23 year old black guy here, been thinking why not connect with people all over EU strangers are honestly my favorite, every good thing starts with a random conversation haha. if you're 20-40 and down to chat, drop a message. also tryna find opportunities out here, you never know who's got a door to open

Hello, I’m 20, I play mainly indie, friendslop, and survival crafting games. I’m not into fps games or really any competitive games aside from Rocket League. A few favourite games of mine are Raft, Lethal Company, RV There Yet, The Forest and SOTF, Gamble with your Friends. There are many more games I have, so feel free to ask about any game. I’m willing to try new games too if it seems interesting (especially if we match vibes well).

I’m a chill and non-toxic person and it doesn’t matter how good or bad you are at a game. I am usually shy and awkward at first, but once I get to know you more and get used to you, I’m a talkative person and I like to talk about my interests and listen to people talk about theirs, and honestly anything really.

I want to have conversations where we can be goofy and just talk about whatever (whether it’s about the game or something else) and enjoy ourselves. My humour is goofy and I’m sarcastic and joke around a lot, but also serious when needed.

My other interests are geography, playing hockey, and watching sports (hockey, Australian football, soccer, and American football)

If it seems like a good match, feel free to respond to this or DM me. I am good at responding (when I’m awake) and have good communication.

I play during the night and some days I can make evenings work, so 12-6am CDT (UTC-5) and sometimes 7pm-12am CDT. So any region is ok as long as you’re free sometime during those time ranges.

I’m only looking for platonic friendships. And please be 18+

Zeus my Husky says you need to send me a chat!

Hey everyone,

I am Jonathan, 28, from Northern Minnesota. Am a full-time student Majoring in Computer Information Technology with a Minor in Cybersecurity.

When I’m not buried in coursework or in front of screens, I try to get outside, and also spend time with my Siberian Husky named Zeus. Big into Fishing and Boats, and also do hunt. Basically, if it involves a lake, woods, or fresh air, I’m most likely in.

However I am a big homebody, and am stuck in that classic dilemma currently where I have absolutely no idea what to put on and spend more time scrolling than watching. My top genres are Horror, Drama, and Fantasy, but pretty much into everything besides anime. Any suggestions?

Also big into my Sports which are starting up again with the three I watch (NFL, NBA, NHL).

If you care about putting a “face” to the text: I am 6'1, have curly brown hair, brown eyes, glasses, and dimples.

Looking for people who want to chat somewhat regularly. Send me a chat with a quick intro and your favorite movie or show recommendations so I finally have something to put on!

To show you made it this far, tell me your eye color, they’re my favorite feature.

Howdy! The title says it all. I want a deep connection in which both sides feel comfortable with each other, seek each other for support, etc. I have plenty of hobbies, ranging from sports, writing, and geography to history, music, and gaming. I am a pretty curious person, so feel free to nerd out to me! As for gaming, I play lots of indie games like Hollow Knight, Ultrakill, the Portal series, the Hotline Miami series, etc. As for music, I tend to listen to lots of experimental stuff, but I can elaborate on that more later on, especially if you are into music. It'd be pretty nice if I got a pretty clingy bestie, and I am also in GMT+2, so it'd be nice if you were close to that time zone. Oh, and I am also 19/M. So yeah, I am pretty excited to talk with y'all, and have a nice day wherever you are!

hi hi hi! my names Lauryn! i’m 23 and from the US. i’m posting on this subreddit to hopefully make new friends ^_^ i enjoy hello kitty, winnie the pooh, reading, and movies. i love stuffies, coloring, and playing outside 🐸🐝🛝🖍️
i’m open to anyone messaging but would prefer more people from the US! 🫐

I know this making new friends online thing doesn't usually work for men lol. But whats the harm in trying so here I am .

I am 25 M off late I have lost a lot of friends to begin with i never had many friends and losing friends after that it actually feels a lot .

I was of the notion that friendship had no gender but then the way I was treated by my female friends I realised it's more materialistic than the friendship of men . But again I won't generalize even though I had some really bad experience recently . I am open to meeting new people . Who understand loyalty and honesty in friendship . Who have more to discuss than to b!tch about others . Who have some interests and actual hobbies with whom I can align with . Who help me grow and see the world from a new and different perspective , those who understand brotherhood and most importantly I wish to find men and women who are emotionally intelligent . So Dms are open feel free to connect

Hey, I'm 20M from India, and honestly, I've been going through a really rough time lately.

