Trying to cast my net yet again 😅

45 year old husband and dad from Massachusetts.

I love watching a good show or movie, chilling with a great book or playing an awesome video game!

Or I can get in the zone coding while I listen to metal music!

Gamers and non gamers welcome. Just please. Platonic only and please be at least close to my age.

Talk to you soon!

Please read my intro and only reply if you are the kind of person I’m looking for, and TELL ME why please :) not looking for random short chats about hobbies..and not looking for random messages from people that aren’t the type I’m looking for.

Hello, I'm Florianne from the Netherlands, i'm almost 19 and I am looking for older people to talk to. Like i have friends my age enough so please don't respond if you are under 30. Either male or female, I don't mind at all, as long as you are a mature serious person.

I'm looking for a serious/mature type of person because most people I normally hang out with my age at school are like, the talk up to a rich girl types, always agreeing with you, telling you what they think you want to hear etc. And I thought maybe online you can make friends with someone with a different type of character. Someone that is like, super confident, mature, intelligent, likes to lead a conversation. Like a person that is more super direct and honest, that would just idk, call you out when you are..Not like what I’m used to, people that just always treat you like a princess.

A bit about me: I have pretty rich parents and i'm kinda popular/princessy in school, but I can also be really respectful/polite as I did private school when i was younger etc. I play a lot of sports: field hockey, some tennis, horse back riding in the summer and I used to do gymnastics until a few months ago. And just standard girl stuff like shopping haha.

Warning I can be clingy/obsessed if I like something/someone haha

Please only DM me if you actually want to like, be a long term friend, have time to chat and get to know me, and not the short random message type of person.

Please tell me your age and why you replied to my intro so i know you read all of this 😛

Hi! I’m a 24F, I’ve just graduated college and is up to my trainee period. I’d love to talk to someone who would be comfortable with talking about their feelings, interests and totally okay with talking to me on a daily basis and share their thoughts on what happens throughout their day.

My whole point of this relationship is to actually develop some sort of communication and to share an experience together. I’m not regularly social so I’d love to put some effort in changing that.

And I’m definitely happy to explore any interest with you.

I come from a Muslim background and I’m also an Arab. So I’d love for someone to be respectful towards me and my background.

​

I'm 21F from Algeria and I love learning about different cultures.

Tell me:

What's one thing tourists almost never know about your country?

What's a local food everyone should try?

What's a word or expression in your language that you love?

I'll do my best to guess your country before looking at your answer if you give me hints instead.

I'm hoping for relaxed conversations with people around my age (roughly 20–35). Please introduce yourself with more than just "hi"it makes it much easier to start a conversation!

Looking forward to meeting people from all over the world.^⁠_⁠^

Haaaii! I'm looking for new people, anyone who is simply down to chat often long-term things, a plus if into games of my choosing (mobile and pc)

About me:

- personality: chill, strategist, atentive, caring and sometimes a yapper

- pronouns: he/him/any

- zodiac sign: capricorn (december 28)

Can DM me on reddit

​

Had a breakup recently and honestly haven't been feeling great. Everything feels a bit off lately. I'm also planning to move to Europe in the future, so it'd be nice to meet people from there too.

Lately everything feels a bit too quiet in the wrong ways. I keep catching myself staring at walls, scrolling aimlessly, wanting to talk but not knowing who to talk to. I'm just looking for someone real. Someone who actually shows up. Someone who doesn't disappear when things get quiet.

I'm 24, currently floating through life with way too much time to think. I love yapping. I talk nonsense, I overexplain, I ramble until it somehow turns into something deeper. I love when the effort is mutual, when replies don't feel like I'm begging for attention.

Please don't be dry. Try to talk. If you're always busy, please don't bother texting. I've done my time with people who only remember me when they're bored.

I like baking, movies, gaming, chess, reading, writing, guitar, long walks, voice calls, and pretending I'll ever finish half the things I start.

Mentally, I come with the ADHD + BPD expansion pack, clingy DLC included, but also a lot of warmth, honesty, and way too much empathy for my own good. I'll listen, I'll care, and I'll match your energy.

If your first message is just "hi", I'll assume you're not real. Give me a proper intro. Tell me about yourself, your favorite thing to do, your most irrational fear, the song that ruins you every time, or literally anything that feels genuine.

Hi everyone, 25M
I posted here a while back, thought might as well try again.
I just graduated uni after a couple exhausting years and now got absolutely nothing to do but chat.

Little bit about me, I love coffee especially iced coffee given how hot it is, bit of a metal head, gamer, and love motorsports particularly Formula 1, honestly would love to meet another F1 fan. Games I play include cod and cs2, rest are story games.

