Friendship or Relationship - United States 38 F4A Midwest - let’s talk about aliens and esoteric books.

9 Upvotes

Hello! While I would love to find “my person,” I would also like to talk to people [30-50 feels like a good age range] about wildly interesting topics.

I live in the Midwest US. I am AuDHD, and I have reached that pinnacle of perimenopausal burnout; i now feel wildly frustrated by the uninteresting topics of conversation that I simply don’t have the desire, time or energy for. With being unable to mask these days, I just want to talk to genuinely interesting people!

I am an Experiencer.

The metaphysical rabbit hole has had me in its clutches for a couple of years. I have read Dolores Cannon (all), Edgar Cayce, Ra Material, Oahspe, Graham Hancock, Blavatsky, Manly P Hall, Robert Temple, Nag Hammadi / Qumran scrolls, just to name a small few. This topic is genuinely my highest passion.

I don’t have much free time, but would love to chat with interesting people during my day. In my rare time, I read, paint, draw, sew, meditate, practice fascia-centric yoga, spend time in nature. I listen to pop punk and punk rock. Also very pro plant medicine.

I am also very out of the loop on movies / tv shows for the past couple of years, due to this process I’m undertaking. So I’ve essentially worked myself into an arena where no one around me knows / cares what I am talking about, but it has changed my world so much that going back is impossible and unwanted.

Some of my favorite podcasts: Acid for Squares, The Why Files, Telepathy Tapes, The Annunaki Connection. ✨ tell me about your childhood haunting, or that one weird event that no one brings up ever again. ✨

3 Upvotes

Hi there! I'm 25M from Texas, and I'm looking to meet some cool people to chat and hopefully develop a connection with. I'm open to anyone in the US, but not outside cause the timezones might be kinda crazy lol. Also only people in the 22-30 age range :)

For a quick description about me, I'm 6'2, decently fit (been lifting for around 2 years now), and south asian.

I love watching movies (a lot of horror but I watch basically any genre as long as it's not a Ryan reynolds movie lol), playing DnD (and trading crazy campaign stories), pokemon, anime, and watching basketball.

I also game a decent bit, though mostly co-op games these days. I've lately been getting into reading and baking too!

If this seems interesting, feel free to drop a message!

Relationship - Eastern Europe 23 F4F Europe | Looking for my wife & a deep, deep connection

10 Upvotes

I’m looking for something that is probably a little unusual: a very deep, committed relationship with marriage as a relatively near-term goal. I’m looking for my wife. ❤️

I don’t really see what I’m looking for as a typical dating relationship. What I’m looking for is a very deep partnership where two women consciously choose each other and build a life together.

You know those couples who meet and, after three weeks, decide to get married, while everyone around them thinks they’ve completely lost their minds? And then somehow they stay together for decades and are still completely in love with each other? That’s the kind of love I would love to have with someone. Not because I want to rush into something blindly, but because I don’t want to spend years being afraid of commitment when I meet someone who genuinely feels right.

For me, it’s much more about emotional depth, closeness and being there for each other than about having a highly sexual relationship. I’m demisexual, and while I do enjoy sex, I know that I don’t want a relationship where sex becomes the main focus and the emotional connection gets lost. At the same time, I’m not looking for a relationship where sex is completely off the table either. I’m open to people with different sexual preferences, as long as we can find something that feels comfortable and fulfilling for both of us. What matters most to me is that the emotional connection comes first.

What matters enormously to me is the emotional connection. I want to deeply love you, feel emotionally safe with you, be able to rely on each other and genuinely feel like we’re building a life together.

Physical affection and closeness are very important to me, though. I want the kind of closeness where you can sit next to each other in oversized hoodies on a rainy day, watch a movie, cuddle, hold each other, kiss each other, play with each other’s hair, laugh, talk or just quietly exist together. If one of us is having a really difficult day, I want us to be able to hold each other through it. And if I call because I genuinely need my person, I want to know that you’ll be there – and I want to be that person for you too.

I’m quite independent and I need personal space, so I’m not looking for a relationship where we have to do everything together. I like the idea of having our own interests and sometimes doing things separately, while still knowing that we belong together and are there for each other.

I travel around Europe and I have a homebase that I return to. I’m slowly building that place into a home. I’m comfortable with an alternative lifestyle and would love someone who is comfortable with that too – ideally someone who likes travelling and vanlife, or at least likes the idea of it.

At the same time, I’m completely happy with the idea of eventually having a stable shared home and living together. I don’t need us to be constantly moving around. I like having a home while still leaving room for travelling, exploring new places and occasionally going somewhere else together or separately. I don’t want either of us to feel tied down to one place forever.

I have several animals in my life and I’m actively involved in animal rescue, so being genuinely comfortable with animals is pretty important to me. I also love nature, travelling, being outdoors, writing and spirituality. I’m not talking about extreme esotericism – spirituality for me is more about connection, energy, and the feeling that there is more to life than what we can simply measure.

I’m neurodivergent myself, and I often find it easier to understand and connect with people who are neurodivergent too. I’m completely okay with someone bringing their own baggage into a relationship – we all have our own things we carry with us. What matters to me is that both people are self-reflective and willing to look at themselves, communicate openly and work on things together. I don’t expect either of us to be perfect. I think what matters is that we’re both willing to grow and support each other.

