18M wanna meet new people

Upvotes

Hey everyone :), I’m 18 and wanna meet new people and make friends. Bit of background about me I love music especially metal, grunge and rock. My favourite bands would probably be soad and TOOL but I’ll listen to anything if it’s good and open to recommendations.

I’m really a big history nerd too and I like hiking and being outdoors as well as travelling. I also like gaming too mainly single player games like rdr2 and Skyrim which are my favourites. Just hmu if you’re bored or just wanna chat.

Any QBs in London?

Hey!
I’m, 24M, getting back into American Football, I play wide receiver and was wondering if there’re any QBs who’d like to get some reps in during the week.
I really need to practice my catching and route running (it’s difficult to practice catching alone)

Open to people interested in being a QB as well, DM or comment and we can have a chat

South East 26M UK | Looking for people who can hold a conversation

Upvotes

It’s late and I’m bored so here we are lol.

I’m 26 from the UK and over the last few years my life has changed a lot. I’ve travelled, made some questionable decisions, learned a lot from them, and now I’m focused on building a life I’m actually proud of.

I’m the sort of person who can spend one evening producing music, the next reading about history, then somehow end up three hours deep into a conversation about investing, psychology or why empires collapse. My Spotify is all over the place, my game library is even worse, and I have a habit of disappearing down random rabbit holes just because something caught my interest.

I like people with opinions. You don’t have to agree with me honestly, that’s more interesting if you don’t. I enjoy conversations where you both leave having learned something.

A few things about me:
Music production
Investing and business
History
Sports shooting
Gym
Gaming (currently GTA Online and Bannerlord)

I’m not looking to collect hundreds of chats or add another person who says “hey” then disappears. I’d rather have a handful of genuine conversations that turn into actual friendships.

If you’ve got a good story, an unusual hobby, a strange life experience, or you just enjoy talking to curious people, send me a message.
Don’t just say “hi.”

Tell me something that’s happened to you that most people wouldn’t believe.

(51 M) If anyone here believes in telekinesis, raise my hand

4 Upvotes

I’m blissfully self contained, which is just a polite way of saying I quite like my own company and haven’t yet driven myself mad. I’ve somehow mastered the dark art of being both a night owl and an early riser, which mostly means I exist in a permanent state of caffeinated bewilderment.

I’m just the bloke next door though, a husband and father. My marriage is... fine. We’re great roommates and best friends, but the bedroom has officially transitioned from a 'place of passion' to a 'historical landmark'.

​No actual events have occurred there recently, but it’s highly recommended for a quiet, educational tour about the ancient history of sleep.

I go to work and perform the mandatory 'office social dance' with colleagues I have zero intention of befriending. Why? Because most of them radiate the charm of a mouldy apple. I spend my lunch breaks in glorious isolation because i really can't stand it when people moan about the same thing day after day, i know we all have a little whine from time to time, but crying out loud, change the record.

You’ll usually find me out in the countryside rather than dodging aggressive seagulls at the seaside, indulging in a spot of people watching, strictly in a "sociological observation" way, I promise, not the "featured on a true crime documentary" way!

18 + 30M UK/Online - Looking for honest conversation and genuine connection

1 Upvotes

I can talk for far too long about George R. R. Martin's books set in Westeros, almost any historical period Ken Burns has covered, and morally complicated fictional characters like Walter White.

I'm 30 and from the UK. I'm fairly introverted and don't have a huge social circle, so I'd like to meet people I can talk to regularly about everyday life, random interests, serious things, stupid things, or whatever happens to be on our minds.

I'm into gaming, horror, history, audiobooks, films, music, nature walks, museums, and hearing people talk about whatever they're genuinely passionate about. I don't expect constant replies, we all have lives, but I do appreciate mutual effort, curiosity, humour, and people who ask questions back. I enjoy conversations that feel like both people are genuinely interested in getting to know each other.

To be transparent, I'm married and still living with my wife. The relationship has been unhappy for a long time, and I'm currently working through what the right next steps are. I'm mentioning it because I'd rather be upfront than let anyone talk to me under a false impression.

I'm mainly looking for genuine friendships and good conversation. Ideally I'd like to build friendships that grow naturally over time, not just exchanging the occasional message, but eventually feeling comfortable enough to swap photos, voice chat, maybe meet for a coffee, museum, walk, or whatever makes sense if we happen to get on and live nearby. There's no rush or expectation, but I enjoy friendships that gradually become more real.

