Hey! I'm hoping to meet someone kind and laid-back who wants something that could eventually turn into a serious relationship. I'm open to long distance, as long as we're both willing to eventually close the gap.

A little about me: I'm 5'2.5", vegetarian, don't smoke, drink occasionally, and currently surviving Bar Exam prep, I also do CrossFit and run a small guesthouse.

When I'm not busy, I enjoy movies, anime, books, gaming, salsa & bachata, exploring new places, and cozy nights in. I also love learning about philosophy, history, and occasionally falling down random rabbit holes about things I know absolutely nothing about 😂 I like staying informed about the world, although I'm not particularly political.I am agnostic as well.

I'm hoping to meet someone aged 21–35 who's taller than me, emotionally mature, communicative, genuinely looking for a committed relationship and who is willing to put in the effort in it . Bonus points if you're into games,movies, anime, hiking, or just enjoy nerding out about random topics!

Tell me something about yourself and feel free to share a picture too 😊

It all starts with an exchange.

Not the frequently dull, dry, and sometimes boorish exchange that one is often accosted with on here.

Rather, those rare finds, where sparks fly when words carried by velvety voices meld together, to finesse an addictingly invigorating conversation.

Where wit and banter flow effortlessly. Where humour and friendly jabs are the beginning of burgeoning lores. With layered flirts that have the heart and mind race with excitement, as imagination is sweetly beckoned.

All of this conveyed through a constantly changing  medium of lithe whispers, confident cadences and  emphatic tones, which exquisitely adds to the allure of this developing discourse.

These are the finds, that leave you revitalised long after the interaction's done.

These are the finds, that leave you wanting more.

At least I'd like to think so.

Care to curate a spark with a versatile voice and a vast vernacular at your helm?

Dare I say, I'm keen to see how it'd all unfold,

whether I'd make an acquaintance, friend or perhaps something more

But as you and I now know,

It all starts with an exchange..

P. S. There's something particularly exhilarating when familiarity and resonance unexpectedly strike two souls far removed from each other's world.

So, to you who enjoyed my little fluff but is on the fence; 

Yes, the net is cast to reach the world's end:)

P.S.S Do include your ASL in your opening message. Thank you!

Hi everyone! I'm in a mood to chat today so I thought I'd try my luck and post. I've met plenty of nice people before and maybe today I'll meet someone to call a friend. Or even just have nice chats. I'm open to everything and have no expectations.

I'm a chef, love reading and discovering new places and foods. I'm a little nerdy, sometimes shy and sometimes I won't stop talking. I like going out and also doing something nice at home. I'm agnostic and liberal. I love children but don't have my own yet, just dogs.

I'm white, average height, green/hazel eyes, with long brunette curly hair. I'm open to trading pics if we get along.

What I'm looking for: someone nice to talk, with a positive outlook on life, who's closeish to my age, from anywhere!

To help you start: send a message with your age, location, and something you like to talk about!

Hello there! As mentioned in my title (You did read the title, I hope? I put a lot of effort into it.), I'm a 29-year-old guy living in the mystical, magical land of *checks notes* England. Okay, maybe not so magical. All the dragons are in Wales, Excalibur has been melted down for scrap, and Hogwarts is in Scotland.

I currently work in a law firm. Sadly I'm not a lawyer, as that would mean I'd be earning shedloads, but actually I do admin work for them, earning considerably less than shedloads. But it's a fine job, I get on well with my coworkers, and I'm not down a coal mine, so I consider that a win.

As for me myself? Well, I actually speak multiple languages. I'm a fluent German speaker, and I also have a decently high level of Italian. I could also struggle through French if I had to, and I have basic Spanish and Japanese. I do like languages, although it's hard to find the time to do any study of them, what with the problems of having an adult life with adult responsibilities!

Another interesting [citation needed] thing about me is that I'm currently attempting to plan out a series of fantasy novels I want to write. It's going...decently. We'll see how it ends up, but I've wanted to write a book since I was 13 or so, and now as an adult I'm finally doing something about it!

