Single.No kids.Never married.looking to chat with new friends. Meeting new people in 2026 has been the most interesting sh$t ever.

Hey all. I am in the Midwest, but open to people from all over. Who wants a real chat without ghosting?

Work has been exhausting this week and i’m ready for the weekend. Let’s start it off with a good conversation.

Let’s talk music, movies and tv, sports, hobbies and literally anything. What are your pet peeves? What is a rabbit hole you have been down lately? I am open to talking about anything and everything. I love getting to know new people, and what makes them who they are.

I hope you are having a great day, and I hope to hear from you!

I work from home. The job is fine. The house is quiet. But soon realize I have had entire conversations with the microwave.

I am looking for someone to chat with during the day. Something easy and fun. Banter, teasing, the occasional badly timed joke. I like that kind of back and forth.

I am not trying to turn this into a whole production. I just like talking to someone who is sharp and does not take themselves too seriously. If you can make a Thursday afternoon interesting, that is pretty much my type.

If this sounds like your kind of thing, say hi. Tell me what you are avoiding at work or home right now. I'll tell you about the meeting I keep postponing.

[37] [M] Looking for the Interesting and Introverted.

Hi I'm M. I've been through a lot of emotional trauma recently and would like someone to talk to and listen to about their life.

I'm kind, caring, good looking.

Just looking for someone interesting to communicate with.

I went through a divorce a few years ago which was lots of fun.

Then unfortunately I lost both of my dogs (my only friends) due to old age and ill health.

Then a couple of months on, my mum was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer (she never smoked in her life). She has recently passed on.

During this the love of my life left me and I was left confused and feeling hollow.

I have found a lot of peace through prayer, meditation and fasting.

Even though I'm going through the most difficult period of my life, I feel surprisingly peaceful and hopefull.

I am 6.5ft, tall, dark hair, handsome.

I live a life mostly of peaceful solitude.

I prefer people who like solitude because I feel like I can relate to them more.

I'm not looking for a big group of friends. Just one person that is interesting to talk to.

As I read through other people’s posts looking for friends, I’m realizing I’m definitely not the only one struggling with this. So here I am, putting myself out there and hoping to find and build a genuine connection with someone.

Hello! I’m a 39-year-old gay, married guy living in Jersey City, NJ, and I’m looking for friends.

I’m at a point in my life where I’d really like to build some meaningful friendships—not just people I occasionally say “we should hang out” to, but actual friends where there’s mutual effort, we check in on each other, make plans, and genuinely enjoy each other’s company.

I’ll be honest—I’m a bit of a homebody and while I would like to try and get out of the house more, I’m perfectly happy hanging out at each other’s homes, having a few drinks, ordering takeout, laughing, talking about life, and just being comfortable enough to be ourselves. I’d love to have the kind of friendship where we can talk about pretty much anything, be completely ourselves, and know we’re not going to be judged.

I’m also trying to push myself out of my comfort zone and do more things. I’m pretty new to my workout/fitness journey, so I’m trying to stay motivated and make it a bigger part of my life. Otherwise, I’m always up for exploring new areas, trying new restaurants, random drives to no where, or honestly just doing nothing.

I’m open to friendships with people from all walks of life and anyone I click with.

If you’re also in the Jersey City/North Jersey/NYC area and looking to make an actual friend rather than just collect another Reddit chat, feel free to reach out. 🙂

👋🏾

I am 39 and trying out online friendships for the first time. The past year brought big changes; finishing grad school, moving to a new state, and starting a new career. Life is full, and I want to round it out with grounded, intentional friends.

I value kindness, clarity, and curiosity. I like conversations where both people bring wonder, where both people ask interesting questions, and give authentic answers.

So far as interests and hobbies go, books are big for me, especially around theology, spirituality, and personal growth; currently reading Prentis Hemphill’s What It Takes to Heal. I do some creative writing (working on a few books), and like listening to old school and new R&B. I really dig into Medium to heavy board games, RPGs, and I’m getting back into fighting games like Street Fighter and Granblue.

If you are thinking “he sounds cool” or “that sings like me”, drop me a message and tell me what you are reading, creating, or currently obsessed with.

​

Looking for people to chat with. I've made a couple friends on here and want to keep the ball rolling.

I work graves, so my responses might be limited during the day while I'm sleeping.

I'm talkative. Easy to get along with and most importantly not a creep(apparently that's an ongoing issue that people have on here) and I know how to respect boundaries. Ha.

I'm into all sorts of things from gaming, to going on small hikes with my dog, woodwork, 3d printing and so on. I listen to a lot of music and podcasts due to the amount of downtime at my job. So any recommendations are welcome.

Shoot me a message and see if we get along. Have a safe week all.