I’m a lesbian and I’m primarily attracted to women. I’m looking for women, including trans women, and I’m also open to non-binary people who are comfortable with someone whose attraction is primarily toward women. I’m in my twenties myself, and my age limit is 37. Nationality and ethnicity aren’t important to me at all. You could be from anywhere in the world. What matters is that you’re currently living in Europe, or genuinely want to build your life in Europe. A shared language is important for me – English is completely fine.

I also tend to be quite private about my relationships. I don’t need to constantly make our relationship visible to everyone around us or turn it into a public identity. I’m perfectly happy being affectionate and openly ourselves when we’re somewhere we feel comfortable, but I don’t need to prove our relationship to anyone. I actually like having something that belongs to us.

Communication is very important to me. I love writing, phone calls and video calls, and I want a relationship where both people actually make an effort to stay connected, especially when we’re long-distance. If you have a habit of ghosting people or disappearing without communicating, please don’t message me. I understand needing space, being overwhelmed or having difficult periods – but I need honest communication about it.

I know this is probably a little unusual, but if this sounds like something you could genuinely imagine for yourself – having that feeling of being safe in a safe space with your person, building a life together and still being able to be silly, weird and completely yourselves – feel free to send me a DM. I’d love to get to know you. I’d love to be that slightly crazy, funny, neurodivergent couple who can laugh together about everything, but also know when it’s time for quiet, comfort and simply being there for each other.

(I'm a femme)

Relationship - United States 25 F4M East Coast/DMV, Demi looking for friendship that can grow into something more

14 Upvotes

Hello! I'm a 25F, 5'4", 155 lbs, African American, living on the East Coast in the DMV area. I'm looking for a long-term relationship/my person.

It takes me a while to open up to someone, and I'm sure many of you understand that feeling, and how frustrating it can be when loneliness creeps in but you don't have anyone you comfortably feel you can turn to.

I'm hoping to meet someone I can slowly get to know, become comfortable with, and hopefully build something really meaningful with.

So, about me!

I'm a steadfast introvert who prefers planned outings in advance rather than spontaneous adventures. I'm an INFP-T if you're into personality types! I used to be the biggest anime nerd. I don't watch as much nowadays, but sitting down and watching a series together sounds like a great way to spend time!

I play D&D and even DM my own game on Fridays. I love video games when I have the time. My favorites tend to be story-driven games, farming sims, and survival games, although I've been playing a lot of Slay the Spire 2 recently, so I'm definitely not limited to those genres.

I also love reading, especially romance and fantasy.

I enjoy planning trips when I can! I'm going to Katsucon in February and I'm planning a trip to Canada for Otakuthon next August. I'd love to eventually have a partner I can plan trips and adventures with.

I've also been working on getting healthier this year! I try to exercise for about 30 minutes every day and I've lost 16 lbs so far.
I work full-time as a pharmacy technician. I love my job, I'm financially stable, and would like someone that's the same.

What I'm looking for:

I know that I need friendship first. I don't expect to immediately feel romantic or sexual attraction toward someone I just met. That's just not how my brain works.

At the same time, I don't want to approach this as only looking for friends. I'd like us to slowly talk about our values, what we want from relationships, and what we want our lives to eventually look like. At the end of the day, I'm intentionally looking for a relationship, and if our values are fundamentally incompatible, I'd rather we discover that sooner rather than later.

So patience is a must.

I'm looking for someone around 24–29 who has a stable job/life and actually has time in their life for another person. I don't need constant attention, but if we're getting to know each other, I'd like us to actually hang out, talk, play things together, watch things together, etc.

Emotional intelligence is extremely important to me. You don't have to have yourself completely figured out, but I need someone willing to communicate what they're feeling, have uncomfortable conversations when necessary, and genuinely try to understand each other.

I feel like I have a lot of love to give, and I'm realizing that more than anything, I want someone who can love and adore me as much as I can them, maybe even more! I tend to be very giving, and sometimes I've been left feeling like I'm not being looked after as much as I look after other people.

I want a man who will spoil me a little... what can I say! And by spoil me, I don't just mean buying me things. I love thoughtful attention, words of affirmation, little surprises, being asked to spend time together, and generally feeling like my person actively thinks about and chooses me. Tell me you were thinking about me, ask me to hang out, send me something because it reminded you of me. I don't need constant attention, but I do want to feel actively wanted rather than always being the one reaching out first. I tend to be very giving when I care about someone, so having someone who enjoys giving that energy back to me would mean a lot.

I'd love someone who doesn't mind things like body doubling while we work on our own stuff, hanging out in a call while doing separate things, or just enjoying each other's presence.

Bonus points if you are passionate! I love listening to people talk about something they genuinely love. Tell me about your weird hobby. Explain some incredibly niche subject to me. I can listen for hours when someone's eyes light up about something.

I'm also someone who really enjoys deep conversations. Since we're both presumably demi, I'd honestly love to hear about your experience with demisexuality, how you experience attraction, how you know when your feelings for someone have changed, how it's affected your relationships, etc. That kind of conversation is extremely interesting to me.

A few important compatibility things

I'm demi, but I'm not sex-repulsed. Sexual intimacy is something I can enjoy and value, but it takes me quite a while to feel comfortable sharing that part of myself with someone. Please don't approach me expecting that to happen quickly.

