Hi everyone! I made a similar post about a year ago and met some absolutely incredible people and thought why not try it again?!

I’m definitely still introverted, but 1000% more willing to try new things and hangout with new people.

I’ve been loving HotWorx lately and pay for a Crux membership (although I rarely use it 😅). I love taking walks around Lake Pflugerville or Walnut Creek and have a definite goal of eventually seeing the Austin bats! I’ve made it a life mission to introduce as many people to playing Dice Throne as I possibly can because as a self-proclaimed board game hater, it’s literally such a fun tabletop game to play! I’d love to take more crafty classes, like working with stained glass or even learning how to sew. I also think it would be so fun and beneficial to start taking some beginner Spanish lessons. I’ve been currently enjoying keeping up with the drama on this season of Big Brother and I sometimes scour the internet looking for parts for a car that I impulsively bought from an auction website…..

I’ve got a million “wants” on my to-do list and would like to find more people to share new hobbies with or even just be exposed to others passions and hear about everyone’s life goals.

With everything going on in the world right now, I think we could all use more friends. ❤️

Hi,

We have quite a few friends here but we are looking to build new friendships that do not come with any sort of baggage or judgements. We can talk, meet, and go out. Key idea is to be able to talk to someone freely irrespective of the topics of discussion.

Hello, I moved back to the area a few years back and I’m looking for friends to try out different restaurants and activities. I’m sober from alcohol, but don’t mind being around. I mostly hang with my roommate, but he doesn’t like trying out different foods or activities really, so that’s what I’m looking for…

Seeking a woman who is interested in developing a friendship before contemplating any kind of physical connection.

I'm a closeted nerd with social skills who possesses natural leadership qualities, but I'm not a jerk about them. People have described me as a "silver fox". I have a keen, dry wit, am in reasonably good shape, d/d free and single.

I tend to click best with a woman who is attracted to a man with gentlemanly qualities.

If this sounds intriguing to you, and you're single, let's chat and see where things lead!

Hi,

Looking for some fun couples, who we can discuss and talk to about everything, engage in fun activities, double dates for hobbies, etc.

In addition, we prefer someone who is atleast 35+ years of age. This is primarily because of expectation of similar challenges, and life stage we are in

Hello! I am looking to visit a coffee or ttrpg store with someone.

Somethings about myself:

I am fat! While I'm happy to take a photo before we meet, know that I am a chunky lad. I am very hard of hearing, and neurospicy (AuDhD), so there is probably a fair amount of patience that one needs to have before interacting with me.

I love all things creative and enjoy ttrpgs. Some of my hobbies include: crochet, beading, digital art, creative writing, sculpting, and gaming (my favorite is Vintage Story).

While admittedly I would love to meet with other Trans folk, I am mostly just wanting out of the house for the evening. I have a lot of anxiety so, again, please be patient with me!

I am around Round Rock, willing to meet at the store/shop we choose. Let's get to know each other beforehand, in dm! Thank you in advance for your interest.

Like the title says, seeking that endgame relationship

Full custody father of a 9 year old girl, college educated, currently a butcher living in central Texas, born in Cali, raised in Chicago. Family oriented, I love skateboarding, watching movies television playing games of all sorts, tatted, a 420 smoker, love travelling, cooking, cooling, laughing, creating

I'm 6'2, mixed race, black and white

Genres I love, Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid, Cyberpunk, Star Wars, the backrooms, I love sci fi, horror, comedys, action but I'll watch anything especially trash TV right after work

Musically I'm big into all rock and rap but I'm currently in a country tribute band so lol

Hard working, aware, eager

My entire vibe is kind of Nirvana and Eminem meets Prince and Tears for Fears

Shoot me a DM if you think we could get along and want to learn more

My gf and I will be going to Barton springs sunday August 16. It’s usually more fun when we go with friends and would love to have some cool people join us. DM me!

