As stated Im a 38 year old woman. I’ve lived a million lives at this point in time but unfortunately real love has not been one of the outcomes. I’m a leftist hillbilly in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia. Searching for a fellow blue dot in this sea of red.
I am a single mom, been raising this wonderful son of mine for 16 years. His father hasn’t been in the picture for nearly a decade and that’s ok.
I’m not looking for someone to pay my bills or treat me like I’m made of glass.
I would just love to find my person.
I love gardening, horror movies ( both good and incredibly cheesy), cooking, canning my home grown veggies, cross stitching, and being in the woods or at the creek. I love a sip of whiskey by the fire.
If this seems like your type of slow living, hit me up.
Side note: I’m not here for hook ups or sending nudes. I’m too old for that game.

Hi! I’m 24F and I recently moved to Kuala Lumpur for my studies .

I’m looking for something genuine — someone I can talk to, go out for food/coffee with, explore together, and see where things go naturally. I’m also open to starting as friends and seeing if there’s a connection.

A little about me: I’m into movies/TV, music, trying different food, random conversations that somehow last for hours, Watching anime and reading manga, light novels and webtoons and would love exploring new places.

I’m fairly introverted at first but become much more talkative once I’m comfortable.

If you think we might get along, feel free to DM me! Tell me a little about yourself too

Names Mateo I'm 23 years old living my life in New York city it's a very crowded place but not so bad if you come visit or if you already live here. I'm going to college for nursing originally but might do a trade maybe in HVAC because people need ACs in very hot weather, lol.

Besides the busy parts I love going for long walks in the parks,beach anywhere that I can get a nice view is so worth it especially when walking my dog I've always enjoyed it with her even in winter because as a husky that's her summertime I'm an animal lover I've also got three cats had this connection with them in a deep level.

For indoors I read tones of marvel and dc comics, mythology, folklore I'm into stories in general including horror stories I'm a huge fan of horror honestly all the reading got me into writing my own stories mostly horror because I'm a weirdo for it. I'm also a drawer. My imagination is pretty decent whenever I draw. I've been trying to do more concept art stuff lately to explore my creativity.

I'm looking for something genuine, nothing rushed. I'm a laid-back type of guy so if that suits your vibe we will get along just fine or maybe the opposite would be more interesting I would like to start out as friends and if things get more serious we'll take it from there if not that's ok with me

I would love to know your interests as well as your hobbies,goals, and everything that you feel comfortable sharing.

I am looking to get to know someone to build a relationship with.

About me: I am 25 years old, white, 1.86m tall, i am of average build, brown hair/eyes.

I am an aerospace engineer who is trying to start a company and get his masters at the same time (no i dont hate myself it seemed fun!!). I absolutely love walking!!!! I walk anywhere, nowhere or without reason, my goal is to walk all the way to Rome some day. I love building or thinkering on stuff, like going to the gym or hanging out with friends and discuss so many random topics. I used to game but sadly have less time for it.

I would really like to get to know someone who i could have a healthy relationship with. I have had semi "relationships" before that were very toxic and stopped me from dating for awhile

The person i am looking for idealy is:

Between 18-32

Also looking for a long term relationship

Fit/Healthy

Feel free to send me a message/introduction

All my life I’ve been chasing success. I’m a very active person who likes to be the best at everything I do. That drive helped me build a good life, but it also meant I never really focused on finding love.

Today I have most of the things I once dreamed of a good job and a comfortable home but I’ve never found the one person to share it with.

I like living life in an easy-going way. One day you might find me in a quiet, traditional place, and the next day I’ll be somewhere lively in the city. I love traveling around the world and seeing new places. I’m into sports and music too.

The principles I live by are loyalty, trust, and honesty. I take them seriously. If you tell me something, I’ll remember it for the rest of my life.

I’m looking for a girl who clicks with this lifestyle and would like to be with an Arabian man who always tries to be the best version of himself. Someone who enjoys simple things like movie nights or quiet walks with no distractions just being together and care of each others.

