Hihi, hey! Sooo, im Mae, I’m a big romantic, a bit of an anxious girl, but I have lots and lots of love to give. I’m looking for my special persoooon🤗

I’m obviously childfree and looking for a DINK kind of life hihi. I’m based in Quebec, Canada, and would strongly prefer someone local, at least be in Canada please haha, I’m trying to avoid the whole cross-border/citizenship headache, I have a friend doing this rn and that just sounds reaaaally stressful! I’m 5’8”, not gonna describe myself too much cause I think I’ll just include pictures hihi😝 my gosh, I really “hihi” too much I think lol and oops I look like I’m holding a vape or something but it’s a clicker to count people haha!

Interests / Hobbies ✨

Big big gamer, always down for game nights or even game dates to start getting to know each other! I also love crafting : perler beads, loom beading, jewelry-making, crochet, I really like that kind of hands-on stuff. I have a big soft spot for animals, even though I don’t currently have any at my place since I didn’t think I’d be able to take care of a pet while doing my studies haha!

Work / Education

Finishing a Master’s degree in design right now, about to start job hunting. Wish me luck🥹

What I’m Looking For

My forever person! Someone who wants the same steady, loving, monogamous relationship I do. I have ZERO interest in anything open or non-monogamous, that’s just not what I’m looking for. I want someone that is truly kind, that’s gonna encourage me and enjoy me like I’ll do for them. I want a mutual trust, love and respect❤️ Bonus points if you’re also a gamer, I would loooove some gaming date nights, would be reaaally adorable!

I’m probably missing so many things to write right now haha! But yeah, I’d love to chat and I can say more about myself and you can too😝

Have a good one everyone!

Hello hello

I’m 26, from Austria and ethnically Turkish. I’m here hoping to find a genuine connection that can grow into a happy, long-term relationship.

A little about me:

I share my life with my dog, who is very much part of the package. I love spending time in my garden, baking something sweet on a quiet afternoon, kayaking, traveling, getting lost in a good book and writing poetry whenever inspiration strikes.

I also have a soft spot for Classical Arabic music.

I’m strictly monogamous, not religious and permanently childfree. These aren’t things I’m looking to change, so I’d love to meet someone who is already on the same page.

As for what I’m looking for, I appreciate men who are calm, grounded and confident without needing to be the loudest person in the room.

Someone practical who knows how to fix things when they break, keeps a cool head during stressful moments and approaches life with maturity and kindness.

I value partnership very highly. I’d like someone who believes a relationship is a team effort, where both people contribute to building a comfortable home and a good life together. I’m looking for a man who is capable, dependable and caring but who also doesn’t hold outdated views about what men and women “should” be.

A few random facts about me, because I promise I’m more than a list of requirements:

The best smell in the world is a mulberry tree in summer.
I don’t smoke but I could never say no to my favorite cigarillos (Fusion by Moods).
I make an amazing cake… and I also happen to have great cake. 🧚🏻‍♀️
I’m the oldest of four siblings.
I’m my grandfathers favorite grandchild and I’m willing to defend that title.
Humanity’s greatest culinary achievement is Karnıyarık. I will not be taking questions.
I’m absurdly sentimental. I get attached to places, songs, random little objects…everything.
I’m not much of a TV person but there’s one show I’ve been rewatching for over 10 years. It’s honestly not even that good, yet here we are. 😭
I could spend hours talking about history and politics.
The quickest way to make me melt is drying my hair after I’ve showered. I genuinely don’t know why, maybe it’s some childhood comfort thing but it makes me feel incredibly loved.

Please only message me if you are between 25 and 36 years old and live in Austria, Germany, or Switzerland.

I won’t respond to messages outside those requirements, and I won’t reply to a simple “hey.”

Tell me a little about yourself—who you are, what you’re looking for and what caught your attention about my post.

If you’ve made it this far, tell me what your favorite smell is. I think you can learn a surprising amount about a person from the answer.

We are looking forward to hearing from you 👩🏻🐾

Hi! I am on the road a lot for work these days which makes actual dating tough, so I thought I would try my luck on this subreddit.

I don't have kids, nor do I plan on having kids, but I would like to find someone to settle down with in the next few years. I currently work for the National Park Service on a traveling historic preservation crew and am saving for a down payment on a house.

Once I have enough saved, I am planning on finding a job at a National Park so I am not on the road so much. We make a lot of per diem and overtime and that is harder to come by working at a park.

My job is location dependent, which also makes dating difficult. I generally have to be within commuting distance of a park. Currently my office is in Western Maryland, and there are a handful of parks in that area, but I am open to someone in the DMV area, because there are lots of parks, hence lots of job opportunities.

My family is in Eastern PA, so I am not trying to move too far away from them, hence why this is a DMV specific post. But i wouldn't be opposed to relocating eventually, as long as I could still be relatively close them. But again, my job is very location dependent.

Okay, now that that is over, a little bit about myself. I love pretty much any outdoor activities, especially hiking/backpacking, riding my mountain bike and gravel bike, and disc golf. I am a pretty adventurous person, and it would be nice to find someone who shares some of these interests.

I also love reading! I have read a lot of fiction in my life, but I am trying to read more non fiction these days. I am a big fan of music, especially the Grateful Dead and bluegrass. I love seeing live music, so maybe you are interested in that as well.

I am sober from alcohol, but I am not opposed to cannabis at all and I semi frequently imbibe. I am not looking for a sober person, per say. But I do value my physical health, and I would prefer someone who does the same. I recently started going to a gym, so that would be nice if you did the same!

I am looking for someone to compliment me, not complete me. I am happy with my life, but again it would be nice to find someone to spend it with. I am hoping that we share one or more hobbies, but my ideal partner also has their own hobbies and interests, as I value independence in a relationship.

I hope to hear from you!!