If you like the vibe send me a dm and introduce yourself a bit, if we hit it off I’ll share my discord, if not then either way I hope you have an amazing day :)
Timezone: GMT+5, just a formality, dms are open to anyone

P.S.: Pls nothing nsfw, strictly platonic

hey, I'm a 28 year old guy from Europe that is hoping to find some friends that share common games so we can hang out regularly, but also just chat about life, share memes etc. Nowadays I mainly play League (EUW), looking forward to League Classic, but played lots of WoW too and would love a reason to get back into it, so ideally you play one or both of these games. I also played DbD, D4, TfT, Fortnite, Minecraft and other games too, so I'm sure we can find some to swap to from time to time. I'm a chill non-toxic kinda guy and some of my interests are kpop, Korean culture, crochet, drag race (the queen kind, not the car kind), gardening and travel.

Anywho if youre 20+ drop me a message and lets get to know each other :)

i am honestly tired of surface-level connections so here goes nothing, i LOVE learning so if u have a nerdy interest u wanna yap about that would be perfect, i appreciate highly empathetic people, humorous, i love banter and its quite literally my love language, i am a cat mom and i am discovering Christianity and spirituality, i am a girls girl and i dont tolerate misogyny, i dont like nonchalant ppl and i consider myself very passionate if i am interested :))

Hey everyone! I’m 30 from NYC and I’m looking for genuine, long-term friendships, not just a few messages before the conversation fades away. If we click, I’d be happy to eventually move the conversation off Reddit.

A little about me: I’m currently writing and producing my debut alternative rock album for my project, Greycourt, while also learning programming. Music is a huge part of my life. I’m into bands like Slipknot, Linkin Park, Ghost and plenty of others, but I’m also a big fan of hip hop.
Outside of music, I enjoy gaming, photography, horror movies, and random conversations about pretty much anything. I’m always happy to learn about other people’s interests too.
If you’re looking for a genuine friend and think we’d get along, feel free to send me a message!

Hey everyone, I’m 48, female and married. I live in the UK and I’m looking for people to just chat with about something, nothing and everything!

I love the outdoors (hiking, camping, sailing, paddleboarding mostly) reading (I love a true crime book) films (couldn’t choose a favourite - there are too many great films out there) music and cheese.

Potential friends can apply in my messages telling me something about themselves. If I don’t reply, please don’t be offended. There are only so many hours in a day and I can’t be friends with everyone. Assuming I get any messages at all!!

Anyway, thanks for reading!

Hi! Let me start this off by saying that it is very important you read all of this. I am 24, in a committed relationship with my boyfriend and we have a child together. I am looking for a platonic but great friendship. I work a desk job, I have lots a free time and my boyfriend and I don’t share many hobbies together so I will be free 80% of the time. What do I do in my free time? I play video games like dead by daylight, outlast trials, coral island and so much more. I enjoy reading dark romance novels, listening to music and watching tv shows, movies and anime. I am looking for someone who I can build a genuine connection with, someone who I can rely on to communicate with frequently, whether that be calls, or texting. I’m down to do anything, let’s watch something together, play a video game or even do our own thing but vibe together! If you read all of this then I know you are serious, dm with a dad joke and we can go from there. (Anyone who messages me without a dad joke means you didn’t read all of my post and you aren’t serious about having the same level of friendship that I am looking for)

Hey everyone! I know I’m older than most on these subs but I’m looking for a friend or friends to chat with! Im into a lot of stuff …Halloween..paranormal…horror ….the outdoors…swimming …hanging out

I mean, if your friendship has no benefits to it, why would you be friends with that person? I think the best benefits are having someone to be there for you for support and always having someone to talk to!

If you'd like for us to support and regularly chat with each other, just send me a message! I'd love to hear from you.

I have also been very introverted and antisocial since childhood, so I barely had any friends growing up. Now my social life is basically dead, no close friends, no one to really talk to, and honestly I’ve been feeling pretty depressed and isolated for a long time.

I think it would be really nice to find some genuine connections where we can talk every day, check on each other, have random late-night conversations, vent about life, or just make each other feel a little less alone.

If anyone else feels similar and wants an actual long-term texting buddy/friendship, feel free to message me. I genuinely put effort into conversations and I will always try my best to be there for you too.

Hi everyone, nice to meet you. I’d like to ask you to forgive me in advance for this long post, but I humbly believe that many people might relate to what I have to say. Thank you for your patience. For all those who will read this entire post, here a medal 🥇 and a slice of pizza 🍕! 😜🤣

Let me introduce myself: I’m a 25 years old straight man from Italy and, as the title says, I’m looking for a true and sincere friendship with a bro, a real bromance.