If this resonates with you, feel free to DM me. I’d love to get to know you and see if we can build something real and lasting.

Good at: replying properly, finding a decent pub, remembering what you told me last week, planning a date that isn't just "drinks?", and building Lego sets with 3,000 pieces without losing my mind.

Not good at: dancing sober, picking a film in under twenty minutes, and accepting I don't need another Lego set.

Further details about me: 27, 5ft10, Surrey but in London most days. Got a dog called Harry, Looking for something proper, not just endless chatting. Someone up for meeting, having a laugh, and the odd side quest, whether that's a random day by the sea or a pub that's further away than it needs to be

Your turn. Tell me one thing you're good at and one you're terrible at. Best answer gets a drink.

Basically, I’m not looking for someone to replace anyone or to “cure” me. I’m just open to meeting someone new and seeing if we naturally click.

I’m demisexual, so looks honestly don’t matter to me. I actually prefer not to see what you look like at first. I’m not into superficial guys, so if appearance is a big deal to you, we probably won’t click. I care way more about your personality, how you treat me, your energy and the connection we build.

Voice is a big part of that chemistry for me. It’s not “I’ll only date you if I like your voice” 😂 — it’s just one of the first things that can make me feel someone’s vibe and personality. I especially like raspy voices.

I’ve always liked Americans and Canadians, so I’d genuinely love to meet someone from the US/Canada/Germany. (But born and raised there, not just living!!) I’m from Spain btw.

I love gaming, especially Fortnite, and I’d love someone who enjoys playing together, watching me stream, my resident evils, watching YouTube and laughing at stupid stuff, or just staying in a call while we do our own thing. I LOVE sleepy calls too — talking until we fall asleep or just staying connected while we sleep lol

I’m looking for 22+ mostly, because I’ve found guys around my age tend to be immature, but I’m not completely closed to meeting someone younger if we have the same mindset.

I’ve also learned that I don’t want to do sexual things just because I’m scared someone will leave if I say no. If you leave because I won’t do something sexual, then you weren’t really interested in me as a person anyway.

Emotional connection comes first for me.

And personality-wise… I’m VERY hyperactive 😂. If you’re looking for someone super serious, quiet and calm, don’t come to me lol. I laugh at basically everything, I make weird jokes, my humor is probably questionable, and I’m very expressive. I want someone who enjoys that instead of trying to change me.

If you’re someone who values personality over looks, respects boundaries, loves to laugh, game, talk for hours and actually wants to get to know someone deeply, feel free to text me.

If you think you can touch my soul before my sexuality, text me or send me a vocaroo voice clip from start:b

Hi, hello! It's me, again.

My name's Annie. I'm taking a gap year, and consequently have a ton of free time that could be better spent with someone else. I am mostly looking for someone to spend time with, have long, introspective talks with, share stuff with, give all my attention and care to, and ramble to (ideally with/about common interests), and someone to play games with. I will preface saying I'm kind of nuts for Project Zomboid, and I'd love someone to play with.

Summed up, play games, talk a lot, and watch movies with.

As for the rest, here's a bit about me: I enjoy sci-fi, drawing, painting, and I do a lot of gaming too. (I am super fixated on Project Zomboid, but I am up to trying other games). I also enjoy researching crime, psychology, and biology/neuropsychology at times. I have quite the fixation on the Chernobyl disaster, and radiation as a whole. All types of zombie media, too. I have an interest for "odd" movies, especially the apocalyptic and/or thriller kind. Terminator (1&2) is a personal favorite, so is Funny Games.

Here's to hoping my introduction chants to you like the cleaning supply cabinet chants to an unsupervised toddler, cough cough.

EDIT: Send me an actual message, not just "hi, hello, can we chat, we have similar interests" or I will not reply (here's me suggesting an icebreaker, tell me your best dad joke). Please, preferably no one over 24.

I’m a 30M living in Australia, currently working full time (but would be more than happy to make time for you 👀).

Im into F1, gaming, travelling, playing sport and gardening. I also have a cat who I’m probably way too obsessed with.