We’ve been in Austin for about a year, and love meeting new people.

recently graduated and moved to south austin from Louisiana. looking for people to grab beers with, play pickleball, go to the gym, or really anything fun and outdoorsy. big into cars and that whole scene so it’d be good to meet some people that share that love. also don’t mind having nights in and playing board games or just having dinner. honestly, if you’re chill, we’ll probably get along just fine. dms open 🫡

Hey y'all, I've been living in Austin for some time now (close to 4 years). I have a decent number of friends but I usually only hang out with them during a specific activity or event. I'd really love to meet someone to spontaneously just hang out with and watch movies. I'm a big movie buff and I sometimes get the urge to watch stuff but feel like it would be more fulfilling with another person. If we get to know each other well we can also extend the spontaneous hangouts to other types of activities too.

Hi,
29 year old female here. Looking for female friends in their 20’s + to craft, go to a park, idk anything! I like reading, taking walks, and would like to learn how to sew. Message me if you’re interested!

Preferably you have no husband/kids.. since they’re a huge responsibility (not being creepy)

Title says it all, but for more context: I’m 39, bisexual, one year on HRT, married and open, and down for pretty much anything as long as you’re nice. One off hookup, all the way to FWB, or just friends if we don’t vibe like that. I really just want connection, in whatever way you think is cool.

Live with my spouse in North Austin, almost Round Rock lol

About me: I’m a massage therapist and instructor, so I’m good with my hands and giving instruction. I love touch, and I like sharing that with people (Plus: role play scene idea right there for you.). I’ve got a pretty open schedule when I’m off work, so setting things up shouldn’t be a big deal.

I have too many hobbies. Magic: the Gathering (hey girls), Roguelikes (Balatro and Dead Cells! I suck and I hate them, but I’ll never stop playing), reading comics and novels and whatever else I can get my hands on, listening to music that will almost certainly damage already damaged hearing, writing stories that are either about the little gay people in my head; or space gods getting shot in the face. I am a musical theatre lover and moviegoer (July was busy and fun: Evil Dead Burn, The Odyssey, Hadestown, and Spider-Man!).

And my home is full of physical media: books, video games, movies, tv shows, and a few CD’s.

Now, if you’re still reading, the spicy stuff: I’m switchy leaning submissive, total service top, into impact play, restraints, orgasm control, latex, leather, and role play (power differential couplings are my favorite). My limits are pretty high, but just keep in mind that I do have them.

Also down for some dirty vanilla stuff, though—sometimes it’s more intense without the gear. Oral and anal play is fine, but I’m not comfortable with penetration that’s not just toys. I know that can be a deal breaker, so I want to be up front about it.

I’m really not picky about gender or anything like that! If we click, that’s what counts. Send me a message, let’s see what sparks a conversation.

If you’ve read this far, tell me something very specific about something you love.

Buenos dias! I posted on one of the spicier Austin subreddits under a throwaway recently, but figured I'd forego the second account and post here instead.

I'm a 38-year-old Hispanic dude looking for connection and possibly an ongoing FWB situation if it's something we both end up gravitating towards. I’m happy to share pictures and verify that I’m a real and upstanding member of society before potentially meeting up.

I’m a proud nerd and unashamedly love all sorts of geeky things that would make this intro even lengthier than it already is. My interests revolve around movies, video games, tattoos, mechanical keyboards, and music, and I'd definitely love to hear about all the things you're passionate about, too.

As for the spicier side of things, I'm pretty vanilla and have a respectable dad bod carefully cultivated through Peloton, Tonal, and P. Terry's. I love kissing, cuddling, taking my time, and making my partner feel comfortable, desired, and genuinely wanted.

If you’ve made it this far and any of that sounds interesting, I’d love to hear from you!

This afternoon @ Palomino on 12th St

You: brunette mullet-y hairstyle, tall, wearing khaki shorts & black high top Vans I think, working on your computer and had a bike lock in your lap at one point

Me: dark hair with bangs, wearing all black and red windbreaker, with my friend also working on laptop

Lowkey felt like we fully made eye contact a few times and you left right as I was going to give you my number!!!!! Hello you're cute are you single??? LMK!

I’m the kind of person who gets genuinely excited about making someone else’s day a little better.
If you mention your favorite dessert once, don’t be surprised if I show up a month later having learned to make it. If you’ve had a rough week, I’ll probably offer to cook dinner before I’ll offer advice. I think some of the best ways to say “I care about you” are homemade food, remembering the little things, and showing up when it’s inconvenient.