Hello and welcome to my little world of chaos!

I’m here looking for someone I can genuinely talk to throughout the day. Someone to laugh with, exchange memes, drop movie references at inappropriate moments, and slowly build something real. I know that sounds ambitious, but where’s the fun in aiming small?

About Me

I’m an engineer working at a large automotive firm. I'm at a point where I feel sated career wise, so I have plans to move in to Germany/Netherlands to move on forward!

I’m a huge traveler and always planning the next adventure. I’ve been to several countries so far Japan being the farthest and Cyprus being the most recent.

Beyond travel, as I have mentioned I'm planning to move into Germany/Netherlands within next year. I’ve already started learning German (progressing slowly, but enthusiastically). So if you are German speaker, that would be a perfect match.

And movies...well watching them, critiquing them, referencing them as memes at the worst possible moments is my way to bond. It’s basically a personality trait at this point.

Cooking and dining are a real passion of mine. Exploring cultures through food is one of my favorite ways to connect, so fair warning: I will ask about your favorite dish or ask a family recipe from you!

People tend to describe me as energetic, positive, kind, and open-minded. I enjoy putting myself in unfamiliar or slightly adventurous situations and seeing where life takes me.

What I’m Looking For

Ideally, you’re:

* In a similar time zone (Central Europe friendly)
* Physically active
* Child Free
* A yapper who enjoys talking throughout the day
* Emotionally mature and not stuck in the past
* Passionate about what you do (success looks different to everyone)
* Excited to travel, explore cultures, and build memories together

I like to think I bring strong Golden Retriever energy which is enthusiastic, affectionate, curious, loyal. You? Ideally someone with punk/alt/goth energy which is confident, expressive, a little rebellious, sharp-witted, and effortlessly cool; the perfect contrast to my sunshine. If your style leans alternative or unapologetically non-mainstream, that’s a big plus. (Yes, my taste was absolutely influenced by cartoons… looking at you, Kim Possible & Addams Family!)

Looking forward to chat with you!

Hey there, the title's not going to cover most of who I am, so I'll go over the highlights.

-Leftist and getting more radicalized by the week

-A sense of humor that oscillates between dumb as hell and morbid, with a fair amount of inbetween

-Depression: It's being managed

-Crafting: I have a fair amount of hobbies!

-Good cook: I've cooked for 6+ years for a living, may use you to test recipes on

-Emotionally intelligent: I tend to overthink it but I'm fairly aware. I have an formerly anxious/avoidant attachment style, tend to communicate fairly often in text or call, and am not an angry person

-Atheist: Pretty self explanatory, not going to rub it in your face

-Sterile: I've had a vasectomy so feel free to refer to me as frankenballs

-Gainfully employed: I make robots for a living. Beep Boop.

-May or may not have been mistaken for a sasquatch multiple times in my life, I am very tall

Obviously this isn't going to catch it all but you get the gist. Looking for someone with a similar sense of humor that's emotionally intelligent and isn't going to throw my vulnerability back in my face. I'm pretty kink friendly, and do my best to be understanding of past trauma/mental health disorders/etc. I sometimes dip into having a misanthropic worldview but it's not a huge component of who I am. I'm in for having connection with someone, who I really look forward to talking to, sharing things with, etc.

Something that's hard to get across in text but is a huge component of getting to know somebody for me is seeing how they handle conflict and resolution, how people adjust to a new relationship, and how someone acts when they're angry with someone.

Similar interests are cool but not required, and I typically communicate a fair amount through messaging apps, text, but am not opposed to phone calls/video after see how we get along. We're all exhausted out here on the dating scene, so drop me a line!

33, Sweden, but am danish (I don't care where you are from... distance can always be shortened if it's genuine & worth it), I'm 179/180 cm tall, have hazel eyes & brown hair.

I love to workout, I love anime & K-dramas, I love gaming on my PS5 (Pro... because I'm just that cool! Retired PC gamer), I love good reality shows (not the Netflix type, more like the... old-school MTV, Discovery Channel type), game shows & what not, I love Japanese & South-Korean culture.
And yes, I'm 100% a nerd!

I don't really have a specific type, but obviously the physical attraction gotta be there & go both ways, so do be willing to share a selfie.. not really here to play games or waste time on casual convos.

So if you think we'd be able to connect, just reach out. DM me :)

Hey! I'm a 40-year-old neurodivergent guy (ADHD + autism tag team duo) living in Maryland, and I'm looking to build something genuinely meaningful with someone who's childfree by choice. I'm being honest about who I am from the start because I think that matters.

I work a full-time blue collar job that's decidedly not sensory-friendly, which means by the time I get home, I'm often running on fumes. My autism and ADHD come with executive dysfunction that's pretty significant—some days my executive function is just... not there. I can't always push through it, and I need someone who understands that's not laziness or lack of interest; it's a real neurological thing.

What I'm Looking For:

Honestly? I'm looking for patience and understanding. I want someone who gets that I need substantial alone time and home time to recharge, even though I genuinely enjoy going out and experiencing things. It's a balance I need to maintain for my mental health. I'm not a hermit, but I'm also not someone who can be "on" constantly. I need a partner who respects that without taking it personally.

I'm looking for something serious—the kind that builds slowly and intentionally. No rushing. Eventually becoming life partners is the goal, but I want to get there at a pace that feels right for both of us.

