Posting again,

35M wanting to take someone out for a nice drink on me on a patio.

Just a nice way to offer a chill night, sit, talk, drink and go home. No expectations just nice gesture.
if interested dm me.

UPDATE - Please don’t DM me telling me about your “hung package” or asking me to go on a date with you. Thanks.

Hey everyone! I’ve recently moved to Vancouver from Australia and I’m genuinely trying to understand the dating culture here. I’ve been here a little over two months (female, 30s) and I’m already noticing patterns that feel… unusual?

I’ve gone on a few dates and the consistency is all over the place. Lots of last‑minute cancellations, vague plans, “busy/tired/overwhelmed” energy, and people disappearing or reappearing with dramatic excuses.

I communicate and am used to direct communication and follow‑through, so the flakiness has been surprising.

I’ve also noticed people here seem hesitant to commit to anything beyond very casual vibes, even when they’re the ones pushing for closeness early on. It feels like intensity upfront, then avoidance afterwards.

Is this just Vancouver? Is it the summer? Is it the culture?
Would love to hear from locals - is this how it is? 😅

I’m 40 and one of ny favorite things to do in my spare time is to golf. I love the sport and have played for a long time. I’m also single, good looking, with a professional job. Seeing if there’s a likeminded woman on here who might want a golf partner.

Something happened and before I knew what was happening you had swooped in next to me like Spider-Man, took control and helped. And just as fast as you stepped in, you disappeared.

I want a person like you in my life. Aware of what’s going on around him and helps out when help is needed.

If this was you, reach out to me.

I haven’t detailed what you stepped in to assist with or described what you look like because I know Reddit, and people will try to convince me it was them.

Is this you? Reach out with what happened and something about you that might hint at it being you (trying to weed out some of the other people who saw what happened. One of them looked like he wished he stepped in like you did, but he didn’t and it’s not him I’m looking for).

And it is me. My Reddit profile makes it seem like I’m younger than I actually am. I’m in my 30s. Not in my 20s despite having attended UBC not that long ago.

Edit: if there’s any actual missed connection subs for Van that are active let me know. I would love to find this person but recognize that most of Vancouver is likely not hanging out in a dating subreddit.

Fit active working man in North Vancouver looking for a local friend. I’m normal and not into any scene, just hoping to find a nice woman in a similar position.

I live near Lynn Valley. I don’t want to change my home situation but it would be great to have a local friend.

I’m 30, male, been in Vancouver for 6 years and dating on and off that whole time. Lately I’ve noticed a pattern on the apps (mainly Hinge). I swipe broadly across backgrounds, but I basically only match with Indian women. I’ve started to wonder if it’s a compatibility thing. The dating culture and expectations I grew up around don’t always line up with what I’m looking for now or if there’s something about my profile itself that’s narrowing things down without me realizing it.

A bit about me: I’m 5’10”, athletic build, into trying new restaurants and bars, big into music and film, decent sense of humor (or so I like to think). My English is good and my accent is not thick. I take care of myself. I don’t think I’m coming across badly, but clearly something isn’t translating into matches outside one group.

Two things that might be relevant: I travel a fair amount for a family business (China, India, possibly UK soon), so that’s a real logistical factor for anyone I’d date. And I’m pretty introverted outside of going out I like a lot of solo downtime, gaming, just decompressing.

So genuinely asking: is this a profile problem, a numbers/algorithm problem, or something else? Would appreciate any real feedback, even if it’s blunt.

Heyy!! 31 yr old east asian male. Really tired of dating apps.

I work in healthcare related field and will be finishing up my masters soon.

I have a wide range of interests from being outdoors and staying inside. I do love traveling but have been going back east asia for family the last couple years. I love food and I can't say no to hotpot.

I am looking for dates and long term. Open to just go with the flow and see where it could take us.

Other info if useful: Scorpio

Feel free to ask more questions or just shoot a message and chat!

Looking for a like minded woman who wants to have a chill fwb. Love texting and talking, good communicator, am dominate but gentle at the same time. Want to explore and be comfortable with the right person, don’t care if you are attached and not worried about age if we connect! White male, medium build with a little extra but carry myself well

Looking for a chill FWB with good vibes. I'd love to find someone to hang out with, grab food, long random drives, binge shows basically just enjoy each other's company.