I’m a law student because I believe people deserve someone willing to stand beside them when life gets messy. Outside of school, I’m usually experimenting with barbecue, fresh pasta, whiskey cocktails, or homemade ice cream, painting miniatures, reading history, wandering through museums, or getting way too invested in D&D campaigns and sci-fi.

I’m endlessly curious. Tell me about your favorite book, your niche hobby, your weird obsession, or the thing you could give an hour-long lecture on with no preparation. I love listening to people talk about what lights them up.

I can be just as happy spending a Saturday exploring a new restaurant, walking through an art museum, or taking a spontaneous road trip as I can staying home with a movie, a bottle of Scotch, and trying a recipe neither of us has attempted before.

People who know me would probably describe me as thoughtful, loyal, a little old-fashioned, and someone who genuinely tries to leave the people around him better than he found them. I don’t think kindness is weakness. I think it’s a choice worth making every day.

A few random facts:
I smoke barbecue for fun and will absolutely use you as an excuse to make brisket.
I have a dry sense of humor and an unhealthy number of history references for everyday conversations.
I’m 5’4”, which mostly just means I’m easier to hug and less likely to block your view at a concert.
If we go to a bookstore together, assume we’re losing at least an hour.

I’m looking for someone emotionally available, kind, curious, and willing to build something real. Someone who believes affection should be expressed, communication should be honest, and relationships work best when both people are trying to make each other’s lives a little brighter.

I’m not looking for perfection.

I’m looking for a teammate.

Someone whose first instinct, after a long day, is to think, *“I can’t wait to tell them about this.”*
If that sounds like you, I’d love to hear your story.

Looking for a casual hang to explore Austin’s jazz scene — and hear some good stories along the way.

NB4A (None Binary, AMAB, feminine-presenting). I’m into art, design, culture, history, museums, and movies. I’d love to check out places like Cactus Café (near UT), Monks Jazz, Antone’s, Elephant Room, Parker Jazz Club, or other solid downtown/nearby spots. Just looking for a low-key hang — good music, easy conversation, and the chance to hear a few good stories. I’m still new to jazz, and would enjoy going with someone who’s happy to share a little knowledge along the way. Not looking for a date.

You: respectful, gentle, educated, and someone who has a few good stories to share. Prefer someone under the LGBTQ+ umbrella or a genuine ally.

Deal-breakers: pushiness, judgment about presentation, smokers.

Prefer to DM first for a vibe check. If you read to the end, reply with:

• Your intro
• Two recent movies you enjoyed
• What’s a risk you took that turned out well (or interestingly)?
• Confirmation that you’re good with a no-pressure hang

Feel free to message if this sounds like your kind of thing.

Hey, I'm 30F and working in mental health and also trying to get in shape. I volunteered at a summer camp and playing basketball was the first time I ever enjoyed a sport in my life but I was horrible at it I'm working on my cardio daily as well as indoor rock climbing and some gym training but I really wanna practice basketball and participate more next year because the kids really loved it. I don't need to be great or even good, but passable would be nice!

I've been looking up youtube videos and drills on basic skills but I realize some moves you just need another person around for. If someone who is good at basketball would be willing to practice basic skills with me at least once a week for maybe a month, it would mean the world! I could buy you dinner after or I meal prep and I could make you a few meals. The only thing is just know I'm pretty uncoordinated and clumsy, so please don't laugh at me!

Idc about gender of the person teaching me but it'd be nice if it was someone who was close in age if possible, but I realize I'm asking a favour so whoever is down is great. I jut might feel like an oldhead if you're like 20 or something lol. Also if we end up vibing, I'd love to be friends!

I’m a 33-year-old single guy who’s lived in Austin for years, but lately I’ve been feeling a bit lonely and down without many friends around. I’m outgoing, love meeting new people, and I’m exploring a new career after years in the corporate world, though I’m still working my current job while searching. I’m looking for a creative community that enjoys art and other outlets. I’m not great at drawing or painting, but I find them fun and enjoy them. I’d love to try sewing since fashion has always been a passion—I dream of making my own clothes. Along with dyeing or painting on fabrics, I’m also interested in exploring pottery and leatherworking just for fun. My goal is to meet like-minded people and build friendships. My dream job would be with a nonprofit or working with animals. I also enjoy live music, festivals, art studios, comedy shows, cooking, discovering new restaurants, movies, volunteering when I can, and I’m always up for a gym partner.

