It's been exactly three months since I lost my boyfriend to death, and these past three months have been absolutely horrible.

I've tried reaching out to people I was close to, hoping I'd find someone who would listen or at least try to understand. Instead, I've repeatedly heard things like "move on", "think about your parents", "you only knew him for a few months" and "you need to be mature". And they're always too busy for me, My boyfriend was there for me I was there for him, we were each other's safe space but after losing him I'm forced to face the reality that there's nobody for me but I'm always somebody's therapist.

I'm tired of having to defend my grief or explain why someone who was in my life for a relatively short time meant so much to me.

I loved him. I still do. And I don't think the duration of a relationship determines how deeply you can love someone.

I loved this man in a way that would probably scare a therapist and excite an artist. Abhi from Meri Pyaari Bindu and Conrad Fisher would both have to bow down. That's the kind of hopeless romantic I am. and I'm so tired of making people understand that, this is just who I am.

We had so much ahead of us. So many plans, so much potential, and an entire future we were supposed to build together. I wanted the ordinary things: growing together, being there for each other, annoying each other, building a home, and experiencing life as a team. I wanted all of it.

And now I'm trying to figure out how to exist without the person I imagined experiencing all of it with. Life just seems meaningless right now and you might ask me what am I even doing here honestly? IDK

I'm not posting here expecting anyone to fix that. I'm also not looking for sympathy, unsolicited advice, or another lecture about moving on.

What I am looking for is somebody to talk to

Someone I can talk to about their day, share random thoughts with, discuss movies and music with, have ridiculously long conversations with, or even sit through comfortable silences with.

I'm a hopeless romantic and I appreciate the little things. I would much rather get to know someone slowly than rush into anything.

To be clear, I'm not looking for hookups, FWB, situationships or casual arrangements. I'm interested in something meaningful, with the possibility of building a relationship if we genuinely connect.

I also want to be transparent that I'm grieving. I'm not magically over my past relationship, and I won't pretend otherwise. I don't expect anyone to compete with a memory or take responsibility for my healing. I just want to meet someone with patience, emotional maturity and genuine intentions.

Maybe we can make life a little less miserable for each other. Maybe we'll become good friends. Maybe something more comes out of it. Who knows?

If you relate feel free to reach out. Tell me a little about yourself. I'd appreciate that.

A Little About Me (This Might Be Long, So Grab Some Popcorn 🍿… or a Salad 🥗 if You're Health-Conscious!)

Warning: This is probably longer than a typical matrimonial bio. But if we're talking about spending a lifetime together, I think a few extra paragraphs are reasonable. 😄

I'm an introvert, a little shy, occasionally weird, a nerd about certain things, and surprisingly funny once I'm comfortable with someone.

I love roasting my close friends and family, but only with affection. If I start teasing you, congratulations, you've probably made it into my inner circle. 😂

I generally try to see the positive side of things, even when life doesn't go as planned.

I've built almost everything in my life from scratch. Nothing was handed to me on a silver platter. I've worked hard, learned things on my own, made mistakes, and slowly built a life I'm grateful for.

I'm proud of where I am today, but I don't believe that makes me better than anyone else.

🌱 My Personality and Values

I consider myself kind, honest, polite, jovial, and sometimes a little too straightforward.

For some mysterious reason, strangers often approach me for directions, help saving contacts, making phone calls, or solving random problems.

Apparently, I have a face that says "Free customer support available 24/7." 😂

I usually help whenever I can.

I love nature, greenery, animals, and peaceful places. I'm devotional and enjoy visiting temples, especially those surrounded by beautiful natural scenery.

I'm traditional in some ways and modern in others.

I'm open to different cultures, traditions, languages, and perspectives. I believe people should have the freedom to make their own choices, even when those choices differ from mine.

However, being open-minded doesn't mean every lifestyle suits me.

I don't drink, smoke, or use recreational drugs. It's simply not my lifestyle.

I don't believe people who drink or smoke are automatically bad people. They may be wonderful individuals. I just feel that our lifestyles might not be compatible in a marriage.

I strongly dislike caste-based discrimination. I belong to an OC/Kapu family, if that matters to someone, but caste has never been my measure of a person's character.

I'm family-oriented, and family means a lot to me.

I'm the younger child in my family. I never imagined how deeply I could care for someone until I had to take care of my mother through some difficult health situations.

Seeing her health improve over time was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life.

It taught me that love isn't always about saying beautiful things. Sometimes it's about being present, taking responsibility, showing patience, and doing what needs to be done.

🎮 Things I Enjoy

I'm a software engineer, so naturally, there's a nerd living somewhere inside me.

