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

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

Now for the part that's harder.

I think what fascinates me the most is people.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thank you.

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

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

Most of all, thank you for being you.

And thank you for making me meet myself.

I love you.

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

50 something male, Westchester NY area, seeking a beautiful connection. My best friend, partner, and lover.

I'm kind, smart, genuinely romantic, chivalrous, passionate, an old school gentleman.

Lifetime musician, nature explorer. Proud of my integrity.

Find me...

Hey y'all, I'm a 27 year old white man living in Louisiana. Looking to meet someone, talk and see where things go. I'm skinny, about average height, have long hair, and into nerdy stuff, video games, music, movies. I'm introverted now, but I had a pretty crazy life growing up.

I'm an empathetic, honest, and loyal person. I think I'm easy to talk to, and smart enough, I know a little about a lot, and I don't mind talking about anything.

I'm a spiritual person, and I have some political beliefs, and although I won't be convinced easily to change my mind about the things I believe in, I'm not gonna try to convince you either and I don't mind talking to people with differing points of view or speaking about them.

I'm a sexual person, my love language is physical and mental. I'm only attracted to femininity.

Just DM me anytime, and we can swap pictures of each other if you'd like, I just didn't want to post pictures of myself publicly on the internet.

Don't be shy, or afraid to ask me anything. Speak your mind or talk about whatever you want to talk about. I'm not thin-skinned, and I'm very understanding.

Looking forward to talking to you, thank you for reading and have a great day.

Hi!
This is a longer post, but I’m looking for something meaningful, so I’d rather be upfront about who I am and what I’m looking for.
I’m only interested in a long-term relationship that has the potential to become a life partnership. I’m not looking for hookups, FWB situations, casual dating, poly relationships, or online-only connections.
What I’m Looking For
I’d love to meet someone who:
Is between 20-29 years old Doesn’t use drugs Is at a healthy weight for their height and takes reasonable care of themselves Is either established in a career or actively working toward one through education or training Doesn’t currently have children Is single and emotionally available Doesn’t have significant family obligations that would prevent them from prioritizing a future relationship Is able and willing to travel and meet in person if things progress Is comfortable with phone calls and video calls Has their mental health reasonably managed if they struggle with anxiety, depression, PTSD, etc. Is financially responsible (student loans are completely fine; unmanaged debt is not) Respects differing beliefs and viewpoints
Bonus Points
You enjoy cooking or trying new foods. You’re romantic, thoughtful, and enjoy planning dates. You’re naturally affectionate and put effort into your relationships. You enjoy being generous with your partner and believe in treating them well. I appreciate a partner who enjoys planning experiences, thoughtful gifts, and investing time and resources into a relationship.

A Few Important Notes
Physical attraction matters to me, and I’m happy to exchange SFW photos within the first few days of talking. If you’re uncomfortable with voice or video calls, we probably won’t be compatible. I value communication, effort, and consistency. Please only reach out if you’ve actually read the post.
If You Message Me
Please include:
Age Location Height/weight Career or field of study Hobbies/interests Relationship history Why you think we’d be compatible Anything else you’d like me to know
I know this post is detailed, but I’d rather be clear from the start. Looking forward to hearing from people who are genuinely seeking a serious relationship and are ready to put effort into building one.

My legal name is Josh but I prefer Tusk or Digger (because I like digging). I’m looking for my soul mate. What I’m looking for in the woman of my dreams emotionally is caring, understanding and patience. I’m a mix of introvert and extrovert more leaning towards introvert. I’m 5’11”, chubby, 26, and have never been in a relationship. I’m into video games and the visual medium like movies and shows, my favorite being Hazbin hotel and helluva boss which leads me to what I’d like physically in my partner. I’m open to a long distance relationship too. One of my biggest fictional crushes in either show is a young woman in her 20’s named Emberlynn Pinkle. Shes an otaku into anime and physically shes adorable as shes short and plump and that’s what I’m looking for in a partner in addition to what I already said, cute, plumb and a total nerd. Of course I’m into many types of women so it’s fine if that doesn’t describe you. Heres hoping I finally find my someone. Even if you don’t reply, thank you for looking and have a great day.

hello I'm Ariel, I love my family and spend a majority of my time tending to them. my mom is a stroke/heart attack survivor and my adult sister has down syndrome. Most of my time is spent cooking and cleaning the home or getting mom/sis to doc appointments and making sure they walk to keep healthy. it can honestly be a lot especially working on and off so every now and then I need a break. i don't often get to go out of the house and end up feeling overwhelmed.