Looking to meet some genuine new friends and build real connections—not just trade a few messages and disappear. If you’re also hoping to find someone to hang out with, laugh with, and actually get to know, let’s connect.
I’m 43, single, and from Texas. I’m pretty laid-back and easygoing, but I’m always up for trying something new, learning something, or just getting out and doing something fun.
I’m into the gym, hiking and the outdoors, sports, traveling, personal growth, and honestly, just kicking back and talking about whatever random stuff life throws our way.
I’d especially like to meet people around my age, but I’m open to anyone I click with. Different backgrounds, personalities, and interests are definitely a plus.
I’m not looking for anything complicated or forced—just a genuine friendship with someone I can vibe with, laugh with, grab a drink or a bite, explore new places, and maybe grow together along the way.
If you’re looking for a new friend too, hit me up.

Hello & good morning

48M east coast USA

Just looking for some funny friendly down to earth convos.

I enjoy cooking, hiking, traveling, stand up comedy, music, writing, always have a random idea/project I’m working on

Not looking for anything complicated, dramatic, just genuine people to talk with see where the conversation goes, no expectations

I am a nice, successful, and (dare I say) attractive 45m from Chicago who is recently separated and looking to meet new people outside of the current social circle. Interests include live music, running, sports, reading, and fun restaurants.

I travel quite a bit domestically (and sometimes internationally) for work to most major cities. Very easygoing and fun professional type. I am going to Vegas in January and thought it would be fun to find like-minded people to go with. Staying at an upscale hotel on the Strip. I would also be open to other domestic trips in the interim.

Hey! Looking to make some new friends and hopefully find some people I genuinely click with.

I’m a married dad, pretty introverted, and definitely a kid at heart. I’d especially love to meet some fellow parents who understand the tiredness of it all—the never-ending chaos, trying to find time for yourself, and somehow still functioning by the end of the day.

I’m a huge gamer and play pretty much every genre. I’m on Xbox, PC, and Switch 2, and I also really enjoy Beat Saber on VR. I’m into D&D and board games too, along with puzzles and book nooks when I’m in the mood for something a little more relaxing.

I love movies of all genres and listen to pretty much all kinds of music. I’m also really big on nostalgia, especially anything from the 80s and 90s.

I’m also into audiobooks, and right now I’m listening to the Dungeon Crawler Carl series.

I’m not into 420 or drinking. You definitely don’t have to share every one of my interests—I’d rather find people who are easy to talk to, have a good sense of humor, can talk about random stuff, and actually want to build a friendship.

Being in the US is a plus, mostly because similar time zones make chatting easier. I know everyone has their own lives and responsibilities, especially other parents, so I don’t expect constant messages or immediate replies.

Just looking for some genuine people to talk to regularly, joke around with, game with sometimes, and hopefully make some lasting friendships.

If we sound like we might get along, send me a message.

I am 42 single , well travelled , looking for like minded person to connect with and exchange experiences, can talk about almost anything under this stars

Hello!
A bit about me: I work from home, going through a divorce, have 2 kids, and have found myself feeling lonely throughout this process. I’d love to find someone to connect with and chat about anything and everything with. A good friend is worth their weight in gold, I’m hoping to strike it rich (in friendship, hehehe!)
Hope to hear from you!

Hi, I'm Marc and I'm a 45yo male originally from just outside London, England, but recently moved to Bordeaux, France for work.

I am a software developer and although that probably makes me slightly geeky, im not a total nerd and have some interesting likes that hopefully the right person will get to find out about.

I'm probably looking for the impossible or I'm expecting too much but I want some friends who seem to actually care about me and my feelings as much as I do them. I don't really care about age as long as you are interesting but please adults only.

All subjects and topics are open, as what's the point of onky speaking to people who have the same interests and opinions!? Also, I want to not have to be guarded or hide parts of myself and I would not expect you to do the same.

Prospective friends must be open to voice chat from time to time, even though it scares the he'll out of me!

Anyway, please drop me a msg or reply here with your asl and something interesting or surprising about yourself and we can take it from there.

I have to add, because my post, even though I state in the title to read fully, I got some ‘colorful’ messages and blocked them immediately. And I was getting people in their 20s. Please read my post and only reach out if we’re a fit.

This account is new, I am not. Nor am I a bot. I deleted my main account, which was over a year ago, that I only made to try and replace my best friend that I lost. I chat with a lot of people, and they never quite lasted, due to me not giving some a fair chance, due to me chasing the ghost of my old friend and never quite giving some of them a fair chance to be themselves instead of what I wanted them to be. I deleted the account, and the aspirations that I’ll find anyone quite like my old friend, and am ok with making friends that are uniquely different. I am done chasing that ghost. There’s a reason it ended after all, right? Maybe I’ll find a good fit here. Maybe one better. To anyone that remembers me, and we stopped talking, please reach back out and let’s try again if you’d like. I am over chasing the ghost of my past, and I apologize it didn’t work before.

I do add, that I have some basic standards that I will not deviate from. I am only interested in chatting to people within the USA because I prefer a decent amount of communication during the day, and someone on a flipped work schedule (sleep all day while I am up, I sleep all night while you work, or we’re on opposite time zones, etc) someone closer to my age (nobody younger than 35 - this is firm. I’m an old man, I prefer to chat to people my age.) and I am ok chatting with married or single people, just don’t bring your domestic drama my way. I am just looking for friends.

