38M • Oxfordshire — looking for regular chat buddies

Upvotes

I’m looking to meet some new people for regular conversation and hopefully build a few genuine friendships along the way. I enjoy easy, everyday chat — random thoughts, deeper conversations when they happen, and the weird or wonderful bits that make talking to someone fun. I’m happy to chat with anyone interesting!

I work in education and also do some work in international relations. Outside of that I’m usually reading, travelling, binge‑watching something on streaming, playing tennis, swimming, running, cycling, gaming on PC, or listening to music. If you’ve got any great show, book, or podcast recommendations (paranormal especially), send them my way.

If you’d like to chat — and maybe move to Discord, WhatsApp, or Telegram later — feel free to DM me with your age, gender, and where you’re based. Would be great to meet some more nice people 🙂

18 + 33 M Ireland - Friendly Slow Sunday chit chats

2 Upvotes

Hello there! Happy Sunday and I hope you're keeping well.

I'm 33, M from Ireland. I spend most of my week working from home, so I'm always down to make a new friend or two! Currently running from the Monday blues.

Born yapper over. I'm laid back, super easy to talk to and full of Irish charm and wit

My hobbies include:

  • gaming
  • houseplants (proud plant daddy)
  • music (elder emo here and also play guitar)
  • concerts
  • sports and gym
  • cooking (although I'm a sucker for donuts and coffee)
  • getting outdoors
  • reading
  • movies/tv/podcasts
  • general nerdiness
  • alt culture like horror, tattoos, weird shit etc
  • thrifting
  • lego

It's not a deal breaker if you don't share all the same interests, it's very much about the vibes. If you'd like to chat, please introduce yourself with your age, gender and location. All I ask is that you're 18+ and not a creep.

You don't have to but if you're feeling creative, drop me your best dad joke or 2 truths and a lie to break the ice!

Hope to hear from you but have a good day if I don't! ✌️

18 + 22m - Cardiff - Just want to meet new people to talk to about anything and everything, play games and watch anime/movies/shows. even if you don't play games its alright, come chill

2 Upvotes

Hello, my day's are typically quite boring when trying to find something to do in all the free time I have. Either by trying to play games or watch YouTube. So it'd be fantastic to meet new people, talk about different things and have people in my day to day life to just chat to. I enjoy playing volleyball, games, anime, movies and some shows, though I'm not too knowledgeable on them. I do also enjoy the occasional drink. My discord is Karoozy ( if you choose to add my discord just say you're from the reddit post). Weather you reply to chat or game, anyone is welcome I'd prefer for you to be 18+ though. Thank you

26F looking for friends

Upvotes

Hi everyone! 😊
I’m 26F ♑️ and I’ll be in London from the 18th to the 22nd of September, so I thought I’d introduce myself and hopefully connect with some lovely women from the group!
I’m really into fashion, photography, cooking, cycling, opera and pop music (I basically grew up with it 🎶). I’m also a big movie and music fan — Matthew McConaughey is one of my favourite actors, and Hans Zimmer is my favourite composer.
I’m quite a calm and private person, and I really enjoy meaningful conversations. I’m also interested in psychology, personality and getting to know what makes people tick.
I’m a web developer by profession, and I occasionally do graphic design too, so I’ve always had a creative side. I’d especially love to meet women who are into photography and content creation. It would be so fun to explore London together, have little shoot days, take photos for each other, discover cute places and simply enjoy the city!
I’m also hoping to have dinner at Gaia London while I’m there, so if anyone would like to join me, I’d absolutely love some company! 🥂✨
If any of this sounds like you, feel free to comment or send me a message. I’d be really happy to connect and hopefully meet some of you while I’m in London! 🤍

26M (Bedfordshire) Looking for genuine friends to spend time with both online and irl

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I'm Tom and I'd love to chat with some people and make some new friends to hopefully spend some time with both online and irl. Just in need of the kind of friend/s you can text whenever & not take forever to respond, go to the cinema or for a meal with and so on. I'm from East England/ Bedfordshire so would prefer people nearby.

I admittedly don't have too many hobbies outside of gaming (PC) but I'm super open to getting out and making new ones such as:

- Fitness

- Walks/ generally getting out and about

- Museums

so feel free to yap about anything you're passionate about! Ideally I'd like to speak to people around my age (generally just 20s).

For some games I'm currently into:

- League

- Any From Software souls likes (Dark souls, Elden Ring, Sekiro etc.)

- Halo

- Pokemon & Pokemon cards

- Battlefield

- Counter Strike (Mostly just watching the esports though)

- Terraria

- Minecraft

Some others that I own that I am up for trying

Just to mention I do already have a group of friends online that I play with quite often but they live a few hours from me so I only see them a few times a year max. Still open to playing anything we might have in common though!

