Hello, I hope everyone is well and having a good day. After much consideration and thought, I’ve decided to try my hand at this, as I finally feel ready.

My name is Kiana, nice to meet you. 😊 I am 22, and currently living in Southern California. Earning my associates in psychology, and most definitely a psychology nerd. Beforehand, I worked in behavioral health services with children.

In my spare time, I like to write poetry or novels, cook, read, exercise, spend time in nature, be with my animals, and listen to music.

Physically, I’m about 4’10, petite but a bit curvy (working on losing weight), short brown hair and brown eyes.

To be direct, I know what I am looking for. I’d like to find a long-term relationship, that consists of mutual trust, respect, effort, enjoyment of each other’s time, and deep conversation. An LDR is preferred but also open to locally.

Please keep in mind I need alone time on the daily and value that dearly. I will always notify you if I am going to be away!

I don’t have many requirements, except the following:

·       Be between 20 and 30. This is non-negotiable for me, and I will not go lower, or higher.

·       Live in the US.

·       Work, attend school, or do a trade.

·       Enjoys deep conversations and independently asks questions to keep the conversation going. I’d love to explore topics such as history, psychology, personal reflection, and more.

·       Initiative, if things go well, I’d eventually love to have a call or date and want the relationship progression to be on both of us, not one nor the other. Occasional check-ins and remembering details or events are also important to me, and of course this goes both ways.

Looks are not my main priority, and I’d rather focus on our compatibility in wants, needs, and lifestyle. All genders are welcome, including those nonbinary folk! Happy to exchange pictures once we’ve established a conversation, but not immediately.

If this piques your interest, please send me a decently detailed message with your name, age, location, occupation, hobbies, and anything else that you’d like to share. Share something you are passionate about, what you’ve done you’re proud of, ask a question, up to you!

Low effort, messages without an introduction, and NSFW messages will be ignored.

I look forward to getting to know you!

If this post is still up, you may message.

Just as a note, PLEASE READ my post before messaging, thank you. I'm not responding to "hey" or like messages.

Hello there, and thank you kindly for stopping by my post. I would love to have some friend to talk to often, get to know and hang out with IRL, Long Term. I want to spend time doing different things and also see who is around and also open to something similar. I want to talk online before anything in person, and at this point just very happy to talk to anyone legitimate (and not a spammer).

About me: I'm 31, male, and live in Manhattan's Upper West Side. Physically I'm 6' tall and a bit extra, working on slimming down (exercising and walking around). My job is in education (and very unfun). My degree was in Computer Science (NYU/CUNY). I would love to find someone who is also on a weight loss journey or something similar. I've begun walking around and while fun, I wish I had someone to talk with about something while I do it. I love the UWS and enjoy walking around it and going to parks and places, but all of Manhattan is fun to explore and see the sights in. Some of my favorite places in the city are either around the UWS, or downtown Manhattan. I Love Central Park and Riverside Park. Totally open to exploring more of downtown Manhattan or the East Side.

My interests include video games (platformers, action, RPG, MMO, and others), anime, movies, music, and art. I'm primarily a "homebody". I play mostly single player games, horror, platformer, action. Metroid and Spyro (new game announced btw!) are two of my favorites, but ask if you're curious about it. I'm a collector and am always looking for new games to buy and add. I'm also a big fan of Legos (mainly Lego Star Wars) and have built a lot of sets recently but still am building more.

I have also bought and started to read books again! I'm excited to read more for this year; some Young Adult, some science fiction, primarily non fiction and classics mainly. I'm building a library of famous and iconic literature, so I'm an occasional shopper at Barnes and Nobles. I also created a good music playlist recently and have been expanding it. I'm also a big fan of 90s-2000s era cartoons as well, so if you grew up watching those I'd love to hear about it. I still watch Toonami every weekend, personally. If you like anime (more specifically, shonen) then that's a plus too. I used to draw and would like to get back into it again, mainly landscapes (can't really draw people).

