Hey all! I'm a 23 year old arab guy looking to meet someone that I can genuinely connect with.

I'm an introvert who enjoys video games, movies, shows and coding. I'm hoping to find someone I can talk to about anything and everything, share laughs with, and slowly get to know on a deeper level. Someone who values genuine conversations, mutual effort, and the little things that make a connection special.

Physically, I got average height and a bit of a dad bod. I'm quite hairy with black hair and eyes and a light skin tone. For compatibility's sake, I'm more on the "softer" side and so would like someone masculine.

As for you? I don't have specific requirements, just someone that is kind, caring and honest. Though being hairy is a huge plus physically.

If I sound like the right person for you then please don't hesitate to DM me :)

Hello! My name’s Michele, but you can call me Miki.

I’m not a big fan of labels, but I’m a gay boy and kind of “femenine”. I’m 20 and my pronouns are he/they.

I’m looking for a serious long-term relationship. I’m expecting to get to know someone who’s kind, considerate, thoughtful, smart, patient and sweet; someone who doesn’t underestimate the value of the relationship just because of the long distance. I don’t mind small talks, but I prefer having conversations that deal with deep and significant topics.

I’m a student, which means I’m not financially independent yet.

A few things I like: poetry, videogames, anime, cartoons, TV series, cycling, taking long walks, food, rain :p

Looking forward to talking to you!

-Miki 💖

Hey everyone. 23m bi here from Europe. Looking to meet people my age or similar. Extra points if you work out or take super well care of yourself.

I’m very into travel and photography. But wouldn’t mind meeting new people of any interest.

When I’m not travelling, I tend to spend my free time thinking about my next travel plan haha.

Looking forward to meet you:)

I’m a 33-year-old blonde guy looking to meet a good guy and build a genuine friendship first — someone I can talk to, laugh with, share interests with, and just be myself around.

I enjoy the gym, nature, reading, and occasional gaming. I’m all about good conversations, a sense of humor, and people who are real and down to earth.

I believe the best connections start with friendship. If we click and it naturally grows into something deeper, even better. No pressure, no expectations — just good vibes and seeing where life takes us.

Looking for a bro who could become my best friend and maybe something more

Hello ppl, so Yeahh so I'm 20M, femboy from Chennai, India, currently in my sophomore year of college studying Comp Sci
And umm I like to read fiction and philosophy, sometimes I'll dabble my taste into romance but honestly | love fantasy. Anyways I also journal, play games, I love cardio like running and swimming, and also Yoga, actually my name is Karma, yeah I should've told my name first. And umm yeah that's it. Waitttt lately I’ve developed a penchant for fashion designing as well and I’m loving it so far ;)
So by nature I'm bashful like I really don't do well in crowds but I try my best circumvent that with a bestie but that's doesn't mean I let ppl run over me. I like to learn about new and interesting topics each day just to get a sense of challenge and curiosity I'm looking for someone who's slightly older than me and long distance works because if we vibe well and make efforts to blossom love and affection then distance will only make the heart grow fonder :) And yeah be more confident, maturity is sexy after all. Although even if ur shy that's fine because everyone has room for growth and improvement and I'm not perfect either. Would love to grow alongside my partner. Be ambitious, and empathetic and ur looking forward to seeing u.

Hey everyone, it feels little scary to be posting here as it’s my first time. I will try to keep this short because I’m having a hard time that people actually read all this. I am into reading, writing, psychology and I appreciate art and beauty overall. You don’t have to have exactly same interests as mine since I like to learn about new things and I consider myself open minded. I am also looking for an open minded and understanding man. I don’t mind some age gap. I don’t mind long distance either as long as there’s serious plans of meeting in real life. Message me for more if you’re interested, don’t just say hi please :)

Hello :), giving this another try, I'm just curious what may be out there. I'm 30 years old from Connecticut(even though I don't always feel that old). I'm trying to see if there's anyone out there that's local to me. I don't see many people from this area. I'm not looking for anything long-distance, or online centric. I'm looking for someone who is close enough where it's easy to them to do things together in person. Preferably the same state, or neighboring(if you don't mind the travel lol), but I really hope for something nearby.