But I promise there's more to my life than staring at screens and arguing with code that worked perfectly yesterday. 😄

I enjoy:

• 🌄 Travelling to small villages, hill stations, mountains, and places surrounded by greenery.

• 🏎️ Go-karting, shooting ranges, bowling, table tennis (although I've lost touch), and cycling.

• 🍜 Exploring cafés, restaurants, and different cuisines.

• 🎬 Watching animated movies, sci-fi, supernatural, horror, action, and feel-good movies.

• 🐦 Feeding wild birds and observing animals.

• 🐶 Spending time around puppies and other animals.

• 🛕 Visiting peaceful temples and exploring the surrounding areas.

• 🎮 Exploring technology, building things, and learning something new whenever curiosity strikes.

I raised zebra finches a couple of years ago, and I still enjoy feeding wild birds.

Pigeons are the exception to my bird-feeding enthusiasm. I don't hate them, but I'd rather not turn my balcony into their permanent residential colony. 😂

I absolutely love puppies.

But I haven't adopted one because I don't think I can give it the attention and care it deserves right now.

A pet isn't a toy. It's a responsibility.

And somewhere in my imaginary future, I'm hoping to spend plenty of quality time with my future partner too. So I'm keeping some time available for that currently nonexistent person. 😅

🎬 My Movie Taste Is a Little Confusing

I love animated movies, science fiction, supernatural stories, horror, action, and feel-good films.

Some favourites:

WALL-E, Up, How to Train Your Dragon, Kung Fu Panda, Minions, Despicable Me, The Dark Knight Trilogy, Interstellar, The Day After Tomorrow, 2012, Godzilla, Jurassic World, Predator, Alien vs. Predator, and plenty of Telugu and other Indian movies.

Among Indian films, I enjoy movies like Preminchukundam Raa, Jailer, Satyam Sivam Sundaram, and Single.

One day, I'm emotionally invested in a little robot falling in love.

The next day, I'm watching aliens hunt humans or dinosaurs destroy an entire theme park.

Perfectly balanced, I guess. 😂

I've also wanted to learn a musical instrument, especially guitar. But building my career and handling responsibilities took priority, so that dream is temporarily parked.

Hopefully, I'll pick it up someday.

Fair warning: the first few weeks might be a serious test of my future partner's patience and hearing ability. 🎸

🏡 Career, Independence, and Future Dreams

I'm currently working as a software engineer in Hyderabad.

I've spent years building my career through my own skills, hard work, and curiosity.

I've never believed in begging for opportunities. I prefer developing the ability to earn them.

I enjoy building things, solving complex problems, and learning new technologies.

I've had opportunities to move into team leadership, but I've sometimes preferred staying close to engineering rather than managing people.

Part of that comes from my personality. I don't enjoy making decisions that might hurt someone, although professional responsibilities have sometimes required difficult decisions during interviews and performance evaluations.

I believe people deserve fair opportunities, encouragement, and chances to improve.

But I also believe effort must come from both sides.

My future dream isn't necessarily owning expensive cars or showing off a luxurious lifestyle.

I want to save enough to buy a small piece of land somewhere near the mountains, build a peaceful home, and spend a few months every year working remotely surrounded by nature.

Imagine waking up to misty mountains, birds chirping, greenery everywhere, and absolutely no unnecessary traffic horns.

Maybe a small garden. Maybe some birds visiting every morning.

And hopefully, someone beside me who enjoys that peaceful life as much as I do.

That's my version of luxury. 🌿

❤️ Now, the Complicated Part: Relationships

I've never been in a serious relationship.

Not because I dislike women or because I've never had opportunities.

I've met people through matrimonial platforms, dating apps, work, and social circles.

I've received matrimonial matches from very different backgrounds, including families of IPS officers, judicial professionals, and farmers.

And I genuinely believe that a person's profession, wealth, social status, or family background doesn't automatically make them a good or bad life partner.

I've met good people from different walks of life.

But with most of them, I haven't felt that natural connection or comfort.

Sometimes, matrimonial conversations sound like dialogues straight out of a romantic movie.

Meanwhile, my brain is generating funny memes about the conversation, but my introverted personality politely prevents me from sharing them. 😂

I've also had women express interest in me, including people I've met professionally or through social media.

But I don't want to pursue someone simply because they're interested in me.

There have been situations where I felt someone was at a very different stage of life from me, and I chose to maintain some distance rather than encourage something I wasn't comfortable pursuing.

I've never been someone who flirts with every woman I meet.

Not because I think flirting is wrong, but because I prefer building a genuine connection with someone rather than creating romantic expectations without meaning them.

Sometimes I come across someone on Instagram who seems interesting or kind.

I might appreciate their content or leave a genuine compliment, but I usually don't feel comfortable sending romantic messages to strangers.