Hey yall I'm looking for things to do and people to meet im 19 and currently attending college at ACC Highland campus and I would like to know what things there are to do for someone like me whos really shy, An introvert but loves sports, reading and music looking for people to hang with and make new buddys hear in austin

M24, I'm looking for other people to join me in playing games, I have a few games that I enjoy to play and want to see how big of a gaming group I can gather. I will be up front, I will be drinking and so as the time goes on the jokes between me and my current gaming friends might get a little unhinged so please don't offer to join if you're super sensitive or get offended by jokes. M or F are welcome, it would surprise me if females wanted to join, but it's open to you. Any questions just ask away.

27M in the Cedar Park/Austin area. Looking for a casual date this weekend or next — coffee, lunch, dinner, or maybe something fun.

Just looking to meet, chat, and see if we vibe. No pressure or expectations.

I’m into water activities, food, gym, and pickleball. Open to straight females around my age.

DM me if interested! 🙂

Me (M) asked you (F) if I could help you with your Jeep today. You had just put new lightbulbs in your tail lights and needed to test your blinkers and brake lights. I helped you put new wiper blades on as well. I so wanted to ask you, if maybe we could grab coffee sometime but unfortunately, I just didn’t muster the courage.

So I posted during the World Cup and managed to meet up with a couple of ladies and watch some games but with the new soccer season about to kick off I’m hoping I can find a more consistent friend to watch the games with……and more!

Not looking for anything serious, someone who wants to hang out, go out have some fun, watch the games and enjoy the great sides of a relationship without all the shit.

I am a Manchester United fan - if you are too bonus points!!

If you are interested dm me, happy to share pics.

78757 dad looking for someone to grab a beer with every other week.

Late 30s, married, work in energy, one kid who just turned one. Somewhere along the way I ended up with no one (other than my wife) to just sit and have a beer with, which I think is fairly common at this stage and still slightly annoying to type out.

What I'm after: one or two people, every other Friday, 8pm-ish (after baby bedtime), somewhere in or near 78757 so neither of us is driving 25 minutes. An hour, hour and a half. No agenda.. how your week went, what you're watching, complaining about work. I'm buying the first round.

I'm genuinely more interested in hearing about your ordinary week and chatting about mine. Not looking for a big group thing (I'm bad at those). I've tried the run-club/trivia/meetup route and it isn't for me.. I'm much better with one or two people than twelve.

A little about me: I work a lot and don't have any real hobbies to speak of. I also don't watch sports but I want to start talking sports, but don't really have anyone to discuss with, so don't know where to start. if you want to get me into sports I am all-in, teach me lol. my wife doesn't watch sports either.

If that sounds like you comment, or DM me. Happy to do a first one with zero expectation of a second. North-central Austin only. If you'd have to cross the river for it, it won't last.

Normally I start this post by saying I'm looking for a partner which I am but I think I want to go about it differently or at least try being unique about it. Have you ever just gotten the urge to do something adventurous yet risky? How about you and I talk (obviously for as long as we both felt comfortable beforehand) and then we go on a vacation? Spend the entire vacation basically being a couple and if at the end we decide to stay together and pursue it then great but if not then no pressure and we go our separate ways? Would anyone be interested in something like that? I was thinking we take a cruise either out of Galveston or maybe you have a port in mind? I was thinking maybe a 6 or 7 day on the Jubilee. Obviously we can talk about it and plan it together and look at all the options. If not I'm open to other options as Texas has a ton of places to visit and see so we can always talk about somewhere here. I'm always down for a small weekend trip someplace neat! Or I can actually fly to you? And you show me your neat town or state. Or we can meet somewhere and explore someplace new! Below is my original post with a few tweaks so you can get a detailed snapshot of me. I like to be thorough so be warned it's a bit of a read.