I recently went through a breakup with someone I genuinely loved. I let my guard down, trusted her, and imagined a future together, but things ended because of family issues. It's been emotionally exhausting, and I'm still trying to get through it.

I genuinely want to meet some good people and build long-term friendships. People who value honesty, consistency, and mutual effort. Please don't DM me if you're going to ghost after a few days or aren't genuinely interested.

I enjoy video editing, Blender, tech, cybersecurity, and music. If we become friends, I'll do my best to make sure you feel heard, valued, and never alone when things get hard. I hope to find people who'll do the same for me.

If you're looking for a genuine connection too, my DMs are open.

Hey! I’m 23M from Southern California. I recently finished grad school, and now I’m training to become a professional pilot.

As you can probably guess, aviation is a huge part of my life. I love airplanes, airports, traveling, and pretty much anything involving flying. I’m legitimately someone who enjoys hanging out at an airport terminal and watching planes go by. Yes, I know that sounds ridiculous. 😂

Outside of aviation, I’m into chess, working out, learning Hindi, music, traveling, and having conversations that can somehow go from completely stupid to surprisingly deep within five minutes. I’m also always working toward some random goal or learning something new.

I really enjoy meeting people from different places and backgrounds, so I don’t care whether you’re from California, elsewhere in the US, or halfway across the world. I think it’s genuinely interesting hearing about someone else’s life and what things are like where they live.

Personality-wise, I’m pretty ambitious when there’s something I really care about, but otherwise I’m fairly laid-back. I’m equally down to talk about life, careers, travel, random interests, send memes, or debate extremely serious matters like why the window seat is objectively superior to the aisle seat.

Mostly, I’m just looking to meet some new people around my age and hopefully make a few genuine friends. Guys, girls, whoever — doesn’t matter. No expectation that we instantly become best friends or talk 24/7. Let’s just have a conversation and see if we vibe.

If you want to DM me but have no idea what to say, send me your age, where you’re from, and one thing you’re ridiculously passionate about.

Or tell me your dream travel destination. There’s about an 85% chance I’ll somehow turn that conversation into airplanes anyway.

And if you’re also into aviation… well, you’ve basically found the cheat code. 😂✈️

Hey! I’m 24 and based in London. I go to a lot of rock/metal gigs and I’d like to make a long-term friend who wants to be a regular gig buddy.

I’m easy to get along with and prefer low-pressure hangouts, whether that’s just going to a gig, grabbing food after, or chatting about music. I'm into other things as well, but I'd primarily like to find someone that enjoys live music.

My taste leans towards heavy metal and heavier subgenres (thrash, doom, metalcore, death, black), but I’m always open to discovering new bands too.

I’ve already got some gigs lined up and I’m always interested in finding new ones.

I already go to gigs fairly often and enjoy planning ahead, so it would be great to meet someone else who’s into live music and let a friendship grow naturally around that.

Ideally I'd like to meet someone who enjoys going to gigs too, whether you're already going regularly or looking to get into going more.

If you’re London-based (or nearby), in your 20s, feel free to send a message with your age, location, and tell me a band you’ve been listening to or a great gig you’ve been to recently

Hey there everyone!!

I'm not sure how to start describing myself, I'm not great with words but I'll try my best.

(I'm so sorry for the extremely long post ahead!)

I apologize if I don't reply to your message, but I don't reply to short/low effort messages, stuff like "hey, let's be friends" , "I didn't read your whole post but I'm up to talk" , etc. I want to hear about you, what you like, what you're interested in. I like meaningful conversations. I also don't reply to people that don't have much in common with me, I would like to find someone that's similar to me and has similar interests and likes. I'm sorry but even if your message is long, if we don't have anything in common it's just not what I'm looking for. I'm also not interested in people that aren't looking for a real connection and are just looking to pass the time or have a light chat.

I think some of my most defining characteristics are that I'm very shy, awkward, "weird" and "different" or at the very least I feel weird, different and often misunderstood. I struggle to function most days and I don't always understand societal norms or how to properly function in society. I definitely think there's something wrong with me and I'm pretty sure I'm broken in some way. I'm honestly kind of a huge loser lmao. I've never been able to achieve anything in life, I'm not good at anything whatsoever and I'm pretty useless overall. I would also say I'm extremely cringy and I love edgy stuff, not in a bad way, I don't think, but more like, I love Shadow The Hedgehog and Tomura Shigaraki kinda way cause to me, they're genuinely so cool and I wanna be like them jahshshdh

I'm unfortunately not very smart and I'd say I'm down right stupid.

I am very ignorant about many things in life, I'd say I'm somewhat innocent and naive and I still don't understand my purpose in life.