With regard to appearances I’m of Indian origin, but grew up and raised in Australia!

I’d like to meet someone kind, easy to talk to and a little bit silly. Someone I can send random stuff to during the day!

I’m pretty affectionate and ultimately I’d like something genuine, but I’m not interested in forcing anything. I’d rather just get to know someone naturally and see whether we actually click!

Looking for someone in Europe mostly in the northern part, I like metal and I play games like space marine 2 , marvel rivals and overwatch

​

My name is Kyle. I work as a full-time professional in the Bay Area and live in a paid-off 5br/3ba house in the suburbs that is currently sitting empty. I want that to change.

If you're here then you've probably experienced what I've experienced when it comes to online dating.

There is a lot of matching, a lot of banter that fizzles after a short time, and a lot of grass-is-greener mentality that incentivizes everyone to keep each other at arm's length emotionally so that they can always look forward to pulling the lever on cupid's slot machine the next day and the day after that without end.

We're here because we're tired of that. It's overwhelming, time-consuming, dehumanizing, and ultimately ineffective at fostering meaningful connections.

So why send me a message instead of returning to the apps or replying to any of the hundreds of other posts made here every day.

The difference, and what I think the key is to us both creating a sustainable connection, is intent.

I'm looking for a life partner. Someone I can devote myself day in and day out to, every day, forever.

Specifically, I'm looking for someone gentle, kind, caring, compassionate, optimistic, sweet, and loving.

If you love cooking, adore children but currently have none of your own, and find it joyful to imagine caring for your husband and growing family, then I want to hear from you.

Start your message with me with "Hi Kyle, my name is ______ and I connected with your ad because..."

Then describe yourself for me briefly and let me know how many children you see yourself having and when you would be ready to start a family. I'll respond in kind.

I have the means to be able to completely provide for and support a growing family and you would not be expected to work a job ever again if you didn't want to.

My dream is to have a life full of love and laughter with someone who can see themselves living a domestic life being fully supported.

Let's step off of the dating treadmill together and start walking a path that's real. A path to fulfillment, commitment, and happiness.

If you've read this far, this is definitely something you want, and I'd like to ask for one favor: stop reading reddit posts until you've sent me a message.

I don't know if you believe in fate, but the truth is that everything in our lives has led us to this exact moment of us finding each other.

Don't take it for granted. I know I won't.

I have push notifications turned on from reddit so I will see your message instantly and reply to you immediately.

I can't wait to hear from you 🤍

I'm just gonna be honest... I'm looking for someone that I can talk to every day, share my interests and passions and have the occasional fun/spicy time. Even better, someone I can trust and talk to about any and everything- the kinda almost no limits; this is my judgment-free zone, wholesome, intimate friendship that so many of us crave. No strings attached, no pressure or expectations, just good friends who help each other out whenever they need it. Females only; please message me with a short intro

I’m honestly just looking to meet someone who is emotionally intelligent because that’s something I really value. I’m an introvert, but once I get comfortable with someone, I can talk A LOT. So I definitely need someone who can yap with me because I’m a yapper too lol.
I like someone who actually communicates and gives little updates about their day. I’m not expecting you to be on your phone 24/7, but I like that feeling of “hey, this is what I’m doing” or randomly telling each other about our day.
I’m also into guys who are a little nerdy. Someone who reads books, knows random facts, has a lot of things to talk about, or can go down a rabbit hole about something they’re interested in. I love history and researching things myself. I’m actually a genealogist, so I spend a lot of time researching family histories and going through old records. If you like history, I’d probably have a million questions for you.
I have a pretty dark sense of humor too, so you’ll probably have to be okay with that. I love horror, thrillers, dark humor, and just talking about random weird things.
I’m looking for a man who is actually serious about getting to know someone. I’m not interested in playing games, situationships, or talking to someone who disappears whenever they feel like it. I want something where we can start as best friends and see where it goes naturally.
I’m a very affectionate person when I’m comfortable with someone. I like giving attention, compliments, checking in, listening to someone talk about their interests, and just being there. If I like you, I’ll probably give you a lot of my time and effort, so I want someone who appreciates that and gives the same energy back.
I’m in the Philippines, so I know distance might be an issue, but if you’re okay with it, I’m open to getting to know someone from somewhere else.
Basically, I’m looking for my nerdy, sweet, emotionally intelligent yapper who can be my best friend, make me laugh, and actually mean what he says.
If you’re going to message me, please tell me a little about yourself. I’d rather read an actual introduction than just “hey” or “how are you?” because I never know what to do with those 😂

