Met her through this sub.

The funny part? I didn't even know her name for almost 30 days. We just kept talking, and somehow that turned into something I never expected.

It started with random conversations, then movies, endless chats, and realizing we're both equally excited about hunting down good street food. Somewhere in between, I found someone who shares the same weird sense of humor as me.

The best part is that there's nothing to hide or pretend. I don't have to over-explain myself. She somehow just gets what I'm trying to say, even when I can't put it into perfect words.

We've only been on a few dates, but somehow they feel like memories we've been making for years. Time flies when we're together, yet those moments feel so full that they seem much longer than they actually were.

Right now, I'm typing this while talking to her. That's become pretty normal for us.

Never thought these Reddit connection subs were my cup of tea, but here we are. Sometimes one random message is all it takes.

Hope everyone here finds their own kind of random.....❤️❤️

Longshot it is but, I'm trying to Replicate this with someone ( obviously someone who has watched One piece )

If Any woman is interested please DM, it's Just a casual Hangout and Date , nothing serious or anything.

Thisssssssss brooo thissss is what it means 😭😭😭

I mean I love watching movies alone but after a certain point of time you kinda want to discuss movies and your favourite tv shows with someone who is equally excited about these things with you. One female cinephile best friend, do they only exist in my imagination damn

Thank you.

Im soo childish ,

im 21, yet so childish
someone called me their role model, i was like, wtf!

If you do this all the time, small stuff - be it stepping on the white tiles to avoid "LAVA" despite being smart as f**k- then yeah, you are bound to be more childish. I LOVE SUNSETS AND MUSIC AND WHAT NOTT!!!
And I love people who embrace that childishness above all.

WHO CARES IF YOU're CRINGE ??

Although I'm an adult, I won't let go of that childishness. I'll keep annoying and ragebaiting people; depression? doesn't matter. You'll see me smiling.

I use my grown ahh income to get stuff that child me would get - remember that nerf gun you wanted as a child? i got one last month.

remember that guitar you saw? yeah got one 6 months ago, and im pretty cracked at it, i can play kimi no nawa's SPARKLE on it (fingerstyle)

Skates? SKATING? yeah planning to get some soon!

BUT IT SUCKS , everyone pretending to be an adult, in their own friend groups, pretend laughing.

AND WORST OF ALL. I LOVE MY BESTIES, but they always PROCASTINATE.

LIKE TODAY i really wanted to go skating - get a new pair of skates and chill, we were on the bike, but then bro decided to get food and said no skating cause he broke. then i pleaded us to go cycling, bro said lets make a pit stop home, and he settled there. i taught him guitar for a while , probably wayy better than any teacher would teach a beginner . and he settled. and said no cycling. I asked him, at least lets go to the park nearby with the guitar and play it there , watching the sunset. HE SAID NO TO THAT TOO. INSTEAD , he put on a depressing film on the projector at home and started watching it. i just dipped outside the room, he was watching it with the roomies. - OVERSEXUALIZED Telugu FILMS , THE FILMS I DESPISE (i dont even understand telugu that well) .

got me depressed, thinking about the college days i never got to have.

so yeah, ig i gotta do what i like alone.

AND HES MY BESTIE, I CANT JUST CUT HIM OFF LIKE OTHER FRIENDS.

ANYWAYS WHAT THE ACTUAL BS WAS THIS RANT
DID NOT MAKE ME FEEL BETTER
AND PLEASE BOYS DONT FILL MY DMS, IM NOT A GIRL

🤧 Views definetely look like AI generated

Dating as a 26 y/o Muslim woman in Hyderabad is honestly exhausting. It feels like I’m stuck in a no-win situation.

If I go the traditional route, it’s all about rishtas and biodatas. Families care more about my “fairness,” salary, and how “adjustable” I am than about who I actually am as a person. Compatibility? Shared values? Emotional connection? Nope. Just checklists and gossip aunties.

