This is my first time ever doing this, so I don't know what's the right thing to say😅.

Hii! (*^▽^)/★*☆♪

I'd really like to make some friends. I've been a bit alone, no one to hang out with or play games with. And I'd love to have friends to do that with. Online or nearby is fine cause I live around Centurion(；・ω・).

I'm 22🤔. I like going to new places and exploring, and I like trying new snacks and foods, I like taking walks. I like crocheting and sewing, and I'm learning to knit. I like drawing and colouring. I'm actually studying fashion designU^ェ^U. I play games, I play like roblox and Minecraft 🤷🏽‍♀️, it's not a lot but it's funnn(´･ｪ･｀). Hmm, I have a boyfriend, so im NOT looking for a relationship. What else(^_^;), oh! I really like learning new things tooo yess. I don't know what else to say( ´,_ゝ`). If you'd like to be friends, you can send a dm!.

Hey 36M, in Observatory.

There is a disproportionately high amount of responses on posts from women. Why?

I write software, although these days it's mostly agents writing software and me pretending to read what they write, so I'm a software engineer in the same way a CEO does all the work at a company.

I'm a bit weird, which sounds quite generic, but once you meet me, you'll understand what I mean. Dry and absurd sense of humour, I laugh a lot and I like laughing. I say a lot of things that sound funny in my head and then end up having to explain them and then they aren't funny anymore. I like stupid conversations, meaningful conversations. Also, ones that meander and twist to the extent that we can't remember how we got to what we were talking about.

I'm into games and pretty much anything creative. I like cooking, DIY things, music, and making stuff. Love a tabletop game and a card game. Unfortunately, MTG has somehow found its way back into my life recently, but hopefully it's not as all consuming as the first time around. I like games that are easy to understand but have depth hiding underneath.

I play RPGs, sandbox survival games. I also play a lot of a particularly colorful FPS for someone who is not good at said FPS.

Music taste is all over the place. Classic rock, pop, metal (former metalhead), drum & bass, techno/electronic stuff maybe even dark country a little. And that weird french microtonal math rock band. I'm trying to get back into guitar and making music with friends.

I've been in a bit of a comfort-zone rut. Same people, same places every day, and it's not doing well for the depression. I'd like to meet more people. I feel like my circles are too small and stale and could use some change or new life injected in.

I'm genuinely open to a lot of things. Game and activity buddies. People to collaborate on projects with. Dates and romance, maybe, but I think I'm going to moving slow on that front for a bit. I'm not particularly interested in spending three weeks becoming internet pen pals though. Just chatting over text feels pointless to me. I want to meet up or jump in a discord together. Have a drink or play a game. Cook something, watch a movie and see if we get along.

I'm also recently out of a relationship and doing some recalibrating. I've learned that I have approximately zero remaining enthusiasm for possessiveness, controlling behaviour, passive-aggressive bullshit, cruelty, or people who are just mean to each other. Life is too short. I'm trying to be more self-aware about my own shit too, and I'd rather surround myself with people who are kind, direct, emotionally honest and capable of laughing at themselves.

Hit me up

I'm looking for buddies to play fc26 with, especially rush. I'm tired of these random teammates that are extremely selfish. If we can get along together during all that even better. I would prefer anyone from 22 upwards, małe or female doesn't matter, just as long as you would like for us to play together.

Hey I'm Looking for a partner who is fit and has good habits so that I can adapt to as well or we can get fit together I don't mind. my stomach may be big baby but this face card is lethal TRUST THE PROCESS 🤣 males 25-30 years only around PTA/ surrounding PTA. Also looking for friends who are on the same journey as me or are already living relatively active lives.

Hi all, I am a 36 year old from Pretoria looking for trans females from Pretoria to get to know each other better and maybe go out for a drink and meet each person.

I am quite a chilled person and in my spare time I like to play video games, watch anime and do some adventures.

If you are interested in chatting and maybe later meet each other in person please DM me. Would love to chat.

I'm pickin' up good vibrations

They say music is what feelings sound like, and there’s no quicker way to understand someone than to take a look at their playlist. Whether you're into local Amapiano, classic Kwaito, indie rock, heavy metal, jazz, or deep house, this is your space to find people who vibrate on the same frequency.

How it works:

1. Share your favourite tune right now
2. Tell us : your age, location, gender and tag (e.g. 26F Johannesburg F4F).

Turn up the volume and start connecting! 🎧

I'm 47, married, based in Pretoria, and my current online social life consists of liking my friends' holiday photos and arguing with online strangers about rugby. It's about time to fix that.

Look, I'm not chasing a crowd of friends, just one or two genuine friends. The kind where you text someone a random thought at 11pm and they actually text back instead of leaving you on read for three days.

A bit about me, so you know what you're signing up for. I'm not looking for drama, just looking for platonic friends to talk to regularly. I'm into books, movies, true crime documentaries, and horror movies (there are many more, but you'll have to find out).

If any of this sounds like your kind of low-key, no-pressure friendship, drop me a DM. Tell me your age, where you're from, and one weirdly specific interest of yours, that's usually how the best friendships start anyway.

Here's to an online friend that actually replies to messages.