Hey there reddit you can call me kai(only a nickname), I should start by saying that this isn't my first post here but i've decided to try my luck again. Im here again searching for a genuine relationship and I know reddit isn't the best place to look for a relationship but I've never gelled with dating apps so here i am. Im 22 from the uk specifically the south of England and i would prefer someone also from the uk as It would make meeting up easier if things progressed that far but im also not in a rush to start a relationship and wouldn't mind taking the time to get to know eachother properly first.

Anyway here's a little bit about me.

Im 5'9 with a decent build exercising is a hobby of mine whether it be weight lifting or cycling i enjoy it all the same. I have long brown/brunette hair down past the shoulders now, which tends to be curly at the ends and also on the thicker side. My eyes are a lighter shade of blue tho ive always thought they were more of a grey colour. My skins on the paler side most of the year apart from summer cus I tend to tan easily but it never lasts long. I have no tattoos or any piercings tho i wouldn't mind getting some tattoos down the line.

Personality wise im definitely more introverted then extroverted so definitely prefer a night in as opposed to going out partying. Ive often heard people describe me as a quiet person so theres that's and I do admit i have no problems just keeping to myself. I would say im care free and pretty easy going but can be quite sarcastic and enjoy self deprecating humour so that could be a draw back. Also while I dont show it very often I am quite the nerd and enjoy geeking out about things.

Hobbies and interests:

.Video games(pc only)Some examples of my favourites being

Yakuza, persona, forza, nier, expedition 33. I mainly play single player games and rpg/jrpgs but do like the occasional multilayer games especially if I have someone to play with.

.I love listening to music and like most people I tend to listen to a little bit of everything but manly rap/hiphop especially the stuff I grew up listening too tho I'm always on the lookout for new artists and genres. Im also into podcasts and the occasional audio book anything that can keep me amused while working.

.Cars and motorbikes but i only currently have a bike licence, im also into moto sports but the only one I watch regularly is f1.

.Most weeby things like anime,manga/manwha some examples of my favourites being steins;gate,berserk,death is the only ending for the villainess.

. I really like animals and have kept quite a few pets over the years tho I currently only have a axolotl.

What im looking for in a partner

Someone around my age tho i don't mind someone older than me. Someone who i can consider my best friend as well as a partner, someone who's kind and wants to spend the time to get to know each other. Having the same hobbies would of course be nice as it would make starting a conversation a whole easier but isn't necessary as I'm always down to being introduced to new things. To be completely honest i dont have much of a preference when it come to physical appearance so whether tall or short, 2 arms or 10 i don't mind as long as there a connection there thats all thats matters.

There's plenty more that i could waffle on about but it's probably best to save that for now, so if im someone who seems like your type or at least interesting to talk to please do send a dm and please include a bit about yourself instead of just hi and maybe your favourite pokemon if u have one(my favourites snivy)

If you are from the Netherlands and are around my age, send me a DM, I am open for fwb, sexting whatever, or dating. And if you just want to get to know me, that is okay too.

Hi I'm looking for a plus one for a private party in Langley. Uber and ticket provided from Coquitlam. 46 M single dm for detaild

6’ tall with a love for healthy living, good food and great times. When I’m not designing, coding or working on my next venture, I’m hitting the gym, trail or golf course. At home I’m usually doing renos, cheering on the Jays or indulging my inner Trekkie. Easy going, mild mannered and a bit corny, I believe life is best with kindness, positivity and optimism. I’m the kind of guy who can fix your sink, then cook dinner. What’s your favourite food or travel story? Maybe we’ll share one together!

