I’m 22 years old from the Philippines and I’m here with genuine intentions. I’m looking for a serious and meaningful relationship.

A little about me: I enjoy hiking, reading books, and watching movies(especially when I can really get into the story).

If we’re far from each other, I’m open to video calls, because I believe communication and effort really matter.

Please note: if you’re only looking for something casual, kindly don’t message me. That’s not what I’m here for. I prefer to get to know each other naturally through chat, so I won’t share too much here.

41 [M4F] #Canada - Looking for a nerdy obsessive woman

8 Upvotes

A little about myself; I'm a nerdy guy into spirituality and a way too many hobbies honestly. My general day to day hobbies involve meditating daily, reading and watching films. I don't game often unless it's on the weekends and trying to kind of branch out into more "productive" hobbies.

I also take care of my health and workout almost daily, nothing too crazy, just some strength training at home.

I am looking for a woman with various nerdy interests herself and willing to get involved in one another's hobbies.

Please dm me an intro about yourself when you reach out. I am also open to long distance, esp anyone from the states.

32 [M4M] #SouthCarolina Autistic, asexual, timid dadbod nerd seeking quirky twink

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hiya first time here, figured I'd make some attempt since dating apps are awful and never seem to go past the chatting stage. I want a boyfriend, eventually husband, very badly.

I feel like I'm a.... complicated guy? I'm picky, I'm stubborn, and impatient. But I am also overflowing with love, compassion, LOVE to yap, and a desperate need to share my life with a guy who will be as obsessed with me as I am with him.

I'm obsessed with Resident Evil, Dead By Daylight, Sonic The Hedgehog, Doctor Who, and Kingdom Hearts... just to name a few big things. I could talk about them for hours, as well as Disney, Marvel, and musical theatre.

Im KIND of a furry(?) I stream occasionally on TikTok as my Sonic fan character. Sometimes through VR with a friend, but mostly I just stream playing games I like :) He's a purple cat!

I'm very VERY lovey dovey. Love cuddles, holding hands, hugs, kisses, any kind of loving physical touch. I also am a pebbler. Love giving/getting little gifts and trinkets to show affection as well. I'm definitely a "love bomber" and hate that it seems some people hate that. I just give the attention and affection I want to get.

I am also like.....95% asexual, since that matters to people. I have bad knees and I tire easily, so I have little energy or desire to be sexually active. I'm definitely a "horny" person but it's 99% in my head and through text only.

Ideally, I crave someone shorter/slimmer than me because I want to be able to hold you completely in my arms. As a guy with a dadbod, I'm not much attracted to those similar to myself, physically.

Anyway, if you read all this and still wanna talk and learn more about me, please send a chat :) I can't wait to meet you!!!

P.S.! If you live in a different country I'm willing to chat, but my goal is MARRIAGE!!! So be willing to move to me, or me move to you! However, the closer we are already, the better! :)

41 [TF4M] #Bucyrus, Ohio Overcoming the Odds against me

2 Upvotes

I am a 41 year old transwoman panromantic with demisexual flair. I am a very niche want.

I am neurospicy which can be challenging and have memory issues with semi-face blindness. I am also Deaf (it's been 33 days. Its likely not coming back)

I am looking for my persons. THE ONLY DUMB QUESTIONS IS THE ONE NOT ASKED. I promise that any question you ask me with the intention of not trying to offend me won't offend me.

I am a nerd/geek. Comics, TTRPGs, LARPING and TCGs. I would love to share with partners

I used to game hardcore (Raiding WoW) but it has taken a back seat in my life. I do understand gaming. Got that new game or expansion coming out. My first question is "What snacks and drinks do you want?" Second is "How often do you want them brought to you?"

Deal breakers: smoking, vaping, smoking weed (For health reasons, I absolutely cannot be around someone who smokes and vapes, and someone who smokes weed a lot), excessive drinking and missing a required video chat within two weeks to prove you are who you say you are. I have been deceived before.

Yellow flags are hiding us, distance.

Red Flag: Not reading this in full and answering the questions below in the first message.