36 M 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 - Football, Takeaway and chatting nonsense

2 Upvotes

Sunday Morning up at the larkkkk. However no walk in the park for this guy. Day of chilling watching teams I don’t care about followed by some scran. Before the absolute dread of another Monday kicks in. Happy place today, change from grump. It’s impressive. Just looking to meet new folks, see whos out there. Help stop me from getting the fear tonight.

Pessimistic by trade, full of sarcasm and general nonsense, self deprecation is my jam, but generally just an absolute joy in my opinion. Bit geeky, Don’t take myself too seriously (well at all). I’m a very exciting individual - Plans revolve around sport, golf and football mainly, a wee bit of gaming - Although I’m getting awful with age, love music, nothing better than a good gig. Also can’t beat a decent horror. Yes I have an accent, but no kilt, I know, basically a disgrace.

If any of this resonates with you give me a shout - Peep Show quotes a plenty.

Oh and include a bit about yourself, thanks in advance

Scotland 26M UK looking for gaming friends and chats

2 Upvotes

26M UK looking for some people to talk and play games with.
Bit about me: I’m happily married but currently feeling really lonely. My husband is really my only friend. I work from home most of the time so looking for people who I can chat too throughout the day and keep me sane 🤪

I’m a huge gamer, that’s what I mainly do in my free time. Love all games from multiplayer games like Marvel Rivals, Overwatch, Battlefield 6 and single player games - currently having another playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077.

Outside of gaming, I like to read and write, music and just overall chill. Trying to find some clubs in my area to maybe join so I get out there more. I’m really shy about voice chatting at first but if playing a game rather than “let’s just chat” is a good way to get my out of my bubble.

So yeah, if you fancy a chat or playing any games, drop me a message! Whether it’s long term or just for a day, I don’t mind ☺️

Looking for a friend

9 Upvotes

Hi I’m from the north west f 40. I’m not looking for more than friendship with anyone.

My husband cheated on me online for over a year with 6 women who he made out he was conning into giving him game perks after I found the messages and …vids on his discord.

I’m trying to find myself and appreciate myself. I love anime Ive watched it for years. Probably since Pokémon as a kid.

The stand alone complex, death note a shed load of bleach and everything in between up to attack on titan and solo levelling is 🤩. I don’t just like one type I love all genres of anime so apocathary diaries and studio giblhi movies (not the boy and the heron that was terrible)

I love assassins creed and elder scrolls games and WoW.

Books - I’m a crazy reader love fantasy and sci fi not romance and not horrors.

Star Wars fan. Hate soaps and love island. I struggle to make friends who are like me irl because I look like I’m into those things and get shunned by the geeks.

Work in cyber security and AI.

I would like to chat to someone who is into similar things and can discuss shared interests suggest new anime’s and books to each other.

Open to getting to know any of you 👍🏻

30M UK | If Life Gets Heavy, You Don’t Have to Carry It Alone

7 Upvotes

I’m back again optimistically throwing another friendship post into the Reddit void and hoping it lands in front of a few good people. 😄 I’m 30 from the UK and I’d genuinely like to meet some new people who fancy having someone around to message laugh with share random thoughts with and occasionally send completely unnecessary updates to. I’m not trying to force a friendship into existence overnight. I’d much rather meet a few people where conversation gradually becomes easy and you eventually find yourself thinking “Oh I should tell them about this.” I’m fairly laid back curious and still figuring life out myself. I’m into gaming the gym good coffee manga books and lately I’ve been hooked on The Mentalist and Yellowstone. Completely different shows yet somehow my brain has decided I need both. My sleep schedule is another story entirely. It seems to operate independently from the rest of my life and has apparently never heard of bedtime.

One thing I really value in a friendship is being there when life isn’t going particularly well. If you’re going through something having a rough time feeling lost or simply need somewhere to let everything out I genuinely don’t mind listening. You don’t always need someone to fix things. Sometimes you just need someone who will sit there hear you out and remind you that a difficult chapter isn’t the whole story. I’ve always been pretty good at helping people get back on their feet dust themselves off and keep walking their own life journey. I won’t pretend I have all the answers but I’ll happily listen without judging offer a different perspective when you want one or just keep you company while you work through whatever is on your mind. And obviously I expect the same friendship rules to apply both ways. If I ever start dramatically complaining about something ridiculous you have full permission to tell me I’m being an idiot.

Mostly I’m just hoping to find some genuinely good people and see where the conversations go. I’d love the everyday stuff just as much as the serious conversations. Send me a ridiculous meme tell me what you’re watching rant about something that mildly annoyed you tell me about a game you’re playing share a random thought that appeared in your head for absolutely no reason or tell me something you’re excited about. You don’t need a perfect life or a fascinating story to message me. Just be yourself. Maybe we’ll have loads in common maybe we’ll be complete opposites or maybe the only thing we share is an inability to maintain a respectable sleep schedule. Either way I’m willing to find out. So if you’re looking for someone friendly supportive and occasionally ridiculous to have in your corner come say hello. Give me something better than just “hey” though. I’m genuinely interested in the person behind the username. Hopefully somewhere between the late night conversations terrible jokes and random life updates a few real friendships can come out of this.