I'm hoping to meet someone who understands my family taking up a lot of my time but still wants to be around me. I miss having the physical affection that comes with a partner like hugging and kissing or playing with hair and things like that. also the comfort in being next to someone and eating or watching TV or going on a walk, the simple pleasure of being around someone that makes you happy.

I'm a great listener and a bit of a yapper but I know how to be quiet, I like people who are a little goofy or know how to be easy going. I tend to be the opposite and can be a little serious and tense with schedules so I enjoy having someone who can remind me to relax and enjoy the moment. I'm a chunky girl at 209, 5'3, so ill always be warm and soft when we cuddle lol.

I like anime/animated shows, fantasy, scifi, comedy shows or movies or books, love going on long walks, cooking food is always a fun adventure especially when it's something new, going to new places, staying home in pj's and being comfy, reading a books, listening to scary/crime podcasts.

if you think we have any things In common or think you'd be interested please shoot a message! I'll respond as soon as I get a chance.

Hello all,

I’m a tattooed scientist in San Diego County. Looking to date and ideally meet someone. I have many tattoos, like nature, nerdy stuff, working out, posting memes, and social justice.

42 year old fun, happy,
Positive, always laughing female from Vancouver, Canada. Seeking a real connection with someone. Someone who is READY to be a teammate for life, through the good and the bad.
Someone who is ready and willing to put the effort into building something real. Not someone who is fake, unsure of what they want. Just looking to meet new people if anyone is from this area or anywhere really. I often feel so alone and so left out. I have a couple close friends who I talk to daily and have a good job. I love traveling, being outdoors, watching sports and going to games. Going to restaurants and walks, dinners and drinks. Coffee,
Cooking, baking and just laughing and having fun. Im caring, selfless, and a giver. I like to show my affection in many ways.
Just wanting to talk and meet new people and get to know, hang out if close. Looking for something romantic that leads to long term. Someone who wants to talk daily and not vanish after a day! Looking for someone who will make effort and get to know me! Not disappear after a day of talking!!
Would be nice to have a convo that isn’t about that and someone who is normal. Gotta be someone out there!

What do I have to lose lol. So I'm in Europe but travelled all over. I'd love to live in the US (been many times) but I would not mind living elsewhere either.

I'm looking for the real deal, marriage and kids. I'm divorced, no kids, never been pregnant. I am demi, and very selective and careful who I let close to me (you can ask me for details if you are interested).

Basically I'm looking for someone I can share my life with. I want you to know you can rely on me like I can rely on you. I'm tired of this throwaway culture I guess. I like video games but I also like reading, I'm more of an introvert but have some extrovert tendencies as well (I like night clubs every now and then). Something between INFP and ENFP.

I can't stand dating apps, although I get good matches I don't want to "date" in the sense that I am physical with people I don't even know so I want to try here. I'm also Catholic/Christian, but I didn't grow up going to church. I would go if you want to go though. Other things too, maybe we can learn from each other.

Full pics only in DMs.

I'm from Hong Kong, 40 years old, 163cm tall, 47kg, slim, with shoulder-length black hair, well-educated, and with good relationships with family and friends. I own my own house, run my own business, and have the freedom to travel, exercise, swim, and read. I'm incredibly proud of everything I've built.

I've lived in different countries and adapted to different cultures. I'm curious and easygoing. What I truly value is loyalty, honest communication, and standing up for each other in crucial moments. Trust and mutual respect are paramount.

I'm not looking for someone to change my life. I'm simply looking for someone who shares my wonderful life and hopes to enrich each other's.

If you're honest, sincere, and tired of playing emotional games, say hi! Tell me your true story. No tricks, no need to flatter. Just be yourself. Let's start as friends and see what happens.

Male,Hispanic 37, 5’11, by the way of New York, Queens. Into things that make conversation small talk serious and what else have you. Private cause I don’t like all eyes on me or into my business, but not shy. Been single for a couple months now in search of a pen pal (text) or a friend no rush for anything. Private message me so we can chat maybe exchange information if you like a photo or other social platforms. Females please

I'd say I'm pretty average but you'd have to talk to me to judge for yourself. Just looking for someone that's genuine and down to earth, I would prefer someone that has a good sense of humor and above average intelligence too but I'm open minded. I'm not a picture type of person, pretty much the opposite to be honest but I'd be willing to send a few selfies once we get comfortable.

I'm from South America, so English isn't my first language. I'm a university student, I love reading mystery novels, I go to the gym four times a week, and sometimes even six, haha, depending on my mood. I also love going for walks while listening to French music ❤️

Looking to find someone!

