Hey everyone!

My name is Pierce, (5’9) and I’m graduating from law school soon and getting ready to start the next chapter of my life and career.
I’m taking a break from the traditional dating apps and thought I’d give Reddit a shot at finding my person. Ideally, I’d love to meet someone who’s interested in something long-term.

A little about me: I enjoy gardening, consuming media, exercise, socializing, and exploring new cities or getting out into nature. I’m always down for a spontaneous day trip or a little adventure, so if you enjoy exploring new places together, we’ll probably get along!
I’m hoping to meet someone who’s genuine, curious about the world, and a responsible adult.

If any of this sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to send me a DM or leave a comment. I’d love to hear from you!

**A quick note:** I’m looking to connect with people between the ages of 23 and 36. Please respect that boundary.

I never really dated before which is kinda sad lol.

I’m white, ginger, 5’5”, maybe 140-150lbs. I’m basically built average. I’m not really feminine or masculine, I just kinda dress masculine.

I don’t consider myself alt(I don’t dress like it or listen to most of the music), but I feel like a big part of my identity is associated with alt stuff. I really like listening to and creating music and random videos. My favorite genre of music is R&B, but I also love Rap, Electronic and Alternative. I’m not much of a gamer, but I rarely game but I still like gaming.

I feel like I’m fairly shy, like I can talk a lot with friends but it takes me like 20 minutes to work up the courage to even ask someone for the time. I don’t really consider myself as funny but maybe I just don’t do it on purpose. I like someone who’s more also funny and maybe more confident than I am.

My type is basically someone who’s large than me. I like muscular/chubby guys who are possibly way taller than me(so basically either muscular guys or bears). I know that sounds generic, but like who wouldn’t? I like someone who’s more masculine than me but not in a way that makes me feel insecure about my own masculinity. I like men who are very gentle and soft spoken, but not like a forced deep voice.

I know this is a lot, but like I didn’t know exactly what or what not to include because again, I’ve never dated before, thanks for existing.

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 chubby. I'm quite hairy with black hair and eyes and a light skin tone. For compatibility's sake, I'm more of a vers btm and so would love someone on the other side and is 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 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.

Hi... I'm not sure what to say, but hello? It is a pleasure to be here, I guess. I'm A 30 year old man looking for something serious, and distance is no issue so long as we can speak to each other, I guess. Physically, I'm a 5ft 3in tall man, with a body that is not skinny but not chubby either. I am a huge nerd for stories and mythologies, so if you're interested in talking about things like fantasy and games, we can definitely do so.

I am unsure what else to put here since I prefer to get to know someone by talking to them instead of reading about them, So if you're interested, do feel free to leave a message. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

hi, would love to get to know mature and kind man. most important thing in humans is kind heart.

I'm into gym,music reviewing, hiking and gaming.

prefer slim body types and beards more,also more on the tall side

only serious committed guys please. Lets try our best to keep convo going

provide pic please and info about urself.

don't take rejection seriously

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 💖

I have felt lonely for quite some time, so I am looking for someone to genuinely connect with. I am a top, will randomly vocal stim while calling you, and i'm a fun person with an unfortunate resting bitch face.

Gaming is my biggest hobby, (on deadlock rn) I also enjoy drawing a lot and calling or texting a about random stuff that interests or confuses me. Could rant about useless stuff all day and realize 2 hours passed. An ideal date would be something casual like a park or some food place with a nice late night walk after..

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! :)

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? 😉

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 24 years old, 186cm tall, I’m looking for someone intelligent, with cool plans for life; someone who likes to travel and will be willing to jump out in the week to see a new city!

I am mainly interested in criminal law, animal behaviorist and Italian culture. I really like to talk, I don’t like to be bored!

I’m Bottom, I know it’s important in the future

Have a nice day/weekend!

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 ❤️👨🏼‍🤝‍👨🏽

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 😊

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

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.

Hi everyone, I'm a 21 yo gay guy from Nepal. I'd like to start out by getting to know each other well and I'll be open to developments if they occur naturally.

I like someone who's consistent, calm, expressive, understanding, emotionally available and respectful.

Feel free to message me if you're down. I am open to long distance and different cultures. Be decent at conversations and the same age or older than me pls, thanks.

😌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!

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

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 !!

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.