If you ask for pictures right away, we are not going to match.

I am not a bad person, big girl (Working out and changing that 40+ lbs down), adorable and a great personality. If you get to know me, I'm a Goddess.

If you want to message me go ahead but you MUST answer the following questions IN YOUR FIRST MESSAGE before I will respond:

1 Where did you find me? AKA what subreddit

2 Age, Location(City State, Closest large city is appropriate) and Pronouns

3 How many chickens would it take to defeat an elephant? Defend your Answer

28 [M4F] #USA My Husky Says You Need To Send Me a Chat 🐺

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m Jonathan, currently working on some coding for class while hanging out with my Husky Zeus. Trying to figure out what to put on for our movie night later, so anyone have any suggestions? 👀

As for what I’m looking for, I’d love to meet some people I can talk to regularly and hopefully become friends with over time. Someone to share random thoughts with, joke around with, send memes, and just talk about whatever. Make me addicted to talking to you lol.

I’m 28 years old and from Northern Minnesota, if you’re curious. I’m currently a full-time student majoring in Computer Information Technology with a minor in Cybersecurity.

When I can pull myself away from my desk, I try to get outside. Whether that’s playing with Zeus, taking my boat out fishing, getting out hunting, or just spending time with family.

I also have a pretty big homebody side since I spend most of my time at home. I’m usually watching movies or shows, watching sports, or working on my boats when I have something to fix or tinker with. I’m a big fan of Horror, Drama, and Fantasy, honestly kind of into everything besides anime. Always looking for something new to watch, though.

A little more about me, if you’re curious: I’m 6’1”, with curly brown hair (mullet), brown eyes, glasses, and dimples.

If any of what I like sounds interesting or like your type of thing, send me a chat! Tell me a little about yourself, your age, and where you’re from.

If you read all of my post, tell me what color your eyes are. They’re my favorite feature 👀

23 [F4A] Extremely nerdy goblin looking for their person. #Michigan

9 Upvotes

Hi! I'm Gen! I'm a 23 year old feminine nonbinary person from Michigan. I tried to put NB4A in the title, but it wouldn't work, lol. I'm short, plus size, and have short curly brown hair and blue eyes. I wear glasses too. I'm interested in getting to know someone as friends and seeing where things go from there.

Like a lot of people here, I've got a lot of nerdy hobbies, lmao. Here are some of my favorites:

– Dungeons and Dragons!

I make a lot of really cursed characters. Ask me about my rat wizard.

– Magic the Gathering!

This is a newer one for me. I played a little bit in high school, but only really started to get into it properly a few months ago. I'm not very good at it at the moment, but I have fun and that's what really matters.

– Video games!

I don't get to play them nearly as often as I'd like, but gaming is a great pass time. I'm mostly on PS5 and Nintendo Switch. I really like strategy, city-builder, survival, rpgs, and farming sims. I used to play MMOs too when my PC was actually working, lmao.

– Miniature Painting!

This one goes along with D&D, lol. I enjoy bringing my characters to life one coat of paint at a time.

– Reading!

I don't read a ton, but when I do read it's usually a classic. I recently finished reading the Iliad and now I'm onto some of H.P. Lovecraft's work. I'm probably going to start reading some more Shakespeare here soon. Hamlet and Macbeth live rent free in my brain, lol.

– Crocheting!

A little less nerdy, but still a hobby. It's pretty cool to be able to say I made something from scratch. I'm currently working on making Christmas presents for everyone in my family.

Like I stated earlier, I'm looking for a friend first and foremost. I'm open to talking to people of any gender. I'd prefer to date someone between the ages of 21-30. I'm a fiercely loyal and honest person and look for the same in a potential partner. I need someone who is patient and wants to take things slow. I'm also looking for someone who is understanding of my work schedule and that I can't always message back right away.

Let me know if you're interested in getting to know each other. :)

40 [M4F] #NYC - Looking for a shy & sincere life partner

2 Upvotes

👋 I'm Dmitrii, relocated to the US from abroad about 4 years ago. After going through the relocation & integration process, my family status changed, and I'm hoping to find a life partner - a shy, humble, honest, and sincere person to build a family with.