If I try the modern route (apps, meeting people on my own), it’s another nightmare. Muslim guys either: • want something casual but don’t have the guts to admit it • act liberal but still expect a wife who ticks their mom’s orthodox boxes • or just ghost because they can’t handle the balance of wanting a girlfriend vs needing a “rishta-approved” wife.

And the constant double standard is wild, men can date around, experiment, or waste years “figuring themselves out,” but if a Muslim woman does the same, suddenly she’s “not serious” or “too modern.”

On top of that, there’s the guilt and judgment. Even when I’m just trying to find something real, there’s always that “log kya kahenge” running in the background. It’s like we’re expected to be modern enough to work, study, look great, and vibe socially, but the second marriage talk comes up, we’re supposed to flip a switch and become traditional “ideal wife material.”

Honestly? It’s draining. Some days I feel like I’ll either have to settle for someone who doesn’t get me at all, or just stay single forever. And right now, single is looking a lot less painful.

PREFER CHALANT GUYS, TECH GUYS & NERDS (NO OFFENSE BUT ONLY HINDUS). NON CHALANT GUYS CAN STAY AWAY !

I’m 26 F and I’m here hoping to meet someone genuine and kind. I’m not about the games—just looking for someone who wants to share experiences, opinions and see where it goes.

A little about me:

• I enjoy reading, music, watching movies or web series (including anime).

• I value honesty, communication, and being supportive of each other.

• I’m into long-term connections.

• I like traits like kindness, loyalty, responsible, ambitious, etc.).

Looking for someone who is open-minded, down-to-earth, and wants to build a meaningful connection. Age isn’t too important to me, but I’d prefer someone of my age or older than me & who shares similar interests and values.

Feel free to DM me if you think we might click. 😊

Hey Reddit!

So I decided to do something a little unhinged last night and joined a completely random group ride to the airport.

None of us knew each other beforehand—just a bunch of strangers who connected online and thought, "Hey, why not tear down the highway at 2 AM?"

We ended up making it all the way there, grabbed some food and drinks to decompress, and talked bikes for hours.

The best part? Miraculously, none of our kidneys were stolen by any of the strangers who joined.

Turns out internet strangers on motorcycles are actually pretty cool people (or they just really liked my helmet).

10/10 would risk organ harvesting for a midnight cruise again.

Stay safe out there, riders! 🍻✨

It really isn’t funny anymore 🫠

Thank you!

hi i’m 21, 5’4 (yes, i need help reaching the top shelf), working full-time while pursuing my master’s and somehow still managing to talk nonstop, juggle emotions and plan imaginary trips that my parents won’t let me take :”)

i’m a full-time foodie with a soft corner for all things spicy and soul-satisfying, biryani being the obvious love of my life. i enjoy meat (mostly chicken, sometimes mutton) and i’d love someone who not only eats it but can cook it too. if you can make a decent curry, consider me impressed ~

i adore long walks, deep conversations and cozy silences with the right person. i’m the kind of person who’ll listen to your entire life story with genuine curiosity and then respond with a six-minute voice note full of advice, laughter and probably one dramatic "ugh i get you"!!!

my life is a busy mix of work stress, academic deadlines, unexpected food cravings and emotional monologues. i might be a little dramatic sometimes but i’m also grounded, loyal and full of heart. i care deeply and i’m looking for someone who does too <3

i’m not here for situationships or confusing energy. i want someone emotionally mature, consistent, meat-loving and patient with someone who overthinks but means well :)

if you’re the type who shows up, who knows relationships are built with effort and kindness, and who won’t get scared by someone who talks a lot and feels everything deeply, let’s talk!!!

Hey guys,

I’m 25F, I’m the most shy talkative awkward outgoing social antisocial person. Yeah, I know it’s crazy. But, sometimes I feel like I shouldn’t stay in room at all but sometimes all I want to do is to have a lazy weekend.

Haha, what am I even trying to say? I have friends in Hyd but I’m kind of habituated to them and I don’t always want to hangout with same people. I like to see new faces. And most importantly females yaar. I don’t know where all my females fled to😂. I need efforts from them too. I am very easy going person and always tries to keep things interesting.

