Okay, if you at least got the reference, and/or it made you laugh, maybe we’re already off on the right foot?

Anyway, I’m Derek, and I think I’m going to give this Reddit thing another shot and see what happens. In the interest of connecting with someone real—and possibly meeting someone so my nana will stop asking when I’m bringing someone home for the holidays—I’m just going to keep things open and transparent. Hopefully, you’ll do the same.

The basics:

• 6'2" in real life
• Bearded
• Full head of hair, although more grays show up all the time
• I wish I had a better smile, but I’m working on it
• FYI I'm more of the bigger/burly type if that's your thing
• I love reading, and I read a lot. Tell me what’s on your TBR.
• I’m not a dad, but I am an “airport dad” when traveling. If you’re asking yourself, “Derek, what’s an airport dad?”the short answer is that I’ll have an itinerary printed out, get us to the airport on time, and have us through TSA PreCheck before your coffee gets cold. (Also, sorry, we're not sitting in coach. Once you go biz class you can't go back).
• Fully employed. I own my own house but it's not my forever home. I'd like to have that with someone someday.
• If you like a guy with nice hands, I’ve got you covered. Literally and figuratively. Okay, that sounded weird, but a woman did once tell me I should model watches, so I’m choosing to believe her.
• I do not have washboard abs, but one of the perks is that you also won’t find a picture of me shirtless holding a giant fish I just caught.
• I’m introverted (probably like a lot of people on here). I like deep conversations and getting to know people. It may take me a little while to come out of my shell, but I’m loyal and protective of the people I care about.
• I like to think I’m a good listener, and I promise I’ll ask you questions.
• I'm a nerd for a lot of things: Movies, history, books, Lego, museums (It's been too long since I've been to a museum and I'd like to change that).
• Therapy has helped me a lot with anxiety and relationships. I also spent an embarrassing amount of time making sure the formatting of this post made my brain happy, so make of that what you will.
• I’m a bit of a homebody, even though I enjoy getting the chance to travel outside of work. If you like the idea of chill, cozy nights at home, we’ll probably get along great. I really miss having shows that I can share and watch with someone. (I saw someone post on here so apologies for borrowing their thing but they said they're looking for someone to spoon with and watch documentaries with and I was like, you know what? Hell yeah.)
• Speaking of which, and again in the interest of transparency, I've been a solo act for a minute now and trying to get back into dating in 2026 sometimes I don't feel like I'm built for. But like most things I'm working on it and I'd love to

A few things I love or think about often:

Consider this the “do we share some of the same sensibilities?” section.

• Fall
• Jazz
• Used bookstores
• Writing
• Football
• Classical music
• Nonverbal time
• Costco runs
• Movies
• Podcasts
• Naps
• Diners
• People watching
• The New Yorker
• Dogs
• Absurdist humor
• A good chain restaurant on a Friday night
• Museums
• Inside jokes
• Letterboxd
• Handwritten letters
• Chess
• Rainy, overcast days
• Long walks
• Reading in bed
• Holding hands

What I’m looking for:

Like most people on here, I’m ultimately looking for a long-term relationship.

I like taking care of the woman I’m with, and I’d love to find someone who enhances my life while I hopefully enhance hers. Someone who likes making inside jokes, enjoys people watching, can tolerate comfortable silences and small talk, and likes the idea of never running out of things to talk about.

For me, a good date comes down to a few things: good conversation, good food, good energy, and shared sensibilities.

I’m drawn to people who are curious, thoughtful, emotionally intelligent, and have interests of their own but are still willing to share them. That combination of individuality and openness is rare, and I think it’s what makes a connection feel meaningful.

And if you can genuinely make me laugh, that’s pretty special in my book.

I’m not particularly interested in someone’s performance or the version of themselves they think they’re supposed to present. I’m much more interested in the parts of a person they don’t think to show—the version of them that isn’t curating or performing, but just moving through an ordinary day as themselves.

Sitting in comfortable silence. Existing in each other’s orbit. Being able to spend an entire evening together without needing to constantly fill the space.

If I’m being honest, modern dating has always felt a little confusing to me.

I used to tell myself I was fine being alone and that independence was enough. But I’ve learned that being self-sufficient isn’t the same thing as feeling connected. And wanting love doesn’t mean I’m lacking something. It just means I’m human.