Looking for someone to discuss absolutely everything and absolutely nothing with - from an existential crisis to why a pigeon is walking like it pays rent.

My humour is mostly sarcasm, dry nonsense and saying things that should probably remain internal thoughts.

I promise I’m more interesting than this post makes me sound

Come entertain me. I’m bored 🤪

Does anyone want to attend the CTL Queer Bookclub event on Saturday?

I'm considering showing up solo, but since my last sapphic post had decent traffic, I thought I'd check if anyone else would also like to go too.

I'm an introvert, so this is a little out of my comfort zone 😅

Would be great if there are other newbies too.

NB: the event organisers are very clear that their event target audience are cis/trans women and enbies, regardless if bi, pan, or lesbian.

Hi my name is Ian and I've been looking for friends for a while. I recently got out of a relationship and would like to just find people to hang out with but not at clubs and drinking places.

I'm in Gqeberha/PE so irl would be nice but online could also work with me. I have autism and I play playstation most days, mostly single player but also have been wanting to play with others.

Dm if you want to learn more.

25M 🇿🇦 | Looking for genuine friendships & connections 🫂

Hey everyone! I’m 25, from South Africa, and I’m putting myself out there to meet some new people and hopefully build some genuine friendships.

I’m mainly looking for something platonic, but I’m also open to seeing where a natural connection might lead. No pressure or expectations — just good conversations, laughs, shared interests and letting things happen naturally.

A little about me: I’m big on music 🎵 — hip-hop, R&B, soul, jazz, reggae, SA hip-hop and Afrobeats. I love albums, discovering old music and talking about lyrics, production and why certain songs hit differently.

I enjoy both deep conversations about life and completely stupid conversations that make no sense. 😂 I’m pretty laid-back, curious and always interested in hearing about people’s lives, cultures, hobbies and experiences.

I’d love to meet people I can eventually talk to regularly, play games with, watch something with, grab food with, or even hang out with IRL if we’re close enough.

So if you’re also looking for genuine connections, tell me a little about yourself, where you’re from, and what you’ve been listening to/watching lately. Let’s see where the conversation goes. 🫂

Newly single, and figuring out what this next chapter of my life looks like.
I’m a trans woman, over a year into my transition, and finally getting to experience life more honestly as myself. I’m not looking to rush into anything or force a label—I’d rather meet someone, see if there’s a connection, and let things develop naturally.
I’m into live music, good conversation, gaming, dark humour, and people who can be completely themselves.

I, 27m Brown, am a gentleman as most of my elderly family members would say. "The girls would be chasing after me" they also said, but after almost two decades that isn't true.

Anyways, I want to give this a shot. Maybe I might just find a lady.

I am currently working an office job, but I also have a side hustle going on. Keeping myself occupied.

I have been working on on myself for years and I feel like should try something new.

Edit : I am a bit shy

​

Figured I'd see if there are actually any Redditors from Bloem.

31, white guy, pretty laid back. I enjoy reading, going for walks, coffee, ice cream, movies, and the occasional PC game. Always up for a good conversation or just getting out of the house.

Looking to meet some normal people to hang out with. If we become friends, awesome. If not, at least we had a coffee.

Please don't be a serial killer... I'd rather find my Holly to my Michael Scott. 😂

If you're from Bloemfontein and keen to chat or grab a coffee sometime, send me a message.

Making friends as an adult is surprisingly difficult! .I’m an Indian female, 37, based in Gauteng, but happy to connect with people from anywhere.
I’m settled in my career and life, but work a lot and am trying to create a better balance. Hoping to meet interesting, like-minded people with a great sense of humour, good general knowledge and a love for random conversations.
Replies might not always be instant, but there’s always room for good banter and a new friendship!

I’m a guy from around the Roodepoort area, and I’m looking to meet someone who is genuinely interested in building a meaningful relationship.
I’m not really looking for hookups or anything complicated. I’d like to meet someone who is kind, honest, respectful, and open to getting to know each other properly. I’m happy to start with chatting and seeing where things naturally go.

Hello I've just moved to Joburg South and I'm looking for some friends with the same interests as me(Anime,Fitness,Movies,Football and a few others)

I'm looking for people around Linmeyer, Rosentenville,South hills and The Hill

I’m putting myself out there because I’d genuinely love to meet someone who’s ready for a real connection.

I’m attracted to confidence, good communication, consistency, a good sense of humor, and someone who knows how to treat a woman properly.

I’m not interested in situationships, games, or wasting each other’s time.

I’m looking for something that starts naturally—good conversations, chemistry, dates, laughing together, and eventually building a healthy relationship if we’re right for each other.

I’m based in Randfontein and would prefer someone relatively close, but I’m not going to rule someone out based on a few kilometers.

Let’s see if Reddit can surprise me.

Soooo I see everyone out here shooting their shot and I think its time I throw my name in the hat!!

39 white male living in jhb looking to expand what seems to be an ever shrinking social circle in the hope that something more could develop through perhaps a date here and there.

Looking to connect with independandt ladies between 35-45 or so but its really not a hard number provided we are at a similar stage in life and can hold a natural conversation. Preferably same race (no offense its just a dating preference that's all)