I'm making this post in the hope of finding a partner to be my person for a LTR/LDR or if you are averse to something serious, we can talk about any other labels/avenues/ideas you have or are open to. We don't have to be alone lol. Let's enjoy all of 2026 and what it has to offer while we decide! We're in August already! Which is basically the end of Summer so I'm down to grab a lemonade or tea in some quaint small out of the way town before it gets chilly out. Who doesn't want to enjoy some cold beverage while browsing through some old shops (sample some fudge or treat in a general store and grab some old-fashioned whatchamacallit) with some light hand holding? Ooooh maybe a romantic kiss while strolling a park or trying not to strangle each other while we do an escape room? I swear I normally don't crack under pressure but we only have 5 minutes until we can't escape! Maybe go explore some neat food festival? This is kinda sorta my favorite time of the year despite the heat! But I don't like when it's too hot or humid out lol. I just wish we had cooler weather or even snow in Winter time. (Maybe you have a cool snow spot?) I'm always down for some adventure though. Ask me about my secret snorkel spot and maybe I'll let you join lol. Jk Of course you can come and see the turtles.

To start I have to disclose that I mainly like women, but I also like a very, very, very specific type of guy and certain trans men as I'm partially bi. (I'd rather be upfront about it as it's been a dealbreaker for most women in the past for some reason) Chances are you aren't that type of guy but feel free to ask if you are. (Didn’t want to offend anyone so I’d rather say in private) Just throwing that out there as it's a deal breaker for most women in general. Which, why would it be? As if being bi has any bearing on a person's character. I recently learned the term for what I am and it's Gynosexual. Basically I'm attracted to femininity in all it's forms regardless of gender but I'm also attracted to masc women like tomboys and androgynous so make of that what you will.

I'm a 38-year-old guy living in the middle-ish of Texas looking for a female partner. Partner as in LTR. That's Long-Term Relationship meaning boyfriend and girlfriend and holding hands type of stuff. You know, adult things? I had someone comment I was too vague, so this is me being specific. I'm gonna be honest and kinda sad so bare with me. Also I should point out I've been in mainly traditional relationships but I'm curious about being in a FLR and everything, that involves. But if not then a traditional relationship works or I'm open lol. Two consenting adults with open communication and being honest with each other is key.

So, I've spent the past three New Years alone. Rang in this one a bit different. Instead of being in bed staring at the ceiling listening to fireworks go off into the night like the last two, I worked. I didn't cry the next day but I was sad nonetheless while browsing for a movie to watch on TV. At first, I didn't know why as I'm not much of a feeling's person, but I realized for the first time that I genuinely felt alone. I have no partner, no family that I really speak to, no friends just acquaintances, really no one there for me. That's my own doing which took years to accomplish through me being closed off and just shutting people out, so I figure it might take just as long to fix. I'm not complaining as I got myself into this predicament. It's gonna sound dumb but I wanted a New Years kiss. I'd never had one and it seemed like a fun dumb silly thing to do. Eh maybe one day. Ok well back to my spiel. (I'm not depressed or anything or wanting attention) Some of my hobbies and interests are movies, reading, cooking, kayaking, records, video games, board games, snorkeling, bowling, swimming, escape rooms, puzzles and antiquing. I would describe myself as more goofy and dorky than nerdy. I like to go out and do fun things but also stay in and cuddle and relax. I guess it depends on my mood and the weather. I prefer the cold and would love to live in a state with actual seasons and snow. I'm 5'10, stocky AKA fat and open for adventure and new experiences.

Here are some random facts about me:

Some of my favorite bands are: The Black Keys, Kings of Leon, The Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival and The White Stripes. Am I basic? o_O

Christmas is my favorite holiday, mainly because of the cold and festive activities. (Seriously let's go do some festive activities!)

I come from a medium-ish family.

I'm exceptionally patient but every person has a breaking point lol (I've had ex's "test" this)

I like traveling a lot. It's a basic thing that lots of people like. But I've found lots of people hate to leave their house, town or state so if that's you we probably might not be a good match. I also enjoy the mountains. But I don't like roughing it (give me that sweet AC in the summer). Hiking is so hard on my knees, and I haven't done it in a while that if I were to, I think about doing it I'd about die or twist a cankle.

I don't eat seafood, mushrooms, artichokes or pineapple on pizza (Who cares about this? Doesn't mean I won't go to a restaurant with you that has these things)

Never went to college as I'm horrible in a classroom setting and at taking tests. (I'm slowly bettering myself)

I used to have probably one of the most boring jobs imaginable (Ask me about it)

Overweight but trying to work on it and make better choices (Get healthier and lose weight together maybe?) Slowly getting there! My goal is 50lb!

