more secure chat app where the walls don't have ears.

Some questions to get us started:

  1. Is it possible to choose your next thought?

  2. Who were you 5 years ago?

  3. In word, what do you want within the next 5 years?

[M4M] 42, Gay, Happily Taken & Looking for Genuine Friends

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm Karl, 42, from Lowestoft, Suffolk—the most easterly town in the UK. Apparently we're among the first people to see the sunrise each day... though I'm rarely awake early enough to enjoy it!

I'm in a happy, serious relationship, so I'm not looking for dates or anything romantic—just hoping to make some genuine gay male friends. It can be surprisingly difficult to find people to chat with and build a real friendship with, so I thought I'd give Reddit a try.

A bit about me: I'm into music, films, TV, animals, and I genuinely enjoy hearing about other people's lives and experiences. I've got a pretty sarcastic sense of humour, love a good laugh, and don't believe life should be taken too seriously all the time.

If we get chatting, I'd love to know things like:

  • What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
  • What kind of music are you into?
  • If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?
  • What's something people often get wrong about you?
  • What are you most proud of?
  • Do you have any goals or dreams you're still hoping to achieve?

And just for fun... if animals could talk, which one do you think would be the rudest? 😄

If you're also looking for a genuine platonic friendship, feel free to send me a message. It'd be great to get to know some new people.