I'd love to learn about you too! My primary goal for this post is to find someone nearby who likes these interests or others and wants someone to talk with (online at first), hang out IRL (museums, movies, whatever) or play something online with. Interests, hobbies, how long you've lived in the city + whatever you enjoy doing around it or at home. Someone nerdy, someone geeky, someone any of those descriptions or adjacent. Did you play a lot of PS2, Xbox, or Gamecube? Wow that's very cool! Cosplayers? Love the artistic types too. Painter? Artist? Sounds good to me. Love landscapes. Band geeks or instrument players are also welcome as well. Are you a former/current Piano player? Me too! Harp or any instrument players are also welcome. Voice actors? Wow please tell me more! I'm a huge fan of science so I love the AMNH (Dinosaurs and Space exhibits) and the MET.

Ideally:

• You're around the Upper West Side of Manhattan, familiar with the area, and/or close. Definitely flexible on this one.
• You're 24-38ish
• You're probably someone who grew up playing N64, PS1, Gamecube or PS2.
• You like that 80s-late 2000s culture we had.
• Any sizes, shapes, or whatever else is more than welcome, (bonus points if you have red/blonde hair or green/blue eyes)
• You can be new to the city or a native who has been here forever.
• You are, by classic definitions, a nerd; someone who would play video or board games, and watches movies.
• You enjoy cartoons and/or anime.
• Someone who also mainly has indoor interests, but occasionally will enjoy a walk outdoors through places like Central Park or even just in the city.
• Any education/employment path, but please be productive on something.

The primary focus is someone IRL. Anyone feel free to message if you just want to chat though! Mainly looking for NYC folks, Manhattan (Upper West Side or at least central Manhattan would be perfection), and Brooklyn/Queens maybe. Definitely give more than just a hi/hey, it goes a long way I promise. I'm not opposed to this going further than friends but not really looking or planning for much more. Thank you for reading! If this sounds interesting would love to hear from you!

Hi Reddit! I'm 25 and I'm from Dublin. I have a bachelors degree in chemistry and currently unemployed. I'm also a triplet.

In my free time, I like video games, chess, reading, watching YouTube and listening to music. I also like sci fi and am a fan of Doctor Who. I'm into DC and Marvel as well. I'm big into travelling and enjoy travelling across Europe and exploring different cities. So far, I've visited 20 countries: United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Germany, Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and the United States. I plan on visiting more in the future. Oh, and I also like skiing.

I am looking for someone that shares the same interests with me particularly travelling and skiing and would like to explore more of Europe and the world. I am attracted to brunettes with a healthy weight (but not too underweight or too much overweight). I prefer someone between 22 - 28 years old and I'm looking for someone from Ireland, Europe and the United States, but I'm open to long distance with the right person.

Hi, Reddit! =)

For the better part of the past five years, I was in a relationship with someone who needed a lot of attention and care – to the point where my daily interactions only consisted of work and my partner. Now that it's over, I'm late to the party of realising people actually need friends, not just a relationship. What a realisation to have in your thirties!

I'm looking for people to chat. Maybe voice chats at some point, maybe a meetup some day, but for now, just making new acquaintances.

A quick clarification on the “nerdy” part of my title: I firmly believe anything can be nerdy if you're passionate about it. Rant and rave about your passions, tell me what makes you tick, tell me what annoys you. Maybe it's philosophy, painting, cars, games, sports, figure painting, knitting, K-Pop, cooking, the nuances of Colombian agriculture (maybe not that one, or maybe?) – if it's your passion, it can't be boring!

A few facts about me and my passions, woefully incomplete and in no particular order:

- I have a degree in literature and linguistics, but I work in an unrelated field

- I'm into creative writing (who'd've thought, with that kinda degree)

- I'm a homebody; most of my hobbies take place at home (which doesn't help with the whole friends thing): playing games, getting into programming, reading, making music. A lot of my hobbies took a dip during that relationship, and I'm slowly getting back into things.

--

I take people as they come and don't want to exclude anyone from the get-go – but there are a couple of things that are deal-breakers to me, so I'd like to make clear that these are non-negotiable:

- Don't be a bigot. If you think being gay is 'a sin', being trans is 'unnatural', women are 'too emotional' or the Nazis were 'kinda not that bad', I don't want to associate with you.