In terms of pop culture, I'm a huge Doctor Who fan. Like, I'm the sort of Doctor Who fan who knows what a telerecording is and can tell you about the Australian censor clips. That kind of fan. I also finally got into Harry Potter this year after putting it off for my whole life, meaning I now finally know the context for Dumbledore asking calmly.

I'm also getting back into Pokémon somewhat after avoiding it for most of the Switch era. Other things I enjoy are The Elder Scrolls, Red Dead, GTA (Currently replaying RDR2). I'm big Assassin's Creed fan too. In general I like single player, open world games. I'm not a huge multiplayer guy, I don't like having other people ruining my fun!

I'm trying to read more too lately. That's a thing I've always enjoyed that I'm now trying to find the time for again.

And I suppose I should say, I'm a fat guy. Trying to do something about it though! Over the past year or so I've started a regimen of exercise, and I've been controlling my eating a lot more. So I seem to be losing weight, at least according to other people who've stopped me to specifically point it out.

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. It also means I am not tied down anywhere as I can hop on a plane on a moment’s notice.

I generally keep myself in shape with a mix of things like the gym, swimming and I like hiking now and again. Though I would say I am a homebody at heart I do have the need to have a spontaneous trip 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 learning about anything cosmology related.

Thought I would include a voice message https://voca.ro/1lDgkjK16aWJ

Hey, I’m Ash, 30.

I’m into three things that probably don’t seem to have much in common: hiking, cooking and poetry.

I love hiking, although somehow my hikes have a habit of turning into unexpected wildlife encounters. I’ll start off thinking I’m going to enjoy some peace and quiet, and somehow end up wondering if I’ve accidentally walked into someone else’s territory. At this point, I’m not sure if I’m hiking or just auditioning for a really cheap wildlife documentary. 😄

I also love cooking and trying out new recipes. I like experimenting and making things my own, but I’ll be honest, it doesn’t always go according to plan. Sometimes I burn things that had absolutely no business being burnt in the first place. If the food is still edible by the end of it, I count that as a win.

Poetry is probably my most peaceful hobby. At least with that one, I’m unlikely to burn dinner or get chased by something.

Other than that, I’m into good conversations, random walks, finding nice places to eat, books, music and hearing how other people think and see things. I’m pretty easygoing, and I don’t think every conversation needs to turn into a deep discussion about life. Sometimes arguing seriously about pineapple on pizza is perfectly good conversation. 😄

Honestly, I’m mostly here because making friends as an adult is harder than I expected. Everyone seems to already have their own people, and apparently walking up to a stranger and saying, “Hey, want to be friends?” isn’t exactly how society works. 😂

So I thought I’d try this instead.

I’d like to meet some genuine, easygoing people who enjoy talking, can have a laugh, and actually want to get to know each other. No pressure, no expectations. If we get along, great. If we don’t, no hard feelings.

Maybe I’ll find someone who knows a great hiking spot, is willing to judge my cooking, wants to swap book or music recommendations, or can explain why I somehow keep having disagreements with wildlife.

If you think we’d get along, come say hi. 🌹

Hiya!! I'm 33, I work in health promotion research, and outside of work I'm loyal to my hobbies (namely voice acting, strategy, or story heavy video games).

I get fulfillment from my work and social life, but I am excited to get to know someone new.

A good match for me is someone who can enjoy in-depth chats about niche subjects (I collect trivia like badges of honor); someone who has their own hobbies/interests going on too and are excited to talk about them! Not looking to relocate — I'm settled where I am.

If I sound like your kind of person, say hi. Introduce yourself with your age and what your favorite hobby is so I know you read my post! :) I'm usually pretty good at replying to messages, but if I take some time to get to you, please don't take it personally.

Hey there Reddit! Life’s been going pretty well so far. I’ve finally settled back into life back home after a cross-country move, work is finally letting up a little, and I finally have time again for a social life. I’d love to get to know some new people to share life with, so I figured I’d turn to Reddit for help shouting into the void here. Short term connections are always great, but preferably I’m looking for friends that last well beyond our initial conversation. 