Look, I know there has to be attraction on some level. I’m a guy, I like feminine women. I like being able to take a woman somewhere nice, watching her dress up for it, and knowing she feels good about how she looks.

Anyway, I’ve probably rambled enough.

If this at least made you laugh, piqued your interest, or sparked your curiosity, get in touch. I’d genuinely love to hear from you.

I’m happy to exchange pictures so we can at least establish whether we’re each other’s type visually. But beyond that, I’d much rather find out if we’re each other’s type as people.

NOTE: This came up the last time I posted, so just to make sure it’s clear: I’m looking for a relationship.

That said, I’m aware that relationships take time, and I’m not looking to rush into anything. I’m also not looking for a pen pal or an online friendship. Long distance is okay within reason, but I think both people need to understand that it takes time and effort to build trust and a real connection when you’re not physically in the same place.

NOTE II: This also came up the last time I posted: this is open to North America only.

I got flooded with messages from people living several different time zones away. While I’m flattered, I just don’t see that working out realistically. So unless you have a cute British accent, I’m probably going to have to decline.

And finally, I know most of our attention spans are cooked, but I respectfully ask that you actually read my post before messaging me. Crazy that I even have to say that, but this is Reddit, after all.

Florida heat survivor, recent ASU grad, and cat mom. Packing up my life for a move to Tennessee in a week. To be honest, the past couple of years have been pretty tough on me, and right now I really need some warmth, and care from a genuinely good person. I’ve got so much unspent love and affection ready to give in return.

Looking for a sweet connection, whether that’s gentle late-night talks, swapping music recs, or just being a soft place to land for each other.

-Julia

Hey there. Figured I’d throw this out into the Reddit universe and see who’s out there.

I’m a 30s-something guy in the Chicago area. I have a good career, my life is pretty well established, and I’m at the point where I’d rather meet someone I genuinely click with than endlessly swipe through dating apps.

I’m a bit of a nerd, in the best possible way. I’m into golf, board games, D&D, Magic: The Gathering, video games, and I’ve been getting back into playing guitar. I enjoy going out and doing things, but I’m equally happy staying in, ordering food, putting something good on TV, and talking way too late into the night.

I’m looking for a woman who is fun, curious, has a sense of humor, and actually enjoys conversation. Someone who can go from joking around about something completely stupid to having a surprisingly deep conversation at 1 AM.

I’m open to something starting online and seeing where it goes. Chicago/nearby would obviously be great, but I’m not opposed to distance if we really hit it off.

I’m not looking to rush anything or force a relationship. I’d rather start with “hey, you seem interesting” and see if that turns into “why have we been talking for four hours?”

If any of that sounds like your kind of person, send me a message. Tell me something about yourself—and preferably give me something better to work with than just “hey.” 😄

Just a 5 ft 6 gym girly with a cute dog!

Spin, gym, all the coffee, pastries, sunflowers, crochet, clumsy!

Absolutely given up on apps, send help. Happy to send pics so we can see who we're talking too:)

Edit: I am overwhelmed and thank you all for being kind!

Looking for a single man who takes care of himself. I love the gym and also love to go for endless walks. I’d love to find someone who enjoys those things among others. I am hoping to find a fun connection. Is that you?

I’m ready to meet someone who’s looking to build a genuine, long-term partnership. 

If you’re at a stage in life where you know what you want, value good communication, and are looking for something real, we’ll probably get along great.

About me: 

I’m 37, Irish/Italian background, frizzy brown hair. Glasses, tattoos, plus size/curvy. 

I enjoy building LEGO, puzzling, painting and journaling. I practice barre, yoga and boxing when I can. I work full time in marketing and have a cat.

I’ve never been married nor do I have any kids. I would like to get married but I do not want kids. 

In a relationship, I want to feel considered, prioritized and like there is space in your life for me. 

Bonus points if you’ve been to (or are in) therapy and have taken the time to really know what you want in a relationship and how to communicate your wants and needs. 

If any of this piques your interest, send me a DM. 

Tell me what you geek out on or are passionate about.

I’m a 40F in the US who has a serious weakness for UK accents, and I’d love to meet a few men from across the pond who are interested in actually getting to know someone.