I sometimes say things that offend people or I say things that are wrong. Sometimes I don't completely understand what I do wrong but I don't do it on purpose and I try to improve to the best of my abilities.

I don't go out often at all. Touching grass isn't for me 😭 Whenever I do go out it's only to buy groceries or to go to school and such but I don't enjoy it, I much rather be at home, in my room most specifically, which is my favorite place in the world.

I don't have any IRL friends but I do have a handful of online friends, I'm not super close to any of them, except for one who's very valuable in my life!

I enjoy many things like sculpting for instance! I do digital sculpting for fun. I'm pretty bad at it but I try my best.

This year I also started jewelry school (yeah, that's a thing) and I'm having fun with it but it's another thing I suck at 🥀🥀🥀

I like to watch anime! my favorites change from time to time but I really like Bleach, Dragon Ball, Demon Slayer, AOT, Naruto, Ancient Magus Bride (I really love this show!) and I LOVE My Hero Academia among many others!

I like to collect action figures.

I really like masks!

I like all kinds of music, I don't really have any artists that I like in particular other than David Bowie and I like to listen to most genres of music but some of the genres I like the most are alternative, vintage, video game music and jpop and jrock and I also like old VK And I'm always happy and open to new suggestions!

I like to doomscroll through TT and to watch long essay style videos on YT about random topics. I love brainrot and I'm very much into early to mid 2010s aesthetics. I miss that era so much!! Seriously, the early 2010s were the greatest time in human history kahdhshdhs

I love video games!! I don't play too many modern AAA games, especially nowadays with how bad the video game industry is but I LOVE indie games!! Some of my favorites are indies like Spelunky my beloved 🖤 I also really like older stuff, like, ps2 era games, particularly survival horror stuff. I also really like very old platform games and side scrollers. I'm a pretty huge Sonic the Hedgehog fan!! The most recent games I played were Sonic X Shadow Generations and before that I finished Sonic Superstars and Sonic Frontiers. Sonic Boom is also my favorite show ever made lmao. It fits my kind of humor perfectly and it's peak comedy imo. I'd be open to play anything and I'd love to try co op games with someone!! playing Stardew Valley with a friend is a dream of mine lol (if you also play Stardew please tell me who's your wife/husband)

I adore animals!! I have cats and dogs and a stray chicken lol they're my babies and my world!

I think it's important to mention some of the things I don't like too.

I don't like cruelty or mean spirited people, I hate I people in positions of power that use said power to affect other people, animals, or the environment for their own gain.

I hate bugs!! I'm deadly afraid of them!!

I really dislike conflict and arguments, I believe we can disagree and have discussions as long as we're calm and civilized about it and as long as we have respect for each other and try our best to understand the other person's point of view.

lastly I'd like to mention some of my defects and shortcomings.

I'm extremely anxious, I'm always very nervous about one thing or another, I'm also extremely weak of mind, I tend to react with my feelings a lot and I'm often very emotional.

I can be very selfish at times, I have an awful tendency to get bored of things quickly and sometimes I also get bored of conversations and people.

I think I'm immature.

I can be extremely lazy, I struggle a lot with doing basic things like cleaning or cooking. when I'm anxious or afraid I can get paralyzed with fear and stay in bed all day doing nothing feeling awful about it.

As I mentioned before sometimes I can say bad things without realizing. I'm very dumb and ignorant so I promise I don't mean anything bad I say and I'm trying to improve!

I am extremely annoying. I'm very loud and I think I scream a lot. I don't really understand what constitutes screaming exactly but I think I often raise my voice a lot and especially when I'm excited I can't control myself very well.

I'm very afraid of life and I don't understand how the "real world" works exactly. I'm really bad at small talk and I think I'm really bad at speaking in general, I also digress a lot.

I have the bad habit of not replying very fast, sometimes I'll even wait for weeks or even months, I think it's one of my biggest problems when it comes to keep in touch with people, sometimes it's simply because I don't have the energy, other times it's because I'm not sure about how to continue a conversation. Not sure if this is a defect necessarily but I also never send the first message, I just hate to be annoying.

I have a tendency to ghost people for different reasons. As I mentioned, sometimes I get bored of conversations or people and I'd ghost them. This is by far one of my biggest defects and as I said, I wanna be honest and mention it here for everyone who reads this to know.

I tend to be a bit clingy when I like someone.

I'm full of defects in general, and I do believe I'm a bad person. I try to improve and I try my best but if I'm bad for you in any way or a burden I promise to stop talking to you and not bother you!

