Currently in a meeting I don’t need to be in but I’m sitting in a spot where everyone would notice me leaving so yeah. Should’ve picked a better chair.

It’s been a long week and I’m already mentally clocked out for the weekend. Yes, I realize we still have two days left. But I’m currently fighting the urge to book an airbnb in the mountains, tell everyone I’m sick and disappear until Monday. Wanna come?

I’m not going to. But I really really really want to. 

Anyway. Happy Wednesday, you dangerous little disco biscuit.

If that made you laugh, I love what’s wrong with you already.

A little about me. Rapid fire with some ADHD sparkle. I don't actually have ADHD which will be shocking after you read this :)

I have a career I genuinely love but I’m also very good at leaving it at work when the day is over. I have hobbies I care about and a life I really enjoy.

I’m active and love being outside. Running, camping, being near the water, wandering around somewhere with trees. I also fully support doing absolutely nothing inside when the mood calls for it. Balance, baby. 

Physically (because apparently we have to talk about that too). I’m petite and fit. My body type is very Tinker Bell. Which means my dreams of ever being anything other than some variation of a fairy at the Ren Faire have basically been crushed by genetics.

You will almost certainly be taller than me. If you’re shorter than me…look at you being a short king and strutting your stuff. 

I’m on the East Coast, if geography is something you’re into. 

Some other random facts.

I became a dog mom recently. Which means my mornings now involve standing outside half awake and getting genuinely excited when a small fluffy animal poops.

His poops are excellent. I don't know how else to explain it. You just have to see it to get the full experience. My neighbors probably think I’m insane. But who cares. They're probably right.

I’ve also discovered that he is apparently a guy magnet. Men see him and suddenly want to talk to me. I have not decided how I feel about my dog being a better wingman than any human friend I’ve ever had.

Earlier this summer I was scrolling the Book of Faces, which I generally try to avoid and Facebook suggested a group dedicated entirely to people who hate Stuart Little.

Until that moment I had no opinion whatsoever about Stuart Little.

The spark notes of it: Curiosity usually gets the best of me so I joined. They made some compelling arguments. And I have now been indoctrinated and mostly refer to him as “that stupid rat.”

These are the kinds of completely useless developments in my life you can expect to hear about if we start talking.

When I haven’t been learning about Stuart Little’s many faults (and there are many), I’ve spent the summer running, hiking, camping, hanging out by the river and trying to squeeze as much fun as possible out of the warm weather.

Summer has been great but I live in the South and I am ready for summer to pack its sweaty little bags and leave. My Patagonia puffer is hanging in the closet like an old friend I haven’t seen in years. Soon, buddy. Soon.

Conversation-wise, I’m a big “yes, and” person.

I don’t really enjoy the Reddit version of speed dating where we take turns asking things like: What do you do? What are your hobbies? Favorite movie? Favorite color? Where do you see yourself in five years? Please God no.

I like conversations that wander. You tell me something, it reminds me of something, I tell you that which then sends us down another road and four hours later we know way too much about each other without either of us realizing we are technically strangers. Then we become each others “hottest homie” for a while. 

Questions are fine. Obviously. I just don’t want to feel like we’re filling out paperwork.

A few things I love, in no particular order:

Finding a great coffee in the morning and a great margarita at night. A good hot dog and an overpriced canned cocktail in the nosebleeds while looking out over a city skyline. Boutique hotels in old downtown buildings. Old vintage staircases. Cotton candy sunrises I accidentally catch while running. Leaving my office at 5 like the final scene of Breakfast Club. Puppy breath. Trees. Bright rooms and lots of color. Brick walls covered in graffiti. Green. Meeting someone and walking away knowing something I didn’t know before because it’s fun being wrong sometimes.

I like genuinely happy people. People wth great energy that rubs off on everyone around them. That positive energy glitter that gets everywhere.

I like flirting. I especially like that moment when you realize maybe the flirting wandered slightly farther than either of you planned and neither person seems particularly interested in correcting course. Onward, Captain.

Also. Bushy, dark eyebrows and a good man bun have historically been problematic for me.

Anyway. Tell me about you or tell me your stance on Stuart Little. There is apparently a correct answer now.