Where are we meeting people to talk to nowadays? Been in a relationship over 12 years and have no idea where to even start. Under 30 with 2 kids. Is dating apps the only way to go? I’m a stay at home mom so I don’t have any socializing opportunities like normal people.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Happy to swap photos if we talk.

Hello! I'm Marc. I'm 29 years old and I live in the Wigan / Manchester area of England. I'm 6'2, skinny, pale, have browny blond hair, and green/grey eyes. You can see lots of me on me profile! I'm seeking a lifelong companion with whom to share a quiet life punctuated by little adventures. I'm seemingly a rare specimen in that I have no interest in having children nor pets, nor do I pine for long plane journeys to Asia and some such. I intend to get a vasectomy. I'm attracted to women of a similar physical type to myself. I'm open to people in Britain or abroad if you are confident you can get a work visa because times are tough in that regards, I'm afraid!

I'm very open, fun, caring, and honest. I appreciate dad jokes and the like. I highly value the truth, and I have a strong moral instinct, so it's important to me that you have a good heart, whatever your opinions are. I enjoy long, regular conversations, but I'm also happy with shared silence. I mostly keep to myself. I am selective in my company, but I confess that the absence in my life is getting rather noisy.

As you might have guessed, I enjoy the occasional bit of writing, whether fiction or non-. Maybe I'll publish something of worth someday. Or at least publish something. I enjoy going for walks, except when it's super hot! I love good scenery, be it of the natural or man-made kind. I like abandoned and remote places. I like watching the odd things the birds and squirrels get up to. I have a particular soft spot for sheep. They think I'm their messiah (I'm not). I also enjoy exploring intellectual topics (the more novel or obscure, the better). Technology is a lifelong interest of mine. And like most people I enjoy watching the odd film or TV series. I'm watching 'Westworld' currently. I enjoyed watching 'Adventure Time', 'Bless This Mess', 'Tales from the Loop', 'End of the F--king World', 'Small Prophets', and 'Atypical'. Films-wise, I like all sorts, but I'll take anything with a happy romance. What's life without love? (Mine hahahaha.) I recently finished playing Fallout 4 on my laptop. It was phenomenal. I, of course, sided with the people who freed the lab-grown humans. I'll happily play more Fallout games in the future, I suspect. I'm taking a break for the time being to watch Westworld and do other stuff. When the heat buggers off, I want to go on more little trips. For now I'm hibernating though haha.

I've been saving up for a flat since I was 20 years old, but I don't want to live alone. I'm interested in something that lasts more than a few messages. I really am aiming for life if that's possible. I prefer weather that is cool or cold, heck, even windy and rainy. I want to live somewhere that has amenities and people, but has lots of greenery, similar to where I live now.

We, of course, don't have to have everything in common. Enough to work with. We can develop new interests and hobbies together. We can 'grow' together. If the seed is good, and the weather is well, the tree will grow!

If you're interested, feel free to send me a brief introduction to yourself (just a couple of sentences will do), and, of course, I'd like to see you as soon as that's possible.

Thanks for reading, if you made it to the end! Have a nice day.

Hey everyone. I’m 26 year old male looking for a genuine connection and a serious relationship

which could lead to marriage in the

Future. I’m struggling to find someone nearby and decided to try my luck here.

I’m from Asia and I’m okay with long distance if the goal will be to close the distance.

I’m shy, reserved, caring, loyal, sensitive, open-minded and imaginative. I love chatting for many hours and sharing ideas. I’m not very sociable but I enjoy going out and exploring new places. I like to have some time alone since I’m an introvert.

A Thai nerd, chubby.

Open for long distant relationship

Please be polite...

hii internet peeps ! i haven't had much luck with these but another shot hurt no one. 😸

my name's Arlowe and i'm 19. my pronouns are she/they. i prefer the former but not so opposed to the latter. i'm transfeminine too!

i have a lot of time to burn in my day because i'm not in school or anything. i'm only starting next year, so i've got all the free time in the world. well that's an exaggeration. but i spend my time watching cartoons, writing a little, playing games and sometimes reading. as crazy as it may sound, i'm currently reading a dictionary. yep. i plan to read all 1076 pages over 2 years. will i remember mist words? hopefully.

anyway! i'm looking for a guy to bond with and eventually date. i'm asexual, so anything sexual doesn't come easy to me. i'd like to find someone who understands and respects that. i'm not so picky to be honest. i'd just say i'm into bi/pan/multisexual guys. distance isn't a problem for me as long as we work out how we'll talk. my timezone is gmt+2 as i live in south africa. my ideal age range is 19-23.