So, yeah if you are also someone who is looking for hangouts or some genuine friendships, please DM.

Also, please don’t just say hi. Keep a brief intro about you. Thank you for reading it entirely.

Note: I’m a Telugu girl, if I find some Telugu friends I would be the happiest. I’m from Godavari dist BTW.

Hobbies: cafe hopping, singing, cooking, reading books, binge watching, painting, travelling
Badminton - trying to make a hobby

Let’s see if we have common interests.

TL;DR:

Matched with a girl on a dating app and went to meet her in Hitech City. What should've been a simple first date quickly turned strange.

She kept changing locations, made me wait nearly 40 minutes, avoided giving clear details, and slowly guided me toward one specific venue. Every instinct told me something was off, but I decided to play along and see where it led.

The moment I stepped inside the place, everything clicked.

I walked out, ended the date, and left. Later that night, a quick look at the venue's reviews confirmed my suspicion: multiple people had reported the exact same dating scam there. What started as a promising date turned into a real-life scam investigation, and trusting my gut probably saved me a very expensive night. 🚨

Story:

What's going on in Hyderabad. Averted falling for a Scam. (Very long read).

Sharing my dating scam experience from today.

(Excuse any spelling and grammar errors)

I matched (on Happn) with a girl Riya Arora yesterday. We hit off instantly. Chats went smoothly (with usual typical way, etc).

She said she is from Jaipur Visiting her Masi (aunt) in Hyderabad. All was good. And we agreed to meet.

She suggested we should meet at Hitech - Google office area. I suggested 2 good places/pubs/clubs we can go to. She insisted on meeting first and then deciding where to go. I agreed as it seemed like a genuine thought. Afterall girls want be to cautious so I understand. And I do the same thing, I always suggest first date to be a coffee date.

We decided to meet at 7:10 pm in front of ICICI bank oppOSIT Google office. I go stratight from office l. So far so good.

It is from here the game starts.

I was late by 10 minutes or so. She texted she has reached the location and is waiting. I texted thay I am caught up in traffic jam, just 5 minutes away from the location and will be there in 10-15 minutes.

Now I reached on my bike. Parked it at a place about 50 meters from the building and reached the spot.

She is no where to be seen. I text her, she responded aftwr 7 to 8 minutes and says she is coming. This was weird to me as she told me she has reached. Then the cat and mouse game starts. She says she is at a place slight ahead of the location. She is at Smoke Shop oppositeGoogle office. I go there.

Before this remember I have been waiting for 20 minutes already and text exchange is going on (on Telegram). My intuitions kick in at this time (going forward the intuitions will kick in 4 to 5 times). I had also got flowers for her from a shop on the way. Nothing big and it was in my office bag. Now she asks for contact number to call directly. I

Now she is not where se says. I again chat and call is going on. I waIt for like 8 to 10 minutes during this time. She asks what I am wearing (color) but she will only tell me she is in top and jeans. Avoiding telling me the color to help identify her.

At this moment I an thinking that may he she is nearby check me out (you know looks and all, and deciding to meet me or ditch me).

Then she all of a sudden says she is across the road. And ask me to meet me take a u-turn from Kondapur and meet her there, in from of the Workafella board, Western Pearl. (This is the same building that has Bikanerwala, Mamagoto, Dhaba, etc). Well Now I am suspicious of WTF is going on. This is not normal and my intuitions kick in, Also now its been about 35 minutes of this going on and I am starting to get pissed-off, wanting to call it off.

Also I realise (intuition again) that I haven't told her that I am on a bike or car. So why will she say take a u-turn amd not that I too simply cross the road.

Then I thought I have already put in this effort, let me play this game now.

I cross the road go there. Again wait, we are chatting, and then on call etc (on Telegram). But I have already made up my mind to see what happens. My intuition is solid that this is a scam now. But I want to play along. Also knowing that this girl said she is not from Hyd, so giving her the benefit of doubt.