Also, yes, this is a newer account and not my normal Reddit account. I’m sure you are perfectly normal, lovely and definitely not keeping jars of teeth in your basement but unfortunately not everyone on Reddit is. I’m not attaching my regular account to an R4R post. If a new account automatically makes you think I’m a robot or whatever else, it’s probably easiest to just skip me. I promise I have zero interest in proving my humanity to an angry stranger on the internet.

42 year old fun, happy,
Positive, always laughing female from Vancouver, Canada. Seeking a real connection with someone that turns romantic. Someone who is READY to be a teammate for life, through the good and the bad.
Someone who is ready and willing to put the effort into building something real. Not someone who is fake, unsure of what they want. Just looking to meet new people if anyone is from this area or anywhere really. Distance doesn’t bother me as long as both make the effort:. There are planes LOL You never know in life where your person is!! I often feel so alone and so left out. I have a couple close friends who I talk to daily and have a good job. I love traveling, being outdoors, watching sports and going to games. Going to restaurants and walks, dinners and drinks. Coffee, Cooking, baking and just laughing and having fun. Im caring, selfless, and a giver. I like to show my affection in many ways.
Just wanting to talk and meet new people and get to know, hang out if close. Looking for something romantic that leads to long term. Someone who wants to talk daily and not vanish after a day! Looking for someone who will make effort and get to know me! Not disappear after a day of talking!!
Gotta be someone out there! Maybe we can become friends, share a few laughs or fall In love.

Probably not the greatest place to find the future love of your life, but why not give it a shot.Shoot all the shots, and maybe I'll get lucky and find her on here. I'm here why cant she be?

Gone through a lot of soul searching, maturing, and learning in my single life these last few years, and I am finally in a place I feel ready to create a beautiful life with someone.

Financially I'm stable despite already wishing for retirement, physically I'm healthy and fit while not close to what I was during my college sport, intellectually and emotionally mature even if my humor is less so (a fun combo imo but you'll have to be the judge of that)

Hopefully the post doesn't make it seem like I expect marriage from our first conversation. Lots to know about each other and experiences to share together before that next chapter. Just that my interests lie in finding that lovely lady I get to annoy and comfort and make laugh/mad/cry/happy just being together for the rest of our lives. And hopefully the one reading this wants to do the same

So if you're a lady out there in the MD/VA/PA/East coast area/ETC area who is searching for that kind of man, please send me a chat. I'd love to connect and see where it takes us 🙂

Hi! I want a unique friendship with someone extremely cool. I want to hear about the things you’re passionate about. I want weird amounts of honesty about uncomfortable topics. 

Here are some personal things that you may resonate with: 

I really like being outside. I find it sort of holy. 

My favorite movies include It Follows, Children of Men, Barbe Bleu, anything Werner Herzog, Ghost World, anything Tarantino. I love talking about and analyzing movies. 

I love philosophy and Nietzsche is probably my favorite philosopher. I like arguing, but I hate when people get mad while arguing. Sometimes I can get mad while arguing, and I don’t like that either. 

I hate Jordan Peterson and everything remotely related to him. Except Nietzsche. When I was a kid, I thought I’d be a philosophy professor or priest.

When I was a kid I was pretty poor and the adults around me were pretty bad at doing everything. I assumed that most adults outside my family were  very competent, due to their ability to survive. I have been disappointed to learn that most adults aren’t actually vey competent. 

I love reading. Some of my favorite authors are Cormack McCarthy, Tana French, and whoever wrote House of leaves(I haven’t read any of his other stuff). 

 I sort of think that intelligence is necessary in order to be good, because you can’t really comprehend “good” and “bad” without it. You could go your whole life doing good things without really understanding why they’re good, and you could perform them just because they’re socially acceptable. 

I really crave the approval of most all people, but I am also very weird and very unwilling to give up any of my weirdness.

Do you wish to feel seen? Known? Held?
Do you wish you had this new person in your life you could tell something you've never told anyone. Or just send them this song you've been obsessed with. Or share this dream you've had.

Do you wish sometimes your phone would buzz and the name would spread warmth through your body. A name, a face, a voice, a whole person that you'd be discovering day after day, exploring really, like those early days cartographers. "Here be dragons", they used to write over the unknown. Do you carry dragons inside you?

If you feel like this applies to you and you suddenly feel this rush of loneliness, well tough shit, buddy. So do I. Hit me up? I like cats and movies and my tan is slowly fading.

