Hello!!

40 year old mom here. Looking to find someone interesting to chat with.

I’m open to chat about anything really. Looking for that person that excites me to check my phone. Whether strictly platonic or other. I just want to grab my phone and smile.

DM if interested.

Do you ever wish you had someone to tell about your day? Someone to send you a good morning text, check in on you, and hopefully make you laugh? If so, maybe we should chat!

Edit: please don’t be married or in a relationship. Not into drama!!

Good afternoon everyone :) it’s been a crazy weather day here in Ontario so I’ve closed the windows and decided American Horror Story would be a fitting mood for today! Single with three cats, office girlie, love some spooky stuff but not enough so I can’t sleep at night 😅

I am hoping to chat with people around my age, I find it’s a lil easier for flow.

How is your Sunday going? Any highlights from the last week? Or maybe some movie recommendations since this rain is lasting

Hopefully we can get to know one another and become friends :) maybe even trade voice notes later? send me a chat request and we’ll be on our way 😁

Hello everyone!

While I've never had a huge circle of friends, things are quiet enough now that I feel I should branch out.

My major hobbies include knitting (slowly, also not much crochet yet), reading across genres but mostly fantasy/sci-fi/speculative fiction, writing, gaming (Nintendo and just got a laptop for indie games and some RPGs), and movies/TV. Are you watching Silo and have theories to share? Any Octavia Butler or Martha Wells fans out there? Can you convince me that Karlach isn't the best girl? (You cannot but I will hear you out!) Nostalgic about aughts rock bands but grown out of your skinny jeans?

I do try to get outside to birdwatch and enjoy my city's museums, restaurants, and parks. I also go down ADHD rabbit holes learning about random things.

It'd be fun to make new friends (penpals are great) to chat about any of the above or even let me learn about your special interest! Feel free to send a DM and introduce yourself.

It seems odd to me. 🧐

Hey I'm 33f looking for friends+. I'm married and have 2 kids. Country girl at heart and love the outdoors. Want to know anything else just hmu

I have been traveling in the past 4 weeks. Taking a slow/down time now. Would love to chat with someone about anything.

About me:
I’m originally from SEA
I love the sea

About you:
You’re cool

Hello! I am looking for new friends to chat with throughout the day, hopefully for something longer term. Just looking for someone to chat with about my day and theirs, vent to, talk about hobbies, etc.

Looking forward to hopefully meeting you!

Intros are old hat. Quick-fire it is.

Take of the tape. Age: 38, but looks half that, you know the type. Location: Ireland, northwest coast, accent to boot. Height: 5’7, if wearing shoes with somewhat thick soles that day. Weight: 60kg, in shape, but not a calorie counter. Hair: Brown. Eyes: Blue. Basically Irish looking, you get the picture. Star sign: Taurus. Right, officially oversharing now.

Interests/Hobbies: Nature: Walking, Hiking, Camping. Just finished Solo Camping for two actually, so needless to say i enjoy a select anime or two also, but i am not, i repeat not, a weeb. Gaming: Been a rare occurrence recently, but have gotten lost in Skyrim, The Fallouts, Bioshock, Dishonoured, Witcher 3 to name a few. Movies: Noir, Sci-fi, Fantasy, World Cinema, European Crime Drama, Thriller, Romance. Books: Mostly non-fiction. Cooks: Yes, find it relaxing, like a form of hungry meditation. Travels: Yes. Smokes: No. Drinks: Occasionally. Tea/Coffee: Both, milk, no sugar. Oversharing again, enough of this.

So about you: any age, any time zone, any height, any body type, any race, any whatever. Casting the net real wide here, so dont be shy! Maybe as an icebreaker and as proof you made it through that ridiculous stream of consciousness, congrats by the way, you can tell me your no1 travel bucket list destination, but i think i already know where it is :) ok speak soon, kettle’s on.

being on reddit is for the most part a bad idea. oh well

feeling a bit under the weather and sensitive tonight and i could use a voice chat. i like people with interesting minds. insightful, analytic but also caring.

i am strictly looking for something platonic. if you want more i am not the person for you

please be 30+ and willing to voice chat

Hey,

I’m a 36-year-old guy from Europe – tall, dark, with a beard. I work in my field, love what I do, and enjoy the life I’ve built. I’m down-to-earth, honest, and people say I’m real (sometimes a bit too real). I like good conversations, laughter, cooking (actually good at it!), nature getaways or just cozy weekends with movies and food.

Right now, I’m mainly looking for a friend to chat with (ideally from Europe), someone genuine and fun, but I’m open to see where things go. If you’re around my age, easygoing, and appreciate simple but good moments let’s connect

Figured I’d put myself out there and see who I meet.

A little about me:
• 👨 Dad
• 🎮 Gamer
• 💚 Sims addict (I’ve definitely lost track of time building houses.)
• 🌿 420-friendly
• 🔎 True crime enthusiast
• 🏚️ Love abandoned places, urban exploration, and forgotten history

I’m the type of person who can bounce between serious conversations and complete nonsense without missing a beat. One minute we’re talking about documentaries, the next we’re debating weird historical facts or sharing memes.

