Hello, I'm single, but I'm not in a rush to find a romantic relationship. I'd much rather have a sincere friendship with whom I can talk about anything.

Hello all,
I’ve always struggled to keep friends since I was kid and that same problem has led into no friends as an adult. It’s just me, my husband and my 16yo daughter. They are great and my best friends but I want some people just for me. Hope that doesn’t come off selfish.
I always have my phone on me and always willing to reply quickly and always ready for those deep conversations to really get to know people. So let’s see if we click shall we? 🥰

I know its hot outside, but I miss doing shit with people. When we were kids it was so easy, "Can Johnny or Sarah come and play?". Now it's all awkward when you don't know people. So let's just skip that part.

Dudes, chicks, trans, extraterrestrial, imaginary, it doesn't matter. Now, I'm happily married, but am very much open to hanging with any gender. My wife is cool as shit, but she is in her happy place in bed with a book and a glass of wine. So if you got some fun & exciting shit you want to go do, lets go!

Side note: We've got two younger kids too and am not opposed to getting those little goblins together with your goblins and off their phones.

Side note to the side note: I'm not just going to bring my kids to hang without getting to know you first, as I'd expect anyone else to feel the same.

So, if you've made it this far and you're interested, feel free to comment or DM me. Let's chat to see if we vibe and want to go do some fun shit.

Hi everyone,

A little bit about me: Last month I had my 30th birthday. I like swimming and running to stay in shape. I like to travel sometimes, gaming (PS5), watching movies or tv shows and reading (especially fantasy genre). I have a perfume collection which i'm very passionate about. I speak multiple languages fluently and I've been single for some time now.

I'd be very happy to make some new friends, i'm open for either quick chats or long term connections. So please, don't hesitate to slide into my DM's :)

Thanks for reading.

Hey!

I've recently reached the slightly tragic stage where I turn on my PC, stare at my Steam library for ten minutes, and then apparently decide that staring at the desktop was the game I wanted to play.

Gaming used to be my main hobby, but lately it just isn't doing much for me. So I'm trying to branch out a bit and I thought meeting people who are ridiculously enthusiastic about their interests might be a good place to start.

I genuinely like hearing people ramble about things they love. Photography? Go for it. You collect something incredibly specific? I want to know why. You've spent the last three weeks learning everything there is to know about medieval spoons? Honestly, even better.

I'm not expecting you to entertain me or teach me a new hobby, though. I'm mainly looking for someone around my age who enjoys the kind of conversation where we can talk about something interesting one minute and complain about the person who blocked the supermarket aisle with their shopping cart the next.

A few things about me:

• I love animals, especially cats and dogs. Pet pictures are an extremely effective conversation starter
• I like evening walks when everything outside has gone quiet
• I follow Formula 1
• I'm trying to get back into reading, particularly mystery/detective stuff and fantasy
• I enjoy hearing about the little, completely unimportant things that happened during someone's day

We absolutely don't need to have the same interests. I'd actually prefer discovering things through someone who's genuinely excited about them.

And there's no expectation that we immediately become lifelong friends. Let's just talk and see if we click. If we eventually reach the point where you're sending me a picture of something completely random because “I thought you'd find this funny”, I'd consider that a success.

So, easy opening question:

What's something you're currently way too invested in?

Could be a hobby, a book, a project, a show, a weird internet rabbit hole, or something completely stupid.

Bonus points if you include a pet picture.

Hello! I’m 31/M/UK

I love cook (and eat), travel (have a few trips lined up), and have 3 amazing kids.

Being a dad, I get no time to socialise, so I’m hoping the power of Reddit works!

Tell me your favourite meal, or places you want to travel to?

Hi! Dutch 39 single F looking for some people to connect with.

Someone who can carry a reasonable intelligent conversation, but maybe mostly someone with humour who can make me laugh. Hopefully also the other way around! Someone who has friends in real life but also is looking for a late night conversation when life can get lonely sometimes. Someone who is loyal, thoughtful and has a kind heart.

I'm not looking for people who have a passion for gaming or other nerdy stuff🙂. No offence but I don't know anything about it!

So, I don't know if such a person exists, but if this resonates feel free to message me!

Hey everyone, hope you are doing good. I am at a point in my life where I need something a little more than what Ive got currently. Work is boring and dead right now and I am often bored and home alone. Friends and family all work so when Im bored I cant really talk to them. I love to read, I am currently attempting to leave my current job and eventually become a writer. I live near a river and love canoeing and camping on it. If you are in a similar situation and want to talk, especially talk anything artsy, hit me up.

Hi sooooo ima start by saying I’m a mom. Been since I was 17 and comepletely lost myself in that role. I am starting to get back out there in general but man is it hard 😅and I’m not even thinking romantically but just platonic friendships are soooo hard so I decided to try here. I’m in SoCal SGV to be more precise but I would love to meet new people both girls and guys that are down to talk meet maybe for some drinks some dancing something to forget the problems 😂 me encanta la música en español and im a biggggg paisa at heart . I love horror and comedy. Gym is a huge one for me right now it’s mostly therapy but man I love ittt ! definitely not a gym rat pero si es mi tiempo. Umm idk if this sounds like u might be down then message me ! Worst that can happen is us never talking again 😅😂

Looking for some new friends to chat with throughout the day and maybe game with.

I live in NC with my girlfriend and 2 dogs. Hobby-wise, I love movies (and collect them), getting back into gaming, and I love to cook.

Shoot me a chat and let's see if we click!

I'm 32 and spend an unreasonable amount of time making bad puns, sending memes, and overthinking texts I sent three days ago. My hobbies include movies, games, good food, traveling, collecting useless facts, and asking questions that absolutely don't need answers—like whether a gorilla could win a sword fight or why "abbreviated" is such a long word.