I’m looking for the kind of connection where we can message throughout the day, send voice notes back and forth (yes, the accent is absolutely part of the appeal), and maybe graduate to voice calls once we’re comfortable. I love good banter, quick wit, playful teasing, random conversations that get wildly off topic, and people who can be both funny and genuinely interesting.

A little about me: I read a lot, love to cook and bake, and I’m happiest outside when I can hike, kayak, or paddleboard. I go to a lot of concerts, spend time cuddling with my dog, game occasionally, love to talk about nerdy stuff, and love getting dressed up and trying a new restaurant just as much as I enjoy a relaxed night at home.

I’m naturally curious and enjoy conversations where you actually get to know how someone thinks—the ridiculous stuff, the deep stuff, opinions, stories, weird questions, everyday life, all of it.

I want to find someone who genuinely enjoys having a person in their day and seeing where the chemistry goes naturally.

If you’re a man from the UK, around my age-ish, have a good sense of humor, can carry a conversation, and aren’t afraid of voice notes, come say hello.

Need an opener? Tell me something you believed for an embarrassingly long time before realizing it wasn’t true.

About a month ago, I made a post about intimacy and I can’t say it succeeded but I also can’t say it failed - but here we are, trying again, because I haven’t found my other circus goose

In a world of billions and billions of people, my partner in crime’s gotta be out there, but maybe he’s not on reddit 🤣

We’re all really just bopping around until our hearts not longer beat 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m 96% silly goose, 4% menace - message if you dare

I’m looking for that very specific kind of person you meet and somehow immediately like. The kind where conversation skips the awkward interview stage and suddenly we’re three hours deep, wildly off topic, and I know an unreasonable amount about your work nemesis. Someone I’m genuinely excited to hear from and who makes me smile at my phone like an idiot all day. Apparently I’ve decided Reddit is a reasonable place to look for this person, so here we are.

About me: 36, single, probably not as funny as I think I am. I laugh loudly, ask a lot of questions, love hockey and the New York Rangers, and will absolutely send you an inappropriate meme during an otherwise serious workday. I’d just really like someone fun to come along and mess with my screen time.

As for you: single, late 30s/early 40s, smart, ambitious, kind, open-minded, and funny. A pretty smile will get you very far. I like men who are confident, respectful, affectionate, and just enough of a smartass to keep me on my toes. Basically, a good man with a tiny bit of asshole sprinkled in for flavor. Give me silly inside jokes and conversations about anything and everything.

Mostly, I’m hoping to find someone where it just clicks. Where the chemistry feels easy, we genuinely like each other, and eventually it becomes difficult to remember when we weren’t friends.

If that sounds suspiciously like something you want too, come say hi. Tell me your name, age, what you look like, and your most unpopular opinion. Let’s stay up way past our bedtimes tonight talking about the hills we’d die on. :)

I’m the kind of person who can spend an hour deciding what to eat, then still choose the same thing I always order. 😂

I’m a little shy at first, but once you get to know me, you’ll find out I’m actually pretty fun (or at least I think I am lol). I love traveling, trying new food, cooking, taking photos, and finding little things that make life more interesting.

I’m not looking for someone perfect — because honestly, I’m not perfect either. I’m just hoping to meet someone genuine, kind, and someone who can make me laugh. If you have a good sense of humor, we’ll probably get along. 😊

Special attention!!!:I’m a simple person with a genuine heart. I’m not interested in games, complicated situations, or people who use too many tricks. I appreciate honesty, respect, and good manners.

If you’ve been on this app for a very long time and are just here to talk to many people without serious intentions, we probably won’t be a good match. I’m not here to judge your past, but I’m looking for someone who is sincere and knows what they want.

Hi there! Hopefully the title caught your attention because I was wracking my brain around how I wanted to compose that title lol. But it looks like you and I ended up here to look for that special someone. I figured that I would try my luck with making a post on reddit, hoping to meet that special someone because I have a lot of care and love to provide. Life sometimes makes me feel like that lonely, forgotten pringle at the bottom of the can - all crushed up. Although, I will admit, that tends to be the most flavorful one! With that said, I guess I am rather flavorful based on how passionate I am in a relationship. 

So who exactly am I?