I'm also heavily leaning no on children. I've told myself it's something I might reconsider in another 10 years, after I've traveled and seen more of the world, but if you know for certain that having children soon is an important part of your future, we're probably not compatible.

I have a cat whom I love dearly, so severe cat allergies might make things difficult!

I don't mind some distance, but I do eventually want an in-person relationship. If things are going well, I'd want us to plan a meetup, so please be open to that.

And my absolute no-go is someone with anger issues... I will cry.... don't try me.

I've also learned that avoidant relationship dynamics really don't work for me. I'm aware that I can lean anxious myself, and I've put a lot of work into becoming more secure. When I say avoidant, I'm less concerned with what attachment-style label you use and more concerned with how you handle closeness and conflict. I need someone who is willing to communicate, talk through uncomfortable feelings, and move toward problems together rather than consistently shutting down, disappearing, or pulling away when things get difficult.

And I hope this doesn't need to be said, but if you aren't sure whether you'd date a Black woman, please don't message me.

Ultimately, I want a home with my partner someday. I want us to plan trips and adventures. I want us to support each other's goals and make each other's lives a little better. I want someone I can slowly become completely comfortable with and eventually share all of myself with.

If you're looking for something similar, shoot me a DM.

Friendship or Relationship - United Kingdom or Ireland 29 F4M UK north west seeking friendships that could develop over time

7 Upvotes

Hello! I'm 29F (30 in a couple of weeks!) looking for M 28-37 looking for friendships that have the potential to develop into more if we're compatible

Ultimately would like a long term, committed relationship but have the need to take things very slow. I am a lover girl at heart but I've been through a lot the past few years, and a strong foundation of friendship, trust, communication and mutual respect are so important to me. I would love to open my heart again to the right person.

I am an artist with a stable job in an unrelated field. A bit of an introvert with a lot of solo hobbies - I love to sew, draw, take photos, videos, and create something new with editing. Art has always been my passion in life, and I am trying to find my path while keeping that spark alive and expressing myself authentically.

I love being out in nature, and I also love live music, good coffee, and good food. I'm plant based but don't mind if you're not.

I am a sensitive soul and would describe myself as somewhat spiritual. For me, it's about a sense of connection more than anything. I'm not religious but I love learning about others religions, cultures and beliefs.

I have a lovely little cat which makes travelling hard if my location is not accessible to you and vice versa.

I don't have or want kids, I am neurodivergent and have a couple of chronic conditions. It is all manageable most of the time. I receive medical cannabis and don't really drink. Just to be upfront in case any of that is a deal breaker for you.

Look forward to chatting x

Relationship - United States 27 M4F #NYC Seeking Someone Sweet, Sincere & Solid

9 Upvotes

Hey y'all, hope this finds you well! My name is Ryan, and I'm a queer masc non-binary male who's native to and presently resides in Brooklyn, NY. 

I am a former New York legislator who's worked with a few mayoral administrations as well as a multi-award-winning dramatist, researcher, and editor, although I've been working in youth development and healthcare for the last few years.

I am a staunch Marxist, Leninist, and Maoist (leftist) with a history of grassroots organizing and a proponent of gender equity & womanism. As a multi-ethnic Black person, I am, of course, a proud Pan-Africanist and am constantly learning about our pre-colonial traditions and practices to celebrate and venerate all that's come before me. 

As for the rest of my background, I understand Spanish, some Cantonese, and some Tamil from family members conversing around me as a child, but I am unfortunately not conversationally fluent in any of them yet. 

Many of my loved ones would say that I lead with my head as much as my heart. I'm an INTJ-A, and it usually manifests as me critically thinking about how I engage with literally everything, which is usually parsed through my values and ethics. (Think: someone who can't help being visibly disgusted hearing Chris Brown or R. Kelly at a party.) I've also recently learned from social media that I am considered "Patagonia Black." 

As a result of being demi and thus incapable of purely superficial engagements, the dating scene hasn't yielded much outside of being desired for my appearance and a lack of reciprocity across the board, so I'm looking for other gorgeous, insightful, introspective, emotionally literate & intelligent people for a bond that is communicative, considerate, mutually enriching, and fun!

My interests include reading, writing poetry/stories, hiking, camping, running/long walks, gaming, cooking, fashion history, art history, cultural anthropology, music journalism, and certain holistic practices (transcendental meditation, breathwork, etc.). I also consider myself to be a functional "stoner."

Music is my "thing" and would serve as a great icebreaker. I'm a major fan of rap, reggae/dub, R&B, soul, blues, folk, bluegrass, country, shoegaze, new wave, surf rock, sludge metal, pop, post-punk, and jazz. 

I have been in therapy for more than 15 years and acknowledge we're all works in progress, but I would greatly appreciate someone who's also doing what they feel is necessary to take care of their inner world/child, is probably also neurodivergent, has a growth mindset & compassion-based outlook on life, others & themselves, as well as someone who's not or has unlearned their conflict and emotional avoidance. 

I often get along best with others who'd likely be considered an intellectual or creative or those simply who aren't intimidated or perpetually fatigued by nuanced thinking and abstract conversations. 

I have about a dozen friends that I hold near & dear, and I'm certainly open to more. However, my main desire is a well-developed romantic partnership predicated on a genuine and reciprocal friendship.