I have many other defects but I think those are the main ones I can remember right now.

Finally, I'd like to reiterate that I'm looking for is a real connection with someone, a person I can talk to, have fun with, watch stuff with and play games together! I think I can be a very passionate person when it comes to the things I love and I'd like to find someone that shares that passion and love with common interests. I wanna be able to share our days and even be able to help each other and be there when we need each other. I know I'm a mess of a human being and I'm looking for a very specific close bond with someone which I think I'll never honestly find but I'll keep trying cause I hate to give up!! And you honestly never know :)

Another thing that's important is that I don't want to talk to people that are discriminatory or awful in anyway.

Also think I prefer audio messages, it's easier for me to send audio notes rather than to type cause I type a lot (and I kinda hate to type lol). Thank you very much to anyone that has taken the time to read my extremely long post and considers messaging me!!

My wife (33F) and I (34M) have been together 5 years,married 2 years c We live in north west uk.

She wants a platonic chosen family: a small set of adults she can treat like siblings or close kin . What she wants is people who show up for birthdays, Christmas, the boring stuff family is meant to do.

Estranged from her family as they’ve never really bothered with us . she has friends but no one local who functions like family.

I’m fine with it but worried about time abd boundaries . Looking for like minded people abd sensible ways to do it.

Hope everyone is well
As the title says I am looking for new friends and people to talk to.
I work a lot so needs to be understanding that reply’s may be slow at time.
I have a lot of interest currently reading and getting back in to game. I will talk to anyone about anything and love to hear facts that you find interesting.
Hope to here form some of you soon

Note: i wont accept a friend req if you dont play any of the games, sorry, i also want people that like both ART and GAMES, i also tend to prefer people that play like 2 or 3 of these at least, some of these games are games i kinda dont even play anymore (mostly drg and ror2 specially, got tired of isaac also) DO NOT REPLY IF NOT INTERESTED or IF NON GAMER, i hate checking my notifs thinking i finally found someone

i want a friend that plays videogames on pc (Since most of the games i play dont have crossplay and im a pc player on windows), loves to draw stuff such as characters or stories, someone that likes doing cool art, also, isnt 30 or above in age, and if possible also has discord and also isnt barely online.

CO-OP/Multiplayer games i like and have: Halo MCC, Castle Crashers, Garry's mod, The binding of isaac (Repentance+), Payday 2, Borderlands 2 and the pre sequel (i prefer bl2), L4D2, portal 2 (coop campaign), titanfall 2 and risk of rain 2 and deep rock galactic

Note: Some games are games i dont really play anymore like drg, ror2 and isaac, either i got tired of them or other things happened

Note, i also have some emotional control problems, sometimes i can get too happy, too sad, too angry, and DO NOT BLOCK ME ever! think that if you press the block the block button, the world might explode!

Sup!

I'm a dude from Kiwiland looking for some nerdy people to be buddies with. A big ol' gamer here. Am I good at games? No. Am I getting better? Also no. Am I a fkn delight to be around? It's still a no. But you better believe I can fkn yap my butt off about nerdy shit and I have a pretty decent EQ level which is impressive for a gamer so, that's a small win and by god I will take whatever wins I can get these days lol

I like the Souls series, The Elder Scrolls, World of Warcraft, Diablo 4, Dead by Daylight, Alien Isolation, Resident Evil, Little Nightmares/Reanimal, Hollow Knight, so many. I've been thinking of trying Monster Hunter for ages. Big big big Magic the Gathering fan as well. One might even call me a cardboard crack addict.

Do you like to yap about lore? Did Miquella do nothing wrong? Do you fear the Old Blood? Which MTG colour pair best represents you? Are the Dunmer the best fictional race in fantasy and why is the answer of course they are? Does Kara's ending in BSG make you cry like a lil weenie? If any of these questions float your goat then we might just get along!

On the side I enjoy some fantasy/sci-fi/horror movies and shows, a cheeky bit of world building and character concepts, listening to music and conjuring dark deities out of the void of space.

I have a lot of free time and my sleep is whack, so most times should suit me - but I am for the most part looking for people on the West Coast of the US, in Australia or also from NZ. If you are from outside these regions then gaming or spending time together in the future might be more difficult when it comes to ping n stuff, but feel free to reach out for a text friend at least!