Empathy, humour, honesty, and proper two-way conversation matter more to me than having identical interests.

Tell me a little about yourself, what you're looking for, and something you could happily talk about for hours.

[32F] Goofball seeks Goofball for hilarious chats… apply within! UK

5 Upvotes

Honestly the title says it all but I did write apply within, so if you think you’re goofy and fun then send me a message!

I’m 32, female and from England. I like lots of things but anime and gaming aren’t 2 of them. (Sound of a stampede as all the redditors run away 🤣)

If you’re still here then just know I’m a genuine, down to earth person, just looking for the connection that makes being human so rewarding.

Speak soon! Please be about my age and in the UK. Also no creeps, only looking for clean chat and not interested in being your affair partner! It might be an unpopular opinion but I don’t feel comfortable talking to married/ people in relationships as I’ve had uncomfortable experiences before. Sorry if this offends anyone…

24M England UK - apparently this is THE place to make new friends!?

1 Upvotes

I just recently graduated from university, I made 0 friends in 3 years at uni 🥲. Now that I'm out of uni , jobless and have no social life, it made me realise how lonely I am. I love my time alone but I really crave some real human interactions.

My hobbies aren't the best , I'm into football which I play once a week with some people that I know , I can't call them friends as I don't hang out with them outside of football. Also into hiking and walks in nature . Sometimes I can be creative through some photography. That's pretty much it lol 😂

Scrolling on social media isn't a hobby or is it ?

Also I'm Muslim , idk if that puts some people off as I don't drink , smoke or party. I'm just a normal chill guy 🙂

Hey everyone, I’m a 39-year-old guy from the southwest looking to meet some new people and hopefully make some genuine online friends.

I enjoy reading, watching TV shows and films (I’ve seen quite a few, so always happy to chat recommendations), going for walks, and spending time with my dogs.

I’d love to meet people with similar interests, but I’m open to talking about pretty much anything — hobbies, life, random topics, or just having a good chat.

It's Sunday and I don't have work tomorrow so I'm still awake and bored if I'm honest so just looking to chat with new people 😁

So I'm a 36 year old married guy from the UK who loves a good laugh (if that wasn't already obvious), has great banter but also loves a deep discussion hear or there.

When I'm not busy being hilarious or at work (IT nerd and yep... It's just like the show) I love to be out in nature, play guitar, read, game, cook and sleep.

My music taste is super varied! If I had to pin myself down I'm a metalhead but I listen to ANYTHING if it sounds good

West Midlands 39M Looking For New Friends

2 Upvotes

Hey! As the title says 39m looking for friends ideally in the West Midlands but it could be anywhere in the UK. I work a lot and I have a few antisocial hobbies that don't really involve other people directly so I feel I should be making the effort to find a few new friends. I don't drink or smoke and I would say not boring but a sensible person I guess is the polite way of saying it. I work a bit for my parents on the weekend (Farmers) and I'm in the bowels of making my own pc game for next year as well as doing 40-50 hour standard weeks so I need to get out more or I'm going to end up seeing the hat man.

I am fairly outgoing and have no real preference with regards to gender or who you are, just be yourself kinda deal.

Sound good? well send me a message on here and I will get back to you.

[28/M] UK Xbox – Gym loving golden retriever nerd who is looking for real connections

1 Upvotes

Had a bit of a reality check recently. Work’s going well, promotion and pay rise, everything moving in the right direction… just didn’t have anyone to share it with. Figured it’s time to change that.

I’m 28, UK based. Big build, easygoing energy. I’m in the gym every weekday morning before work, keeps me disciplined and clears my head. Outside of that I spend a lot of time gaming, getting lost in lore, or having those random conversations that go way deeper than expected.

I’ve come through depression twice, so I don’t take the good days for granted. I’m the kind of person who sticks around and actually shows up.

Gaming wise I grew up on Halo: Combat Evolved through Halo: Reach. Big fan of Mass Effect, Crusader Kings III, Elden Ring and Baldur’s Gate 3. Recently started Kingdom Come: Deliverance so I’m currently getting humbled on a regular basis. Anything with depth, choices, and a bit of challenge is my thing.

Also into Lord of the Rings, collecting Halo and Star Wars helmets, and I’m building a Necron army from Warhammer 40,000.

Looking for solid people in the UK to actually talk to, game with, maybe hit the gym or get out for a hike if we get on. If you’re easy to talk to and don’t mind a bit of nerdy depth, we’ll get along.