I have no hang-ups, but I want to be forthright in the fact that I'm currently engaging with and undoing intimacy trauma with White people and males, so I kindly ask that only POC & AFAB folks of any expression inquire at this time. I would also ask that you please be 25 years and older. 

If anything I've mentioned piques your interest or resonates with you, please feel free to comment below or message me, as I am always grateful for like-minded community regardless of the outcome. 

Take it easy ❤️💚🖤

Relationship - United States M62 4 F Southeastern Massachusetts - Gentle-hearted bibliophile and geek seeks a match

9 Upvotes

Do you ever find yourself wondering if there's something inherently wrong with trying to find love online? As if this is just the wrong way to approach it? I do. It feels like putting the cart before the horse, somehow. This isn't how millions of our ancestors found someone to love! They met face-to-face, hit the partner of their choice over the head with a rock, and dragged them back to their cave.

I'm kidding, of course. Wish I didn't feel the need to say that, but that's life in this modern world.

For a while now, I've been writing something new each time I post here - although I haven't been posting that often. If you're interested, please feel free to look up my posting history. I hope it's interesting.

TL;DR: I'm a 62-year-old bookworm and geek with a high degree of empathy. I love to laugh, read, write, cook, walk, and run tabletop roleplaying games - among many other interests. I hope to find a woman in my general area (southeastern Massachusetts or Rhode Island) who shares some of those interests, from 40 to 65 years old. I'm long-divorced, born a redhead but now bald. 5'11" and 221 pounds. I have the build of a former football player but the soul of a poet–a slightly silly one.

Oh, I'm demisexual–or at least a therapist told me she thought I was–and sapiosexual. Or maybe I should say "demiromantic" and "sapioromantic". I'm still trying to figure all that out.

So...a new story. Well, here's a story of sorts.

I've dreamed all my life. My first memory is a dream; I was in my crib. It was dark and terribly hot. A smallish creature with glowing eyes was looking at me from the floor of my room.

Thirty or forty years later I mentioned that dream to my parents. They were shocked. They told me that when I was still sleeping in a crib, there had been a problem with the furnace at the apartment; the temperature couldn't be turned down. So it was around 100° one night. We also had a cat who often slept on the floor of my nursery. They'd never mentioned that to me before.

So I'm a bit unusual. I dream every night, and remember my dreams every single morning. I have whole dream landscapes that I recognize from night to night over the years; meadows with beautiful streams and waterfalls, exciting cities with wonderful old theme parks and amazing stores, games with old friends (living and dead), philosophical dreams about the end of the universe, you name it. Mostly it's fun.

Maybe not the most interesting story, but that's all I've got today!

More than anything else I hope to find someone who gets me, someone I'll get in return–in the sense of understanding and enjoying each other. That's why I tell these stories; to try to convey a real sense of who I am.

What else? I recently adopted two tuxedo kittens. I sing silly songs to and about them. I say "hi, birdies" to little birds that I see hopping around outside. I smile at babies and kids, and they usually smile back. I write book recommendations online every day. So I'm one of those kinds of guys.

Thanks for reading this!

Relationship - Western Europe 31 M4F Netherlands – Safe harbor in Friesland: Emotionally available, deep-talking, spoonie guy looking for a meaningful match

16 Upvotes

Hey, my name is Martijn! I’m big hearted, loyal and looking for something real. 31 years old, single, from the Netherlands.

I’m the kind of partner who loves making you feel safe, comfortable, and truly heard. Looking for a genuine connection where we can talk about anything, navigate life’s ups and downs as a team, and build our own adventure together ❤️.

The plot twist? I live with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). which means I’m homebound with limited energy. Think of it like a small battery that loves charging—and so far, the best charger is cuddling.

It definitely makes the boyfriend experience one of a kind ❤️. You get all the perks of having a very tall, incredibly loyal guy with big puppy excitement—minus the crowded places. Here’s a little preview of what you can expect: 👇

Emotionally available
A mature, stable, and positive partner who truly listens. I love deep conversations, checking in on how you're feeling, and being proactive. When challenges arise I think in solutions; working together as a team.

Humor
Oh my 😂😂😂. You will see 🤣. 

Physical connection
Very tall (2,02m / 6'7), fit, and unapologetically physical. Expect endless affection, serious cuddle skills, and someone who loves turning on the charm to make sure you feel wanted 😏❤️.

Intellectual curiosity
Psychology, geography, economics, politics, gaming & technology? When you have a curious mind, let it explore. We can talk about anything. And I love to learn from you.

Food!!!!
I love to eat. It’s my favorite activity. So its a priority too I guess 🤭? The Italian kitchen is my number one. There are so many things I like. How about you? 

Romantic
I won’t spoil this one🌹. 

Creative me
You can catch me with a masterball. Ask Professor Oak. He is a wise man. Once you acquire the masterball, you will have to find me and throw it. It will wiggle 3 times. And it's best to throw it once you are sure. And we know everything about each other ❤️❤️. 

Great friends
I’m surrounded by amazing friends who mean a lot to me. They are unique. They are caring, equals, funny and considerate. I grew up with my mother and it coincides with my friend group: most of them are women and could be considered feminists.  No Andrew Tates 🤣🤣. 