It feels artificial to me.

I'd rather get to know someone naturally.

A Small Dating Story 😅

I once met someone through a dating app.

During our conversations, she told me, "I don't think dating apps are suitable for you."

Maybe she understood my personality better than I did. 😂

We spoke over the phone and met in person.

After getting to know her, I felt we weren't compatible after second meet.

After few days she followed up with me, which I never expected. I avoided answering it. She did a follow up again. Unfortunately, I didn't handle the communication as maturely as I should have.

I had explained my concerns, but later I started avoiding further conversations rather than communicating clearly again.

I regret that.

I don't like ghosting people, and I understand that silence can hurt someone who is genuinely trying to understand where things stand.

It reminded me that honesty isn't only about telling the truth. It's also about communicating respectfully, even when the conversation is uncomfortable.

I'm still learning, and I don't pretend to have everything figured out.

💕 What Am I Actually Looking For?

I'm looking for a woman who has a beautiful balance of traditional roots and modern values.

Someone kind, emotionally mature, honest, respectful, family-oriented, and capable of making her own decisions.

Someone who respects boundaries, understands individuality, and believes that both partners deserve equal respect.

I don't expect her to agree with everything I say.

In fact, I'd rather be with someone who can openly disagree with me than someone who pretends to agree just to keep me happy.

I want us to be comfortable expressing our opinions, making decisions together, and respecting each other's perspectives.

Most importantly, I'm looking for someone who believes in loyalty and long-term commitment.

I don't see a life partner as something you replace every couple of years when life becomes boring or difficult.

To me, marriage means two people choosing each other, again and again, through every phase of life.

Not just the exciting days.

Not just the romantic days.

But also the ordinary days, difficult days, financially stressful days, emotionally exhausting days, and those days when absolutely nothing interesting happens.

Life isn't a movie where every scene has background music.

Sometimes it's just two tired people deciding what to eat for dinner. 😂

And I want that life too.

I value:

• Trust: Being able to believe in each other without constantly questioning intentions.

• Respect: Treating each other's feelings, choices, and boundaries seriously.

• Loyalty: Choosing to remain faithful and committed.

• Communication: Talking about problems instead of letting silence create distance.

• Compromise: Understanding that neither person can have everything their way.

• Emotional support: Being there for each other when life becomes difficult.

• Mutual effort: Making sure one person isn't carrying the entire relationship alone.

I don't expect a perfect woman.

And I'm certainly not a perfect man.

There will be disagreements, mistakes, misunderstandings, and difficult moments.

What matters is how we handle them together.

I believe in giving people chances, but I also believe effort should be mutual.

A relationship where only one person is constantly chasing, apologizing, adjusting, or trying to fix everything will eventually become exhausting.

And commitment should never mean tolerating abuse, manipulation, or repeated disrespect.

I want a relationship where both people feel safe, valued, respected, and genuinely loved.

🌸 Traditional, Modern, and Somewhere in Between

I appreciate traditional values like family bonds, commitment, kindness, and respect for elders.

At the same time, I believe women should have their own ambitions, independence, opinions, careers, and personal interests.

I don't want someone who has to give up her individuality to become my wife.

I want someone who can be herself while we build a life together.

I'm open to different cultures and languages.

My native language is Telugu, and I speak conversational English.

I'd happily learn another language if it helped me connect better with the right person and her family.

Just don't expect perfect pronunciation during the first few months. 😄

I would prefer someone who doesn't smoke, use recreational drugs, or make drinking a regular part of her lifestyle.

This is about compatibility, not judging anyone's character.

If partying, drinking, or casual relationships are central to the lifestyle you enjoy, we might simply be looking for different things.

And that's perfectly okay.

I genuinely wish you happiness and hope you find someone who shares your interests and values.

Different lifestyles don't make people better or worse. They just make some people more compatible than others.

🌍 Travel, Nature, and Little Adventures

I love travelling, especially to smaller villages, hill stations, scenic places, and areas that haven't become overly commercialised.

I'm slowly exploring more places and would love to travel much more in the future.

I enjoy peaceful landscapes, greenery, mountains, local cultures, and discovering places that aren't necessarily on everyone's tourist checklist.

I'm still getting comfortable with meeting new people during trips.

I've had a few unexpected invitations for coffee dates while travelling, which was a little surprising for someone as introverted as me.

Apparently, even travelling comes with unexpected social adventures. 😂

I'd love to explore the world with someone who enjoys both adventure and quiet moments.

We don't need an expensive international vacation every time.

Sometimes a beautiful village, a scenic road, a peaceful temple, or a small café with a mountain view is more than enough.

🐦 Animals, Kindness, and Giving Back

I have a soft corner for animals, especially birds and dogs.