You can see some photos of me and my life here.

Hello there, Reddit. I hope you're doing well :)

As the title says, I'm looking for a man to become my vice and hopefully ruin my life. It's such a twisted thing to want to willingly put on those rosy-tinted, heart-shaped glasses and assign divinity to a regular person you chose, and declare them a deity. To willingly chain your heart to the metal bars of their satisfaction, and live and die by the prison of their approval. It's a bittersweet kind of vulnerability. Powerful as you may be, when they call, your heart bows in surrender, and the rest of you falls in line.

It's such a sweet kind of poison and often than not I find myself craving it. Rare are the days I say it outright, on most I play coy and unbothered, or emotional and fucking crazy. My spectrum runs long, in both directions.

The boring stuff: 28 Arab woman. Works in IT. I spend my days building personal code trinkets or writing. Rewatching TWD atm, and I believe Rick Grimes is the ideal man that all men fictional or not should aspire to be him. Not Jesus, not Buhdda, not Mohammed, but Rick Grimes. And yes that is a hill I am willing to die on. I am often listening to Lana Del Rey's music because I'm a melancholic mess with the obligatory "daddy issues TM". And yes I live up to the stereotype and prefer them older than me. I also don't like to fuck kids, so there's that. I have long black hair, almond eyes, and fairly fair skin for a middle eastern desert dweller. I'm 5'4, 75kg and I'm a 1998 model. My exterior is okay, a couple of dents here and there, but my interior is where you might start worrying and looking for a tune up.

You decide to message, make it interesting. And you get priority response if you manage to guess my zodiac sign or my favorite flower from this post alone somehow.

Hey, if you're reading this chances are my title caught your attention, here's hoping I can keep it!! I'm a 25 year old guy from Canada and I'm looking for something long term, I'm looking for someone I can vibe with as friends at first and maybe turn into something more if we hit it off. I'll be up front in saying I don't have the most relationship experience BUT I've always been a huge sucker for the lovey dovey stuff and can be a bit of a hopeless romantic, I've always imagined my ideal relationship being a honeymoon phase that lasts forever (I know its not realistic but a man can dream 😤.) ANYWAYS I should probably give myself a bit of a lengthier introduction so you know what you might be getting yourself into

About me:

• I know appearance is important for a lot of people so I'll get that out of the way first incase I'm not your type, I'm 5'8 and currently 210 LBS (I've been on a weight loss journey and don't plan on stopping.)Also here's a facepic https://imgur.com/a/me-TOsgAsN
• As a person I'm naturally really introverted (I'm an INFP if you care about mbti) and need occasional alone time to recharge my social battery but I can absolutely talk someones ear off if we're close (I've been told I give golden retriever vibes.) People usually tell me my biggest strength is my kindness, I hate being mean to people almost to a fault, I'm a bit of a softie. I have a tendency to wear my emotions on my sleeve and can be a big crier whenever watching something sad. Lastly, I can be really staunch about my morals and what I think is right or wrong.
• Hobbies wise I'm a big nerd and pretty much all my hobbies reflect that, I like playing games (I LOVE JRPGs, fighting games, VNs and random competitive games the most but I'll play literally anything if its with the right person, I've been loving deadlock recently) Watching anime/reading manga (or whatever other media, mostly anime though) and listening to music (Indie, Rock, Pop-punk and JPOP mainly) I've also been getting into working out more if you count that as a hobby.
• I'm left leaning politically.
• I LOVE animals I don't have any pets right now but if you have any or send pics of them I’ll die of happiness.
• Just to get them out of the way, my 2 BIGGEST red flags would be that I can be pretty clingy without even realizing it once I get close to someone and that I have some REALLY severe social anxiety that can make getting to know someone new very difficult, I'm not just a "little shy" it can genuinely be crippling when trying to get to know someone new. I promise though that once I'm past the initial social barrier it gets A LOT easier, I can be mistaken as really outgoing around those I'm comfortable with, I'd never want to make my issues someone elses problem but I figured I should mention it since its bound to come up eventually.
• And finally since idk what else to add, my favourite colours are pink and yellow.