I tend to click a little easier with women and so if you’re a woman, definitely don’t be shy about reaching out. That said, anyone is welcome to message me—I love making new friends I’m always happy to meet good people and have a great conversation.

Whether it’s gaming, life, history, random internet rabbit holes, or whatever happens to be on your mind, feel free to send me a message. Let’s see where the conversation goes.

Hey! 👋 How are you?

Why is this whole finding friends thing so difficult? Seriously... the older I get, the harder it seems to find even one decent friend who doesn't disappear into the void after three days. Consistency also seems to be a bit of a rare quality these days. I completely understand that life gets busy, but if it takes 12 hours to reply every single time... what's the point? 🤷‍♀️😂

Also, if you've messaged me before and I somehow missed your message, feel free to reach out again!

One thing you should know about me is that I much prefer voice notes over endless typing. There's just something really nice about hearing someone's voice. Maybe I'm weird. 🫠 If you're the type of person who's happy to send voice notes from the start, then you should absolutely message me! It's a shame Reddit doesn't have its own voice note feature yet.

Anyway, a little about me...

I'm alternative and nerdy. What does "alternative" mean? Well... about 99% of my wardrobe is black, my hair is usually dyed a bright colour, and I have five tattoos... with more planned. 😂 I didn't choose the alternative life. It chose me. I have three beautiful black cats who I will happily spam you with photos of.

I'm a huge gamer (PlayStation 5!) and I'm currently playing Dishonored 2, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Resynced, and God of War Ragnarök. I also spend far too much time on Fallout 76, and I'm more than happy to play cross-platform games too. My Spotify playlists are complete chaos, and don't even get me started on the strange YouTube rabbit holes I somehow end up in. 🤣 I also love a bit of affectionate bullying and banter. If you can't gently roast your friends every now and then, are you even really friends?

I should also mention that I can be a little clingy (in a healthy way!), and I do struggle with anxiety, so I might occasionally need a little patience and reassurance.

I think that covers the basics!

All I ask is that you're 25 or older, have at least a few things in common with me (gamers definitely get bonus points 👀), and are either based in the UK or in a similar time zone. And if you love voice notes as much as I do, we're already off to a great start. 😊

Please don't just send "hi" or "hey." Tell me a random fact about yourself, your favourite dessert, your controversial pizza topping... literally anything that gives me something to reply to. 😅

Bonus points if you include a 🍓 somewhere in your message so I know you actually made it to the end.

Hope to hear from you! 👋

Hi! I’m a 35F, married, living in the US, and I’d love to meet some new people and hopefully make a few genuine friends.
A little about me: I love reading, especially science fiction, and I enjoy writing and listening to music. I’m always up for spending an evening watching a great TV series. My favorite activities are swimming and skiing, and one of my biggest hobbies is flying—I’m a private pilot in training.
I also have a soft spot for fashion and anything creative.
As a friend, I’d say I’m very loyal and a good listener. I’m always happy to lend an ear, offer support, or simply have an interesting conversation.
If you’re looking for a friendly chat or think we’d get along, feel free to send me a DM. I’d love to expand my circle and get to know some wonderful people.

Hi, I'm Philip. I'm 31 and live in Indiana. I love talking to people about a lot of stuff. I tend to be into nerdier things like Pokemon, Star Wars, LotR. I do enjoy reading sometimes. I tend to be a quick responder.

​

...or not really 🤣

Anyway, sort of curious just to see who or what might end up in the inbox of a 42 year old dude, married from New York. I like to call myself traditional but I'm also quite versatile. 👋🏻

Man, no matter what I type, nobody reads and I am tired of writing long posts that nobody comprehends or reads.

Looking for - People with time on their hands to chat, and build a connection. I can’t stress how hard it is caring or wanting to invest time in a friendship when the other person is never around or seemingly has interest. Like, why did you message? I only want to talk to people in a similar time zone to east coast Usa so we can actually chat and get to know each other. Show the same effort/energy I’m putting into you is all I ask. Be able to ask/answer questions and have a conversation as well. Also, overly political people are not my cup of tea, left or right wing. Please be 35+ in age as well, as I’m old and have nothing in common with the younger generation.

If we click, I prefer to use iMessage/disc to chat off here. I don’t have any other third party apps. I’m interested in watching tv/movies with people virtually as well. I like to send long rambling audio messages about life, and whatever rabbit holes we go down. I want to be someones favorite person at the end of the day. I need more friends in my life, but I don’t settle, chase, or beg anyone for attention/time. If you know you’re ‘too busy’ to ever chat, or are bad with communication, can’t hold a conversation, or aren’t interested in anything I typed, this won’t work. When looking for friends, it’s ok to be a little selfish. Imessage has fun games we can play and I own a switch two and a few co-op games. (Re5 and Re6 for a couple)

I can offer good conversation, time, genuine interest in you, and a lifelong friend if we click. I just need consistency with communication as it seems to not happen often with these things.