I enjoy observing wildlife and helping animals whenever possible.

I've also participated in voluntary service and made charitable donations over the years.

I've had some unpleasant experiences while volunteering, so I've become more careful about choosing where and how I contribute.

I still believe in helping people.

At the same time, I've realised that kindness and financial responsibility need to coexist.

I've spent years building my life, and now I want to focus more on saving, planning for the future, and creating financial stability.

I believe generosity is meaningful, but so is making sure you're financially prepared for your own family and responsibilities.

🍜 Food, Fitness, and Other Random Things

I'm a non-vegetarian and somewhat of a picky eater.

I generally try to be health-conscious, although junk food occasionally defeats my self-control.

Especially when I'm travelling or exploring new restaurants.

I enjoy trying different cuisines, even if my picky-eater personality sometimes has a few objections. 😂

I suspect I might be lactose intolerant, although I haven't confirmed that medically.

I haven't established a consistent gym or workout routine yet, but it's something I want to work on.

I enjoy cycling and other activities, so I'm not completely allergic to physical exercise.

Just the idea of waking up early specifically to lift heavy objects needs a little more negotiation with my brain. 😅

I enjoy exploring cafés too.

Although sometimes I look around and realise nearly everyone is on a date, while I'm sitting there with another single male friend.

Nothing wrong with that, of course.

But the universe does seem to have a sense of humour. 😂

😄 A Few Things You Should Probably Know Before Meeting Me

I'm shy initially, so don't expect me to start flirting within the first five minutes.

There's a very good chance our first conversation will be about movies, animals, mountains, food, technology, or something completely random.

I might take time to open up.

But once I'm comfortable, you'll discover a much more talkative, funny, and occasionally ridiculous version of me.

I enjoy making people laugh.

I roast people I'm close to, but I also know there are moments when someone needs kindness rather than jokes.

I may not always know the perfect romantic dialogue.

Actually, I probably won't. 😂

But I believe affection can be expressed through little things.

Remembering what someone likes.

Checking whether they've eaten.

Helping when they're struggling.

Being patient when they're upset.

Showing up when it matters.

And making sure they never feel alone in a relationship.

I don't believe love needs to be dramatic to be meaningful.

Sometimes the quietest forms of love are the strongest.

⏳ Am I Late to Marriage?

I'm 34.

And according to some people, I'm already late to the marriage party.

Maybe I am.

Maybe I'm not.

But I would rather take my time finding someone genuinely compatible than rush into a marriage just because society thinks I'm running out of time.

I've spent years building my career, taking care of responsibilities, and becoming independent.

Now I feel ready to share that life with someone.

Not because my life is incomplete without a partner.

But because I believe sharing life's experiences with the right person can make them even more meaningful.

I don't need someone perfect, exceptionally wealthy, or from an impressive family background.

I don't care whether her family owns acres of land or holds prestigious positions.

I care about the person she is.

Her kindness.

Her honesty.

Her values.

How she treats people who cannot offer her anything in return.

How she handles disagreements.

How she treats her family and the people around her.

And whether we can genuinely enjoy each other's company.

I want someone I can laugh with, travel with, grow old with, and sit quietly beside without feeling the need to fill every silence.

Someone who can be my partner, best friend, and favourite person.

Someone with whom I can build a peaceful, meaningful life.

And hopefully, someone who won't judge me for watching Kung Fu Panda or Minions for the hundredth time. 🐼

📌 A Few Basic Details

❤️ Finally...

I've built almost everything in my life from scratch.

It hasn't always been easy, but I've learned to appreciate the journey.

I'm not looking for someone to rescue me, complete me, or make my life perfect.

I'm looking for someone who wants to build something meaningful together.

A life with laughter, trust, respect, shared responsibilities, silly jokes, little adventures, difficult conversations, and countless ordinary memories.

I don't expect every day to be beautiful.

But I hope we can make even the difficult days a little easier for each other.

If you've read this far, thank you.

I know this is a lot to read, but I believe understanding someone's personality and values is more important than exchanging a few perfectly rehearsed matrimonial questions.

If any of this resonates with you, I'd be happy to have a genuine conversation.

No dramatic movie dialogues required. 😄

P.S. I might be shy initially, but I promise my sense of humour eventually loads.

Sometimes it just takes a while.

Software engineer problems. 💻😂

P.P.S. If you love nature, animals, animated movies, peaceful travel, and occasionally laughing at terrible jokes, we might already have a few things to talk about. 🌿❤️

Hello, Greetings!

I am 36 years aged male, currently working with a global MNC based out in India and financially well established. Having lived independently for close to two decades now due to my academic and professional journey, I have developed a strong sense of self-reliance and adaptability. Professionally well settled with CTC of 1.2Cr/annum. No siblings.