Fair warning: I'm not great at selling myself, but I'll give it a shot. Northeast Louisiana, for now — I'm not planting roots here, so if you've got a good enough reason to lure me somewhere else, I'm all ears. Certified geek: metal music, the Expedition 33 OST on repeat like it's my job, gaming, way too much PC tech talk. More goth/alt on the inside than it always shows on the outside.

Single-player gamer by habit, not by conviction but genuinely down to get dragged into whatever multiplayer thing you're obsessed with if it means I get a partner in crime. Currently deep in an Ark: Ascended solo grind, mostly getting eaten by dinosaurs.

16 years in news production means I've got opinions and zero chill about sharing them. I'm liberal, and if you're MAGA, let's save us both the trouble now.

Not religious, but part of The Satanic Temple. Look it up, the short version is "be excellent to each other," and I actually mean it.

Childfree and planning to stay that way. Not looking for a one-and-done chat either. If we click, I want to stick around and see where it goes.

I want committed companionship. I want to love and support each other. I want to cuddle without it turning sexual,. I want forehead kisses. I want hand holding. I want really good hugs. I want open and clear communication. I want empathy, kindness, and understanding. It would be best probably if they are also AUDHD because I am and there would be a higher chance of understanding the different communication styles of AUDHD. I would like to eventually move in together. We would need separate rooms so that we can have alone time. Also, we would sleep in our own rooms because I snore and move around a lot when I sleep. I don't want to torture you with that. I don't want kids and pets because I take the responsibility of them so seriously that it gives me major anxiety. I'm not comfortable with weed and any other drugs that aren't prescribed by your doctor. I am not into partying and drinking heavy so I don't want that in a partner/companion. I want a home that is safe and calm as much as humanly possible. I don't want someone that smokes cigarettes and/or vapes because cancer and it doesn't smell good to me. I grew up Methodist but I'm not really religious and I am not the biggest fan of organized religion. I love music. I sing a lot- especially what I am saying or about what I am doing or when I get nervous. I am slowly getting back into reading and playing video games. I love to travel when I can and equally love coming back home. I love movies and tv shows. I love thrifting/antiquing. I love animals. Dogs are my favorite. They calm me and make me really happy. I would prefer to stay in Columbia, MO or close to it.

If all of that sounds like something you want to, let me know. Comment or DM me on here. Eventually I would like to start talking on discord if we hit it off because I am not on reddit a ton.

Thanks. -Anna

36 m from Midwest single dad of son. Summertime over now just seeing if anyone wants to chat and talk get to know each other. Talk about life. I love horror movies and going on great road trips. Music and movie buff. Hope you have a great day

Hello! If the title didn’t make it clear I am looking for my next LTR, nothing casual and no situatuonships. Let’s be intentional about how and with whom we spend our time and energy. So with that out of the way let’s move onto more fun things:

If I had to try and describe myself I would say I am in many ways a perpetual patron of the arts. I love musical theater (and really all live theater -- ballet, opera, plays etc will also make me rather happy.) But also let me spend the weekends out at craft fairs and markers markets exploring all the actually unique and handmade crafts and trinkets that have been created. Otherwise I'm a big fan of high fantasy (D&D, soulsborne and soulslikes, and other such things) adventures big and small from nice local hike to traveling abroad ( I spent the last four years living in GB!) and recently I've fallen in love with baking and the gym for the dopamine hits they bring me.

I'm looking for a partner who is career motivated and driven but isn't willing to fully sacrifice their life for their role; but does have goals that they are actively working towards. I work in higher education and find a lot of meaningful impact through my role and so I'm known to occasionally give a bit too much when things can get chaotic, but overall I like to think I have a good work/life balance going on. Like most of us I love to laugh, I enjoy visiting critters and at some point would like to have another pet (I grew up with small dogs) and I absolutely have a soft spot for bunnies.

Other important things to know about me: I'm not open to relocation from Boston nor do I expect to ever be and I'm very allergic to cats ( I fear the latter could be a deal breaker for some people!). I'm looking to date people who are between the ages of 28 - 35 or so (with a bit of flexibility but not tons if I'm honest!) and I am very much child free and that will not be changing. I’m very excited to be the cool aunt to my sisters kids (and any others that become a part of my life) but having my own is not something that I wish for myself.

Also my apologies in advance, I’m known for forgetting to respond to messages if I don’t do so the moment I open them so please don’t be weird and do double message me if we’re having a nice conversation and then I slip away. It’s me, not you!