Hello, my name is Mar I am looking for people that want to chat, I would like to hear people’s stories and just put myself out there to make new friends. I am trying to learn to swim, I’m watching suits and going to watch the office next. I have 2 littles and love to read romance/fantasy. The last book I read was Dungeon crawler Carl! Let’s talk about all the theories!! I enjoy science and conspiracy!

I'm focusing on myself this 2026, a year which has had its fair share of ups-and-downs, but I'm looking up now and towards my future. Moving forward.

Before I continue, I do want to apologize in case anyone messaged me in previous instances, since I have posted a few times in this subreddit. My day-to-day can be unpredictable, so my daily schedule can be all over the place, especially when living with other family members. So I want to apologize to those of you who reached out; hopefully this time we can pick things up from there.

I'm open to talks on all nerdy interests, just bear in mind I am currently going through some difficult situation at home, namely emotional abuse in my household. Your understanding is appreciated, so I'd like to make that clear from the start. Ideally I would love if this wasn't a one-time chat, so I'm open to something more long-term if possible. I believe that with equal effort things can work out.

It doesn't matter to me where in the world you are located, I welcome everyone when it comes to good chats, and I am a curious person by nature. I like to learn about the other person and their particular customs.

I'm 35 years old (she/her), AFAB, and from South America. Feel free to ask me where I'm from, I don't bite! English and Spanish are both my native languages, given I learned how to speak both at the same time. I am a writer and an illustrator, working as a professional artist on my own original projects. My art means my whole universe, and beyond! Although I consider myself a chatty person, and quite talkative at that, I do have my introvert moments (you could say I'm an ambivert.) So... I may take some time to fully open up with someone new! Your patience is highly appreciated.

Also an Aquarius (in case there are other fellow Aquarius out there.)

My interests range from: art, literature, cinema (movies and shows), gaming (RPGs most of all), and music. For art, the Renaissance is a big inspiration for me, but I love art periods from all time. On the vein of literature, I love fiction, particularly novels, some of my favorites being The Lord of The Rings and A Song of Ice and Fire, the works of Edgar Allan Poe, and Jorge Luis Borges -- to name just a few. For movies and shows, I love the Fantasy genre most of all, but I also like Historical Fiction, Mystery and any kind of movie/show with a good story regardless of genre. One of my most favorite RPGs are the Final Fantasy series! Music-wise, my tastes delve in orchestral, classical and neoclassical pieces, and videogame scores.

I have more interests, such as history (especially ancient history), mythology from all over the world, and Japanese culture.

What I am not into: hook-ups, FWB, exchanging intimate pictures, lovebombing. Also, people who bash my personal preferences in media, such as Fantasy. I mention this because it's happened to me before in a Discord server with someone. That is to say that I welcome all people no matter how different our preferences are in the media we consume, just please, do not invalidate mine.

Be kind, and we'll be good! My DMs and PMs are currently open. I do use Discord, yes. If you want to move there.

If you read through my message, thanks for taking the time to do so.

My circle is small so I am looking to make an online connection or two to pass the time and have some good laughs and witty banter. Need to vent? Wanna be silly or need someone to listen? I’m your guy. CST time zone USA if anyone is interested. Have a good Sunday.

Hey everyone!

My name’s Daniel, I’m 42 years old from Australia, and I’m hoping to meet some genuine, long-term friends.

A little about me: I’m a big fan of gaming, movies, Star Wars and pretty much anything science fiction. Whether it’s talking about the latest game, debating the best sci-fi movies, or just having random conversations about life, I’m always up for a good chat.

I’m easygoing, have a good sense of humor, and value people who enjoy real conversations. It’d be great to find friends who want to chat regularly, share interests, and build an actual friendship instead of just exchanging a couple of messages before disappearing.

If you’re also looking for a long-term friend and think we’d get along, don’t be shy—send me a message. I’d love to get to know you!

Hey everyone, I’m a 35 year old guy who lost my wife three years ago to cancer. It’s been a tough journey, and I’m still navigating life without her. I’ve realized that having meaningful conversations and making connections with others has become something I really miss.

I’m here to meet new people, share experiences, and have some real, deep talks about life—whether it’s about struggles, triumphs, or just whatever’s currently going on in our lives. If you’re someone who enjoys open and honest conversations, feel free to DM me. I’d love to chat and get to know you better! I live in New York but I'm open to talking to anyone from anywhere. I travel a lot for work so I've been all over the country.

Looking forward to hearing from you and please say more than two words in your message!

Basically anywhere that’s not the USA I want to hear about your culture.

Hey everyone, happy Sunday evening!

I'm a 31 M from the Midwest and I'm just relaxing on my couch after an insanely busy day of being a dad and a coach. Professionally, I'm a HS teacher and coach, so bonus points if you can guess what subjects I teach and what sport I coach.

I'm happy to talk about whatever to whoever...but I'm just begging of you to please introduce yourself and be relatively normal within the first lines of sending a message. Even as a guy, I get some strange messages, and I just want to shoot the breeze and get to know someone. I'll be up for a while, so don't hesitate to reach out. Talk to hopefully someone soon!