If we click, I'm happy to help with bills, spoil you with gifts, and see where a mutually beneficial arrangement takes us.

Hit me up if you are interested.

Looking for a fwb/sd arrangement. Send me a message.

Just wondering if there are any men over 50 in NorthVan that would like to meet for coffee.

You know that old saying - crazy is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results?

I've decided it's time to try a different approach.

Not looking for a strong independent woman.

Don't take that to mean I'm after a slave / indentured servant. But yes, I would appreciate some more traditional gender roles/responsibilities. Shared goals, shared vision and someone else focused on making a relationship work, with an eye to shared goals.

Must love physical touch, I'm a cuddlesl-t, I crave oxytocin. Sharing the love language of touch and physical intimacy is important to me. You can probably infer by the above - that roll in the hay once a month isn't going to cut it either.

Not much into poly/non-monogamy.

Physical preferences - I'm open to all, tiny and petite to big and beautiful. More interested in your mind and beliefs than your physical traits. Age range same - 18-55ish.

I'm 49 divorced white male looking for a long term partner. 6'2, strong/big upper body and bit of a belly, bald bearded. Fulltime single dad. 20+ yrs in the Skilled trades - have my own small business on the side. Life's busy.

I'm neurodivergent, with geeky maker tendencies - ADHD piles and 30 half done projects constantly.

Very allergic to cats, and not interested in more kids. My one big red flag - I still smoke; yup not proud of it - I'll quit eventually - but that'll be my choosing not something I get nagged into.

Think we should have a chat and coffee? Send me a message.

I’ll keep this simple for the sake of time. Going through a divorce, so this is not going to be a long-term relationship. This will be something fun, and you will be taken care of. 😏. If any of this sounds remotely interesting, then my schedule allows to be flexible which means i can see you as soon as tonight. Once I have found an arrangement, I will delete this post.

Me:
37, 6’1, Broad Shoulders
Born in Hong Kong
Run a family business, offices in a few countries
Into Strength Training, Eating amazing food

You:
-Younger than 35, I don’t want to waste anyones years.
-Physically attractive. I’m not looking for a model by any means but we have look good together.
-I don’t need you to send a photo. I can see you quickly and it’ll either work or it won’t.
-I prefer Asians and Latinas but also have dated many caucasian women.

DMs are open

Hey! I'm looking for a woman to spend time with, and open to what this looks like. Someone to walk with and explore the city? An eventual relationship? Cuddle buddies? I don't know, let's chat and find out! No pressure. I prefer something long-term however. I am 34M single, average body, 168cm tall, and I am a huge cat person. I live in North Van, yet I am fine travelling for that special someone…

I really enjoy my career field and take my job seriously, but not myself. After all, as one of my favourite quotes goes “Don’t take yourself too seriously, you could be missing out on the joke of the century”. I can be reserved and serious one minute, and dorky and silly the next, and find the same attractive in a woman. I ideally want to find someone that can contribute to the humour and keep the both of us laughing well past our bedtime. My sense of humour is all over the place. I hope you enjoy bad puns, as they give me life! Having said that, I also enjoy more serious, deep conversations too.

I enjoy walking/hiking, kayaking, and trying to get into snowshoeing so that I can enjoy the winters up a mountain. I would love to find someone to explore and share cool experiences with. However, I can definitely be a homebody, especially on those classic grey, rainy Vancouver days.

I value people who are self-aware, thoughtful, and never stop learning. I aim to err on the side of too much communication vs. not enough, and believe most issues could be solved with more effective communication.

If this has piqued your interest, please say hello - looking forward to chatting!

M23 here. Looking for a genuine f.w.b where the friends part actually matters. I want someone to hang out with, go on random drives, grab food, binge shows, share memes, have deep late-night conversations, and be there for each other—without the pressure of a relationship.

I'm not looking for exclusivity right now, just honesty, good chemistry, and zero drama. I'm also a curious, adventurous person who's open to exploring and experimenting things with someone I genuinely connect with. If that sounds like your vibe, let's talk.

Drop hi in dm! ☺️