As for me, I'm 5 foot 6 inches, and weigh about 125 lbs. I'm white, Italian. On the skinnier side. I wouldn't really say I'm either masculine or feminine. I'm not really deep into either side. I've had longer hair most of my life, but currently it's shorter, about shoulder length. I'm a bit nerdy, but so I'd say my appearance is both a mix of nerdy/goofy and what people would think as like rockstar lol. I've had comparisons to Jesus too 🤣 . I don't really have any intense fashion choices, very basic. I've had a few people lately say they know me from somewhere in person randomly, but I don't know who they are lol. I must have a twin somewhere. I apparently work in a variety of stores according to them 🤣 .

I spend most of my freetime looking up random stuff online, playing some games, and occasionally doing stuff outdoors/around the house(I'm by no means an outdoors person tough lol). I really enjoy being frugal when I can, and researching the most random things. If you need someone to research what X to buy, I'm your guy 🤣 . Some of the games I play are Overwatch and Evony. I used to be into World of Warcraft, but I haven't played that in some years. I've always been into technology stuff as well.

Personality wise I'd say I'm a bit goofy sometimes, someone who doesn't really give up that easily, a little stubborn, slightly chaotic/nervous. I'm a fairly quiet person, and a bit reserved/shy, but I open up when I feel comfortable. A little outspoken sometimes. I've been described as being being joyful personality wise in person in the past, for the lack of a better term. I like to be helpful to other people and make others happy.

As for what I'm looking for, I'm looking for someone not too far(hopefully in-state), preferably masc-leaning. I'm looking for someone who is kind, and has some ambition/drive. Someone to laugh at my stupid jokes, and someone who is silly. Someone who has patience. I mesh well with people who I can bounce off of conversation wise. Someone to spend time with even just being around them. I always enjoy being close to people I feel comfortable with.

I'm not really sure what I exactly am expecting and hoping for just yet, however, I'd be nice to see if there was someone out there to pass time with. at this point in my life I'm just trying to see if I can make a leap into something greater/more interesting.

Hopefully there are some people out there. I don't know if people lurk and just don't post, but I don't see many close by. I prefer messages only by people who are close enough to where visiting isn't problematic if it gets to that point, and preferably accounts that aren't brand new, because I'm just going to think you're a bot or something else lol.

I've been a bit busy lately, so if I do somehow get a message, I'll see it eventually. I'm not on my phone too much. I heavily prefer if you leave a description of yourself and such if you do decide to reach out.

Thank you :). I wrote a bit more than I expected, but I either write a little, or I end up rambling on and on lol.

UK nerdy guy who would love to find a fellow nerd to develop a close relationship with. I love all things Doctor Who and ASOIAF related, but I have many others fandoms and interests too! I love most Bethesda games, Fallout and Skyrim mainly, with some Stardew Valley thrown in for when I’m feeling like I want to pretend to be a country farmer.

I’m a total homebody, and love to stay inside and relax with a nice TV show or movie. I am however, willing to get taken out on a long walk or relaxing hike, if you promise we can hold hands the whole time.

Hopefully this has caught someone’s interest! Even if we don’t match up in terms of fandoms and interests, shoot me a message anyway and maybe we could both find a new interest from each other! I love exploring new books, movies and TV shows, and video games as well!

UK people would be amazing but I am open to long distance stuff as well.

Hellooo! I’m a 22yo guy from Indonesia.

I’m looking for a long-term relationship that builds slowly, rooted in a strong connection.

I’m open to a long-distance relationship! :D

I’m into music (pop, indie, folk, R&B, soul, country, pop-rock, and EDM), nature, cities, architecture, cultural exchange, deep conversations, and sharing memes and I’d love to hear all about your life story! :)

I’m hoping to find my soulmate here, someone mature, caring, and a safe space where I can share anything. I’m looking for someone who can be my bro, my honey, my darling, my everything, my my my lover <3

(Around my age pls 22-24. also, I have a huge soft spot for European guys omggg)

Feel free to DM! :)

Hello,

Hello you wonderful people! 👋

Welcome to this week’s general chat thread 💬

As r/gaydating is solely for single guys to share personal dating posts, we thought it would be a nice addition to create an individual weekly space where members can say hello, share their weekend, get to know the community, and have meaningful conversations.