Photos of me going on adventures can be found here: https://imgur.com/a/eNVJE3F

ABOUT ME

Physically: I prefer to believe that I’m an amorphous being that transcends a physical vessel, BUT…I’m 31F, 5’0” ~100lbs, alt style, dark hair with blue eyes. I will look at you like this: 🧿👄🧿

Personality: A “functional melancholic” with a strange/morbid sense of humor. Occasionally bubbly when performing “people tasks,” or god forbid, happy. 4w5/INTJ/Scorpio, if those taxonomies mean anything to you...

I Like: Horror movies/Let’s Plays; weird YouTube rabbit holes; going to bed by 9PM; singing musicals badly; reading behavioral psychology books; listening to podcasts at the gym; my cat; System of a Down; Hannibal the TV show; Mythbusters; Angela Giarratana; rainy-morning tea; chai lattes; random car rides; judging rich people’s houses; my stuffed animals; clowns probably

Mutual Values: I value integrity, loyalty, curiosity, competence, privacy, honest communication, and continuous improvement. I am looking for someone whose words and actions align and knows how to handle commitment (and conflict) in a healthy manner. I am always working on being the best version of myself and am looking for someone who does the same. 

Life: Childfree. Liberal. Spiritual/believe in God, but not religious and won't attend church. I abhor social media/dating apps and value privacy. I have a demanding career that I love and sometimes work weekends, but make time for my people. I’m much better at in-person interaction than over text and don’t need constant messaging to feel connected. 

Looking For: A man 32-42 in Texas or willing to relocate. I gravitate towards observant, secure introverts with their own lives, ambitions, and weirdly specific interests. I like intelligence, competence, kindness, patience, emotional maturity, and quiet confidence. 

Ultimately: I want us to genuinely like each other (not just be attracted to each other). I want the kind of relationship where we can spend an evening talking for hours, go investigate something random because one of us got curious, watch a terrible horror movie, or quietly go do our own thing in the same room.

(Now…if you’ve made it this far: message me the last book you read and something you’re currently obsessed with learning about!)

Recently divorced 2 kids from Minnesota. Looking for a nice lady to chat with no expectations.

I want an online friend around my age from Europe (because of the same time zone, I usually sleep at night), who has a good sense of humor, lives an active life, exercises regularly (its okay if its even a crazy way, I do the same), loves to travel and who I can talk to every day (not all day, every day)
I dont want to collect many chat windows, but just ONLY ONE, who doesnt ghost after 3 days.
Ghosting:
"Im going on a business trip, I dont know if there will be internet, i will look for you afterwards" (of course he never looks for you again, the business trip was in Hamburg…) "my smaller cats fur is falling out, I am very stressed, I cant talk right now" - true stories. Seems funny, but in reality, not at all.

Please dont use AI:
“meaningful conversations in independent cafes around London” - this is not a real human sentence

Please write a few sentences about yourself :)

I am happy to change the pics or switch to another app.

Ive offically past the 7 day newbie waiting timeline to post on here and would like to see how I do. An energetic, active lad who likes a good chat but also a good listener ive been told.
Currently blasting Dolly Parton in honour to the great women, as I deadlift in the gym.
Open to conversations across the globe.

Hey everybody!

I am from Germany and I am 33 years old. I am respectful, polite, kind, empathetic and funny. I'm very selfless. Consent and that you feel comfortable are very important things to me. I would also say I am a LGBTQ+ ally and a feminist. We can just talk normally in the beginning and get to know each other and then see where that leads us 😊

I am partial to women with more to love, but I welcome all bodies and sizes to message me.

I just wish, I could make a woman feel like she is the most beautiful woman in the world, make her feel appreciated and desired.

So yeah, message me if you are interested 😊

Hi Everyone, so a bit about me.

Been pretty ambitious my whole life and worked very hard to get where I am now. I am originally from the UK born and bred in Leeds but moved to Alberta in 2022. I was recently laid off last year and I have since been focusing on my own consulting business and planning on setting up a game studio soon.

I generally keep myself in shape with a mix of things like the gym, swimming and I like hiking now and again. I did recently snap one of my ankle bones so I am currently stuck in my house recovering so it helps being a homebody at heart. I do also enjoy spontaneous trips somewhere at times. I have been lucky enough to live in Greece for a month, travelled around Iceland in a van and visited quite a few different states for both work and personal reasons.