Due to various circumstances and probably because I’m growing up, I’ve realized that many of my friendships are quite superficial people with whom you can’t have deeper or more serious conversations, nor share many passions, because they’re trapped in their own “worlds” of hypocrisy, falsehood, and interests that no longer align. I feel out of place; I can’t be myself. Unfortunately, many of my closest friends live far away, and those who remain here in the city, even though I care about them, are a bit “complicated”. I’m trying to look for a person with a good heart and the right curiosity, someone with whom we can become siblings in spirit! I never had the chance to truly create a bromance and it has always been my dream 🥹

From what I’ve heard from others and read here and there, this feeling is becoming increasingly common among young people today, and there are likely several factors at play: a society that’s changing (and not for the better), an increasingly hectic lifestyle, a mental or psychological closed-mindedness stemming perhaps from fears, anxieties, and much more, or simply from opportunism and indifference… In short, for a variety of reasons!

I have many hobbies and passions: I’m currently finishing my law degree at university, and I consider myself a very open minded and sincere person. I’m quite ironic (and self deprecating), and I enjoy engaging with others and learning from them. I’m a good listener and I love conversation.

Although it’s not easy to write in a message, I’ll list a few interests: I love culture in general, such as history, art, and museums… I enjoy reading and writing . I consider myself an “old soul” by today’s standards; I’m the kind of person who loves taking long walks, talking openly about everything, and having deep conversations—whether about fun things or more philosophical and serious topics. I’m interested in politics, I appreciate movies, good music, and anime... I enjoy physical activity. I recently started going to the gym, I find outdoor activities and embarking on new adventures wonderful, as well as long walks, exploring nature, traveling, eating, and cooking... And I love animals, I also have a dog! I never judge, I love both lighthearted and deep conversations, we can talk about anything and I consider myself a very empathetic and kind person.

That’s why I thought it would be interesting to try and making some true and great online friends, a real bromance, since more and more people, both in my country and around the world, are doing this to get to know more and new people, and who knows, maybe one day we could even meet in person. In 2026, distance has become relative! Traveling to meet new friends and discover so many new things is part of life, and I consider these experiences wonderful.

So what am I looking for? Maybe I’m asking for too much, hahaha, I realize that, but it would be nice if there were a bro who’s truly interested in a friendship like this.

Someone with the right sensitivity and open mindedness, who maybe shares similar passions and interests, and most importantly, people who, after reading this post, thought, “Wow, so I’m not the only one who thinks and feels this way…”.

I kindly ask that only serious, kind people who are genuinely interested in building a meaningful, long-term friendship reach out to me, and please don’t just disappear afterward. Let me be clear: only if you truly feel ready and interested in a genuine, sincere friendship should you feel free to contact me; otherwise, let’s just skip it! ALSO very important: NO creeps, pervs or strange things!!! Please only serious people who would truly be commited, I know creating a human connection is not easy and takes time and lot of patience, thus think twice, thanks.

I need to clarify, I’m looking for a bromance and not for romantic interests or else, unfortunately certain people contacted me with absolute no intent of creating a friendship but for other purposes that made me… Very uncomfortable. I’m not gay nor bi, I’m simply a person who wants to have a sincere bromance since I never had the fortune to create a true connection with a bro.

Thank you all for reading this far; I’m sure many of you find yourselves in the same situation. Today we’re surrounded by so many opportunities to socialize, and yet, unfortunately, people often seem to withdraw further and further into themselves, for various reasons. Thanks again, and have a great day, everyone♥️