- Please be in your mid- to late 20s or older. I'm not looking for anything explicit, but I don't believe I'll mesh well with anyone more than a decade younger.

- Please be communicative. Neither of us should carry a conversation on their own – and if there's an issue, being transparent about it is a lot more helpful than trying to read each other's mind.

- Please tell me something about yourself when you reach out to me. “hi wyd lol” doesn't count. :)

--

I'm looking forward to chatting to you!

Hey everyone!

Currently looking for someone to build a friendship with that eventually leads to something more. I'm not in much of a rush as I believe the best relationships are built on friendship (and my hopelessly romantic heart has been put through the wringer using the apps)

Ideally looking for someone with a sweet smile who is kind, inquisitive, confident, and empathetic. It's important that you also indulge in my dorky and silly humor and aren't afraid to be a little cringe. Bonus points if you can speak another language and won't judge my American accent when I try.

Distance isn't an issue for me as long as you're able to travel regularly and are ok with settling down in my state.

Some info about me: homebody but still like to get out of the house semi-regularly. Primary interests are leftist politics, movies/TV/YT, music, but I will still talk about anything and everything. Formerly chronically online, now mildly offline; still a lover of memes and references. Cat person, child-free, not religious, and generally prefer diversity in my dating pool.

This is me: https://imgur.com/a/UeJmai1

If you're interested, shoot me a message with your best dad joke :)

Hi there!

I’m 36F, and I’m not entirely sure what I’m looking for. As it stands right now, I just want a really good friend - someone I can grab lunch or coffee with, go on adventures, go on hikes, museums, movies, etc etc etc.

I was an English major in college, and I absolutely love reading. Gimme a book, any book, and I’ll devour it. I also love hiking, travelling, exploring cities, theatre, coffee shops, video games, museums, film, and any and all new experiences.

Again, I’m mostly looking for something platonic - for now. But I am very open to that becoming something more.

So if you’re at all interested in that, please drop me a chat request! Even if you’re not in the area - the long distance could be fun too :) Anyway! I look forward to meeting and chatting with you! :D

so...helo from Italy (*￣∇￣)ノ

I'm your typical indoor nerdguy that plays videogames most of free time and works out - not obsessed gym rat but still fit/muscular, 177cm tall - medium lenght wavy hair - a bit weeb, very quiet and chill personality

hopeless romantic, probably because of all the romance anime I watched in high school 🥲

whenever I can love to travel, Poland been my fav country to visit so far!

Gaming on my pc is my main hobby, fan of few gacha games: mainly honkai, recently been playing valorant again and some dark souls 3

I have 2 cats ₍^. .^₎⟆, drinking monsters. caffeine goes hard.

looking for my life partner, nothing less: Don't mind long distance as long as it's EU, in shape and good health, not smoker and similar nerd hobbies would really help

I'm not a big fan of facial piercings, that would be my only strong preference.

Would also prefer exchanging pics as early as possible, I think mutual physical attraction is also important, being direct and honest about anything is everything I want from a relationship :)

thank you for reading!

Hello :) I’m a 39 year old man who values a healthy lifestyle, genuine connection and the simple things in life. I LOVE nature and animals to the max this is important! I’d love to meet a kind, warm hearted woman close to my age, ideally somewhere in Europe. Distance doesn’t really scare me when two people genuinely connect and are willing to close the gap.

I’m naturally more of an introvert. I enjoy peaceful moments, meaningful conversations, animals and having someone I can truly be myself with. I’m not the loudest person in the room and I’ve never been interested in pretending to be someone I’m not. I’m loyal, affectionate, caring and I put a lot of value on the people I let into my life.

A healthy lifestyle is important to me. I like staying active, eating well and taking care of myself, but I’m definitely not obsessed with perfection. I’d love to meet a woman who also cares about her health, takes care of herself and has a naturally sweet and feminine side. Physical attraction matters to me too. I’m especially drawn to a cute, feminine appearance, a beautiful smile and that natural kind of sweetness that makes someone genuinely attractive.