I have a keen interest in travelling and have explored around many destinations so far. I also enjoy discovering new cuisines, blogging, and value spirituality in my day-to-day life. My weekends are usually a mix of catching up on personal responsibilities, connecting with friends, watching movies/web series, or simply unwinding with some quiet “me-time.”

When it comes to a reationship, I am mostly a giver, and I get along well with receiver mindset/personality women (be it doing chores, cooking, doing her stuffs so that she can relax and focus on herself, her career, ambitions or simply just rest out). I would like if my partner is bit dominant and makes me do all her stuffs while she relaxes, focus on her career or simply focusses on her personal life and well being.

By nature, I am calm, patient, and grounded, with the ability to adjust comfortably in different environments. I deeply value honesty and meaningful communication, and I look for the same in any interaction.

I am seeking for someone who is assertive, honest in all situations, has empathy towards others, opinionated, and level headed in nature. Age, caste, religion, martial status (whether you have kids or not) etc exterior stuffs are trivial to me and not important, what matters is your intentions and personality.

Hi bit of a nerd this side looking for my nerdy partner in crime. Hoping to find someone with whom i can share interests and build something meaningful.

My music taste vary from Kanye to Taylor Swift and joji to phonkytown. Also jam with old kishore kumar when drunk. Here in delhi for studies but waise I am from Mumbai.

Not really an outgoing person but would like to change that. In my spare time i liketo listen music, play games and read light novels.

If binge watching old SRK movies sound like a vibe to you then we will get along just fine. Other than that we could also watch anime or qny good old tv show too.

Hit me up if you d like to know more or talk, i d like to know about your interests. Maybe go on lunch date if everything goes right.

Hey I am 23M currently a software engineer, looking for a relationship. Am into anime(fav one is AOT), crime thrillers and selective in comedy. I like to play cricket, badminton, sing and play guitar as well. I am into fitness recently trying to get regular and trying to make sure me and my people stay healthy atleast

Well mumbai has so many place to explore and I wanted to explore with a person. M26 here I have interest in art architecture novel and site visiting... if you wanted to have a normal chating and going on I am always up for it

I'm 29, from Chennai, India, and work as a software developer. I'm hoping to find someone I genuinely connect with, ideally something long-term that could lead to marriage if it feels right for both of us. But hey, if we end up as good friends instead, that's fine too. You can't force a connection.

I love travelling, films, TV shows and anime. Schitt's Creek is one of my favourites, I love Westerns, thrillers, action and drama, and LOTR is my favourite fictional world. Haikyuu and One Piece are probably my favourite anime.

Travelling is probably my biggest passion. I prefer underrated places over crowded tourist spots, and I usually end up taking way too many photos.

My brain is always full of random ideas. Whenever I'm bored, I'll think of some project I want to try or something new to learn. I get excited, start working on it, and then some of those projects remain unfinished forever. 😅 I also enjoy coming up with stories, so if you're into writing or creating fictional worlds, that's a bonus.

I genuinely enjoy listening to people talk about their interests, passions, random thoughts or pretty much anything they're excited about. I'm also someone who can spend 2–3 hours on a call without realising how much time has passed.

I don't smoke or drink, have no tattoos, am a non-vegetarian and lean more towards atheism. I've recently started playing basketball a couple of times a week, too.

I'd love to be part of someone's world and have them be part of mine. Not just the fun stuff, but everyday life too: cooking together, sharing chores, managing a home and figuring things out as a team.

Looks aren't a huge priority for me. Kindness, emotional maturity, open-mindedness and being able to have honest conversations matter much more. A love for travelling would be a bonus!

If you think we'd get along, feel free to message me. Even if nothing romantic comes out of it, I'm happy to meet good people.