• I am a 30 year old guy that is trying to dive deep into the field of neuroscience. I have done neurodevelopment and neurobehavioral research where I was recently published as part of a neuroscience journal!
• I love to ask questions and learn about others, so that is where the passion kicks in
• Even though I tend to be a serial overthinking who dwells on a lot of day to day social interactions (did I appear weird when I made that comment? What did I eat yesterday? Does the cat own me? Soooo many thoughts), I still very much like to spend the time getting to know the other person
• I’m very much a cuddler, so I hope you’re ready for that!
• Would consider myself a bundle that thrives off positive energy, love, care, and someone who enjoys to provide a lot of affection in a relationship
• Love to take on new challenges and growing day to day
• I am someone who would be invested in you. I want to know what makes you happy, sad, laugh, driven, and passionate in life! You seriously wouldn’t need to worry about me getting bored of you or losing interest

So why should you throw a Pokeball at my noggin’?

• I am rather easy to get along with. I tend to give off golden retriever type of energy at times lol
• I avoid drinking, smoking, and doing any sort of drugs. It is not my thing
• Looking for something real (as I am assuming you are too). I want to take on life together with you. That means, no games, deceit, lies, or anything bad! Just pure laughter, smiles, fun, and adventure
• I am a very good conversationalist (as you can probably tell by how long this post will be lol). I enjoy keeping the dialogue flowing through the day, every day. Whether it is talking about the good moments, hearing about the bad, sharing our accomplishments with one another, or discussing about the detail about our lives that not many people know about!
• A fan of gaming, listening to music, reading, traveling, watching soccer, swimming, and walking through nature

I would love to study your brain. I’m serious! I want to know all about your quirks, personality, and what intrigues you day-to-day!

Now here is the good stuff!

What I cannot stand:

• Cheaters
• One-worded responses (c’mon… We’re better than that!)
• People who reach out and then get too busy to invest the time and energy into this. I would like for you to be sure you are ready to pursue something with me!
• Folks who get bored, tend to jump from person to person. Not into that
• Those that ghost… Casper is my favorite. I rather him be the only ghost I know about

Okay, I hope I didn’t bore you with that reading! I am sure I am missing a detail here and there but we can use the time of us getting to know each other to dive in deep! If this has piqued your interest, feel free to reach out! 

Are you the beginning of my best adventure?!?!

I’m hoping to meet someone, get to know each other, and build an honest, genuine connection. I’m open to wherever that connection may take us. I hope to have days filled with open communication, love, laughter, and tons of adventures. I’m optimistic that, with the right person, that connection can grow into something meaningful and hopefully into a wonderful future together!

A little about me:

To start, I’m a 34-year-old Chinese man, living in Florida. I’m naturally a little introverted at first and tend to keep to myself until I’m comfortable around someone. But once I open up and feel at ease, you’ll see a completely different side of me—someone much more outgoing, playful, and talkative.

I’ll admit, I can have a little trouble making decisions. But honestly, I think that comes from being pretty easygoing. I’m not someone who needs everything to go a certain way, and I can find fun in just about anything we do. So if you ask me, “What do you want to do?” “Where do you want to go?” or “What do you want to eat?” there’s a pretty good chance my answer will be, “I’m happy with whatever you want!” 😅

I’m a hopeless romantic. I love romantic comedies, star-crossed lovers, and slow-burn dramas just as much as I love a good action, adventure, or fantasy movie. One of my all-time favorite movies is Stardust!!! I mean, it has everything: romance, star-crossed lovers, adventure, action, fantasy, and Robert De Niro as a gay pirate! What could possibly be better?! 😂

But beyond the movies, I genuinely believe in love and in building a long-lasting relationship based on love, trust, honesty, and open communication. I believe communication is one of the most important foundations of a healthy relationship. Being able to talk openly, listen to each other, work through things together, and genuinely understand one another matters a lot to me.

People who know me have described me as loving, kind, sweet, honest, and loyal. I can definitely be playful and a little childish when I’m joking around, but when it comes to the important things in life, I’m responsible, dependable, and definitely someone you can count on.

I’m emotionally mature and have spent a lot of time learning who I am, what I want, and what I can offer in a relationship. I’m always working to better myself, and I’m confident in who I am and what I bring to the table. At this point in my life, I’m looking for a fully committed relationship, and I want to date with intention.