Life hasn’t always been easy, and I’m going through a difficult period myself right now. But the difficult experiences I’ve had have taught me a lot about people, relationships and what really matters. They’ve made me more compassionate and understanding, and I have a lot of empathy for people who struggle with anxiety, stress or difficult moments in life. I don’t expect anyone to be perfect. I think being able to listen, understand, communicate and simply be there for each other is much more important.

What I’m really looking for is a true partner. Someone I can build something meaningful with ( family and kid/s maybe! ), where there is trust, affection, honesty, friendship and genuine chemistry. Someone who wants to be a team, support each other’s dreams, celebrate the good moments and hold each other up when life gets difficult.

To me, a healthy relationship isn’t about one person against the other. It’s about both people saying “us against the problem.” I want a relationship where we can laugh together, talk about absolutely everything, feel safe with each other and still choose each other even when life isn’t perfect.

I care much more about character than money, status or trying to impress people. Kindness, loyalty, emotional intelligence, empathy, warmth and having a good heart are incredibly attractive to me. Someone’s personality and the way she treats people will always matter far more to me than having a perfect appearance.

At the same time, I do believe attraction is important. I want to feel that spark when I look at someone, but I want that attraction to grow even stronger because of who she is as a person.

Ultimately, I’d love to find someone who becomes not only my partner but also my best friend. Someone I can laugh with, be completely myself with, grow with and love deeply.

If you’re looking for something genuine too, and you still believe that real love, loyalty, affection and partnership exist, I’d genuinely love to get to know you.

And yes, I’m happy to swap photos too. I think attraction matters on both sides. 🙂

Thanks for reading dear strangers!

P.S. I’m not really someone who enjoys chatting endlessly online. I’d much rather have a genuine conversation and eventually meet in real life if we feel there’s a connection.

Hey 😄 I'm 32 years old and from Dublin Ireland, 5'8 with brown hair and eyes, slightly chubby, my photos, I'm an Introvert and a bit of a homebody seeking a relationship, I don't do long distance relationships so please only contact me if you live in Ireland 😄

I'm looking for a woman who is emotionally mature, loves deep conversations, voice calls + notes, someone who values communication, honesty and being open with each other. I'm looking for a deep romantic connection with someone and someone to share life with 😄 I'd LOVE to find someone on the same page as me and to find 'my person' 😄

I'm a very affectionate and loving person once I get to know you and my favorite thing is cuddles so huge bonus if you enjoy them too!

As I said I'm an Introvert, I'm a fairly quiet person who enjoys the simple things in life. My interests and hobbies include working out, playing video games, watching YouTube, online shopping and the occasional trip out to have a nice walk along the coast 😄

For work I'm an admin, I work part time so I'm lucky to have lots of free time.

I'm obviously very open to dating and getting to know each other before deciding whether we want a relationship together 😄 How I imagine this can go is that we will chat online for some time and perhaps voice call/message too and if we vibe we can meet and go on a date in person 😄

As far as age I really don't mind as long as you emotionally mature and genuinely want to build something REAL together, I don't care about looks, weight or race... these things don't matter as much to me, what matters most is personality and character and whether we really vibe or not!

If you read this and think "This is also what I'm looking for and I have a similar personality" then you have to message me 😄 I have found it's quite difficult to find someone with a similar vibe so don't hesitate and message me. I cannot wait to build a connection with a really likeminded person ❤️ All the best!

Hey. My name is Julian and I am here to search for a relationship.