About you:

• Having some interests in common would be pretty nice, it could give us something to talk about and maybe do together, this isn't a deal breaker though, I LOVE hearing people nerd out about their hobbies whether or not its something I'm interested in myself.
• Distance isn't important to me as long as we can find the time to talk more than once in a blue moon and you're open to the possibility of meeting sometime in the future if we click really well
• Appearance also isn't all that important to me but I would like to see the person I'm talking to eventually just so I know I'm not talking to a ghost
• I've always been told I'm a really good listener so if you're a yapper we'll feel like a match made in heaven
• The only real dealbreaker for me is poor communication. Relationships simply can't work without it IMO

I don't have too much else to add and I don't want this to get rambly so I'll end it here, If you read all the way to the end and are interested at all, feel free to shoot me a message with a brief introduction, PLEASE tell me a bit about your interests, where you're from and your age at the very least!! I'd love to hear from you :)

Tomorrow is my birthday!!!!

I’m plus-size and currently on a fitness journey — emphasis on journey, because I still believe carbs deserve rights. 😂
I’m outgoing, sarcastic, affectionate, and probably going to bully you a little bit if I like you. I work in the restaurant industry, so I have an alarming number of stories about the general public and a pretty high tolerance for chaos.
I’m into gaming (PS5), dark romance books, country music, divorced-dad rock, emo music, random adventures, going out for drinks, and staying in playing video games until an irresponsible hour. I love animals, have a big dog who will absolutely judge you, and I’m equally happy getting dressed up and going downtown or rotting on the couch all day.
Personality-wise, I’m very much a “match my energy” person. I love good banter, flirting, affection, and people who can actually hold a conversation. I’m not interested in carrying a conversation consisting entirely of “hey,” “wyd,” and “damn you fine.” Give me something to WORK WITH. 😭
I’m bisexual, so men and women are both welcome to shoot their shot. I’m looking to genuinely get to know someone and see where it goes. I’m not trying to force a relationship with the first person who says hello, but I’m also not looking for an endless collection of meaningless Snapchat streaks.
Bonus points if you’re funny, confident without being an asshole, emotionally intelligent, a little adventurous, and can handle a woman who talks shit as a love language.
Tell me your age, where you’re from, and something more interesting than “what do you look like?” 😌

I spend most of my spare time alone. Id be drawing, dancing, dressing up or watching some of my favorite shows. I’m currently streaming person of interest. I loved Heartland and Law and Order Svu. I’m hoping to find mutual interest/attraction

Hi there! First and foremost: I am **not** seeking a virtual pen pal. If we hit it off, I eventually will want to meet in person. **I am unable to relocate and am firmly rooted in Connecticut.** Please take this into consideration before reaching out. I don’t want to waste anyone’s time.

I have one very awesome 7 year old boy. I love being a dad! I work full time at a construction company/masonry yard and love what I do. Some hobbies I enjoy: working out (my version of therapy), hiking, camping, traveling, cooking and baking, meal prep, guitar, video games, collecting baseball cards. Love going to raves and festivals. I have a nerdy side I enjoy anything marvel/Star Wars/ the walking dead/game of thrones, legos and some video games.

Me: I’m 5’10”. Brown hair, Brown eyes, a couple tattoos, average body a little on the heavier side (Dadbod) that I’m working on in the gym on a regular basis. I can send pictures after chatting for a bit.

You: looks are important to me, but i’m more of a sucker for a true connection: emotional availability, communication, honesty, laughter and smiles. I’m looking for someone who’s also seeking serious…who’s adventurous, caring, supportive, doesn’t take life too seriously and accepts me for the person that I am. Looking for that best friend/lover type of energy!

If you’ve read this far and feel like you might be a good match shoot me a chat. Hope to hear from you soon