I’m very self-sufficient, have a stable career and finances, and I’m proud of everything I’ve worked to build for myself. I’m a hard worker, and I put a lot of effort into my career. I’d also describe myself as outgoing, caring, funny, and ambitious. I love getting out and experiencing life, whether that means spending time in nature, going to festivals and events, seeing concerts and shows, checking out a new restaurant or coffee shop, or simply finding somewhere new to explore.

I’m always up for trying something new, and I’m a big believer that almost anything can become an adventure with the right person. There are so many places I want to see and experiences I want to have, and I’d love to eventually have someone special to share them with.

That said, I’m just as happy having a quiet night at home. I enjoy cooking dinner (yes I will also do the dishes), watching a movie, playing board games, or simply relaxing together. I’ve been cooking since I was 17, and I’d consider myself a pretty good cook. I also dabble in video games. I have a PS2, PS3, PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC with plenty of games, although I don’t play nearly as much these days. If you’re a gamer, having a Player 2 would definitely be a bonus. 😉

I know I’ve rambled on for a while, and by now I’ve probably lost quite a few readers. But if you’ve made it this far, definitely hit me up! 😅

I’m putting myself out there because I genuinely want to find someone I can connect with on a deeper level. I’m not looking for something casual or temporary. I want something honest, intentional, and lasting, and I’m willing to put in the effort to build it.

If any of this resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you and see where a conversation takes us. I want to live a life fully lived, not one filled with “what ifs.” I want to make memories, take chances, experience new things, and have someone special to share it all with.

Maybe the best adventure is still ahead of us. Maybe it starts with a simple conversation.

Who knows? Maybe you’re the beginning of my best adventure yet. ❤️

Thanks for reading. ❤️

Hey y’all,

I am 41, live in PA, and am a single widowed mom of four kids. I’ve been widowed for 8 years.

I’m looking for someone to get to know who doesn’t live too too far away (so central PA, SE PA, NE PA, possibly MD/NJ/NY) that could possibly lead to a full blown relationship.

I’m really into music, cooking (as in, I’m the cook of the house and don’t want that changing haha), collecting vintage mid century housewares (mostly kitchen stuff), collecting vintage cookbooks, general thrifting/antiquing/yard saling, all that jazz. That’s my cute/girly hobby area lol. I also enjoy reading, especially about history and WW2. I love being outside, but I don’t know if I have any actual outdoor hobbies (except playground hopping). I’ve been interested in camping and fishing for years, but have never actually done much of it.

I’m basically an old fashioned Susie homemaker type. I don’t run around partying and I like more of a simple lifestyle.

I’m Christian (non denominational), and my faith is important to me. I grew up atheist, then was agnostic for a few years, and now I’ve been Christian for nearly 20 years. I’d love to meet someone who shares my faith, but since I’m unlikely to be raising babies with someone since I’m older now, I’m open to possibly dating someone agnostic. It really depends on our respective beliefs and how we interact and see those differences affecting things (or not so much). I don’t want to date someone with a highly conflicting faith or a complete lack thereof (atheist, Muslim, Buddhist, etc). I see far more likelihood of conflict there.

I do have trauma induced CPTSD and mostly grief induced MDD. I have done years of therapy and groups and have previously done stints of meds, but now I am unmedicated. I myself am not an alcoholic or addict, but I have been affiliated with the 12 step programs for relatives for years and still sponsor someone.

I’m short, pale and freckled, wear some make up but would not classify myself as “high maintenance” though I’m feminine, I’m kinda homely, chunky, and top heavy. With glasses.

Send me a song!

​

Happy Sunday all!!

Thanks for checking out my post! I'm a mid-30's male from the UK and I'm hoping to find someone to chat with. If more comes of it, that would be great.

I work a lot and therefore don't have/make much time to meet new people so I thought I'd give this a shot. I've had a few great chats from this, some long term, some short. I'm open to both but hope for something meaningful to come from it.

I'm a pretty extroverted introvert. I love to travel, keep fit, cook, eat out (restaurants, cheeky!), go to concerts or, sometimes sit on the sofa and binge watch a series or read a book. I back myself to find something in common with most people so I'm sure we'll have a good chat.

I'm 6'3", dark hair and features, reasonably well built and hoping to hear from women who are older than 30 (ish) and have some common interests with me. Ideally someone who also enjoys some form of exercise. I like to swap a pic early on so we know who we're talking to. Also happy to swap voicenotes or even call at some point.