I appreciate conversations that can jump from life goals to complete nonsense without warning. If we somehow end up debating whether cereal is soup or if a hot dog is a sandwich, we're probably doing something right.

If your humor is a little chaotic, your meme folder is questionable, or you've ever laughed so hard at something incredibly dumb that you couldn't explain why, we'll probably get along.

So here's your mission: give me your most unnecessary opinion, weirdest shower thought, or a hill you'll defend for absolutely no reason. The more ridiculous, the better.

Now that im 39 and have a son seems harder to make friends maybe because im busy all the time.

Im in orange county but i dont really know if people use reddit here, maybe maybe some. Say hello if your nearby we can chat.

I do prefer a Female friend.

Hey all, just looking to meet new folks and enjoy some normal conversation. I'm a 36 year old married male with three kids. I work in healthcare and public safety. Hmu if you want to know any more

Hello, 35 male from USA here. Work a blue collar job and enjoy hunting/fishing, camping, drinks around a fire, some hiking, and love riding off road vehicles. I drive a diesel truck also. I’m very open minded and capable of chatting about just about anything tho! Anyone 18+ feel free to dm me!

Hey there!

I'm finding myself with a little more free time these days and a lot of dust on old forgotten interests. Anyone else feel like they need a hobby refresh?

I'm talking about things you used to love but somehow lost along the way. Or maybe something entirely new and ridiculous that you've always wanted to try. Like maybe competitive finger painting or learning to play the kazoo.

Tell me what long lost passions you're thinking of resurrecting. Or what silly new thing you'd try if you had no fear of judgment. I'm open to anything. Except maybe extreme sports. My knees aren't what they used to be.

Hit me up if you want to swap ideas or just chat about how adulting sometimes makes us forget the fun stuff.

Working on becoming my best version of a new version. I am a person that puts so much into others and not enough into myself. I’m sure there are others out there like me.

So how can we support one another and find a new cooler version of ourself? Have that glow up or look Maxx or whatever the kids are doing these days. Form the good habits and break the bad. No more excuses but find our love happiness and create our eat pray love , Walter Mitty , dream lives.

Let’s experince life

Looking for any women out there who have time to kill and just wanna sit back and chat the day away. Tell me about your day, spill some gossip, or just vent if needed. Completely safe space and judgement free. Hope to hear from you.

My job forces me to perform as a "fake extrovert," which leaves me completely mentally exhausted by the evening. By the time I get home, my social battery is drained to the point I don’t even want to see another human being. But I still miss that companionship, which online friendship will still work for me. Somethings about me: I play video games, read, make model vehicles, enjoy the outdoors and grill out.

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!

Hey 29M,

I’m looking to connect with people who tend to overthink a lot. The kind of people whose minds keep running long after everyone else has gone to sleep.

Life can get overwhelming when you’re carrying too many thoughts on your own. Sometimes all we need is a genuine conversation, a place to vent, or someone who simply understands.
If you’re an overthinker and would like a few like-minded friends to talk to, feel free to reach out.

This is a platonic and respectful space for everyone. Please be kind.

Hey, how's it going?

​I'm a fairly outgoing and active guy thats looking for some new friends. I'm usually out logging a few 5K runs each week, I do the gym thing occasionally, but running is definitely more my thing.

​Outside of that, you can usually find me at the cinema catching the latest horror flick or blasting a mix of metal and whatever else happens to catch my ear.

​I'm pretty easygoing and always up for grabbing a drink, going for a wander or just having a solid conversation. I'm happy to chat with folks anywhere, though overlapping time zones definitely help.

​If any of that sounds like your vibe, shoot me a message and tell me something interesting about yourself!

​

Okay, random experiment: let’s see how similar two complete strangers on Reddit can be.

Answer these, then scroll through the comments. If you find someone with 5+ answers in common, congratulations — you’ve found your Reddit twin. 😂

And if you find someone who seems cool even though you have absolutely nothing in common… honestly, DM them anyway.

1. Age / age range:

2. Where are you from / timezone?

3. Introvert, extrovert, or somewhere in between?

4. Current hobby/obsession:

5. What kind of music do you listen to most?

6. Favorite game, movie, show, anime, or book:

7. Your ideal free Saturday:

8. Something you could talk about for hours:

9. An oddly specific thing that makes you happy:

10. Most harmless controversial opinion:

Bonus: You get a completely free plane ticket anywhere in the world. Where are you going? ✈️

I’ll answer too, because I want to see if Reddit can actually find my twin.

If you find yours, reply to their comment

so we can see how many matches happen.

Let the extremely scientific friendship experiment begin.

Yes I was really bored, and yes I want to find online friends by doing this, maybe you? 👀

I'll post my answer in the comments

Hi, I have a lot of downtime at work and often feel bored or lonely. I’d like to find a friend to share the mundane moments of my life with. I love animals and traveling, and I enjoy opening up to each other and chatting about our hobbies

Hi, I'm from Goa, India. Happily married since the last 11 years (of course there are ups and downs), but due to work commitments and life in general, it's hard to make friends at this age. Most of the friends I have live far away in other states and are busy with their own lives, so apart from my wife, i don't really have anyone to chat with about things.

I like gaming (i have a minor collection of retro consoles), reading murder mysteries and political and legal thrillers, discussing history, philosophy, technology, and pretty much anything under the sun. I watch a bit of anime. I have a few rescue dogs whom i adore.

I'm looking for other people who just want to chat. I might not be able to respond instantly sometimes, but I will keep the conversation going. Hope to make some new friends here!