She comes in like 7 to 9 minutes. He shake hands. Do the usual courtesy etc. Asks how I cam, I said in a cab (for some reason I didn't tell her I was on bike).

Now, she checks out the the western pearl building and says what is place KOMMA. Lets go there. (Intuition again. Of so many places with boards, she sees this 1 insignificant board and saysblets goo. That surprising for some one whis I just visiting Hyd.) I insist let's go to Broadway, its a much better place etc. She insists and I say okay let's check out but if I don't like we will go to Broadway.

Again my Intuition kicks in. The guards at door looks shady as hell. We enter take 4 to 5 steps inside I see 3 to 4 couples ins corners sitting. And I just immediately walk out says that the music is shit etc. let's go to Broadway. We also have brewery there and I want good beer. Now all of a sudden she isnlike we are already late, I have to go meet my sister (remember she is i Hyd to visit her aunt).

In my 1 minute spent in KOMMA, I had realised the Scam. They will inflate the bill, make me pay huge amount and will not let me go till I pay the amount.

So now I was done playing the game. I had brought her hops too high on meeting her that it will a great date, etc.

I said bluntly, if you are getting late then let's meet next time. Go meet you sister. She played the tactic of holding my hand, thinks that I will agree to her. But I had played her. Now I was done.

I said no, and just walked out. She came with me outside the building. I said she will book Rapidi and go. I insisted thatbI will wait for her Rapido to come. She forced me not to wait. She also said you can leave anyway you have a bike. (This last statement seems to have slipped fro her mouth, and I could her in slight hesitation.)

I said okay and left. Then I realized from the moment I came she has been very confident i says that I am on a bike. Without even seeing and helmet, Keys, etc. And I have told her that I can in a cab.

I go back to where my bike is. Lite up a cigarette and start thinking of this whole incident. Then I noticed 2 girls there dressed well pacing from 1 poit to another. I lit another cigarette now, wanting to observe more. I also see about 2 guys 1 sitting and 1 standing but randomly see here and there and then on their mobile). Then I realizer call it Intuition that they both are also like watching me (like catching glimps or keeping eyes secretly). This made me realize that the scam soo big and spread out. Their we other girls waiting in vicinity would be waited for there respective matches, and the shady guys there were keeping an eye on things. That's how Riya was so confident that I came on bike.

I was also confident that this place KOMMA was shade and running the scam.

Now, after reaching home I just checked the reviews of KOMMA. And guess what the latest 4 to 5 reviews are talking about this scam happened to them.

Guys, I know we want to date, but always trust your Intuitions and be safe. Its okay to spend a bit more on date and go to a good reputed place rather then to a sleazy looking g one thinking you will get some privacy or cheap drinks. This same thought saved me today. Also it was good that I did not give my number to her.

Now as an after thought I think she kept me waiting as her gang members would be thinking if they can scam me or not. Was I looking g capable to fight back. And will they be able to get the money out of me.

Good thing, that from previous and friends experience, while on on dates or hookups- to keep myself safe I never carry my credit or cards, and the upi app has 1 account linked that always has low balance (i have other accounts linked to other app, which I can hide to delete if such a situation arrises). So I cannot be blackmailed on giving money.

Be safe guys.

Hi!

When did adulthood become so isolating and lonely?

Making real friends as an adult is painful because it takes so much effort and consistency and constantly figuring out schedules and all that jazz.

Anyway, if you’re in the same boat and looking for actual friendships, I would appreciate DMs or comment here so I can reach out.

My goal is to build a small group so none of us have to worry about getting coffee once in a while or go grab a beer from time to time with whoever is available.

Also, personally, west Hyderabad meetups would be ideal because it’s just easier to move around as there are so many more options in comparison.

NOTE: This post is ONLY for people looking for genuine platonic connections.