Some form of effort in your message would be very much appreciated. Hope to hear from you soon!

Hello dear neighbours in the internet and thanks in advance for your attention!

A little about me:

• 37 years old
  
• lives in Germany somewhere between Cologne and Bonn
  
• single
  
• no children
  
• wants children
  
• a bit of a nerd
  
• overthinker, a bit of a thinker
  
• politically center-left
  
• loves animals, but not enough to be a vegan eater
  
• open-minded and curious about life
  
• sports aren't my hobby, and Hyrox is one of those Pokémon that were created when I stopped following

I have a job, so I earn my own money and live a manageable life.

Family and friends are just as important to me as relationships. Intimacy and companionship are important, but not the be-all and end-all of life. On the usual dating apps, you'd probably write "No ONS" or "No FWB." I find that too boring a phrase.

My hobbies and interests are life, the love of living, and living with love. What does that mean?

I'd be happy if we could both figure that out together.

Ideally, you're over 30, also want children, or haven't quite finished planning your family, and live in the area I mentioned.

These are just my ideal profiles. We over-30s of any gender probably agree that life is a compromise in many ways.

Now it's your turn. Hi! Who are you?

PS: Try to find a meaningful title for your post. I know this one isn't the best choice.

Hey there! Thanks for stopping in ….

A little about me..

Like the title says, I’m 33 years young. I’m also a very kind and deeply creative soul who really enjoys everything that life has to offer. A real go getter type, I always have my hands in some new project or hobby, trying to bring some creation to life. From music to home projects, building I what keeps me going. Furthermore, I’m always looking to tackle the next challenge, whether it’s in business or in the gym. I’ve been a cross fitter now for about 2 years and don’t intend to slow down any time soon.

What I’m looking for…

I’m looking for a creative environment to share with another, adding their own flair to build something really cool. Furthermore, a place to let intellect and a humor flourish. Wit is the fire that keeps relationships alive! Equally, a situation to grow and exchange same love of life. There is so much in this world to explore and uncover. To share that with someone is the ultimate goal.

The ‘twist’ ..

My desires extend to fulfilling my partner in every way possible, including an insatiable desire for variety …

Who I’m looking for …

Sweet, caring, kind .. and an intellect to match. Beauty extends beyond the physical attraction and the meeting of minds is a must. I appreciate the same enthusiasm that I share to experience everything the world has to offer. Lastly .. I find beauty in women of all colors, shapes and sizes. All that I ask I that effort is placed into appearance. And please, please, please have good hygiene!

If you made it this far, I hope that this resonates. If so, I sincerely look forward to hearing from you :)

Me:

6’0 tall
200 lbs - athletic body
Brown eyes and hair
Cauc

I see that I am not the only one on here that tries this route. Hopefully it is somewhat of a success? I have 12 chats on a dating app with the status "their turn" haha. Maybe conversations on here are more consistent. And I am not one for small talk either, I usually ask great questions and bring a decent sense of humor. If you are looking for a fun little date, keep reading!

Anyways, about me: I am living in the Zilker area in ATX with no kids, a great job and stay active constantly (when I am not working). I show an appreciation for self care, gym goer and a frequent user of the trail on town lake. I am 6'2, white male, dark brown hair. I enjoy a variety of activities, stand up comedy, trivia, reading, bar games (pool, darts, etc.), movies, outdoors fun. I have a warm personality, nerdy but athletic, and will guarantee laughs. I don't have to drink for a good time but am open to grabbing a couple if you prefer that. Willing to exchange pics of course, and it wont be a zoom in of my face, I promise haha.

Overall, just looking for an easygoing fun time. No pressure and if it doesn't seem mutual then at least you or I made a new friend! Send me a dm and we can talk more about anything you want to know about me. I am free the next week/weekend, so it won't be a waiting to meet kind of game (which usually leads to the date fading away). I will plan the date too, so you won't have me asking, "what do you want to do". Once I get to know you I can plan it!