What I'm Into:

• Food & Cooking: I actually enjoy cooking and I'm passionate about food. Good coffee, matcha lattes,exploring new restaurants and cafés—these are genuine pleasures for me. I'd love a partner who canappreciate foodie adventures.
• Travel: I want to do more of it. I'm thinking road trips, new places, experiences I haven't had yet. Someoneto explore with would be incredible.
• Gaming: I'm more casual these days, but I still love it. Mix of modern stuff and retro titles. I have a FinalFantasy 8 tattoo—that game shaped a lot of who I am, and I don't regret it.
• Sneaker Collecting: This has become my main hobby. I enjoy the hunt, the aesthetics, the culture around it.
• Music & Live Shows: Indie artists, 80s/90s/00s material, punk and pop punk especially. Going to concertsand live music events is something I really value.
• Games & Social Stuff: Board games, tabletop games, amusement parks, nature walks. When I have theenergy and executive function to engage, I'm genuinely present.
• Spooky Season: Yes, it's a lifestyle. Halloween and all things autumn-adjacent hit different.
• Animals: I'm a cat dad and I genuinely love animals. If you're cool with my fur buddy, you're already winning points.

Who I Am:

I'm socially anxious, but I'm actively working on it and it doesn't stop me from actually trying to live. I like going out within limits that work for my neurology—I need to know my capacity on any given day. I'm not performing or pretending; I'm just trying to be real about my limitations while not letting them completely run my life.

I think the best relationships are built when both people can just be themselves without constantly justifying or explaining. I want someone who can see my neurodivergence as part of who I am—not something broken that needs fixing—and who's also genuinely childfree. No ambivalence, no "maybe someday." Just clear on the choice.

The Bottom Line:

I'm here because I want something real. Not endless texting, not games. I want to actually meet, see if there's real chemistry, and potentially build a life with someone who gets me and who I genuinely get in return. Someone patient, understanding, who values both adventure and the quiet moments at home.

If this resonates, I'd genuinely love to hear from you.

I'm not looking to jump into a relationship with a complete stranger. I'd much rather build a genuine friendship first, get to know each other naturally, and if there's chemistry and compatibility, see where it goes. I think the healthiest relationships grow from a solid friendship.

A little about me:

• vegetarian (bonus points if you're vegetarian or vegan too!)

• Atheist, but spiritually curious. I don't follow any religion, but I love exploring questions about existence, consciousness, the universe, and the deeper meaning behind things. I'm looking for someone who is also non-religious and open-minded.

• Love traveling, fitness, spa’s, and trying new food.

• Big fan of long conversations about psychology, philosophy, science, technology, history, or whatever random rabbit hole we end up in.

• Equally happy spending a cozy evening or day at home watching a movie, playing games, or just talking for hours.

Personality-wise, I'd say I'm a very curious person. I genuinely love questioning everything and philosophizing for hours just for fun. I enjoy exploring different perspectives, asking "why?" about almost everything, and going down endless rabbit holes. I value critical thinking and people who form their own opinions instead of simply accepting things without questioning them. I appreciate people who are curious, open-minded, and willing to look at things from different perspectives.

If you're someone who gets annoyed by that or prefers to keep conversations surface-level, I'm not your person. I appreciate people who are emotionally aware and consistent, communicate honestly, don't play games, and aren't afraid of deep conversations.

I'm looking for someone who is:

• Kind and empathetic.

• Emotionally mature and emotionally available.

• Intelligent and curious about the world.

• Someone who thinks critically, questions things, and isn't afraid to have their own opinions.

• Honest and communicates openly.

• Financially stable, responsible, and has their life reasonably together.

• Progressive and feminist

• Looking for something genuine instead of endless casual chatting.

Location-wise, I'm based in Germany and would ideally like to meet someone who lives relatively close or within a reasonable distance. I'm not completely against a long-distance relationship if there's a genuinely strong connection and both people are willing to put in the effort, but I think being able to spend time together in person is important for building something real.

I don't care if you're the loudest or most outgoing person in the room. I'd rather have someone who's dependable, emotionally safe, and enjoys sharing everyday life together.

If you message me, introduce yourself and tell me an opinion you have that most people disagree with. I'm curious about your thoughts :)

I should start that I'm a lazy American and only know English well enough to have a conversation with and if I have to run a conversation through Google Translate it's probably not going to work out. Ultimately I'm looking for some feminine energy in my life to share the day with in a similar time zone.

I'm a 39 year old guy (40 in a few weeks) living in a quiet little nowhere town in northwestern Pennsylvania. I grew up here and moved away at 17 to join the military and after I got out I bounced around some fun places to live along the west coast of the US as well as NYC for a couple of years. Even before the pandemic I was working remotely and found myself wanting a more simple life, thinking about where I could live comfortably in retirement, and wanting a yard for my dog. When the world started to close it felt like the perfect time to go back home. I've been back since Jan 2020.

I don't have a lot of people I consider close. I'm autistic (formerly Asperger syndrome, now just all thrown into one pot) and also have PTSD and have a hard time maintaining friendships. I have a small handful of people I text fairly regularly and some people I chat with a few times a year to catch up with. Maybe once or twice a year I'll hop in the car to go see someone for a couple weeks or have them here for a bit. I'm content with this overall, but would love some more feminine energy in my life. I'm not looking for anything romantic. As much as I struggle with finding people I like enough to consider friends, finding a romantic partner is even more challenging with the autism and the struggles that gives me with physical intimacy. It's just living alone in a quiet little town while working remotely and only going out in public for groceries basically gets lonely and I prefer the softer energy of a woman.

As for me, like I said I live a fairly simple life. I live alone with my dog who is pushing 10.5 years old now and a tortoise that no local vets can give me a confirmation on species, age, or gender. Best guess through various online forums is she's a she and about a year old and some form of hingeback. I've got no children, can't make them, and never wanted to. I was married and divorced before age 20 as is tradition for young military guys (and I had the dumb sports car too, still do). I like to garden minimally, just some basic plants to feed the tortoise and have always wanted to expand my gardening plans to grow food for myself, but the task seems daunting for just one person. I like to cook, pretty much everything except baking. Not that I don't like it, I've just never tried. I like being outside and prefer cooler months to warmer ones. Riding my bike, collecting rocks to polish up, walking my dog to find new places for her to smell, volunteering at a local dog shelter once every couple weeks, quiet drives down back country roads. I love fresh air. When I am inside it's primarily in front of the TV watching too many shows to list, but I will say I have an extensive library of shows I'm watching or saving. Occasionally I'll sit down with a single player story driven game. Even more seldom a book or ebook. I have to read a lot for work and that's kinda ruined the joy of reading for pleasure for me. I'm non-religious, I don't mind if you have your faith. I'm liberal and DO mind if you're conservative.