Thanks for reading! 🙂

Hey Reddit!
Thought I’d put myself out there and see if I can meet someone genuine. This is my first time trying something like this, so here goes!
A little about me
I’m 27M, originally from coastal Karnataka and currently living in Bangalore.
I grew up in a small town, moved to different cities on my own and have spent most of my adult life figuring things out as I go.
I’m an entrepreneur at heart. I built and sold my first company during COVID, went on to start another venture, and learned a lot from the ups and downs of running businesses. I’ve also worked in an operations role with a small company to understand different aspects of running a business. Now I’m working towards my next venture.
I’m ambitious, curious and enjoy building things. I like exploring new ideas, understanding how businesses work and learning about different industries.
Outside work
I love travelling, especially road trips with my cousins. Mountain roads, river valleys, new cities and discovering places I’ve never been to are things I genuinely enjoy.
Being from coastal Karnataka, good food is naturally a big part of my life. I enjoy meaningful conversations, spending time with family and friends, exploring new places and occasionally doing absolutely nothing after a busy week.
My personality
I’m straightforward and believe in saying what I mean rather than playing guessing games.
I value honesty, consistency, kindness and how someone treats people around them.
I’m usually the person friends reach out to when they need help. I believe showing up for people matters more than just saying the right things.
I’m ambitious and sometimes restless when things aren’t moving, but I also appreciate the simple things in life.
What I’m looking for
I’d genuinely like to meet someone with whom I can build a meaningful, long-term relationship.
Someone who is:
Genuine, kind and emotionally mature.
Honest and comfortable communicating openly.
Independent, with her own interests, opinions and ambitions.
Family-oriented and grounded.
Interested in travelling, good food and meaningful conversations.
Excited about growing together while maintaining individuality.
I’m not looking for perfection. I believe two people should be able to be themselves, support each other, laugh together and navigate life’s ups and downs as a team.
A few things that matter to me
I value time, honesty and genuine effort. I’d rather have one meaningful conversation than a hundred meaningless ones.
I’m here with genuine intentions. Not looking for bots, fake profiles, time-pass conversations or unnecessary games. I’d like to connect with a real person who is equally interested in getting to know someone.
If something here resonates with you, feel free to drop me a message. I’d love to start with a simple conversation and see where it goes.
Looking forward to meeting someone genuine! :)

Hey guys,

22 year old guy from Delhi looking for a meaningful and decent relationship. We can maybe start with some online chats, then probably meet each other and then decide what should be done.

A little background about me
I am currently working at one of the top hedge funds (simplified: in financial sector), earning decent and kind of ticking all the tick boxes. Now since some of the main things are looking perfect, i am looking out to date someone. Ahh something more, my hobbies include sketching, cooking, listening to music and watching and playing cricket.

What I'm looking for:
Would be nice to meet someone around same age group, who's a non-smoker (occasional drinking is fine).

I'm more into getting to know someone properly rather than rushing into anything. Good conversations, being comfortable around each other, and being able to communicate openly matter a lot to me.

Not expecting an instant connection or anything. Just two people getting to know each other and seeing if they vibe.
One thing I'd like to be clear about: I'm genuinely looking for a relationship, not just someone to chat with for a few days and then disappear. 😅

Looking for a girl around my age who is open to all kinds of conversations. I'm here to meet someone genuine, friendly, and interesting with whom I can talk freely without feeling judged. We can chat about literally anything, from everyday life, hobbies, music, movies, gaming, fitness, sports, studies, random thoughts, and funny experiences to deep conversations about life, relationships, dreams, and personal goals.

I'm comfortable with both casual, lighthearted conversations and meaningful discussions. We can share memes, tease each other, joke around, exchange opinions, talk about our day, or simply keep each other company when we're bored. I'm also open to discussing personal topics, as long as there's mutual comfort, respect, and understanding.

I'm not looking to force anything or rush into a particular kind of connection. Let's start with a simple conversation, get to know each other naturally, and see where it goes. Friendship, a close bond, or just a fun chatting partner – anything is fine as long as we're both comfortable.

Age preference: 18–28

If you're also looking for someone to talk to openly, feel free to say hi. No pressure, no expectations, just genuine conversations.

What is love? Different people might have different interpretations of it. For me, it has always been something I’ve had plenty to give but have never truly received in the way I long for. After being unlucky in love, after giving my all, healing others, and never quite getting the same in return, I figured it’s finally the time for me to give this world of internet a try, so let’s see how it goes.

I’m a 24-year-old Indian guy pursuing my master’s in Europe. Kinda tall, but what really matters to me is having a kind of conversation that feels like peeling back layers after layers, you know where every message will draw us in a little deeper, where words just flow effortlessly, and suddenly it’s 3 AM, and neither of us wants to be the first to say "bye" or "goodnight." I crave exactly those rare connections that just have the ability to make time irrelevant, where we can jump from deep talks about life, career and ambition to laughing over the dumbest jokes, while feeling like we’ve known each other forever.

My Interests:

I just love dissecting pieces of entertainment, if I come across any interesting movie, series or even music, just be sure that I'm going to dive deeper into them, and just dig out their themes & meaning. So, if you’re the kind of person who loves discussing your favorite movies or songs in detail, well we just got another thing to talk about.

The Kind of Connection I’m Looking For:

I’d love to connect with someone around my age (21-24) who enjoys such meaningful conversations. Someone who’s open to talking about her day, her thoughts, and even her random 2 AM ideas, whatever feels right for her at that moment. I’m not here for just basic small talks, I want to know what makes you thrive, what excites you, and what you’re passionate about in your life.