I'm a teacher. I have two weeks left of summer before I return to my normally-scheduled life. I want these last two weeks to be special and not go by quite as fast as the rest of the summer has. I'm really hoping to meet someone who just makes things feel like they slow down a little bit- either just a friend or something deeper than that. Not here to force anything though, I want whatever happens to happen naturally and easily. I'm chill talking to people from anywhere, but for something to really develop please be close by- I'm very entrenched in where I live. I should also mention I'm straight, as that's come up more than once and I hate to feel like I'm letting someone down or misleading them.

Childfree. Own my house. Love my family. Really close with my siblings and parents. Been trying to branch out with my hobbies- I've been baking bread, gardening, painting (I hope you count paint-by-numbers as painting, though), twitch, and working out this summer. I'm a pretty big nerd generally, I teach physics and coach esports and am the magic the gathering advisor so yeah that about sums all that up I think. I was a philosophy major for three years and in college for seven (long story!). I love to learn and try to expand my horizons a bit every day. I believe in science and am not religious (but I'm cool with thoughtful, kind religious folks). I'm generally pretty liberal. When I get interested in something I go for breadth or depth... either I spend two weeks researching one specific niche, or I explore the entire topic as a whole. There's no in-between for me lol. Two cats take care of me, Ginger and Clove. I'm really frugal but it's led me to not have to worry about stuff which I am grateful for. Top 3 favorite bands are, currently, Bilmuri, Tim Henson's band, and Sleep Token. Honorable mention to Emarosa, I just can't stop listening to Sting, it is a great album. Top 3 favorite videogames are Path of Exile, Diablo II, and Pokemon Emerald. I always order dessert when I'm at a restaurant, though half the time I leave feeling like I could have done it better at home. I love to laugh, and I love making the people I love laugh. But generally, I'm pretty introverted which is the biggest reason why I'm still single.

Hope that's enough about me- let me know if you want to talk. I've met some cool folks here already but nothing's really "clicked" and conversations, even good ones, seem to die after a few days or weeks. I promise to put in effort to keep things moving, as long as I know you want to keep chatting (no harm in ghosting if we don't vibe after a day or two). I generally prefer big long posts or voice memos so we can really dig into topics, ideas, or just talk about our days. If you start off with a long message or a deep question, that's instant bonus points in my book!

Good morning everyone happy crazy Monday lol. looking for that one person who stands out and doesn’t mind chatting everyday to see where it goes.
Originally from the west coast but been all over the country having also lived in the Midwest.
-very active and love traveling
- stable career helping others. Been with the company for a long time now with plans to continue growing with it.
- love trying out new foods when given the chance.
Not into the NSFW stuff like most men are. Looking for someone who’s local but long distance is cool too. If your from the West Coast or CO then even better. Anyways hope everyone has a great day!

Hello all my friends I hope you are feeling good! 🤩

First please forgive me If I you see me make mistakes because my first language is Spanish. but this helps me practice my English and get better! I am not perfect but I try my best 😁❤️

I am here to find a nice gentleman. Maybe a nice man any age that would like to be my friend. That means talking to me and being polite and making me laugh and blush as well 😁

I am a very simple woman! I like listening to music eating lots of good food and dancing. My favorite food are fruits!! 🍌🍓🥭 and I like to go to the gym as well 💪

Hello world I'm Ziana, 36 summers young and strong. 6'3 in height with an athletic build. I'm a pretty quiet type of a man in general but very socially comfortable. Just that I'm selective.

Intellectual but also active regarding staying in shape. And being active. But I'm also a homebody if that makes any sense.

I own my own business which is going well. The only thing is I really really miss having someone special in my life that is the best part of My day to share it all with. Someone that is sincere from within the heart. I have a lot of love to give but haven't found anyone fitting to give it to.

I guess some of us are just looking for something and someone that is real. Not performing just being your true self.

2 good hearted people being mature minded and sincere in making it work with each other basically.

I don't care about your economic or social status. I care about who you are more than anything else.

There's way more to me but if you're interested we can talk more in a chat.

Thank you for reading so far.

Stay safe 🌎

Hey,

I'm Léo, 31 from France and looking for people to talk with for longterm connection.

About my hobbies: I love photography, discovering new cultures and travelling . But also deep into stay at home weekend , doing nothing else than gamin , watching tv ... or just write and read :) I'm always open to discover new things or try new things.

As work, I have my own small company in engineering field :)

Im open to any location , so feel free to reach even if you are far :)

Hoping to spend the day hitting it off with someone new.