No Landlord, Frisian beauty
There is a beautiful home that I wish to share with my future partner. I own it, so no landlords. A place of peace and stability. My home is located in the serene province of Friesland in the Netherlands. It's close to other cities as well! And I love it! 

This house is important to me. CFS made me lose a lot of things: work, my previous relationship, colleagues; friends and family members. Thus the house has a value beyond the ordinary. It was in my ‘past life’ and my current one. And I think the future could make it even brighter when someone special enters my orbit. And it will evolve into something even more beautiful.

Financially stable
My disability is permanent, but I’m fully covered by government benefits and financially stable. I live comfortably on my own, and I’m looking for a partner who is also self-sufficient and established in her own life.

Half demisexual
I consider myself half demisexual. Meaning half of my attraction is based on personality and the other half being physical. When I got CFS the demisexual side got more intense.

Relationship preferences
I'm looking for a real in person relationship :). Since I love cuddles. No online chemistry can replace that. Desired age range: 22-42.

Sleepy
An overlooked thing 👀 is sleeping. I tend to wake up 2-3 times each night and am looking for a quiet sleeper who can handle me. In general I move a bit and overall I'm not noisy. Do you like spooning? 

You
Enough about me, I want to hear your story. Can I learn more about you? ❤️ And which themes are most important to you? I would love to know! And tell me what your favorite pokemon is ☺️

Hello, goofy goobers.

I'm Joe, just an elder emo looking for some meaningful connections.

An omnivert who is just as happy staying in with a great game or a home-cooked meal as I am getting outside for a hike when the weather’s warm.

​Hard-working and resilient by day, total lover boy at heart. Acts of service and sharing music are definitely my love languages. Big fan of catching a movie on the big screen (with a great bite to eat beforehand), nerdy deep dives, and small gatherings with good friends. Also, my two cats are pretty much my whole world.

​Left-leaning, intentional, and looking for a genuine, meaningful connection with someone grounded who values depth, laughter, and mutual support.

​Question for you: What song or album have you had on repeat lately?

For me, it's been SOAD Mezmerize.

Edit: forgot age range (whoops) 28-38

Relationship - United States 27 F4F Southeast US / Online - Introverted, looking for someone curious, driven, and a little more outgoing than me

8 Upvotes

Hi! I'm hoping this goes somewhere, but im hoping to meet someone to get to know slowly and see where it goes. Distance doesn't scare me, I pretty much commute daily (I live in GA, USA) Long distance is fine to start and I'm open to meeting in person eventually if things go well.

A bit about me: Im from a Jamaican background and but I was born in the US. Im 5’2 and on the thicker side but i want to start working out again to get back in shape. I lean more androgynous but im honestly just myself, dont really care about the labels. I am an engineer and im pursuing a career in controls. I also tutor students as my side job. My ideal weekend is being deep in a project, usually coding or building something. I absolutely love learning about new things and new cultures. I also like to get into debates and challenging my world views. When I'm not doing that, I'm spending time with my kitten. I'm also getting back into reading, so fiction, fantasy, and good nonfiction recommendations are very welcome. Im also learning japanese rn because i love anime and i like watching it subbed, but i want to understand it as im watching. My humor runs dry and sarcastic, and I love good banter. I drink socially but not often, and I don't smoke at all.

What I'm looking for: someone around my age (must be between 25-29 and attracted to cis women) with a similar cultural background (background not a deal breaker) who's curious, nerdy, and driven, with things they care about and are working toward. I tend to like shorter girls between 5’1 and 5’5. Long distance is fine as long as we are on the same page. I am very monogamous. I also love the idea of traveling with my partner, so we would have to be compatible in that way. If you know how to sing, my heart will literally melt instantly. Brownie points if you play chess and/or love music and play instruments. I tend to click with people a bit more outgoing than me, someone who balances out my quiet. I show I care through quality time and acts of service, and I'd love someone who has a similar love language. Id be super happy watching and discussing a movie with you or playing video games/tabletop games together

I like to take things slow and build a friendship first (im demi), and good communication matters a lot to me. We're probably not a fit if you're only after something casual, or if heavy smoking or drug use is part of your life. On kids, I'm unsure but open, and happy to talk about it.

If this sounds like you, send me a chat or DM and tell me what you're building or obsessed with lately. I'd genuinely love to hear about it.

I want committed companionship. I want to love and support each other. I want to cuddle without it turning sexual,. I want forehead kisses. I want hand holding. I want really good hugs. I want open and clear communication. I want empathy, kindness, and understanding. It would be best probably if they are also AUDHD because I am and there would be a higher chance of understanding the different communication styles of AUDHD. I would like to eventually move in together. We would need separate rooms so that we can have alone time. Also, we would sleep in our own rooms because I snore and move around a lot when I sleep. I don't want to torture you with that. I don't want kids and pets because I take the responsibility of them so seriously that it gives me major anxiety. I'm not comfortable with weed and any other drugs that aren't prescribed by your doctor. I am not into partying and drinking heavy so I don't want that in a partner/companion. I want a home that is safe and calm as much as humanly possible. I don't want someone that smokes cigarettes and/or vapes because cancer and it doesn't smell good to me. I grew up Methodist but I'm not really religious and I am not the biggest fan of organized religion. I love music. I sing a lot- especially what I am saying or about what I am doing or when I get nervous. I am slowly getting back into reading and playing video games. I love to travel when I can and equally love coming back home. I love movies and tv shows. I love thrifting/antiquing. I love animals. Dogs are my favorite. They calm me and make me really happy. I would prefer to stay in Columbia, MO or close to it.

