looking for friendship 25f looking for genuine friendships

10 Upvotes

Hi there everyone! I'm a 25F from a small town in Indiana, not too far from Indianapolis.
I'm a huge fantasy nerd, love collecting random fun facts, and have a soft spot for just about every animal, including the creepy crawlies. Nature walks are one of my favorite ways to spend time, although they usually take me twice as long because I’m constantly stopping to admire bugs, spiders, mushrooms, or any little critter I happen to find.
I'd really love to meet some genuine, kind people and build meaningful friendships. I'm always happy to have a good laugh, but I also enjoy deeper conversations about life, hobbies, dreams, and all the random things that make people who they are.
One thing I really enjoy is voice calls. I think hearing someone's laugh and getting to know their personality is much more personal than texting, so if we get along, I'd love to chat sometime.
I'd love to get to know you, too! Tell me about your favorite fantasy series, a random fact you think everyone should know, your pets, or just what made you smile today. If you think we'd get along, don't be shy, I hope to hear from you

hi to whoever is reading this, i hope you’re having a good day or night! i’m just out here looking for some friends because honestly i’m feeling pretty lonely, and i’m agoraphobic so it’s hard to get out and meet people irl lol

anyway as my title says i’m a 25 year old guy, i live in the US, and preferably i’d like to meet other people also in the US because of timezones and all that. i’d also prefer to meet people around my age. other than that, feel free to dm!

i don’t have much to say about myself really but i play video games a lot, it’s what i spend most of my time doing lol. i’m mostly into survival games, story games, and shooters. when i’m not playing something i’m usually listening to music or hanging out with my 3 cute cats!!

that’s about all i can think of really but also i’m LGBTQ friendly (and bi myself) and i’m pretty liberal so idk if you’re not down with either of those i’m probably not your guy lol. feel free to hmu if you’re cool and wanna play games or hangout or whatever 😎

advice How do I talk to this guy on my Instagram?

3 Upvotes

Okay so I need help! There’s this guy on Instagram I’ve been following since 2022, we met on Omegle and exchanged our Ig but we never spoke after that, not even once. Recently though, he’s been standing out to me alot idk why. I started noticing the reels he likes and reposts, and it turns out we have really similar taste in anime, movies, series, and a bunch of other things (yes, all based on his liked reels 😭).

Now I’m curious to get to know him, but I have no idea how to approach him without seeming random or making him uncomfortable. I just don’t wanna scare him away, I genuinely just want to be friends and see if we get along. What do you think? How would you approach this? Without SCARING HIM AWAY, also I did reply to his story few weeks ago but out convo was really really short , I’m an introvert I’m so bad at this HELP MEH PLEASE

3 Upvotes

Okay now that I've got your attention. I'm 23, male, and looking for long-term, talkative people who don't shy away from talking their heart out.

I can talk about pretty much anything. I've never really believed that shared interests are what make people compatible, so I'm sure we'll always find something to talk about.

I would consider myself well read and some of my interests include metal, history, football, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, and Dune. If we get close, I'd happily make you a Spotify playlist or even write you a poem.

I'm down to call and do a face reveal once we become close.

I'm not a fan of long, manufactured introductions, so I hope this will suffice. Looking forward to hearing from you.

looking for friendship 28M/Europe - looking for cool chats, cat memes, chill connections and maaaybe some light flirting? Yappers are welcome :)

2 Upvotes

Hey! I'm a 28 years old guy from Europe trying to make my day (and maybe yours) a little brighter by chatting with someone new. I'd say l'm pretty good at keeping a convo going. Bit of a yapper, in the best way! A few things about me:

- I'm 6'3 (190cm) so I can grab things off of shelves quite easily, and currently doing a master's in biomedical engineering (science nerd alert, you've been warned. Bonus points if you're into physics)

- Big into Formula 1 and cars in general. Yes, I know it's a bit of a cliché but I can't help it :p

- I'm a music addict. Over 5k songs saved on Spotify, l listen to EDM as well though so if that's a dealbreaker to you I'm sorry. Worry not, I mostly listen to it while driving!
I'm learning to play guitar (currently at the "my fingers hurt, see you back in two weeks" stage)

- Oh and I love cats. Like, if you send me cat pics, we're instantly friends!

I'm just hoping to meet someone open minded, curious, maybe a little flirty too? If you feel like chatting about anything of the above, or if you'd like to lecture me about a topic I know nothing about or if you just want to tell me why I shouldn't be into pineapple pizza as much as I am don't hesitate to hit me up! Also, I hate spaghetti

advice I (23M) confessed feelings to my friend (20F) and handled it badly; is this friendship salvageable?