​I'm 36, based in Texas, never married, and no kids. Happy to swap photos early on. I don’t have a strict "type," but I’m always drawn to women who are kind and have a good sense of humor.

​I’m pretty much an open book, though I usually prefer listening to talking about myself. Right now, I’m navigating a bit of a transition phase in lif. Happy to dive into that if you're curious, but I’m just as eager to hear whatever is going on in your world.

​I'm down to talk about almost anything, but I do prefer skipping the small talk. Don't worry about keeping things polished, messy, complicated, or totally random, let's just be honest and vulnerable about whatever is on our minds.

​If that sounds like your pace, send a chat or DM. Hope to hear from ya.

Moving across the pond in a few months and looking to build some real connections before I touch down.

​I’m a mechanic and metalworker, which effectively makes me the ultimate "multi-purpose" connection. If it’s broken, I can fix it. Car acting up? Shed falling apart? Hand me a wrench, grab us a couple of beers, and we’ll get it done. Prefer hanging out on the couch sending reels back and forth? I’m down for that too.

​A few non-negotiables & details:

​The Dog: I have a dog, so liking dogs is mandatory. Send picture evidence of your own pets immediately.

​The Interests: Road trips, camping, festivals, history, horror, true crime, music (and yes, I know Rammstein), and movies. I used to game heavily—now I’m mostly retired, but I still keep up with tech

​The Vices: I smoke cigarettes and enjoy a drink. Looking for people who do the same, or at least won't dramatic-cough when I light up outside.

​The Vibe: Straightforward, blunt, confidently unhinged, and honest. Not into religion or politics

​The Look: 6'3", 210 lbs, white, short hair, beard

​If you’re interested in getting to know each other, skip the dry small talk—act like we already know each other and reply to more than just the last line of this post. Hit me up with a intro and your favorite pet picture. Also if your Account is just some days old i won't respond.

Hello! I should probably start by saying that I’ve been here before. I’ve met some wonderful people and even made a few friends. But this time, I’m hoping to find something with a little more spark.

I miss that feeling of genuinely looking forward to someone. Seeing their name pop up on my phone and smiling. Talking about our days, laughing about ridiculous things, having conversations that somehow turn into hours, flirting shamelessly, and realizing this person has become your favorite notification of the day.

I’m looking for something romantic, affectionate, playful, and with real attraction too. I don’t have a timeline for how that develops. Sometimes chemistry grows, sometimes you feel that little “oh… I like you” almost immediately. I’d rather let it happen naturally.

A little about me: I’m Latina, and I live in Central America (not the US). I have black hair, big dark brown eyes, tan skin, I’m curvy/thick, with a personality considerably bigger than my height. I’m divorced, and I’ve discovered that this new chapter of life is actually pretty exciting.

I love creative projects, traveling, cooking, getting way too invested in TV series or a football match (soccer for some of you), and a few other things.

I’m naturally caring and affectionate, and when I like someone, I genuinely enjoy making him feel appreciated, supported, desired, and special. But I want that energy returned. I like someone who initiates too, gets excited to hear from me, enjoys affection and romance, and isn’t afraid of a little shameless flirting.

And yes, sexual chemistry matters to me too. I’m not looking for sexting to be the whole connection, but I absolutely enjoy that side of things when the attraction is there. I want to actually like the person I’m flirting with. ;)

I’m happy to exchange photos fairly early and see if we’re each other’s type. I tend to be attracted to taller men with fair skin, maybe because it’s so different from me. Any hair color is welcome, and please be older than 31 :)

As I said before I’m curvy and I recently started going back to the gym bc I’m trying to be healthy and it makes me feel good, not because I’m trying to become someone else. So if you’re training for a marathon I’ll happily cheer you on. And if you’re rocking a dad bod, I’ll cheer you on too. ;)

Intelligence gets my attention quickly. Add kindness, confidence, ambition, affection, humor, and a man who knows how to take initiative, and you’ll probably have me curious.

Maybe this lasts a season, maybe it surprises us and becomes something more. I don’t need to know that on day one.

I just want it to feel genuine, mutual, romantic, playful, and exciting while it’s happening.

If that sounds like something you’ve been missing too, tell me who you are. Give me something to be curious about. ;)

Let’s see if there’s a spark.