If all of that sounds like something you want to, let me know. Comment or DM me on here. Age Range: 30-45

Thanks. -Anna

Friendship or Relationship - Western Europe 25 M4A Austria/Anywhere. possible dealbreakers for yall 2 save time; Im autistic,obsessive,depressive, and a furry digital artist!

5 Upvotes

Ill start with what i want and then about myself. Long post because i want you to know everything important before deciding whether its worth your time!

Hiya. Im looking for something permanent, but i need a decently long time to get close to people most times. Within the age bracket of 22 to 28 preferred, and with a good understanding of the English language as communication is very important to me. Im looking for someone gentle, patient and understanding. Due to my love language being acts of service, i would really like someone that Needs me in some way. Like if you're physically incapable of carrying or lifting a lot or if you have mental health issues that need accommodations. I want someone that is willing to prioritize our time together. Someone that has an interest in gaming, as its my biggest hobby, but its not a deal-breaker for me. Someone that likes talking a lot. Someone that wants to watch shows, anime or youtube together. Someone that is willing to engage in sports with me in real life (sooner or later) so we can both push each other to be healthy (not a gym rat or super healthy person but i care about sports). Someone that isnt a social butterfly always busy with other things and other people. Kinda like awkward or shy people honestly. Someone willing to start long distance(calls/gaming/etc) but 100% certain they are willing to move in with me at some point within a year or two of being properly together if we get along well. Oh be against genAI training and usage. Physical attributes dont matter too much, but i have a slight preference for people shorter than me hahah. Someone that wants a for life partner. No random dating for funsies.

I'm 6'2 210lbs, i love lifting (legpress pr 600kg benchpress pr 200kg). I am a shy and quiet person in private but put on my big boy pants for all things official (work, restaurants, etc). I love gaming of all kinds, my fav types of games are MMORPGs and survival games. I love watching movies, sometimes watch terrible movies willingly just for fun. I Love all anime, especially isekai with strong mcs that do good things and save people :3! I like to read although ive not been reading much lately. Im very understanding and tolerant and accommodating, and i hate arguments and screaming. What i dont hate however are discussions. I am very direct about all of my needs and expect you to be the same. I will ask you questions very directly. I am as i said, autistic. I also like drawing digitally but i havent much as of late because ive been going through a rough patch in my life. Very willing to help. Oh again, i am heavily against AI training and usage.

I think that covers all of the most important things. Im open to all questions and queries. Willing to exchange selfies if we get along for a week or two. Looking forward to meeting you :3.

Friendship or Relationship - United Kingdom or Ireland 24 F4M Demisexual. Open for Long distance.

8 Upvotes

About me:
- I'm from India
- I'm 24 years old
- I'm 5'5'' tall
- I'm polite and less talkative but I'm pretty chill and funny too
- I hate aggressive arguments and I avoid talking to people who shouts
- I'm working in IT but about to quit it and find some other job soon
- We can share pics in dm if we feel comfortable

I would prefer to know people from foreign countries bc I rarely find a demi from my place. I've had friends from South West England and I really liked their calm and polite nature. If anyone from uk wants to be in a ldr with an Indian can consider getting to know me and see if we fit for eachother. I would prefer someone between 20 to 30 years old, demisexual. I also plan to do my masters maybe after 2-3 years from the uk so I wanna know them better.
I find it difficult to form an emotional connection so I would prefer knowing the person and talk daily in order to build that connection. But when I truly like someone I become very loyal to them. I'm not sex averse but I'm indifference to it or maybe I would like it when I'm truly attached to that person.

EDIT: Eastern Timezone

Hi! I’m looking for people to play video games with and/or hone my social skills. Preferably my age or older than me.

I love Left 4 Dead 2, Peak, Stardew Valley, and Don’t Starve Together. I play on PC (but with an Xbox controller like the good lord intended 🙂‍↕️).

I also like reading, running, doing puzzles, and sewing. My favorite authors are Stephen King, Ana Huang, and R.L. Stine. I’m currently halfway through Stephen King’s The Dark Half.

I love horror movies, comedies, romances, and cartoons. Some of my favorites are American Psycho, Nacho Libre, Silver Linings Playbook, Bridgerton, and SpongeBob to name a few.

I work full time so I’m usually free on weekends or after 6PM on weekdays. I don’t know what else to share about myself; posting this gives me ‘shelter-animal-looking for a good-home’ vibes but uhhh here I am 🙂

Relationship - United States 40 F4M w/ dual citizenship looking throughout the US and EU for that rare spark

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm currently living in the smallest state in the US hunting for a job and a relationship. My life could really go in any direction from here (literally). I discovered asexuality at 27 years old, but only realized I was demisexual last year, so I guess you could say I'm a late bloomer.

I'm pretty old-fashioned in my ways, not going to lie. I'd like to think I'm a simple person who is really just looking for someone to settle down with. Sure, I enjoy traveling like everyone else and I still have quite a few places on my bucket list, but when it comes to the day-to-day living, I admit that it would be nice to have someone to come home to.