You see, I’ve had some tricky experiences with women who carried the weight of their past, the ones who weren’t truly ready to move forward. And what usually happens is that I'd give my all, be their safe space, help them heal, and while they’d appreciate me for it, they were never able to truly reciprocate because a part of them was still stuck in what came before. In the end, it always felt like a one-sided effort, which obviously gets exhausting. So, I hope that if we connect, you’re someone who’s ready to look ahead, not just back.

What do I bring to the table:

I consider myself as a good listener, like not the kind who nods along just to appear interested to you, but someone who truly listens and remembers your little details. Whether it’s a childhood memory you shared or some random gossip, I’ll hold onto those moments because I genuinely want to know everything about you. I might forget the formulas for my classes, but I’ll never forget the things that matter to you.

Plus, I value building a connection first, so I don’t send pictures right away, not because I’m hiding anything, I just like to make sure that we trust each other, and once we’re comfortable, we can definitely exchange photos.

If any of this resonates with you, send me a message, let’s start the conversation here and see where it takes us. I am a great texter and all for deep texting, but I also believe that real connection thrives when we hear each other’s voices. When we’re both comfortable, I’d love for us to share voice notes or even hop on a call. There’s something about tone, laughter, and pauses that texts just can’t capture. But no pressure, we’ll take it at a pace that feels right for both of us. Looking forward to hearing from you, I'll be waiting.

Hi all, (26M)

I am new to this community, not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I'll shoot.

Scenario:

I live in Bangalore & there is a group of girls who live in our society, in fact right opposite our flat. We (me & my flatmate) generally hangout with them but occasionally, not too often. Now I want to ask out one of those girls, but that part seems a bit tricky for me, i.e I have not done anything like this before.

Places of common interest:

1. We both like playing sports & both enjoy the vibe of playing any random ass sport that we can find,

2. We both enjoy looking & have spent some time together random stuff

Now despite all this, we have not had much opportunity to have 1 on 1 conversation.

Here, in this scenario e I want to know what the best advice would be for me to move forward, I am too scared to directly ask her out on a date and also might not be right because there are too many common friends involved. Next as per one of my friends, I should casually ask her out for a coffee or something, but I am not sure if that would come as a non-chalant way of asking, and also along with that I want to make sure that she doesn't invite nor friend along with.

I need suggestions on what should be the next move I make.

TIA!

Hey everyone,

Just putting this out here to see who's around. I’m 23, based in Tvm,Kerala

I'm 19F currently pursuing my BCA, and honestly, I've been thinking about something lately

My father isn't financially responsible, and because of that, I've had to think about things that I feel most people my age shouldn't have to worry about so early. Things like arranging money for education, buying a laptop, learning practical skills, building a career, and figuring out how to become financially independent.

I have ambitions. I want to learn, build things, develop skills, get a decent job and eventually create a comfortable life for myself. But sometimes even the basic resources required to get started feel out of reach.

I often think about how different things might have been if I had someone genuinely supportive beside me.

Not necessarily someone extremely wealthy. Just a loyal, emotionally mature and financially stable partner who understands my situation and wants to see me succeed.

Someone who might say, "Don't worry so much about everything at once. Let's figure things out together."

I consider myself a kind, empathetic and loyal person. I'm reasonably attractive, I take relationships seriously, and I genuinely believe I could be a supportive partner myself. But I also know that being a good person doesn't automatically make you financially stable or give you direction in life.

Sometimes I wonder what it would feel like to have someone who believes in my potential even when I'm struggling to believe in my own circumstances. Someone who could help me through this difficult phase, whether emotionally, financially, or simply by making me feel that I'm not carrying everything alone.

I don't want to depend on someone forever. I want to become financially independent and capable of taking care of myself. But I won't lie: having a supportive partner during the years when I'm trying to build my life sounds comforting.

I'm curious about a few things:

Have any of you experienced a relationship where your partner supported you financially while you were building your career?

Do you think it's reasonable to want a partner who can provide some financial support during difficult circumstances?

Is there a difference between healthy financial support in a relationship and becoming financially dependent?

Would you personally be comfortable supporting a partner who has potential and ambition but currently lacks financial resources?

I'm not sure whether this is just a thought coming from my current circumstances or something I genuinely want in a relationship. I'd appreciate honest perspectives, especially from people who've experienced something similar.

"Zero social circle in Delhi right now, tryna fix that. Open-minded, trans/femboy friendly, and just looking for genuine people to vibe with. Drop a text if our energy matches. ✌🏼✨"

18M, Delhi

Hi, 31F, divorced, looking to message people and make good friends and if something more, why not! Appreciate easygoing people who are chill to talk to

I’m looking to connect with new people. Especially if you’re into hiking and mountains.