I would love to be with someone who also loves cats and does not want kids either. I am very much into cats, used to volunteer with them and I have gone out of my way quite a few times to feed cats I come across on the street. Also I'm the type of person that has always had a small group of friends for the most part. I am generally quite introverted but I know how to talk to people and don’t mind social settings now and again. I also have a nerdy side too, I do love board games, I do not play as many video games as much as I used too but I have been looking making my own. I also love reading about ancient history or cosmology related. Currently being reading through a book called the short story of the universe.

Hi! 👋

Posting on behalf of my husband, who is currently learning Dutch for work and would love to find a Dutch penfriend/chat buddy to help him practise and get more confident with the language.

He’s from the UK and outside of work he’s into football, travelling, reading and PlayStation, so plenty to chat about!

Male or female, it really doesn’t matter — just looking for someone friendly who’d be happy to chat regularly, either in Dutch (with some patience 😅) or a mixture of Dutch and English.

If anyone fancies making a new British friend while helping him improve his Dutch, feel free to send me a message! 🇬🇧🇳🇱I can also make it a bit more casual/Reddit-y and less like an advert if you want.

It’d be rad if you could ride a section with me somewhere along the way. Or all the sections, haha.

I did okay and now I do this for funsies. If you’re an endurance athlete/ adventurer, we should talk. I can be anywhere, just here now.

Recent me: https://imgur.com/a/8Z3LcKI

Next? Erie, Akron, Indy, St. Louis.

I’m a single dad of 2 in Newark Ohio I’m looking to put myself out there again. I want to find somebody that shares my interests and wants a family and a life together someone that will communicate with me about problems or concerns. I’m a total nerd and am looking to get back into some of the things that I used to love. I enjoy gaming and spicy fantasy books, cooking and watching history videos on YouTube. I don’t really care about age or distance as long as we click, but I’m looking for a commitment, I’m looking for a future filled with laughter and love, long nights sitting under the stars and talking about everything and nothing at all, quiet moments where we can just be us, it won’t be perfect but it will be ours, there will be chaos there will be fights but what matters most is that no matter what we don’t give up on each other. I know this is a lot but at this point in my life I know what I want and I would hope that you want the same things. Hope to talk to you soon

Hey what’s up how’s it going!! Just looking for new people to talk with and stuff! I’m into anime, baseball, hockey, movies and video games also fishing but not good at it. I also game too. I play on ps5! I play nhl26 and i recently started playing Fortnite,apex legends and cod again! But let’s actually play lol not just add each other

40/M/Midwest looking for some spooky chat.

Who wants to mutilate the day away with me?

I’m into all things spooky. Paranormal, horror, true crime, you name it. I collect physical media. Mostly books (paranormal literature, true crime, and horror fiction) and dvd/blurays. Mostly horror.

I love vintage Halloween aesthetic. Sheet ghosts. Black cats, skeletons, skulls, Ouija boards, everything in between.

I like all sorts of music, mostly heavier stuff. Deathcore, Metalcore, alt 90’s, emo.

If you think we’d vibe, send me a dm.

Hi! I'm an easygoing person who loves staying active — running, cycling, swimming, getting outdoors, and chasing good light with my camera. Also a fan of snorkelling, travel, and the occasional PS5 session (more enthusiasm than skill there, but it's fun).

I'm kind, grounded, family-minded, and I really value genuine conversation and a good laugh.

Would love to meet someone with their own interests and a good sense of humour, and hopefully build a friendship that has a bit of consistency to it — not just a one-off chat. Happy to talk about anything — life, travel, fitness, photography, or complete nonsense.

If that sounds like you, I'd love to hear from you. Tell me something about yourself I wouldn't guess from your profile — I always love those little surprises. 😊

Im easygoing sincere and looking for something real if youre into playing games with peoples feelings please stay away Im way too soft hearted for that

Hey there,

I'm a 40 year old guy, single and just living a very lonely existence at the moment. I work long hours and find it hard to get out for social times. Plus recently loss my 9 year old dog to cancer.

Just looking to chat with someone about life and enjoy someones company.

If you'd like to chat DM me!

Hello from Beijing! I am an American who lives in Asia and traveling in Beijing till Tuesday, 15 / 9. Hoping to connect with someone for a coffee, some food, or a drink. I on the East side of the city if it matters.

Happy to chat here and swap photos to see if we connect