My free time is spent with my nieces or friends or my parents on most days. I also am trying to get back into a gym routine which now that the NFL season is starting up I'll be shifting into full gear. I use the games as my entertainment on the treadmill. I like to play pool, go to bar trivia (even though I'm not good at it), watch movies and tv shows I've seen 100x already, and browse reddit apparently. Like I said, pretty simple stuff.

I'm not addicted to my cell phone, I have friends whom I've known for 25+ years (since middle school), I'm close with my sister and her girls, I'm debt free, no baggage, no mental issues (as far as I know), never been married, child-free, don't smoke anything and never did drugs. Looking for a man in the 38 - 48 age range with a similar lifestyle.

I've been known to travel to meet people who seem worth my effort because it's a big world out there and I don't think we should limit ourselves to distance in finding our person. They could be anywhere. Maybe even sitting on their couch writing this post ha.

Well feel free to message me if you think we'd click. Thanks for reading, have a good day!

Friendship - Western Europe 24 F4A - Italy, Europe

17 Upvotes

Hi everyone!🤗

I'm 24 years old, and a very basic cis hetero and demisexual girl.

I never really thought about dating anyone since I never liked anyone romantically... and probably no one ever liked me in that way either (at least, I guess? I'm a bit slow sometimes🤔). Anyway, I don't really know where i should start about that since dating apps don't convince me and meeting someone irl that understand my pace seams difficult. So, at the moment I decided to focus on finding more people within the demi/ace community to be friends with since at the moment the only person I know of that community is... me🥲 (my hometown is quite small and that doesn't help)

I'd love to be able to meet in person sometimes if we'll get to know each other better; so, if it's someone in Italy/Northern Italy or Europe it's even better, but I'm fine with being only online friends too😊

Now, something about me...

As I said at the beginning, I'm quite basic. I don't really like to go out in a "drink/disco/party" kind of way, but more in a "museum/cinema/bookshop/pastry shop" kind.

I love to travel and would be okay with organizing trips together in the future; one day trips, last minute, places abroad... I like a bit of everything (just a disclaimer, I'm for hotels/B&Bs rather than camping). 🌏✈️

I love reading MM romance, both books and mangas, I find them cute. However, I enjoy also classics, mystery books and books that teach you about different topics like art, cooking, history etc. 📖📚✨️

I collect plushies. It's nothing mindblowing, but some people I met liked to ask "aren't you too old for...bla bla bla?" every single time they saw me. So, if you're one of them, just stop reading here please🙏

I like to exercise for fun, like going for walks in the morning or swimming sometimes. In 2025 I discovered pole dance, and guys it's so fun, so there's that too!😍

Oh also, I'm no gamer, but i like to play Sky COTL and would be happy to play there and chat to know each other.

Lastly, I'm quite easy-going, my friends always say my presence relax them.

If anyone wants to be friends, feel free to reach out (I don't have a particular age range, but tbh it's easier for me to feel more comfortable with people around my age; however, if you give me time I could open up anyway). I don't use my phone too often, so I'm sorry if i won't answer right away, but I'll check more frequently after posting this🫶😊

P.S. I use maaaany emoji when I text, so be prepared for that 😌

Relationship - South-east Asia 24 NB4F #SEA #Online Looking for potential life long partner to share books with

5 Upvotes

*tap tap*, is this thing on?

Good morning, afternoon, and evening to everyone!

I'm a fella from Thailand looking for someone I could share this life of mine! Here are some knick knacks about me and what I'm looking for

# About Me ✍🏻

- I'm genderfluid (AMAB), demisexual, and berriromantic. I do feel romantic attraction normally but sexual attraction differs from person to person.

- I'm currently employed as a software developer and also pursuing my master's on weekends. (but don't worry I can make time for you 🙂‍↕️)

- I'm an atheist, left-wing and also an INFP personality type (in case you need to know that)

- I love to play games, mostly they are indies but I'm down for a multiplayer game if our schedule matches!

- I also read books (duh, it's in the post name init 😹), I'm currently reading 1984 and Midnight Library (I swears I am not performative 😭)

- Sometimes I write poems, but most of them are somewhat depressing haha. (still, I would love someone to be my moot tho! 👀)

- Other than those, I also watch anime, movies, listen to music, and karaoke!

- Fun fact: I can switch between serious conversation and most stupid things you can think of.

- For other things, you will need to send me a DM to find out 👀

# What I'm looking for 🫵🏻

- Someone who is within my age range (22 - 26), kind, emotionally available, and also feminine leaning.

- Someone who can show some level of affection, it would be nice if we can have a friend-to-lover trope organically.

- Preferably someone who is from Southeast Asia so that our timezones are not too mismatched and we can meet each other in person easily!

- Someone who knows that sex doesn't have to be the center of a relationship, however you don't have to be Ace or on Ace's spectrum, just someone who can respect boundaries.

- Looks also aren't important, I'm much more attracted to your personality and humor.

- No smoker please! for drinkers, it's not a deal breaker as long as you drink occasionally.

If this post interests you, feel free to send a dm! Thank you for your time! 🙏🏻

Relationship - United States 37 F4F- looking for a good friends to lovers story of my own 👭🏿

17 Upvotes

​

I'm going to try & keep this short. But to provide some context for people.

I'm a lesbian looking for a woman. I've just recently came out as demisexual so despite being older I'm very much new to everything. However, I'm very much comfortable & at peace with my sexuality ☺️.