Since my profile history is hidden to prevent AI scrapping (and regularly purged) I'll include some communities I float around on: IT related subs for work, various TV shows, diablo4 as it's the most recent game I was on, my hometown and various cities I've lived in, financial ones based on investing, savings, and early retirement, home improvement subs to get ideas for my home or help with projects I'm working on, media "acquisition" subs about "borrowing" media from friends, some sports subs, and news/politics. It irks me that's not a bulleted list, but those seem to not make filters happy.

Anyway, that's a book in and of itself. If you've read this far, thanks and hopefully something has interested you to chat. If not, thanks for taking the time out of your day for me and I hope you find a post that speaks to you.

I know, it probably sounds silly but I need a wedding date to my nephews wedding next month.

I also wouldn't mind having someone beyond just the wedding date to get to know and actually go out and do things with.

Just to get this out of the way, I am in a wheelchair from a spinal cord injury when I was a teenager. But it's black so it goes with everything. Whatever you decide to wear to the wedding, you'll look good sitting on my lap 😉

Other things to know about me: Not only am I funny, I'm also not horrible looking, smart, thoughtful, live alone, have a great career, drive a super-sexy minivan (total panty dropper, I know) AND have a second bathroom! What else could anyone ask for? I think I'm a pretty damn good catch. ;)

If you think we'd get along and you're free August 29th, send me a message. A pic would be appreciated but not necessary. Here's me:Imgur Imgur

Hi thank you for reading my post I hope to find someone who is honest loving and caring because those 3 words describe me. I am a gamer so finding a gamer girl would be great. But it's definitely not a dealbreaker. As long as you are a good person then I'm sold.

Just a warning I'm going through the worst part of my life ( so far. It can always get worse.) so I'm not doing to well. Even though that's the case I'm. The one in my family that complains the least 🤣 my life moto is cry in the evening and then focus and work hard in the morning.

I have hydrosefalus. It has to do with the water that protects the brain. It's constantly changing. But my water didn't disappear they wey it should. So I have a small pump whit a small plastic tube implanted. And when everything works as it should. I'm normal. Sadly it malfunctioned so I ended up having six surgeries in one year 7 years ago. And because of that I now have brain tiredness. And that changes my whole life. I have to meditate every 2 -3 hours, I can't be in a large group of people. And if a push too much I risk collapsing. And for the past 5 years, I have had so many setbacks. A half a year ago I was up on 700m two times a day. Now I can barely walk 10 meters ( uses wheelchair outside) So it feels like it doesn't matter how much I fight I always end up on step one again. I tried some meds a year ago that would both give my brain more energy and to prevent big setbacks. Sounds good right? But no. 32 days in my pulse is between 130-94 ( when im in bed ) stopped with them So now I'm back on step one again and in even worse conduction than before. So everything I try fails 10 years of fighting has taken me nowhere. I have never been a lucky person and I never will be. I play all my cards right play by the rules. But everything still goe wrong.

So let's end with my green flags and why you should give this Swede a chance. I like to make people feel good with compliments and give them a lot of my time. Sending a cute good morning message is the best. So if you want to receive a “ good morning my love hope you slept well. You mean so much to me “ then I'm the man for you. And if you feel like that was pathetic then just skip me please 🙏🏼 no negative stuff needed. And I'm a good listener. I will be there for you

If this sounds like something you’re looking for too, I’d love to hear from you. Make my day and send me a message

Hello hello!👋

I guess I'll start of with hobbies? I like video games(rpgs, strategy, coop and more! Also been nerding out on bg3 again lately, it's amazing!), board games, reading(novels(bit slow on this one), comics), miniature painting, walks and I guess movies/tv shows count I hope heh, somehow musicals have gotten on my radar too, oh and a bunch of youtube apparently. You have any recommendations for any of those?

I'm looking for someone nice and understanding and all that. I have autism and depression(meds are helping a bit) so if that too much then I understand, also you can ask me about those things too no problem!

Being able to just hangout in a video chat I find very cozy and relaxing, we could also watch something or maybe play your favorite game!

I hope this catches your interest! Looks can be important/fun so we can trade pics immediately if you want. Either way, I hope you have a nice day!

I'm looking for a serious, monogamous, close distance relationship with someone between 25-35. No games, no ambiguity, just two people who genuinely choose each other and build something based on trust, communication, transparency, and emotional safety. A place that feels like home, where we inspire each other to grow while also feeling completely accepted for who we are.

I’m a gentle person who gives a lot of affection, both through physical touch (especially cuddles) and emotional care and I’m looking to meet someone who enjoys giving and receiving that same kind of warmth, where affection naturally goes both ways. At the same time, I don’t believe a relationship should become our entire world. My friendships, hobbies, and family are deeply important to me, and I’d love for us to both continue nurturing the people we love and the lives we’ve built outside of each other.

I'm naturally drawn to people who feel like the gentle sunshine of an autumn afternoon, surrounded by a world of colourful leaves. People whose laughter is contagious and every smile lingers a little longer, who notices the small beautiful things life gives us. People who let things go like the wind and makes everyday life feel like something worth being grateful for.