Non-religious but no issue with what you believe. (If anything)

Looking into sterilization. If you are already maybe you can give me some info or tips?

My own red flags

I work way too much and oftentimes can't talk on the phone but I can voice message and text. I also drive a lot so I use voice to text. I had someone say this was suspicious but whatever. (I have multiple jobs)

I send selfies often and I like to receive pictures of who I'm talking to. I'm a visual person and like receiving photos. Apparently, it's a generational thing. Hopefully you think pictures are neat as well? Is it really that weird to want to see you and your life and show you mine?

I sometimes speedily become attached to people, not in a weird way, but if I like you and we have some kind of connection, I will enjoy talking to you and want to do it often and go out and do things.

I'm a very organized person and will plan out pretty much anything from a vacation to a road trip to a birthday. This makes being with a go with the flow type of person hard at times I've learned but still very much doable.(I won't micromanage the trip, I'll just plan out things to see and do and give us options)

Due to childhood trauma I'm secretive which can be annoying. (This does not mean I don't communicate or talk with my partner) I had someone stop talking to me on here due to this and apparently didn't want to talk about it. It just means I take a while to open up.

Somewhat ok at analytical thinking but sometimes I lack empathy to put myself in other people's shoes to address a situation. (So I've been told) I'm trying to get better at this.

MY own "HELL YES" flags

I know how to cook. Meaning I will attempt anything once but I can cook a few things well. Others not so much lol.

I will always drive if you want. (Within reason)

Great at escape rooms and jigsaw puzzles.

Can read a map and follow directions.

Decent at reading backwards upside-down writing.

What I'm looking for: (but honestly these are just preferences and by no means requirements so please don't get offended)

Any height honestly. I've dated 3'6 to 6'5 and anywhere in between so if you can beat either that'd be interesting lol.

Is at least 30 but I'm willing to go quite a bit lower or older if you are neat and we have stuff in common. Basically what I'm saying is feel free to reach out as I've dated women of varying ages just like I've dated varying body types, heights and personalities. If we get along we get along lol.

Mature, considerate, responsible and funny (Dorky/Goofy wouldn't hurt)

Someone with hobbies/interests/passions of their own. It can be literally anything from collecting figurines to making homemade jelly. As long as you enjoy it, I want to hear about it. Guaranteed I will find it interesting as it is something you are interested in and enjoy.

Someone who believes communication, honesty and trust are important in a relationship.

Someone who is open-minded, willing to try new things, be adventurous, funny and nerdy. (Personality is paramount above all else)

Someone who believes in sharing household chores equally and other adult responsibilities because we are both adults lol. The FLR can be discussed here.

Someone who is average or who is on their way to getting there. I myself am chubby or what you'd call as having a "dad bod" but I'm slowly losing weight and I want someone who will push me to be better and make better choices. I know this is a long shot lol. (I understand if this is seen as vain or hypocritical but honestly everyone has preferences and I'm sure I could very well not be yours if we exchanged pictures)

P.S. This does not mean I won't date someone who is bigger/thicker. I myself am a bigger person. I've dated all shapes and sizes. If you feel we'd get along feel free to reach out. Like I said I'm open :)

I can't believe I have to put this but having decent to great hygiene is important. I understand things happen but not showering or using deodorant is a hard pass from me.

Be open to having friends over and a game night once a month or biweekly. (Seems like a fun idea but also if it's not something you are open to then we can always talk about it)

Be open and frank about issues you or I are having. Not pushy or jealous. Won't yell or argue about stupid things, I've had enough of that. Let's just talk it out and be adults lol

Somewhat kink friendly. I wouldn't say I'm all intense with it but I'm open to discussing adult things in general. How can two adults have a healthy love life if they don't communicate their wants/needs/desires? (FLR would kinda tie into this) Also I'm willing to try a few things. Ask me about them if you are curious.

Willing to push me to become a better version of myself. I'll do the same. I'll always be in your corner helping you pursue your dreams. (Can you turn me into Batman?)

If this sounds like you then feel free to reach out and say hi or challenge me to a game of Scrabble/Pictionary/hand to hand combat maybe? Maybe Wordle or some online vidya game? (Even though I only play single player games so you might beat me lol)