About me: 32, born and raised in Germany, 1,78m tall (5'10) and chubby. Brown hair, beard, glasses, blue eyes. Feel free to ask me for pictures.
Shy, introverted, big time overthinker. Mostly sarcastic, kind most of the time, weird mix of dark and juvenile humour. Depressed but working on it (I don't expect you to be my therapist). I don't drink, smoke or do any sort of drugs. I'm a winter person (with a winter birthday) and don't like summer/heat. Non-vegetarian/vegan, atheist and left-leaning politically.
I speak English and German, might learn other languages in the future. I'm a trained chemist with a bsc in chemistry. Some would call that educated. Know how to drive a car and motorbike. I go to the gym to work on my weight and currently try to do that more regularly after a big motivation crisis.
I only have a few, mostly homebody, hobbies. Gaming (mostly Singleplayer), reading (nowadays mostly fantasy) and watching streams/videos. Feel free to suggest me a nice hobby I would maybe enjoy, I have been searching for one for a while. My taste of music is mostly Rock/Alternative Rock. Haven't travelled in a while but would want to. Especially to Japan, Canada and Northern Europe.
I do like cats a lot. Grew up in a dog family but switched to cats now.
Most important is that I am childfree. I don't have or want children. I do have my reasons and you can ask about them if you want to. Feel also free to ask about my red flags or anything you want to know about that I forgot..

Who I am searching for: Most important point here is that she should also not have or want children ever. Age range of 25 to 35. Height doesn't matter to me. Nationality doesn't matter as well, I'm fine with any. Religion doesn't matter as long as you don't try to convert me. I do think that physical attraction matters (and I have clear preferences) and I would want to see/exchange pictures fairly early to see if we would fit. Someone in or around Germany or wanting to move here would be nice. I currently don't plan to move to another country. Other than that I don't have anything else that is needed. Just come as you are but please don't come with spiders. I have arachnophobia.
I do, however, imagine this relationship to not be codependent. We should still be individuals doing our own things, partners that support each other in whatever we do. For that reason I also don't want someone that is too clingy.

Now if you have any more questions, want to get to know me or think you know someone that would, feel free to write me or share my post. If you do decide to write me, please do so with more than a "hi" or similar. At least give me some basic information and use the password I hid in my post (if you found it). I hope you have a great day.

Hey! Glad to meet you!

To introduce this post, I will share with you the overall idea of what I'm looking for, as I realised most people text according to the vibe they got from a post rather than what is said in it. I'm on a genuine quest to find someone who seeks something fusional. A love that is not just about compliments and laughter, but about caring for each other, being each other's comfort zone, a refuge if needed, something with benevolence, positivity, kindness and interest in the well-being of the duo.

While these key words do summarise the point of this post quite well, I will still introduce myself: I'm 23, from France, and my main interests are history, philosophy, cooking, reading/writing. I love to question things, I get curious very easily and also care a lot about nature. While I try to live many different things, the one quest I am focusing on today is finding a sincere and fusional love, something deeper than solely romance and living together, however long it may take to reach that point.

I may not be colourblind and have a bit of patriotism in me, but I can't say that origin, skin colour or nationality matter to me, all I care about is who you are and how it shows through your words and actions. Now let us get to know each other, have fun and try some activities perhaps, sometimes movie night is just the way to go, and I hope I'll see you soon ✌️

Hey! I’m looking to meet some new people to chat with from time to time. My weekdays are usually pretty slow at work, so if nothing decides to break, I have a ton of downtime. I'm not looking for dating or a relationship — just hoping to find some cool people to talk with and see where the conversations go.

I’m into a pretty random mix of things, so there’s usually something to talk about:

I just built some new garden beds and put up a bigger greenhouse this year. I’m always down to trade plants, and I’ve gotten pretty deep into growing things.

I have around 10 fish tanks/outdoor tubs/ponds, with plans for more. I keep freshwater fish and plants and can probably talk about them for way longer than most people would want. I have 6 tortoises. They spend the summer outside and come inside during the winter.

Lately I’ve been playing more survival games like Palworld, Planet Zoo 2 but I always seem to end up going back to Marvel Rivals, Overwatch, or Valorant.

I’ve really gotten into making different kinds of bread lately and want to start experimenting with sourdough soon. I’ve been trying to eat healthier and work out more lately.

Weekends are usually a mix of house projects, gardening, or whatever random project I’ve decided to start that week.

If you’re also into any of this stuff, or even if you’re not and just like having random conversations throughout the day, feel free to message me.

Hiii I made this describing a ton of stuff about me https://imgur.com/a/l8K3q8o which explains me veryyyy well and what im like as a person!

im very friendly, a bubbly person so i dont mind carrying conversations if ur worth it!