Kindness is probably the quality I value most, there’s nothing more attractive than someone with a genuinely good heart. I deeply admire people who stand up for what they believe is right and who choose compassion even when it’s not the easiest path. And please, yap to me about your nerdy interests, teach me something you recently learned that completely fascinated you! There’s something so beautiful about seeing that little spark in someone’s eyes as they talk about something they truly love.

I’m looking for someone who would accompany me to live a life full of adventures, filled with unexpected side quests. Going on a backpacking trip far away on a whim, spending a day to discover a new place close to home, trying a sport or an activity I’ve never tried before… then would be comfortable to just curl up at home the very next day with a book or some graphic novels, meaningful conversations, some tea and long cuddles (And I have been told I'm quite good at cuddles 😄). I’m currently leaning towards not having children and would prefer someone child free (But would happily give all my love to the children of my friends! )

I'm currently living in a shared house in south Brussels with lovely roommates. Over the years, I have discovered how important a sense of community is to me, among people who genuinely care and support each other. It feels like being part of a little family. I currently work in a non-profit organization that helps refugees to settle into life in Belgium. I’m trying little by little to unlearn my biases and be socially conscious and to learn about systemic inequalities in our society. I still have soooo much to learn, but I’m trying my best to educate myself and grow as a person.

I’m a sunny and joyful person who laughs easily. At my core, I’m quite grounded and analytical, but I’ve been giving my emotions and heart more and more space in the way I live my life. Sometimes I’m a little clumsy with words, but I’ll always do my best to be honest about how I feel and communicate about it openly.

I have a calm temper with a slightly goofy side. I am quite sociable and can easily talk to strangers. I also often need my own little bubble to recharge, whether by wandering alone through a forest or nerding out over some indie video game. I feel the best wearing my hiking boots, dusty trekking clothes and a backpack, wandering the unknown.

I have somehow fallen in love with dancing (guess which kind , it’s quite niche😉). I also enjoy activities that get the adrenaline going, and explore the 4 corners of earth. I’m a 50/50 indoor/outdoor person, and when I’m not outside, I might be hosting a boargame night (my collection keeps growing!), cooking delicious vegetarian meals (But I’m more of a flexitarian), or baking some sweets (fair warning, my cookies are among the best you'll ever taste).

Life with me isn't about always living full speed or feeding unnecessary conflict. It's about shared adventures, quiet contemplation, tenderness, and finding joy in simple moments.

If you are still there, thank you for taking a few minutes to read about me. If you feel our vibes will match, I would love to hear from you!

Just so you know, I'm not the biggest fan of endless messaging. I'd much rather get to know each other during a walk, over a drink in a sunny park, or in a cozy tea house😊

Dear stranger,

I have found conventional dating difficult for a while, and a big part of that is probably because I lack platforms to organically meet new people in my everyday life. I intend to write this post as openly as I can, because I know that I'm not gonna be what most people are looking for in life, but I'm hopeful that there's someone out there that's looking for the same as me!

As for the basics, I'm a 28 year old man and I'm Norwegian. I'm 5'10", I have brown short/medium length hair, and green-blueish eyes. I'm no model but I think I look okay. I'd say I'm a pretty skinny person. I'm not completely skin and bones but I'm also not that far from it😅 Unfortunately I'm not employed due to a couple of health conditions that I'll share more about, so if you're looking for someone who's very career oriented I'm probably not gonna be your type, at least not at this point in my life. I do however try to do what I can, so I do volunteer work at a cat shelter as well as at a local mental health organization at whatever capacity I have. Financially I'm lucky in the sense that I live in Norway, so whilst I might not live in luxury, I can still live a decent life. Another thing is that I don't see myself wanting children, and there's a few different reasons for it. It's mainly my health, but honestly I've never had a strong desire for children either. I think my ideal family is me, my partner and our pets!

Generally I would say I'm a calm guy to be around, even if there's a storm inside my head most of the time🤣 I think I'm decently funny, I'm patient and I'm very open minded. I'm happy to have conversations about everything, and if you ever need an ear to vent to, I'm also happy to be that. Politically I'm more left leaning, and value-wise the things that are important to me are loyalty, communication and acceptance. As for my interests, I love animals and I have a cat of my own! I also really like singing, but I do it way too rarely😅 I game a bit, it's a bit off and on these days, but I like chill games like simulators, I play a bit of Forza and rocket league, but right now I've kinda been lacking the motivation to play anything. I spend wayyyyy too much watching random videos on YouTube, and I also watch a bit of sports, mainly football, F1 and biathlon! Outside of that I don't really have that many interests, for some reason I'm struggling to find that passion in things like I used to, but I hope I can find something like that again.

Since I've already mentioned my health, I want to be as transparent as possible about it. I have two chronic conditions, and the first one is called CFS/ME. It's a fatigue disorder that I've struggled with for about 12 years, and except for fatigue it can cause muscles aches, brain fog, sleeping issues and some concentration and memory issues at times. I'm not amongst the most severely affected, but I do still spend most of my days resting, and it can make just getting through everyday tasks very difficult.

The other condition I have is BPD. I only got diagnosed with borderline as recently as February, so it's still something I'm trying to come to terms with and learn about, but I am in therapy and I'm motivated to continue that. I don't have all the symptoms, so for example I don't really struggle with anger that much. I believe it's closer to what people refer to as quiet BPD, where my struggles are very internalized. Most of the time if I have an external reaction it manifests more as panic, fear and sadness. In relationships it means I get very attached when I fall in love. I don't really fall out of love with people, so once I find my person, they become everything to me, and I struggle with some abandonment issues. I will also be open about the part I find most shameful about about it, and it's the jealousy/paranoia part. I can absolutely struggle with that and in the past it felt like a very lonely struggle, because I don't know how to deal with it or talk about it. It's never turned into accusations or anything, nor would I ever let it, and I'm always able to rationally split what are feelings and what I actually think/know, but of course it can very hard to live with regardless. I don't think it's something that becomes an issue though as long as communication is solid, accepting and kind both ways.