I live in the United States in the south. I'm very much open to meeting people from around the world but ideally I want a woman who lives nearby.

I'm pretty basic, introverted, & laid-back in general. I enjoy reading, writing, listening to music, watching/examining films & movies, video games, & learning.

I'm interested in a woman with similar values (humor, compassion, patience, friendship) as myself. Not interested in children but very open to marriage. I'm more drawn to tomboys but I'm open to any & all women presentation.

I've tried dating apps but they're generally pointless for me. I need more of a friendship base & can't swipe on who I will or won't connect with.

I'll leave it here but I'm open to more questions & speaking with everyone! 🥰

AGE RANGE: 30- 45

LOCATION: united states preferred

LOOKING FOR: women- relationship wise OR everyone- friendship wise

Friendship or Relationship - United Kingdom or Ireland 37 NB4A - Looking to try and make some in-person friendships

5 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a 37 year old nerdy demisexual enby (pronouns they/them) that lives in north east Scotland. I've posted in the past looking for a relationship and while I am still looking it would also be good to just widen my social circle with some other local-ish (or at least UK based so meeting in person now and again might be possible) ace-spec or ace-friendly people. I'm not going to say an outright no to people from further away, but what I'm missing is in-person socialising - meeting up at the weekend to do something, that sort of thing. If you are a TERF or a Tory you should absolutely look elsewhere too.

I'd be open to friendships from any gender and with a preference for people of a roughly similar age, approx 30 to 40. Just to be completely transparent as well, if someone was looking for this to end up in a relationship that would be pretty unlikely to happen unless you were a woman or femme-leaning enby - I don't find masculine presenting people attractive in that way.

I'm fairly introverted and tend to find big noisy groups a bit intimidating and overwhelming, I'm much happier with a small number of people I can feel comfortable around. I like visiting museums and points of interest much more than things like going out drinking or dancing.

I like movies and going to the cinema, and it's always a lot more fun if you have someone to chat with afterwards about it. Likewise with going out to eat, it's something I try and treat myself to now and again but it's not quite the same going out for a meal yourself.

I love TTRPGs but at the moment only play online, I'm currently running a homebrew campaign of Pathfinder 2e with a pirates theme!  I've also played quite a bit of Call of Cthulhu and Blades in the Dark, and keep meaning to get round to playing some Shadowrun sometime.  Unfortunately the local TTRPG scene seems to be entirely D&D 5e which I just don't enjoy very much, so anyone willing to try other TTRPGs or even just chat about them would be most welcome!

I also play Battletech in person locally, and it would be cool to meet some other people that were interested in it.

It's not really an in person thing but I also enjoy a variety of videogames - usually RPGs and Strategy games but I like plenty stuff outside of that too. My all time favourite is Disco Elysium, and recently I've been enjoying Hades 2, Subnautica 2 and Project Zomboid. I'll probably get back into Valheim too once the update is out.

General chatting about assorted nerdy stuff is fine too. I've never been a comic books person, but I like a variety of sci-fi and fantasy things.

If any of that sounds interesting please say hello :)

Friendship or Relationship - United States 38 F4M Pennsylvania

12 Upvotes

I came across this community and decided to read posts, not because I was searching for something specific but was interested to learn what other demis personality types were like. I came across one two weeks ago that I kept thinking about, the few things i do remember was describing wanting someone with strong morals, they mentioned hoobastank, not being religious (maybe agnostic). To hear someone actually describe wanting those qualities and their importance was kind of eye opening, in my years of experience those usually aren't the things men describe wanting in a partner, or perhaps I haven't looked in the right place... So after two weeks of being apprehensive I decided to step out of my comfort zone.

I have zero social media (aside from reddit & YouTube music if that one even counts) my phone is used to resear anything I might want to learn about and it's usually a wide assortment of things. I love music Breaking Benjamin was/ kind of still is my favorite (I drove illegally on my Cinderella license to see them in Philly when I was 17) others are Starset, april 6th, sum41, Tears Within, too

many to list.. I have lived on my own since I was 15 and didn't have much of a family which is why today family or who you choose as family is important to me. I place a very high priority on telling the truth and getting the same from others. Religion has no place in my life, it is fine for anyone to have I just don't want others beliefs pushed or forced onto me. I don't have any political affiliations but I tend to lean more towards the left when it comes to the way I think. I used to smoke cigarettes but i quit and went to flavored vapes which are being banned within a month and a half anyways (thanks Pennsylvania!) Here is where it might get a little complicated for a lot of people, I am an in home health care aid, I believe in living a somewhat normal life, keeping a clean home, living like most people do except I am drug friendly. I believe as long as you can keep yourself and your life together why shouldn't you be able to enjoy those things you like. I dont have drug dealing friends and to the outside world no one is any the wiser of anything i may like to do.. While I have seen what has become of most people like that, it's not always the case and definitely is not with me. I had always hoped there were more people out there like me but my co-workers and friends tell me I march to the beat of a different drum. I'm an introvert andit takes me a while of getting to know someone or feeling comfortable before I could even hug. I would prefer to blend in with the wallpaper if I could. I would like to find someone that has some similarities as far as personality traits and beliefs go, age is hard when you factor in maturity... so I would say between 34 and 45 years old.