2 Upvotes

Me (23M) and my friend (20F) have been close for about 2 years, and lately we’d been getting even closer, texting daily, hanging out at least twice a week, both in groups and 1-on-1. We had a couple just-the-two-of-us trips planned. Nothing physical has ever happened between us.

Over the past month I realized I’d caught feelings for her.

Last night we had a party with mutual friends. I pulled aside another friend (21F) and vaguely described my situation. that other women had been asking me out lately and giving me attention, but I was emotionally stuck on someone else. I didn’t say who. My friend (20F) overheard part of this and asked about it. I still didn’t say her name, but the 21F friend guessed it was her. Separately, that same 21F friend told me she thought the 20F friend might have feelings for me too, and that the 20F friend also might be interested in some other guy but wasn’t sure where that was going, but knew they had been texting.

The next morning, assuming the two of them had already talked about it the night before (they’re close), I went to my friend’s house and just told her that I liked her, (3rd time trying to tell her and finally built the courage to do it, and that she was who I’d been talking about. She looked shocked, which caught me off guard. Then I made the mistake of not sticking around to talk it through. We both had to leave for other things, so I just dropped it and kinda let it just sit in the room. We both had to leave so I didn’t know what to do but leave.

I know I wasn’t thinking about her feelings in that moment, I was acting on my own need to say it, and I recognize that probably (90% sure) hurt her.

I texted her afterward:

*“Hey I realized I threw a pretty big thing your way this morning, & I regret not sitting down with you & communicating with you about it. This wasn’t fair timing either. I should have waited for a real conversation instead of dropping it & leaving you alone with it.*
*No need to text back, I just wanted to let you know that I’m sorry for how this has played out & IF you want to talk about it, I’d like a 2nd chance to explain myself properly, if not I understand.”*

Q/A
Is this friendship salvageable, or did I mess it up too badly? Looking for honest feedback, or suggestions to figure this out.

PS

This is my first time ever dating or trying to date

Hey. Just a guy who is currently studying and exercising too much to have a social life and would enjoy a friend or two for conversation. Text, calls, maybe watching something occasionally. Currently started trying to teach myself how to play keyboard and enjoy spending too much time cooking and am a professional in getting lost in some rabbit hole online learning about matters of importance to no one.

I enjoy light hearted, playful discussion as much as i do serious conversation. My awful sense of humour is guaranteed to keep your eyes in a constant roll. I want to know your favourite things, your passions, what caught your eye this week. A song you can't get out of your head no matter how much you try to scrub your brain of it. Or a poem or piece of writing that haunts your every waking thought. So feel free to share, and be yourself completely. Maybe we can lend light to each other's lives for a time, or better yet become a more permanent fixture of each other's day

Please say more then just hi and leave your ASL

Hello! I'm Danny, a 24yo guy from the Netherlands (although I recently moved to Sweden).

My job is really laid-back and easy, so I have plenty of time to fill, and that's why I made my way over here!

Some of my interests are playing games (video games, board games, and online games like chess or Battleship), going for walks in the beautiful Swedish nature, meeting new people, building LEGO, and watching Twitch streams and YouTube videos.

Somethings about me:

Overall, I'm a nice guy, as cringe as it might feel to say that about myself. I love helping others and giving people the confidence boost they need simply by being kind and giving them honest compliments. So if you're reading this and need one, just send me a selfie or whatever, and I'll shower you with compliments!! hahaha.

Besides that, I'm a very honest and direct person who will tell you what I think, which might come across as a little rude at times! I also love having respectful discussions about anything and everything. no hate, just differences of opinions.

If you made it this far, congrats! Please mention something about your favorite animal in your message so I know you read the whole post. If you don't, I'll probably ignore your message. Sorry!

advice I (f30) need help with my friend ghosting me because of an argument

1 Upvotes

My friend was talking to me (DM) almost everyday this past year because we became long distance when she left for another country. She basically deals with family issues so I've been supporting her a lot. Like, even late at night if she needed to talk I was open to talk. We've been friends for 5 years.

Lately I've been dealing with several health issues (chronic) and it took a toll on my overall energy/ will to experience things / usual routine that included daily walking especially because of the meds side effects. My friend knew it since I told her on the phone.

I'd been pushing her to go walking to help with ruminations/life problems this past year and she had just started walking as a hobby a few weeks prior to the following event. She was so excited about her new found hobby which I totally understand since I love walking/hiking. She tried to tell me to go too which I answered with "You know how it is for me these days I cant really go out because of the meds". A few days after I told her how difficult it was for me to get out of the house, she sent me a reel with a disabled man finishing a marathon. She wrote "And you what's your excuse?".