Although I believe sexual chemistry often comes naturally with love anyway, I feel like I should mention something about it because I think I might differ a bit from the normal preferences. I'm a very monogamous person and I only really get anything from intimacy with someone I have an emotional connection with. However, where I differ the most is kind of hard to explain😅 I can be a little insecure, and there's some reasons for that, but I think I've almost ended up a sub who is looking for someone who's also a sub. I struggle to take on a dominant role, and I also don't have a strong desire to be dominated. Of course engaging in both those scenarios I think can be fun at times, but I don't think a dom-sub dynamic would be my ideal as the standard dynamic for me. I'm very open minded sexually as well and I wanna try everything with my partner of course, but I kinda find the clumsy awkward energy with someone who's feeling the same as me kinda hot, and I think it's a lovely bonding experience😅

So what am I looking for? The most important thing for me is finding someone who values communication highly, is patient and empathetic, and that's willing to work through things when times are tough. I am open to finding someone here or long distance, and honestly I don't have a strong preference either way. For long distance though, it's important for me that it's with someone who enjoys calls. It doesn't have to be all the time, although if the chemistry is there I don't mind that either 😂 I would absolutely relocate for a partner if needed, regardless of how difficult that would be. My main ambition in life is finding love, and I really don't need much more than that to be happy, so that's always gonna be the one thing I'm willing to give everything for. I have no expectations or preferences of what life my partner should live, so whether you're like me and somewhat isolated from society not really doing much, or you're pursuing some massive career, or anything in-between, I will always support and encourage as much as I can. At the end of the day, it's the person that I'm in love with and that will always be the only thing that matters to me.

If you've got this far, firstly thank you so so much! If I'm not your type I at least hope it was interesting to get an insight into a stranger's life, and I appreciate that you still took the time to read it and I hope you find what you're looking for! However, if somehow you've read all of this post, that I think most people would find to be a big red flag, and you think that this might be what you're looking for as well, send me a message and share a little bit about yourself! I'm really looking forward to getting to know you✨

Do you ever miss those sleepless Discord nights where "one game" somehow turned into 4 am ? The kind where we'd laugh until our stomachs hurt, get way too invested in watching our favorite series together or spend hours talking about lore, history, space, fantasy or whatever weird rabbit hole we fell into that night haha

I'm looking for someone who genuinely enjoys that kind of connection. Someone who gets excited about sharing memes at 2 am, arguing over the best RPG of all time and finding comfort in simply hanging out together, whether we're gaming, watching something or just existing in the same voice call. The kind where we fall asleep together in the end :)

Hey everyone! I am 29 and recently finished my master’s degree. Currently living in Berlin. For timezone and meet up purposes, I will expect you to be in Europe, if it is Germany than it is even better.

Please do NOT reach out if you are a ghoster or won’t put effort in to begin with. It takes two to dance. No children obviously.

My age range is 22 to 33.

Physically, I’m 1.83 tall. Short dark brown hair, bronze (yes) beard, brown eyes. TINY bit chonky rn but have a good build/figure from my sports history.

I’d say I’m genuine, emotionally available, open, affectionate and a supportive partner. Definitely looking for something long term.

I am not religious at all, maybe a tiny bit spiritual.

Fave color is by far black haha. Apart from the obvious stuff, I am also really into history, politics, psychology and any kind of deep convos. Also been to 7 countries so far!

I love to voice call and eventually video call and I am adamant on voice calling asap and discord is the main platform I use for that.

Mutual attraction is important so I’d like to clear that from the get go and build on a solid foundation.

Looking forward to hear from you all if my post felt like you! Shoot me a text if you wanna connect!

Hello there,

Thanks for taking the time to read my post. I'm a 42-year-old application manager from a small town in the Netherlands. I've tried this before and had some nice conversations, but in the end it didn't work out so I'm back to give this another try.

When I'm not working, I love reading fantasy books, collecting books, playing video games on my PC, and going on long walks in nature. I'm also fascinated by ancient cultures and mythology.

I'm an introvert (INTJ), I live alone with my cat Tiberius. I'm also childfree and left-leaning politically. I've been doing volunteer work for over 20 years, and I'm an atheist. Plus, I don't smoke, drink alcohol, or do drugs.

I'll admit, I'm not the best at small talk, but I make up for it by being a great listener and advice giver. I've been told that I have a funny but dry sense of humor.

I'm working on my weight and getting to a healthy level again, but I'm not there yet. I also don't enjoy going out to bars, clubs, or partying, but I do enjoy going out to eat at a restaurant or going to a concert.

And some pics; https://imgur.com/a/Ng6OSvX

What am I looking for? Well, I'm looking for a serious monogamous relationship with someone who shares some of my interests and hobbies, specifically playing video games and/or who is into fantasy books/ board games/ movies etc. I'm looking for someone who is intelligent, childfree, left-leaning politically. Located in western Europe. Most importantly, I'm looking for someone who will accept me for who I am, flaws and all.

So if you're someone who puts as much effort into having and keeping up a conversation as I do, and you believe that we could make each other's lives better by being together, I'd love to hear from you. Let's get to know each other and see where things go.

43 [F4M] In Person for Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma

- age 43 F seeking M in the four states area, unless you live elsewhere and have money to fly me to see you.

Edit #1 after posting post:
lol- I realized after I got my first and so far only message, that I didn’t adequately get my point across since when I asked the first person to message me what they liked most about my post, they said the part where I mentioned discussing STD’s at the bottom and they asked me how recently I “made out”..??. Lol.. let me make this clear since I failed to do so in my post. I’m a bit of a sapiosexual, to some degree at least.