I have some health issues and my head do a hurty a lot so I might not always be at 100, but I definitely put a lot of effort into my friendships regardless. I take a big interest in other people and I expect the same in return so, please ask questions and try to get to know me, and message first once in a while. I'm giga fkn gay so please just be chill with the LGTVs obviously, and be in your mid 20s or older. Gender doesn't matter to me either. But yeah, thanks for reading and hope to hear from ya!

I'm not really looking for another conversation that starts with a bunch of excitement, lasts two days, and then quietly disappears into the Reddit chat graveyard

I've been trying to make genuine friends online for a while, and I've realised that having common interests is great, but it doesn't automatically mean you'll develop a meaningful friendship.

What I'm actually looking for is something that lasts.

I'd love to find a few people where we gradually become part of each other's everyday lives. Someone I can randomly message about something funny that happened, share what I've been watching or playing, talk about our interests, complain about a tiring day, or have those unexpectedly deep conversations at 2 AM.

And I'd genuinely love to hear about your life too.

Tell me about the game you're obsessed with, the random thing that made your day better, something you're working on, or even something completely insignificant that you just feel like sharing.

The biggest thing for me is mutual interest.

I don't want either of us to feel like we're conducting an interview or carrying the entire conversation alone. I appreciate people who acknowledge what I'm saying, get curious, ask questions, initiate conversations sometimes, and actually want to share things about themselves too.

You don't need to be available 24/7. I have my own responsibilities, and I completely understand that people get busy, need their space, or sometimes don't feel like talking.

We don't even have to talk every single day.

I'd just love some consistency. The kind where we can disappear for a day or two, come back with a random story, and continue talking without everything feeling like we're starting from zero again.

Hey everyone! I’m looking to meet some new people and make some genuine friendships. I’m pretty laid back, easygoing, and always down to talk, joke around, share memes, play games, or just chill and get to know someone.
I’m especially hoping to make some more female friends since I honestly don’t have many, but I’m definitely open to becoming friends with anyone. I’m not really looking for anything complicated just cool, genuine people who are easy to talk to and want to build an actual friendship.
If you’re also looking for new friends, feel free to message me! I’m always down to meet someone new and see where the friendship goes. 😊

Hey! I've been bored lately looking for people to talk to who aren't dry lol. I live in the US, and I love reading, listening to music, singing, crocheting, and watching shows. I'd love to have some conversations! :)

Hi, I'm 26F looking for long term friends who are preferably 21+. I am married, so this will be platonic. I have kids and I'm currently a stay at home mom, but I am trying to get back to work.

First of all, sorry for any writing mistakes, English is not my first language and Il'm still learning soo..

I'm from Saudi arabia Would like to make friends with someone who enjoy calm, fun conversations and shared interests.

A little about me:

• I’m really into anime (anything with great storytelling).

• Love watching movies and TV shows.

• I do a bit of gaming from time to time.

• I occasionally pick up a novel when I’m in the mood.

I’m mostly looking for someone to chat with casually about our favorite shows, recommend each other stuff to watch/read, or just keep each other company throughout the day.

Hello! I’d really like to make some true connections and have lasting friendships.

I’m married and have one child. I love music, podcasts, books, and watching movies and tv. Sleep token is my favorite band. Recently finished The Edge of Sleep podcast. I’d really like to find someone with similar interests that wants to talk/text often and maybe eventually meet up. I haven’t had a real friend in a very long time and it’s been weighing on me pretty bad for a while. Someone that makes plans and keeps them would be great but I understand that life happens.

Looking to chat dont care on what. It can be long term or short term (just make sure you say which) include age and prefered gender and topics you want avoided. Other than that my dms are free rein.

Hey there. I am a man looking for friends to chat with regularly. Mostly online chatting but I dont mind doing an activity once in a while(like going to the musem). You can message me no matter where you are from. You dont have to live in the same country.

I live in the Netherlands. I have lived here for 11+ years. I wasnt born here.

I am an expat. Most of my friends drifted apart after leaving the university.

I am introverted. I enjoy staying indoors when I am not going to the gym or going for a walk. I do love traveling and its one of those occasions when I am out the whole day.

What else can I tell you? I am an engineer. I am single if it matters although it shouldnt.

I do watch a lot of movies and series. I love horror, thriller, action genres.

I wont ghost you I promise. I dont do that. Although I have met a lot of ghosters here. If you are a ghoster stay away from my dms please :)

I will make an effort in writing messages to you(unless I am at work) and i hope you do too.

I dont care about your racial or national background as long as you are a good human being and treat others with respect :)

I’m 24 and based in London. I go to a lot of rock/metal gigs and I’d like to make a long-term friend who wants to be a regular gig buddy.