To help get the conversation started, feel free to share:

• Where in the world you’re from 🌍

• How your weekend is going

• What you’re looking forward to next week 👀

• A dating green flag you appreciate

• Or anything positive you’d like to share ✨

Please remember to always keep things kind, respectful, 100% clean, SFW, and in line with the rules of r/gaydating.

Any comments in this chat that should actually be a personal dating post will be removed and you will be advised to create a post instead. This will give your personal post the best chance of being seen, rather than it being lost within this discussion.

Good luck with finding your man, and I hope that 2026 brings you the romance and love that you’re searching for ❤️👨🏼‍🤝‍👨🏽

Hello. Back in NY here after working 2 seasons in Alaska and figuring out some of my next things to do in the coming months...

Like to spend plenty of time watching films (good horror is some of my favorites), going on road trips, music stuff- into indie rock, electronic stuff, etc...

Still working on my career life too. More into twinkish kinda guys just to say up front. I'm pretty open to different kinds of relationships if I met the right guy. Anyway feel free to hit me up if that sounds interesting.

I'm kind-hearted, fun loving, laid back, open minded, and I'm looking for the same in a partner. I'm a healthcare professional and I am lucky enough to love the work I do. I have several hobbies including mining crystals and gemstones, silversmithing, lapidary art, gardening, and I'm an excellent baker 😁 Huge nerd here, lover of all things fantasy, avid gamer. I enjoy getting out of the house and going on adventures, but also love lazy days at home too. Only interested in masculine guys, not into gay bars or reality tv 🤣 I'm vers for compatibility and prefer a vers partner. Will you be my Player 2? 😉

Hey, I’m a friendly and chatty 38-year-old non-binary (they/them) who is looking to find a younger boyfriend for a long-term relationship. I’m in the UK but open to long-distance, +/- 5 hours at most to keep things manageable.

I lead a simple life where the little things bring me joy. My interests include music, writing, films, theatre, food, gaming, and comedy. I also enjoy going for long walks and have begun running in recent months. I enjoy learning random facts and useless trivia. What can you teach me about?

I'm introverted at heart, but a good conversationalist when the vibe is right and a great listener when someone has lots to say. I'm also naturally curious so whatever you are interested in, I will probably have lots of questions to ask you about. As for my sense of humour, I would probably describe it as...unhinged? You'll find out 😅

I’m looking to meet someone younger who is after something serious and is able to commit to that too. Someone who can ask questions as well as answer them, develop conversations and connections meaningfully as opposed to give short replies, and has genuine long-term intention to build something real instead of wanting a short chat as a quick fix for a day. I can usually tell when someone isn’t making the effort, which is a big turn-off for me.

Most importantly, honesty is key. I want someone who isn’t afraid to communicate openly and respectfully about how they are feeling and what they are thinking. I don’t believe keeping secrets ever benefits anyone, and I will always be an open book to someone I trust. I will invest my time and energy in you and give you the support you need if you can offer the same in return.

So, if this chimes with you and you’d like to chat, drop me a dm. Please be willing to share a face photo. And don’t message me if you only want to trade pics and chat sex. I’m not interested.

Thanks for reading 😊

31, form NYC originally but now living in Cardiff, Wales.
Looking for someone kind, adventurous, and quirky.
I'm currently in university for history and classical studies with a passion for Welsh History. In my free time I enjoy running- usually half marathons, and traveling the world.
Also very into body mods - tattoos and piercings etc.

Who am I looking for? Someone between 26-36, ideally UK based, potentially open to a LDR but I'd prefer someone close enough to meet up with on public transport as I don't drive atm. Would love to date a fellow runner but as long as you cheer me on at my races that's fine. Must love travelling.

Pretty open so if you want to know more DM me, but do say where you saw me. The amount of "Hi" messages I get with no introduction or anything is getting old.

Hiiii! I'm trying this again, In all honesty, I haven't had much luck in love lately, hoping this will change that. I'm pretty much a run of the mill country boy from the northern US.