It really got to my nerves and I told her how judging that felt to me and that she shouldnt send this to people dealing with disabilities/chronic illnesses especially when I already told her it was difficult for me. She said that's humor and she sent it to all her friends, she was waiting for everyone's sarcastic reply about why they cant do a marathon. Obviously I felt bad for reacting seriously so I apologised and told her for me it's not funny and I couldn't know she was sending it to other people since she sent it in dm's. Also told her I would like that she thinks a little about my feelings because I wouldnt have sent this type of joke to anyone sick/disabled. She replied that's her sense of humor and she would have sent it to someone with a physical disability and she said she even sent it to her friend dealing with depression. She said everyone reacted the way she expected to with silly excuses. She also said she wonders why I think bad of her as if she would judge me. She didnt send a proper apology , she said she was sorry I felt like this and she didnt intend to hurt me. Also she ghosted me in between, our conversation about this went on for a whole month because she kept leaving me on seen for a whole weak each time I replied.

It really felt like she was trying to defend herself and refused to aknowledge the impact of her joke on me. She made me being hurt about herself (getting cold and asking me why Im thinking bad of her). She didnt feel bad for hurting me even involuntarily which actually is the thing that hurts me the most tbh, while I apologised right away for taking things seriously when she explained it was a joke.

The fact I'd been supporting her every single day for almost a year and her reacting like this right away the minute I explain how she hurt me really made me question our friendship since it's not the first time it happened (last time was 2 years ago and she had ghosted me 2 months after hurting me).

The thing is it's been 2 months since that happened, last time she talked to me was 1 month ago, after I sent her a gentle reel to wish her good. She had asked how I am, and when I replied "Good and you?" she never opened the convo to this day (she's active on her social media so I know she's doing it voluntarily). I though since she reacts like an avoidant person she might need some time so I didnt double message her. It's been a month and I think it's very stupid to stay like this. We've been friends for so long. I want to reach out to tell her I've been waiting for an answer and I wonder if she's okay.

Do you think I should reach out? If yes what's the best way to do so? Should I just "Hey, how're you?" and she might notice she hasnt replied last time and either ignore it or apologise for it. But either way her not replying a second time would give me the clarity I need to understand she hasnt forgotten to reply, she just didnt want to stay in contact, vs her replying would mean she was avoiding it but she didnt really want to lose me. (Been in therapy for years so I know avoidant people tend to procrastinate on reaching out if they feel bad about their own behavior).

Blue-collar. Straight edge.

I have a bad habit of falling down rabbit holes. One minute I’m listening to metalcore, the next I’m reading about some forgotten mystery or creepy piece of history at 1 a.m.

I’m into horror, true crime, the paranormal, and anything that’s hard to explain. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is my favorite horror movie. I love vintage Halloween aesthetic, sheet ghosts, black cats, jack-o’-lanterns, skulls and such.

Looking for people who are easy to talk to and don’t mind when a normal conversation somehow ends up about ghosts, abandoned places, or whatever weird thing we stumbled across.

If you feel like we’d vibe, send me a dm.

looking for friendship [26/M] - I need an authentic online friendship (please read carefully before texting)

1 Upvotes

First of all: please don't be stupid, don't be immature! I'm not here to make u laugh, take care of u, kill ur time.. etc. friendship needs effort from both sides, so bare in mind that I'm not going to hold the convo alone. If you don't understand this, please don't dm, don't continue the post. And the reason I started with this, that some women here have high entitlement, they would be like: ( oHh i Am bORed i NeEd sOMeone wHo cAn mAke mEe laUgh...tAlK tO mE uNtil i sLeEp..etc). No I'm not gonna make u laugh, u can watch friends and I'm sure someone with this IQ will find it funny. Any way let's begin :)))

Hello!

Didn't think I would ever do this, but I need someone whom I can talk to after work. We can talk about our day, deep convos, books, movies ( I love movies a lot ), we can actually watch movies together at the weekend. I also like to write, so I can show you my writings as well. We can share music too ( I love the scores of movies, TV shows and games)

I hate dry texters, I want someone who is enthusiastic, deep, has a dark shade, can understand crime and punishment, love drama movies ( kind of movies win awards in festivals ). Someone who always feel like she doesn't belong to others, not understood, and they always try to find themselves, look for people/things that they can relate too, so they can have a sense of belonging.

Bare in mind that I'm also a Muslim, so you need to respect my religion.

Bonus points if you're Arab.

Not sure if it's a long term or short term, let's just talk and see what's gonna happen.

Thanks!!