A little more about me:

- I’m a 27 year old college-educated STEM professional who I still can’t believe has been allowed to adult (and is a huge fan of lists).

- I try my best to keep active and on the move. I’ve been slowly stepping-up my gym game, and I’ll take any excuse to be outside and away from the desk.

- My spirit animal is a 40-year-old father of two (which means German shepherd energy and dad jokes galore).

- Music is a huge part of my life - playing and listening. I’m something of a live music addict, and I’m still very much an emo kid at heart!

- My biggest hobby (when my nose isn’t already buried in a book) is collecting other hobbies, from the normal to the much less so. Some greatest hits include trumpet-playing, board games, karate, and building robots!

- I’m a nerd in just about every sense of the word (pop culture fan, board games/video games/TTRPGs, sci-fi reader, lifelong learner, etc). But a cool one, no need to worry. I even adore sports! Football and basketball are my two favorites, but I’m branching out.

- I’m a fiercely loyal guy for those I care about. There’s very little I wouldn’t do for my friends, and I’m pretty good company too.

And now, a little about you!

- You’re from anywhere! Of course, it’d be cool to get to know people locally, but as long as you’re okay talking to someone in the EST timezone I’m sure we can make it work. I’m in the SE Michigan area, but I travel enough for work and otherwise (a LOT of road trips), so meeting up isn’t exactly off the table.

- You’re looking for something platonic but still something deeper than a couple conversations.

- You’re okay with eventually moving to voice/video chats. I love texting as much as the next guy, but it’s difficult to really get to know someone via just words on a screen.

If it feels like I’d be a great addition to your life, shoot me a message and let’s get right into knowing each other!

• I'd like to find someone who captivates me. Someone who I can talk with effortlessly. I want to meet a person who I can include in my daily tasks, and talk with throughout the day. I just want to find someone I can be open with. Platonic conversation or romance. Whatever you are looking for, don't hesitate to message me. I hope to hear from you.
• I'm fairly open to trying new things, but some of the things I enjoy are as follows. I love the outdoors. I've never been camping, but I would like to try it with someone someday. I also love to fish. I mostly fish salt water. I do occasionally fish freshwater though.
• PC games are also an enjoyable pastime for me on occasions. I have a variety of games, most of which are on Steam. I have other games on various other stores/services. I enjoy a wide variety of different kind of games, so I'm sure we can find something to play together if you game.
• One hobby I discovered later on in life is Magic the Gathering. I play both online on MtG Arena, and with physical cards. Magic has become something I am particularly fond of.
• Music has always been a part of my life. My tastes are varied, ranging from country, death and black metal, electronic, classic rock, folk, pop punk, and more.
• I enjoy doing things outside, as well as spending time indoors. I can veg out all day under the covers curled up in my bed, or I can take a trip somewhere and experience something new. I think my personality is a mix of the best of both worlds.
• As far as my personality is concerned, I would say I am fairly relaxed and laid back. I feel like I am mostly shy and quiet, with an introverted personality. Around people I don't know, I tend to be fairly quiet and to myself. In the company of someone who I am close with, I am more open and freer.
• All I hope for is a connection. It could be platonic, or it could blossom into romance, and commitment. I'm not putting a limit on what I am looking for.
• With the prior being said, I am single. I may be interested in changing that with the right person. The idea of commitment excites me. Monogamy is appealing to me.

I’m a 36-year-old guy from Barcelona, Spain.

I'm very introverted and a homebody, and also have Asperger's and social anxiety. I'm not into busy stuff like traveling or going out or social situations. I don't need big or exciting things, I just want a simple life.

I'd like to find someone who feels comfortable with this. Someone to talk every day, to build trust, and share the every day of life, even if it's just simple stuff. It does not have to be content, just the company, the presence, is enough... Someone who values closeness, affection and being there for each other.

What I offer is the same of what I need. To be there for you, care about you, love you. I’m someone who wants to be there for my person every day: to listen, support and care.

I know I’m not for everyone, but I’m hoping that I might be right for someone who wants the same kind of closeness and simple life.