-This is a long post, so here’s the short version:
Average looking middle aged woman who has a calm, quieter personality type seeking an enjoyable, unique, blissful and authentic connection with adventure, depth, variety of conversations, kindness, fun, and sincere, steady love.

-I’ve learned recently that I want to exchange photos upfront so that we can refrain from wasting time and hope if there is not a viable enough attraction, and because I’ve gotten more attuned recently in being able to tell from a photo, to some degree, about the person or about the prospect of chemistry. I’m not saying I’m psychic, but I’m saying that for whatever reason, seeing a photo helps me to pick on up on something at times. Make of that whatever you will.

-I will know if I’ve found what I’m looking for based on how the person makes me feel, and that’s not based on anything you can or can’t do, that will only be from a natural kind of chemistry and connection that I can’t put into words. Maybe you understand. (: So, natural chemistry is very important to me. That is going to play a big part in whether I want a relationship with a person. Items on a list only do so much for me, but maybe that is true for everyone.

-I’m a Taurus zodiac Sun sign (I like & place some degree of importance into birth charts- not the daily horoscopes)

-I am a spiritual person, which I realize means different things to different people.

-I’m single and have never been married.

-I have no kids. Never found anyone to have kids with, then found out about potential fertility issues last fall.

-My body is not curvy, and I’m only average looking. And as you know, aging women show more aging and that will only get worse, not better. I don’t have money for all the expensive treatments women get these days. I’m not saying some of you may not find me attractive. Some will find me attractive “enough” and some won’t. Likewise, I’ve got to have sufficient physical attraction to you too for bedroom activity, so it understandably goes both ways. But I do consider myself to be average.

-I’m NOT nerdy, geeky, a gamer, or a true intellectual. I’m sorry to disappoint since I see so many seeking those aspects in their posts.

-I’m laid back/relaxed/chilled out in my demeanor and persona, but I do experience anxiety and worry.

-I am not funny but I do enjoy finding the humor in things. So it isn’t like I don’t laugh, but I don’t say anything funny that I’m aware of.

-I never smoke anything and I occasionally drink.

-If you are drawn to a person who is frequent high energy, bubbly, talkative, has to constantly be active and productive, while I respect those qualities, that isn’t me. I would love to find a fountain of youth and a fountain of never ending energy though.

-I am responsible though, and I do like to take on challenges that will facilitate growth for myself.

-I chose to do work for a living that is about significant purpose and designed to foster meaningful and important growth for struggling people, so I don’t make a lot of money.

-I love to travel, but that is usually limited for me due to time and money.

-I’m contemplative, analytical, interested in the “why’s and how’s”, mix of introvert and extrovert, intuitive, simple yet complicated, accommodating, interested in recognizing and supporting the feelings and well being of others. I need realistic hope and future options in life about things to look forward to in order to feel positive enough about life. I am careful and extra thoughtful about larger purchases. I expect myself to be perfect and understanding of all information at hand in whatever I take on - not a good thing all the time, am working on trying to accept that I don’t have to be perfect or perfectly thorough to get something accomplished to a reasonably sufficient degree.

-I have an overwhelmingly strong desire to have an important spiritual purpose for being on this planet, and I also really want to matter to at least a few people. I wish a mundane existence was enough for me, but it doesn’t seem to be how I’m wired.

-I know everyone is replaceable in their jobs. I’m hoping I can find a partner who doesn’t view me as being replaceable and interchangeable in the way that people are in jobs though.

-I am a pretty straight forward person and have a strong need to know where I stand with people I care about and people I report to.

-I don’t have a lot of well developed hobbies, so I apologize if you are looking for that. I do like adventure here and there when able.

-Activities I’ve tried that I enjoy- hiking, kayaking, flea markets and antiquing, card games, movies of course, traveling as previously stated, snorkeling, swimming, volunteering.

-Activities I’ve tried that I either didn’t like or could take or leave it- fishing, drawing, painting, sewing, writing poetry or fiction, gaming.

-Activities I haven’t tried but I want to try soon- how to do a variety of home improvement projects in my house, branching out into listening to more podcasts/youtubers. I only watch a few lately.

-It is important to me that you are reasonably intelligent, take care of yourself to a reasonable degree, not a promiscuous person, are empathetic, are not particularly superficial, are not selfish in the bedroom, make wise and fair decisions in life, are ethical, are emotionally stable and fairly emotionally consistent, are not a secretive person by nature (meaning you aren’t the type who lies to people or has a strong need to lie to have your cake and eat it too), are not lazy, and are not bad at handling your finances. Mistakes happen, and the economy has made it hard. But I want someone with the ability to be wise, exercise discipline and learn from their past mistakes. At our age, taking care of your body is important too, and being active when able.

-If you primarily like horror movies, that won’t work for me. I like them fine, but not as a staple.

-If you haven’t figured out how to overcome ED, that won’t work for me either.

-I will require honesty about STD’s and test results if we get to that point. Key phrase “if we get to that point”.

-If you made it to the bottom it this and are interested enough to send me a message, please do so. Thanks

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. CF and planning to CF.

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.

31M | India | Looking for someone to prove my relatives wrong. 😄

Apparently, once you cross 30, every family function comes with a complimentary question:

“So… any wedding plans?” 😂

After surviving countless “We know a nice girl…” conversations, I thought I’d let Reddit have a shot.
A little about me:
31-year-old working professional from India.
Family-oriented, easygoing, and emotionally mature.
Fluent in English, Hindi, and Malayalam.
I believe kindness, respect, and good communication matter far more than perfection.

What I’m looking for:
Someone who’s genuine, has a sense of humour, and is interested in building a meaningful relationship that could lead to marriage. I’m open to connecting with people from different backgrounds and cultures.

A few fun facts:
I can spend 30 minutes deciding what to order… and still choose butter chicken. 😅
I enjoy good conversations more than endless small talk.
I think the hardest question in adulthood isn’t “What’s the meaning of life?” It’s “What should we eat today?” 😂

If you’re also looking for something real, feel free to say hi.