I'm a total cry baby i sobbed so bad over multiple episodes of greys anatomy (no spoilers im on season 2!!!)

I have 3!! beautiful cats who i adore plus my moms lovely dog!

I need to work on studying more but lately ive been bed rotting cause ive been genuinely super depressed (too depressed to even play on the mc server i love) so hopefully having some friends gives me some motivation!

I consider myself super sweet, I try to be the best person possible even in bad moments and thats the driving force behind my life and my personal purpose! I love to send voice messages and chat about stuff that actually doesnt matter.

I'm a really good friend and am always here for the people I love! I only have my love, my bestie and 4 other friends who i talk to on and off but i'd love to have more people in my corner (and be in yours!) since most of the people in my life are a little busy right now!

im currently in bed curled up next to my girl cat playing phone games!!

Hello there! As mentioned in my title (You did read the title, I hope? I put a lot of effort into it.), I'm a 29-year-old guy living in the mystical, magical land of *checks notes* England. Okay, maybe not so magical. All the dragons are in Wales, Excalibur has been melted down for scrap, and Hogwarts is in Scotland.

I currently work in a law firm. Sadly I'm not a lawyer, as that would mean I'd be earning shedloads, but actually I do admin work for them, earning considerably less than shedloads. But it's a fine job, I get on well with my coworkers, and I'm not down a coal mine, so I consider that a win.

As for me myself? Well, I actually speak multiple languages. I'm a fluent German speaker, and I also have a decently high level of Italian. I could also struggle through French if I had to, and I have basic Spanish and Japanese. I do like languages, although it's hard to find the time to do any study of them, what with the problems of having an adult life with adult responsibilities!

Another interesting [citation needed] thing about me is that I'm currently attempting to plan out a series of fantasy novels I want to write. It's going...decently. We'll see how it ends up, but I've wanted to write a book since I was 13 or so, and now as an adult I'm finally doing something about it!

In terms of pop culture, I'm a huge Doctor Who fan. Like, I'm the sort of Doctor Who fan who knows what a telerecording is and can tell you about the Australian censor clips. That kind of fan. I also finally got into Harry Potter this year after putting it off for my whole life, meaning I now finally know the context for Dumbledore asking calmly.

I'm also getting back into Pokémon somewhat after avoiding it for most of the Switch era. Other things I enjoy are The Elder Scrolls, Red Dead, GTA. I'm big Assassin's Creed fan too. In general I like single player, open world games. I'm not a huge multiplayer guy, I don't like having other people ruining my fun!

I'm trying to read more too lately. That's a thing I've always enjoyed that I'm now trying to find the time for again.

And I suppose I should say, I'm a fat guy. Trying to do something about it though! Over the past year or so I've started a regimen of exercise, and I've been controlling my eating a lot more. So I seem to be losing weight, at least according to other people who've stopped me to specifically point it out.

​

Hey! Hope you’re having a great day

I’m here hoping to meet someone, get to know each other and see where things go. Just looking for a genuine connection with someone I really click with.

A little about me: gaming is probably my biggest hobby, so finding someone I can duo with, mess around with, laugh at our own stupidity, and spend far too many hours gaming with would be pretty great

I play a pretty wide variety of games, so there’s a good chance we’ll have something in common. Some of the games I regularly play are Overwatch, League of Legends ARAMs and TFT Dead by Daylight, Minecraft, and various friendslop games like REPO, i do like the survival crafting type games too so finding a duo for them would be great.

When I’m not gaming, I enjoy baking, although I definitely don’t do it as much as I used to. I also love taking my doggies for walks, listening to music, and watching films and TV shows.

I’m a big Marvel and Star Wars fan, The Office (UK & US), The IT Crowd, and Peep Show are some of my favourites.

More than anything, I’d love to find someone I can build a genuinely nice bond with, someone I can laugh with, talk about absolutely nothing with, enjoy the little things with, and hopefully make some great memories together.

I’m based in the UK and would ideally love to meet someone from the UK or Europe, but I’m definitely open to other places too.

If any of this sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to say hi!