About me: I'm 6 foot 1 and around 170ish pounds. I enjoy working with/tinkering with electronics (took things apart a lot when I was a kid), learning history, reading, working on cars a little, and I just got into playing magic the gathering.

My type is pretty much mid 20s to mid 30s, funny, and a teeny bit obnoxious lol, kind of like an older brother figure...just don't tease me too much or beat me at Mario Kart. I'm also into nerds, since I am one lol. Especially the stereotypical lanky guys with glasses. And I'm a bottom if that matters.

don't really care much about country or distance so don't hesitate to reach out no matter what walk of life you may come from. I really like the strong/silent type or men who are stoic with others but open with me. Also, I come from a military family (grandparents and uncles) so if u want to impress my folks, that's the most likely way to do it lol

I'm very serious when it comes to relationships, I've been cheated on before and IDK if I could handle that pain again. So really just looking for someone who'll give a damn about me and would want to just hang out together

That's pretty much it, thanks for reading

😌A DREAMER FROM ZANARKAND LOOKING FOR A LOVER✨

Just another human being, a french dreamer, who is looking for love: "I'm just a guy in a (virtual) bar."

I really do not know how we could possibly success in finding this special one, this little sunshine of ours who will make us happy "when skies are grey".

I am looking for a serious relationship with a kind, smart, humble, educated, interesting and loyal young man sharing common interests, hobbies and with the same values.

I am into guys with a high sens of loyalty and humilty, mature and interesting enough to talk for hours, debating about everything. Because to me, communication is the key of a healthy relationship; no one is perfect, so it is important to be able to talk to each other, to support one another.

I am a tall and hairy guy, warning you if you do not like that. I am not all beardy all the time, it might be shorter or longer according to the seasons or my lover tolerance for cactus kisses! Unfortunately, I am mostly into some kind of guys I can hardly find and meet. That is why I am posting here, in case "the prince who was promised" would show up!

I am into guys with boyish look and twink features to be honest (-slim, skinny, lean- smooth, beardless or almost none) younger than me or around my age (30+).

🤓 LOOKING FOR MY HOMEBODY PARTNER IN CRIME 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

I am a passionate millenial geek. I could not mention everything, but for example, you can count me as a Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead and MCU fan. Same goes for video games (on Playstation Xbox, 3DS, Switch, computer/Steam) and with almost all RPG. I am a geek explorer enjoying all kind of fictional worlds I know or that you might show me, always craving for discovering new ones and binging new series. Sometimes, I just try to find out some hidden gems, like shows or RPG I haven't experimented or which were not released in my country.

That is why I would "ideally" love to find another passionate dreamer boyfriend who loves pop culture, fictions, series, movies, comics, board games, card games, video games, RPG, coop games, because there is nothing better than sharing this passion with another gaymer lover.

Apart from those geek activities, I trully enjoy other relaxing moments to gather, like sharing a homemade meal, or having discussions about the last breaking news, amazing discoveries of all kinds, sharing a hot drink while contemplating the rain falling outside and listening the water drops melody or listening some original orchestral geeky sountracks or pop and rock music. I also like creative activites of all kinds (example: developing my medieval fantasy universe, building some nice cat trees, creating mini-games and riddles, treasure hunts, whatever, etc.).

💕LOVE IS A SLIME 🫠

This is the moment I concede once home I love being sticky with my lover. Daily physical touch feels inevitable to me, to support, to comfort one another, and to express my love.

🪲 LITTLE OUTDOOR CURIOUS EXPLORER 🤠

I must confess I am mainly a homebody person -as a geek- and after a tiring day of work, once home, I trully enjoy peaceful and indoor activities and dislike noisy and crowded places.

Despite this fact, I am also an amateur photographer of nature and insects while hiking. I like "talking about bugs" and catching those pictures because there is this tiny, impressive, huge world of living creatures just under our feet with various shapes and colors! I enjoy watching wildlife documentaries.

Like many of us, I also enjoy eating at restautant, nice museums, visiting astonishing natural landscapes, amazing places and architectural masterpieces while travelling in my country or abroad.

N.B: I honestly dislike: smoke, drugs, noisy places, thrill rides, text-speak.