So I met this guy online a little over a year ago, and we clicked almost instantly. The thing is, we bonded because he was venting about his ex, and I ended up being the person comforting him.
For context, I only know his side of the story, so I can’t say whether his ex was actually as awful as he describes. But regardless, for the past year and something, I’ve been there through everything. I listen, reassure him, encourage him, and remind him he’ll heal eventually. He’s genuinely been trying to move on, and I’m really proud of the progress he’s made.
The problem is… I feel like our friendship has become entirely about her.
Almost every conversation somehow comes back to his ex. I don’t mind listening, and I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of being there for him, but I’m starting to realize that I don’t really exist in this friendship outside of being emotional support.
I’m almost always the one texting first. I notice when something’s wrong with him, I remember little details, and I check up on him. But when I’m upset, it feels like he either doesn’t notice or doesn’t know what to do, and the conversation just moves on. I’m not comforting him because I expect something in return, and I don’t need him to comfort me. It just hurts realizing that I pay so much attention to him while it feels like he doesn’t really see me the same way.
There’s another thing that makes this even more confusing.
I’m the type of person who casually tells my friends I love them all the time. It’s just how I am. But with him? We’ve never even said “I love you” or “I like you” platonically. Ever. The closest we’ve gotten is him saying I’m funny or that he likes talking to me.
For some reason, saying something as simple as “I love you” to him makes me ridiculously nervous, like it’d suddenly make everything awkward. I don’t know why.
Maybe I had a crush on him when we first met. Maybe those feelings are coming back. Or maybe I’m just emotionally attached because we’ve talked for so long. I honestly can’t tell anymore.
What makes it harder is that he’ll sometimes say he wants to find someone who’ll love him as much as he loves them. I always tell him he’ll find that person someday.
But a small part of me wants to say, “I’m right here.”
The thing is… I don’t even know if I actually like him romantically because I’ve never really gotten the chance to figure that out. For over a year, our relationship has revolved around his ex. It feels like there was never room for us to just… be us.
I don’t think we could realistically work anyway, and I’m not planning on confessing anything. That’s completely off the table.
I’m just wondering if this friendship has become too one-sided. I know he probably cares about me in his own way, but sometimes it feels like I’m his therapist more than his friend.
At the same time, I can’t imagine just cutting him off. We’ve been talking for so long that losing that friendship would hurt too.
Am I overthinking this, or does this friendship sound one-sided? Is it possible to stay friends with someone when you’ve become their emotional support for over a year?

Hey everyone! I’m 39, I work remotely, and somewhere along the way I realized my days started blending together with screens, emails, and telling myself “just one more thing” before I log off. 😅

I’d really love to shake that up a bit, meet some genuine people, and build friendships that actually feel like they don’t take effort.

A little about me. I’m working on getting healthier and finding my way back into fitness. I’m trying to stay consistent, make better choices, and give myself grace along the way instead of chasing perfection. I love going for walks, especially in the evening when everything feels a little quieter and I can just breathe, listen to music or a podcast, and unwind. I’m also a big reader and almost always have a book nearby. I love getting lost in a good story and hearing what other people are reading too.

I’m definitely someone who enjoys conversations. I like talking about life, goals, random thoughts, and the little things, outside of social media.

My faith is important to me too. I love Jesus and try to live that out with kindness and grace, not judgment.

If you’re around my age and also looking for someone to talk with about life, books, goals, health, or just everyday moments, I’d love to connect. It would be nice to encourage each other, share stories, and make life feel a little less like the same routine on repeat. And if you’ve got a favorite walking spot or a great book recommendation, I’m all ears. 📚

I'm an 18-year-old guy, nerdy and introverted. I'm lonely and don't have any friends or siblings. I love gaming, especially single-player games. I love playing a wide variety of different games, particularly older ones, and I hate casuals who only play one or two games. I'm currently playing Dead Space. I'm also interested in cartoons. I love deep discussions and diving into details about everything; I absolutely dislike small talk, but I can talk about most topics. Lastly, I'm interested in Linux and I use Debian.

You must be over 18 years old

Discord: i7sniq

We must share at least one interest

Hey! I'm 20 and looking to make some genuine friends. I'm currently in college studying social work. In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym, watching movies and TV shows, listening to music, spending time outside, and trying new things.

I'm pretty easygoing and enjoy talking about almost anything, whether it's random everyday stuff, funny stories, or more meaningful conversations.

Feel free to message me!

Lately, I have been feeling a bit alone, especially as I work from home. I would love having someone to text with everyday, and eventually voice call!

I do prefer someone on EST or at least a 3 hour gap.
I would also prefer someone who initiates conversation, because sometimes I feel like I’m the one who always has to do so 🫠

I would also love to share random pictures throughout our day, or just talk about little tid bits of things that happened through your day.

I love having deep conversations, but also love the small and silly talk.

# About me:

I would describe myself as a fun, caring, calm, and sympathetic person. I would check up on you everyday, and maybe pick at you in a fun way once we become comfortable. I’m an open book, and been told I ask deep question. So if you’re into that… haha

Anyway, I’m also a big music person. I love listening to Indie Rock, Pop, EDM, heavy metal, and so many other genres! I don’t discriminate. I have over a 1000 liked songs on my Spotify.

I also love all genres of movies. But most of all, I love horror films. For me, watching movies with a friend is the experience, not the movie itself.

I don’t smoke, drink, or do drugs. I’m pretty laid back when it comes to stuff.

I also love playing video games such as Rimworld, Minecraft, Palworld, Repo, Fortnite, Bloon Tower Defense 6, and many more!

So, if you’re looking for someone to chat and yap to everyday, hmu! I would love to chat with you through out the day. I’m almost always available, especially since I work from home.