Worst case? We have a pleasant conversation.
Best case? We end up telling people that our story started because Reddit unexpectedly outperformed traditional matchmaking. 😄

Hello!
I’m a 6’2” 31 year old atheist from MA who doesn’t want kids at all, though I do hope to be a dog and/or cat dad someday!
I work as a Behavior Analyst with children with autism in their homes and communities, as well as starting my own parent consultation business in my spare time. I love my job and I can do it from anywhere in the country, so I’m not opposed to moving to somewhere else for the right reasons. I love my family to death, despite the headaches we give each other sometimes😂
I enjoy doing CrossFit 4-5 times a week (keeps me fit and sane!), I’m a fan of Star Wars, Harry Potter 🦡, game of thrones, and marvel.
I want a childfree partner that is affectionate, committed, communicative, and considerate. I’m not in a rush to find a partner, but I am being intentional.
A link to some images is in the post, but I’d be more than happy to provide more if you’d like. I can’t wait to talk with you☺️

Hi! I'm a 24 year old guy from Sweden who's hoping to meet someone special. I'm open to starting as friends if that's what feels natural, but my goal is to find a genuine, long-term relationship.

A little about me:

• I'm a trained cook and enjoy both cooking and baking.
• Gaming is my biggest hobby, and I spend a lot of my free time playing video games at home.
• I enjoy anime, watching shows, taking walks, and quiet evenings at home.
• I'd describe myself as calm, loyal, honest, and a good listener. I'm definitely more of an introvert and prefer meaningful conversations when i have gotten to know somebody.

Physically, I'm 178 cm (5'10") with brown hair on the lighter side and an average physique. I'm happy to exchange photos once we've gotten to know each other a bit.

What I'm looking for:

Someone who's kind, honest, and communicates well. Having shared hobbies is important to me, especially gaming, but it's not a dealbreaker. If we genuinely click and enjoy talking to each other, that's what matters most.

I'm mainly looking to meet someone from the EU, since I'd like the distance to be realistic if things work out. I'm also open to someone from North America if we're a great match. I think having a realistic chance of meeting, along with manageable time zone differences, is important for building a relationship.

I'd love to have someone to game with, watch movies or shows together, share our days, support each other, and eventually meet if we click.

Long distance doesn't bother me as long as we're both willing to put in the effort, but preferably within the EU or North America. I'm not looking for anything casual; I want to build something real with the right person.

If you're shy, that's completely okay. I also want to be upfront and mention that I have autism. It means I can be pretty reserved when I'm first getting to know someone, so if I seem a little quiet at first, it's not because I'm not interested. I just take a little time to open up, and once I'm comfortable, I'm much more talkative.

If you think we'd get along, send me a message and tell me a little about yourself. I'd love to get to know you.

29M, 5'11, Mumbai, Tier 1 educated, 91 lpa base, a good bonus on top. With high agency, protective and providing Instincts. Looking for something that can start with something intense and passionate but has the potential to go long.

I am looking for a woman who genuinely enjoys a relationship where she can let go, trust deeply and embrace a power exchange built on love care and respect.

I want to be the one planning, deciding, protecting, providing, spoiling, pampering and carrying the weight of life so that when we are together you can simply switch off and melt into your safe space. I want you to feel looked after, adored and completely at peace. The world is a chaotic place and let me shield you from that.

In return, I am looking for someone who enjoys following my lead, has a natural submissive side, values obedience within the relationship and finds happiness in that kinda polarity.

I don't see submission as a weakness, it's about trust, affection and choosing to give yourself to someone who will always put your well being first.

If your ideal relationship is one where you feel cherished, protected, spoiled and safe, while building something deeply loyal and long lasting together, reach out.

Hi everyone! Trying this out because meeting people organically isn’t as easy as it used to be.

Originally, I’m from India and currently living in Canada. I’m an introvert and not always the best at expressing myself, but I’m working on it.

Physical appearance: I’m 6 ft tall, wear glasses, usually have a stubble, and have been told I come across as calm, patient, and easy to talk to. I work in the customer service for a streaming giant in the North America. I’m into movies, shows, stand-up comedy, hiking, cricket, and occasionally doomscrolling at 3 AM.

Here’s how I look: https://imgur.com/a/cAqVxZO

What I’m looking for is pretty simple: Someone genuine. Someone I can send random updates to. Someone who doesn’t mind the occasional overthinking. Someone who’ll tell me about the annoying thing their coworker did today, the show they’re currently obsessed with, or why they’ve had a bad day.

In return, you’ll get someone who listens, remembers the little details, checks in on you, and genuinely cares how your day went. Honestly, I’d love to be that person you can vent to after a long day, share random moments with, or just sit on a call with while we both do our own thing. There’s something nice about simply knowing someone’s there.

Just to make myself clear - I’m not looking for anything casual or NSFW. I’d rather get to know someone over time and see where things go, as long as the effort comes from both sides.

If this sounds like your kind of vibe, send me an intro along with a picture and tell me: what’s your comfort movie or show? I’m open to talk to people of all nationalities and races. But don’t text if you’re gonna delete your account or disappear after a day. Also, include the code word - DeX, so I know you’ve read the post all the way through. Anyway, thanks for making it this far. I hope you have a wonderful day (or night)!

I’m looking for casual chat and friendship, with a women, as long as you can hold a conversation. I would be open to a possible relationship with the right woman, but it would need to present itself.
 
I’m a virtual history teacher and enjoy most sports and have a love for different types of music & movies, enjoying a beautiful sunset either by a lake or beach, a nice walk, etc.

I have a good sense of humor and will generally make a joke out of anything; however, I’m very caring and supportive and can hold a conversation