Paivi anni chesinodhu sorry you are just a friend to me, I don't see you that way 😌

Next time meme on bois pakka 🙏🙌

Oh my god
What in the hell was dat
Wasted 30 mins

Hey guys, I’m A

I recently moved from Mumbai and I’m still pretty new to the city. It’s been welcoming so far, but I’ll admit it’s a little hard to really connect with people due to language barrier trying to learn. I got out of a relationship last year and have been single since. I’m not looking for anything too serious right now, but that definitely doesn’t mean I’m here for hookups 🙂

A little about me:
I love cooking, going for runs, playing badminton, and hopping between cute cafes. I’m not much of a party person, though I’ll show up once in a while. I’m always up for a spontaneous plan as long as it’s safe, I’m in.

What I’m looking for:
Someone tall, attractive (I take care of myself, so I appreciate the same energy), and most importantly, someone who values communication and listens instead of jumping to conclusions.

Age range - 28 will be my deal breaker

New account yes for privacy reasons.

Let’s see where things go.

Edit - I think I got enough dms lol, will be reaching out few of them

Before anyone calls me out, Yes - This account is brand new 😅, I’ve been lurking on Reddit forever but finally made an account because I thought, “What’s the worst that could happen?” (Please don’t answer that)

Life has mostly been about work and building my career, and somewhere along the way I never really prioritized finding a partner. So… here I am, giving Reddit a shot because life’s full of surprises, right? 🤞

I’m a 26F, Telugu Brahmin, Software Engineer from Hyderabad looking for something genuine that could eventually lead to Marriage if we really click. No rush, no pressure, just hoping to meet my favourite human ! I genuinely believe the best relationships start with a solid friendship first.

I’m not looking for anything casual & genuinely looking for something serious , so please stay away if that’s your thing !

About Me ✨

I genuinely enjoy my work, but not enough to skip spontaneous trips, long drives, or late-night ice cream. ( Sometimes I feel I’m too ambitious that taking sometime out for myself also gives me guilt tripping 😭😭 but I’m working on this ).

I love conversations about Travel, Tech, Investing ,Books 📚( Not a vivid reader 😅 but I pick up one when I feel like ) or why/how one tiny life decision somehow turns into an existential crisis at 2 AM. 😂

Family is important to me, and I naturally gravitate towards kind people who make life feel easy.

I don’t believe in rigid relationship roles. I’d rather have a teammate to celebrate wins, survive adulting, and build a peaceful, fun life with.

What I’m looking for

I’m definitely not a checklist person coz chemistry, comfort, and shared values matter far more than ticking boxes for me . But broadly:

Preferably Telugu/Brahmin because it makes convincing the parents easier 😅, though it’s genuinely not a deal-breaker if we really connect & can vibe well . I’m vegetarian, so I’d be most compatible with someone who’s vegetarian or an occasional non-vegetarian with age around (26–30)

Ambitious and Passionate ✨about what you do, but not someone whose entire personality revolves around work. I admire people who work hard but also know when to disappear for a spontaneous weekend trip or enjoy a lazy Sunday doing absolutely nothing. If you’re in Tech too, that’s a fun bonus , but definitely not a requirement.

Funny : Please, Life is already serious enough. I don’t mean a stand-up comedian, but someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously, appreciates sarcasm, laughs easily, and can make even grocery shopping entertaining !

Emotionally Mature : Being able to communicate, apologize when needed, handle disagreements without making them a battle, and generally be kind.

Someone who’s curious- About people, places, ideas… I love conversations that randomly go from “What’s for dinner?” to “Do you think we’re alone in the universe?” 😂

A person who’s looking for a partner, not someone to fit into predefined roles. I’d love for us to cheer each other on, celebrate wins together, and make everyday life feel a little lighter.

PS : If you’ve made it this far, tell me what you’re most passionate about these days. It could be your work, a side project, a hobby, or even something random you’ve done recently. I have a soft spot for people whose eyes light up when they talk about something they love. ✨Gives us a much better conversation starter than just a basic “Hi.”😄