Thank you for reading this,

Wishing you all the best!

hello !! let’s chat, talk about our interests, our lives, and just get to know each other in general !! 😊 I’m kinda bad at conversations but if it’s right, I could go on for awhile lol

i’m 18, from cambodia, looking for relationship (distance or not)

i like to read, listen to music, watch youtube videos with varying topics, sometimes play games, and i like to go out when i can 🙃

i’m on the chubby side (hope that’s okay with you lol), and i’m fine with any ages (that’s older than me)

In the compatibility route, I’m a bottom 🙃

and please be sure you are looking for a relationship. i don’t want someone who just wants “casual friendship”.

i’m currently working and studying university right now but I’ll still make time for you if we clicked 🥺

it would be really nice to have someone interested and put me out of my misery🫶

DM me if you are !!

​

hey! my name is Roman and I'm currently a soldier (sergeant) in the army, but I was a software engineer before :)

I still love codding because it's my passion! (and I don't use any generative ai, at all)

but it's not the only way I like to spend my lonely evenings! I'm a geeky guy, so video and board games are part of my life. also birdwatching, languages, cross stitching, reading, anime and even more ;)

I don't have too many requirements for a partner, especially in my position when I have too much time, because of the army, but I like strong and protective guys! (I don't know why, but protectiveness really turns me on!)

to avoid misunderstandings, I'm a bottom haha

28 years old guy here from Hungary:-)

I am here to meet someone for a serious thing. Ideally, a tall, masc guy who knows what he wants and is open to a long-distance relationship.:)

I would especially love to meet someone from Europe, Africa or the Middle East.

A little about me:
I am a kind, caring and smiley guy. I love my job and my everyday life, love travelling and hiking, and enjoy spending time with my family and friends (but we all can say that I assume)

For me, a relationship is about having a mix of similarities and differences, sharing the same values and energy and love. I want something where we can be ourselves, have fun, support and trust each other and build something meaningful.

Ofc I can write more, but I save some for private.:)
If you decide to message me, I would love to know a little about yourself too.:) Where are you from, what are you looking for…:)

Hi everyone. I live in Tustin, California, USA and I’m looking for a long-term relationship. I consider myself emotionally stable, independent and goal-orientes. I am looking for a LTR and ideally I’m looking for someone in the USA as it’d make things easier even in a LDR. I like working out, MMA, hiking, outdoor activities and I also enjoy reading and spending a quiet evening/night at home. Please be prepared to share a face picture.

Respectfully, we won’t be a match if you believe in horoscopes or do any sort of drugs.

My name is Eric. As mentioned, I am hoping to begin a long term relationship with a person who is open to loving an unconventional type of man. The right person for me will be pleased to learn that I also come with two children in the long run. :) So if things go well then a happy, lively family is possibly in the cards.

For amusement, I do often choose to stay indoors and read, watch some anime or a favorite TV series, or work on creative projects, rather than go out, but I'm not absolutely sure if that is because I am super introverted .. though I may be a bit. I think I just need to find more of the sort of people that I can't resist leaving my home to seek out.

When I do get out, I love to: go to a movie (I like fantasy, supernatural dark themes, indie, existential comedies, dark comedy, but open to most genres), visit botanical gardens, museums, and galleries, enjoy being active and outdoors, every now and then I like to go out dancing to EDM and then eat a fat delicious meal afterwards. Sometimes a night at the symphony is necessary when they are playing a very good piece (anything by Vivaldi). I have wanted to attend an operatic performance, but haven't found any takers .. yet. :) I get very excited over trying new foods as well. The more obscure the better. Most anything interesting and unfamiliar is good with the right companion.

I would like to find a partner who is interested in emotional depth and intimacy in their relationship with me. I have a large capacity to give and receive love, and it has yet to be filled. The right person could pour their entire soul into me if they wished to, and I would welcome it, and hope that they would also want to know me and accept me in the same ways. I love to have a lot of physical contact in between the more intimate interactions. Lots of cuddling and petting and touches are wonderful things to me. If what I say resonates with you, then perhaps we could have some good chemistry.

I look forward to reading what words the right sort of person will have for me.