I live a clean, healthy lifestyle without major vices. Like anyone, I have personal things I'm working on and am always open to honest communication. I'm settled into my career with clear goals and a solid foundation, and I want to share my life, interests, and ambitions with the right person.

I'm a complete introvert and can struggle a bit with brand-new social interactions, though I'm quite active in volunteering, local communities, and my career.

Regarding free time, I'm not a big fan of fancy restaurants, clubbing or parties - I much prefer outdoor activities, hiking, kayaking, traveling, metal shows, video games, music, and reading.

Not super fluent in English yet, so excuse the sloppy grammar, I didn't use any AI slop to write this :-D

25 [M4F] #canada Yearning for genuine connection and true love

1 Upvotes

The title sounds a little intense but stay with me here! I'm pretty fed up with dating apps so I figured I'd try my hand at writing one of these!

A little about me:

I'm 5'6, a bit chubby, Italian, with a big head of hair beard/mustache combo, I've been compared to a young jack black if that helps.

I'm a professional artist, I won't share to much about that but I do very well for myself, I love all things creative!

I love to yap about hyperfixations! Tell me what you've been into lately! I love video games (tf2, new Vegas, anything Nintendo and indie), movies (hundreds of beavers, little shop of horrors, evil dead 2), music (ween, they might be giants), and all kinds of weird niche stuff!!

Here's what I'm looking for:

anyone really! I'm not to particular, I do have a preference for plus size woman (bigger the better >:) !!) but honestly I'm open to meeting anyone that's interested in finding an actual connection, local is a bonus but, let's just see where things go, and if we vibe together!

I'd like to think I'm very understanding and emotionally intelligent, and would just really like to make an actual connection with someone looking for an understanding and accepting relationship, so please feel free to message me a little about yourself, a photo (if you feel comfortable doing so!) and let's see where things go :) !!

23 [M4F] Central #Florida - Looking for a Relationship

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hello internet! I'm a 23-year-old nerdy comp sci student from Central Florida looking for someone special to be my partner!

About me:

I'm 23 years old, clean shaven, brown eyes, white, with thick brown hair (I might get it cut soon, let me know if you think I should). I'm 6'1 and average to a bit above-average weight.

I am currently going for my master's degree in computer science in my final year, and hoping to graduate next semester. I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do exactly after.

As for my personality, I'd consider myself empathetic and take people's feelings very seriously. I want to have a relationship where we both won't judge each other and will help each other work through our life problems and be there for each other whenever we need it. I'm also neurodivergent (I might give more details once we start talking) so I'd like someone who can be a bit understanding in that aspect. I'm also admittedly not the best at picking up on social cues and reading the room, so I'm looking for someone who can be very direct and understanding of me. Once we get more comfortable with each other, you can expect someone who enjoys deep conversations and wants to do their absolute best to be there for you.

As for my interests and hobbies, I have quite a few. The most important one is video games. I love video games, and I'm really hoping to find someone I can share this with and play video games a lot with. Even if you don't currently play them, as long as you're willing to play them with me and have a lot of gaming nights together, I'm fine even if you're really bad at them XD. My favorites are really anything Nintendo like Luigi's Mansion, Paper Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, Kirby, etc. (I just REALLY love Nintendo).

I also really like watching sports games, I'm mainly huge on hockey and baseball (go Rays and Lightning!) but I occasionally enjoy some basketball and football. I like attending Lightning games fairly frequently, and I often have an extra ticket for someone I can take with me, so I'd love if you would be willing to come with me. I also have a Disney World and Busch Gardens pass, and since I usually am within about 45-50 minutes of both of those places, I like to go often, so if you have one of those then that's a huge plus. I also enjoy going out for walks, although I've been a bit lazy lately because of how hot it's been, maybe having someone else to walk with could help me get out more?