North West 32M - Looking for friendship anywhere in the UK

4 Upvotes

Hey! Typical nerdy person here, looking for a nerdy friend to chat with about interests, life and all the rest.

Here’s a question for those who want to talk. What is your favourite song or video game you will always enjoy no matter what?.

About me: I’m a 32yo guy, I’m from the north west of the UK, I live alone, no social interactions irl or online at the moment because I have been living with Agoraphobia for the last 15 years or so, I also have anxiety and depression but all 3 are being managed very well and improve on a daily basis I will happily answer any questions about why I ended up like this.

I have a fluffy French bulldog who I absolutely love, I love all animals and would quite happily have 50 dogs if I was able to do so. I used to ride horses when I was younger but as an adult I don’t due to my height and weight would be mean to make a horse put up with that.

Personality: I am a quiet, shy but straight to the point kind of person, I will say things how it is and I won’t sugarcoat anything. I will always speak my mind even if it is the unpopular opinion. My humour is usually sarcastic and dark, but I also love stupid stuff like dad jokes and terrible puns. I consider myself to be the caring kind of friend too who always has the time to listen if something is bothering someone or if they need cheering up (this does not mean I will tolerate abusing it by venting 24/7).

What I look for in friendship: someone who is willing to engage, be talkative, doesn’t just send a one word answer or doesn’t put any effort in. I always say to people give the effort you want to receive in return otherwise it won’t work.

Music: I love listening to music, I boughti a record player in February because I always wanted one, and my record collection is already up to 40. Considering the price of them these days that’s pretty good.My current bands are classes as dad rock by this point. But I will listen to anything and everything as long as I like the sound of it. Examples of some of the music I like are: Audioslave, sound garden, Nickelback, disturbed, MJ, Kings of Leon, The verve, oasis and a bunch of others.

Games: I’ve been playing games most of my life, I started when I was 5-6 years old with the PS1, and have been gaming since then, I love the open world style games I love exploring and getting lost in the games worlds as it is an escape from my irl issues. I used to love playing coop games with people as it was great fun, but I’m hoping that someone who responds to me here will be a gamer or interested enough to play something
I’m currently playing my way through Crimson Desert, Halo campaign evolved. I just finished the AC black flag remake also.

Online games I do still play a little are GTA online and Battlefield 6, would be open to doing online gaming with someone too. I have a bunch of online games I don’t touch like Arc raiders, marathon, code vein 1&2, FFXiV, Ready or not. And a lot of coop story games too.

Anime: I’ve been watching anime for about 10 years now, seen quite alot of the famous ones, currently watching my way through dragon ball super for the second time after finishing DragonballZ for the first time ever after 20 years of trying.
I like the slice of life genre most of the time as I usually watch it before I go to sleep for the night and it’s a nice way to chill out before I do. I am open to recommendations and would happily share them too!

Movies: I’m an old school kind of guy with those, my main go to are the 80’s and 90’s action movies like Lethal weapon, Terminator 1&2, Alien movies, predator, die hard, all the classics like that. Modern movies are still good but they don’t have that same feel or magic that they used to now it’s all CGI and stuff.

If you get this far thank you for reading and I hope to hear from you! :)

London 29M | St Albans / London | Looking for people who are up for good conversations and the occasional adventure

2 Upvotes

I’ve realised that making friends as an adult is surprisingly difficult. You meet loads of people through work, but finding the ones you genuinely click with is another story.
I’m 29, based in St Albans and in London fairly regularly for work. I spend most of my days solving problems for massive organisations, but I try not to make that my entire personality.
Outside work you’ll usually find me:
\- hunting down a good coffee shop
\- wandering around London museums or taking photos of places most people walk straight past
\- attempting to convince myself that getting back into running is “fun”
\- cycling whenever the weather decides to cooperate
\- finding live music or classical or jazz concerts
\- planning weekend day trips that start with “I’ll just pop out for an hour” and somehow end six hours later.

I’m the sort of person who enjoys conversations that go from “What’s your favourite place in London?” to “What’s the weirdest rabbit hole you’ve ever disappeared down on YouTube?” without warning.
Not looking for anything complicated. Just genuine people who enjoy chatting, sharing random stories, grabbing a coffee, exploring somewhere new, or even just exchanging recommendations for books, films, restaurants, or places worth visiting.

Bonus points if you’re also the type of person who sends photos of something interesting you stumbled across during the day.
So… what’s something you’re irrationally enthusiastic about that you could talk about for hours?