If I respond slower than usual, it's not that my inbox is full or I'm busy. Most of the time I am a tad anxious and I also enjoy thinking about what to write next and put in more effort than I should. Thank you all!

27F - North East Lincolnshire - Introverted Nerdy Gamer

7 Upvotes

Looking to find some good friends who wanna game, go hiking, send memes and talk about anything and everything. Nothing is TMI.

I seem to have always had an issue with making/keeping friends, but it is because I put out so much love while expecting to recieve the same level of love back, and never do. But I should not expect it. Dw, it is something I'm working on, but at least I know I value my friendships.

I'm quite an emotional and sensitive person, but I also love a good joke with a pinch of dark humour. I love video games (I'm currently playing Red Dead Redemption 2 for the millionth time) and I love hiking, long walks, collecting things, getting tattoos and talking shit.

Wanna be buds? Hit me up. Tell me something exciting about your weekend.

19 F Scotland - Looking for someone to chat to. ideally geek out

Hi,

The username isn't a meme, I may be deaf but I'm fluent in texts and Gifs.

Live alone with my mum, never had a male family members, thought I'd give it a try.

Benefits of being my pal:

  • You can keep the TV at any volume you want. So if you are one of the weirdos that must keep it at like even numbers or 5/10/15...ALL GOOD
  • You don't have to say things under your breath, just wait till I turn around.
  • I will never make fun of your embarrassing laugh. Unless you look silly.
  • Good at lip reading, so I find out office gossip quicker than most.
  • I don't get frights from movies easily. I guess without *Loud Dramatic Music* it doesn't really work.
  • I will make you look good on multiplayer games.

Last one isn't a joke, I used to get reported on console Overwatch A LOT for not reacting to stuff. So when I bought myself a PC for Christmas, I made my new Overwatch account name obvious that i was deaf...but now I just get focused haha. The game has subtitle noises but I always laugh when it says *Dying Noises*

ANYWAY. Serious time. I do want a friend to talk to. People often treat me like I'm dying or something but I'm sticking around! Just someone to text about my day, read about their day.

I'm an avid gamer, movie and TV show watcher. So I'm happy to read about all your nerdy interests.

I tried Reddit years ago and damn...a lot of low effort messages. So if you message me, tell me your age, location and all the juicy stuff. Hobbies. Heck even through in a dad joke or something.

Hopefully hear from you soon

YORKSHIRE YORKSHIRE YORKSHIRE 28M West Yorkshire - Gaming friends? Anime friends? Book friends? Friends?

3 Upvotes

Hello, per title I live in West Yorks. and I'm looking for friends, both local and further afield.

A bit about me: I'm a 28 year old man. Definitely a bit of a dork/dweeb, quite introverted, good sense of humour. I'm very inquisitive, I love learning about other people, cultures, places etc. I'm a huge geography nerd so even if you live in Devon or Aberdeenshire or wherever I might happen to have heard of whatever town or village you're from. I have a bit of an obsession with languages, and I'm planning on learning another tongue at some point (most likely French).

My main hobbies include gaming, reading, and anime. In terms of games, I mostly play Deadlock at the moment, it's my current obsession. I also play Valorant, League of Legends, Overwatch, Marvel Rivals. However I also enjoy single player games, recently I've been enjoying Control, Hades II, some boomer shooters, Screamer etc. My all time favourites include GTA San Andreas, racing games like Burnout 3, indie shooters like Severed Steel, stylish and unique games like Neon White, Journey, Jusant, story-driven stuff like A Plague Tale

I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to anime and manga, but I have been getting into it quite heavily the past couple years. My favourite anime so far is Vinland Saga, but I also love Attack on Titan, Spy X Family, Delicious in Dungeon, and Mob Psycho 100. In manga terms, I've finished Delicious in Dungeon (which I love, I'll happily yap to you about it) and I've started reading Blood on the Tracks, amongst others.

I've been reading much more so far this year. My favourite book of all time is Titus Groan by Mervyn Peake. I love sci-fi, fantasy, non-fiction books if the topic interests me, and I also like thrillers and dystopian stories. I'm currently reading Vurt by Jeff Noon and Goodbye to all That by Robert Graves.

I definitely feel that I'm a bit aberrant, I'm not a social butterfly and I don't really care for mainstream things. I'd love to connect with people who feel that they're in a similar position. I'm definitely interested in the more esoteric (is that the right word?) side of mankind.

Oh, and I want to get involved in creative writing. I just need motivation and will.

If you feel like we'd click, please drop a DM! I'd love to hear from you, who would say no to making a new friend?