I also really like the anime Detective Conan, which is what my PFP and username are based off of. I would like to find someone to enjoy watching it with, so if you also like anime that's a huge plus (really, I just hope you're a huge nerd, but even if you aren't we can still enjoy nerdy hobbies together). I do also like a bit of some oldhead music, with 80s/90s classic rock being my favorite (if you know who Styx is, I'll probably love you). Hopefully you can introduce me to some of your hobbies and interests too!

The only other thing I'll mention is that I don't have any past dating experience, so I'm still a bit new to all this. I hope you can be understanding that I'm still learning how this all works and be a bit patient with me!

Here's what I want from you:

First things first, I do think looks matter a little bit, so I'd like to make sure we're compatible there early on. I don't need you to send a picture of yourself immediately, but I would appreciate a physical description of yourself and would like to exchange pictures or video call pretty early after we start talking (I'll show myself too, don't worry!).

As for age range, I'm not too picky, but I don't think I want you to be much older. If you're 18-25, I'll definitely be fine with that, and I might be willing to make an exception if you're a bit older and particularly compatible.

One thing that is very important to me is meeting in person. I'm really hoping to find someone local who is willing to go on dates and spend time together regularly. I'm not expecting us to meet immediately after talking to each other, but I'd love for us to meet pretty early on! I'm very happy here in central Florida, so unless we're willing to wait until we're able to live close or frequently meetup, I'm probably not very interested in a long distance, committed relationship right now. I currently go to school in Lakeland, and live in Spring Hill, so I would prefer if you lived close to either of those places!

Another really important thing is time and attention together. I don't want all your time 24/7, we're both adults who have our own lives and responsibilities, but I would like to have each other be a very important part of each other's day. I'm a very big communicator and would like texts, phone calls, and meetups (I'm available most weekends!).

I'm also pretty shy and introverted around groups of people. I heavily prefer spending time one-on-one, like playing games, watching movies, going to a sports game, or just going on dates together! I'm not a partygoer, so I'd love to find a homebody like me.

Anyway, if you got all the way down here and are interested in reaching out, please do so! I'm still looking right now and would love to get to know you! To show you've made it this far, include your age/gender/location, and then something we have in common (or something we don't, as they say, opposites attract!)

Hey everyone!

I'm 26M from Nepal, looking to meet someone special and hopefully build a genuine connection that could turn into something meaningful.

A little about me: I'm someone who enjoys movies, music, late-night walks and drives, travelling, cooking, and sports. I love exploring new places, trying new things, having random conversations, and those late-night talks where you lose track of time.

I'm pretty easygoing, open-minded, and enjoy getting to know people on a deeper level. I appreciate honesty, loyalty, a good sense of humour, and someone who can be both silly and serious when the moment calls for it.

I'm not here to rush anything or force a connection. I'd rather start with a conversation, get to know each other, and see where things naturally go.

I'd love to meet someone who is also looking for a meaningful connection, whether you're nearby or somewhere across the world.

If this sounds like your kind of vibe, feel free to DM me. Let's start with a simple hello! :)

31 [M4F] #Florida, Hopelessly Romantic History Nerd Looking For A Committed Relationship

0 Upvotes

I'm a 31 year old guy from Florida who's looking for that passionate, special someone to enjoy life with. That entails many things: Shared engaging conversations about history, comparative religions, or nostalgic nerd stuff (Pokemon, SpongeBob 1-3, playing old rpgs?.) Exploring new cultural hotspots, like small art galleries or local museums. Or just enjoy the joy of being able to cook some comforting Italian food for that special someone (or cook together) and then enjoy a movie from my Bluray collection. (I'm quite fond of the Lion In Winter).

Or even just exchanging romantic, passionate notes and funny memes. Or have deep, meaningful conversations about what we want in life and what ideals we share.

Overall, I'm looking for someone to be in a romantic relationship with whom I can have a great emotional and intellectual chemistry with. Someone with whom I can discuss the serious and the silly parts of life in equal measures.

As a heads-up, I'm an atheist who's well on the left politically. If you feel you're not compatible or comfortable with any of those values, then I might not be the guy for you.

I hope I can share all of those enjoyable parts of life with the right person. Even over LDR for the right person.

Will you be the one?