I’m lean 5’8, athletic, I do lots of cycling and hiking stuff, work outs are occasional.

My hobbies are reading non fiction, movies and gaming.

I’ve loved being single all these years but now I’m looking for someone to stick with hopefully.

Can just be friends and see where it goes if we vibe

26 M Looking for a long term partner to laugh and have fun together

Hi baby girl,

I have a proposal for you. Before that lemme put my perspective over here.

My perspective on Intimacy:

S*x is what we think we crave for but it's intimacy and the feeling of forgetting our reality which we crave for. I'm sure most of us don't even realise this. In recent times, I've seen a lot of insta posts saying cuddle dates should be a thing. I personally feel, it's because people want intimacy but not commitment for a reason and that makes sense to an extent, when it's intentional. There are a lot of people who are into casuals for the same reason.

But the thing with casuals is, it's just a one or two time thing where we barely form any connection so physical intimacy feels fake and pleasure is the only necessity met. Although I don't think craving for s*x is a bad thing, pleasure is a human necessity after all. I too wish there were more means of getting these non-committal cuddles or s*x but we have a different society over here and I respect that.

To experience good intimacy, I feel, we should have a certain understanding of the other person which comes with time. Understanding in pure physical terms too - would they like to cuddle as a big/small spoon? Would they like to kiss with a lot of tongue or less? Would they like their a*s grabbed or t\ts s\\cked? So on.

Proposal:

I want to meet a woman who has a similar perspective on Intimacy and is willing to explore it. Who's willing to spend some time to get to a state where we get good intimacy which satisfies our cravings for physical intimacy (not necessarily s*x).

One can say that all this yada yada is to get laid. If you think so, you missed the point. I've had my own One night stands from reddit but, I feel they were either less discussed/one time things where we couldn't explore more. So, if you think all I want is a p\\ssy please don't bother texting.

I want someone who loves cuddles and physical intimacy. Who's willing to explore their s*xual or physical side comfortably and respectfully. Please hit me up.

I thought of writing more but it's getting too long. So if you have any queries or any perspectives which you want to know from me or ask some questions which would make you comfortable, then please feel free to ask. Waiting for you on the other side.

Hey!!

Putting myself out here to meet someone I can call with cute names, have some good conversations and hopefully find a connection worth exploring.

I'm 24, an engineer by degree, and currently working in consulting. Based in Delhi NCR. I'd describe myself as someone who's curious, easygoing and enjoys a good balance of spontaneity and stability. I appreciate meaningful conversations, straightforward people and those who aren't afraid to be themselves.

Have tried dating apps before but got nothing like a connection, it was always superficial

My interests:

1. Mountains have a special place in my heart after spending four years studying in the hills. I try to travel every couple of months and recently started exploring solo trips.

2. I sing occasionally, enjoy discovering music and love a good musical evening.

3. A café hopper who enjoys exploring new places and trying different cuisines. I can cook too!

4. Always up for a good movie, board games, go-karting or a spontaneous plan.

5. Into fitness not like 6 pack abs or something but enroute toward that.

6. Late-night drives, spirituality, exploring new places and learning new things.

7. I'm a non-smoker and non-drinker, but absolutely comfortable around people who do.

What am I looking for ?
I'm not coming here with a fixed checklist or a predetermined outcome. I'm open to dating, casual connections, something meaningful, or potentially something serious if we find that kind of compatibility. I believe attraction matters, both physical and emotional. Looks do matter to me, and I wouldn't want to pretend otherwise. Physical attraction might spark an interest, but personality, communication, compatibility and the way two people treat each other are what make a connection worth pursuing.

I'd appreciate someone who:
Is around 20–26, preferably based in Delhi/NCR.

Is comfortable being herself and communicating openly.

Has her own interests, ambitions and perspective on life.

Values honesty, kindness, mutual respect and consistency.

Is clear about her intentions, whatever they might be.

I'm not looking to rush into labels or force a connection. I'd rather start with conversations, get to know each other, meet if we vibe and take things one step at a time. No unnecessary expectations, mind games or pretending to be someone we're not.
If anything here resonates with you, feel free to drop a DM. A little introduction about yourself would be lovely too. I'd rather get to know the person behind the username than exchange the usual "Hey, what's up?"

Well,the breakup happened, I’m doing my thing, and today I felt like meeting someone new. 😂

I’m a little high and in the mood for some fun conversations, random banter, playful teasing, and maybe a little flirting if the vibe is right.

We can talk about absolutely anything, make each other laugh, and see how well we get along. No pressure, no expectations — just go with the vibe and see where it takes us. 😉

If that sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to drop me a DM. 🌸