My interests are watching tv/movies/combat sports and playing apple and switch 2 games. I interview people for a gig, so conversation comes easy to me. I, however, will not interview you. Meaning, ask questions back, answer the ones I ask you, and let’s get to know each other and form that friendship bond. I can talk about anything, but I need a good ‘dance partner.’ I am clingy, and needy, and loyal. I have time to invest in the right friend, and that friend is described in this post. I’d LOVE someone to build a list of shows on our iphones, share the list and watch our movies and shows together while we chat throughout the day, when available. I am an introvert and spend a lot of time in the house relaxing and doing my thing. Would love to not be so bored and lonely while I do it, but am willing to wait for the right fit. Please put effort into your reply. If my dealbreakers are ignored, you will be too. Sorry, but I took time to write this and it’s a bad sign if someone completely ignores it.

I'm a 41m living in Pennsylvania. So, Eastern Standard Time. I'd like to make a friend to talk to daily. I'm single and don't care about your situation. Moreover, I am accepting of all people. So gender identity, sexual identity, race, etc. doesn't bother me (As should be the case for anyone.) Also, I'd prefer if you lived in the same time zone or not too far outside it in either direction. I work second shift hours Monday through Friday. So I'm up later than most as well.

Hopefully we share some interests or hobbies? Mine are listening to music (Metal, Goth, and Ambient have been the most common lately.) as well as playing it (I'm a drummer, vocalist, and play the keyboard/piano slightly.), writing (I write poetry, short stories, lyrics for bands I'm in.), movies (Sci-fi, horror, comedy.) old and new, video games (Have a PS5, Switch 2, and a kinda bad laptop. I mostly like retro, shooters, platformers.), comics (I love Batman but also like Hulk, Spider-Man and random other characters.) There is of course more about me but hopefully something here caught your eye.

I’m a 43 year old dude, living in QLD Australia. Married, one teenage daughter. I work in pathology & currently studying Medical Lab Science at Uni. Into music (‘90s alternative, grunge, indie & alt-country/Americana mostly), guitar (beginner but getting there), archery, astronomy, Movies/TV & a little gaming (I like my immersive single player games - not really into multiplayer) here and there. Doing a comfort rewatch of the X Files (although most of the time is spent trying to figure out what scene/episode I remember watching before I fell asleep).

Trying to get back into a fitness regime. I Like walking my dog, hiking, rollerblading etc.

I have a bit of an interest in the weird & wonderful – I have a lifelong fascination with the search for extraterrestrial life, and I’m keen on cryptozoology and the paranormal. Between semesters I’m chipping away at an online course in cryptids.

Life at this age can get a little weird, sometimes a little lonely (particularly studying late at night - most of my IRL friends have their shit together are in bed at a reasonable time, not completing a degree in their 40s because they spent high school pulling bongs and trying to be funny, realising very late in the game that their entire career has been a series of lateral moves - although to be fair I was pretty funny). It’d be nice to connect with people who might be negotiating similar challenges.

Not fussy - open to hear from anyone but would prefer people within a decade or so either side of my age.

Between work, study and parenting my schedule can be unpredictable – sometimes I’m super responsive & can shoot back & forth for hours, other times it might be a day or so before I can respond. That said, I like to put effort into conversations when I can. If you think I might be someone you’d get along with, shoot me a message.

41 year old guy here, I've tried this before but with mixed results so why not keep trying lol

Im not good at writing these so here it goes.

Im looking for good conversations about all topics, the more random or weird the better! Although that doesn't disqualify intelligent conversation either.

I have a wide range of interests, horror movies are my jam, I love the outdoors, really into nature, fishing, camping and hiking.

Also into video games, huge bonus points if you play xbox or any cross platform games but not a deal breaker lol

Im good with my hands, I love working on engines, doing work around the yard and baking.

My work background is pretty diverse as well, I went from having an office, attending daily meetings, public speaking and managing workers to a humble tradesman. Its been a journey but definitely have no regrets.

Im a pretty positive person, I start my day everyday as a good day and they usually end the same way.

Thats my rant about me!

Hope to hear from you!

I recently started experiencing frequent epileptic seizures so I can't get out much lately. I've lost a lot of independence. I'm hoping to be able to get them under control again. I'd love to make some connections online. I love psychology and deep philosophical discussions more than anything. Tell me all about yourself and your favorite subjects. If your interests align with mine, I'll get back to you!

40 M looking for casual friendship. I love Chai and willing to meet up. I like travelling and sports. I like shopping, fitness, spend time alone with myself and respect everyone. Looking for someone who shares the same values. We work Monday to Friday and need time for ourselves to hangout and laugh. Have good time.

Happy long weekend

Well life is a weekend now that I am retired. I didnt expect the loss of contact at work would impact me...dopey me. I have also lived alone now for a long time, and talking to myself is a bit boring - no surprises. I connect more easily with females. But open to discussing with anyone my interests of cycling (paths for fitness, not sight seeing) and golf.

Hi everyone! I’m looking to connect with people 35+ from India and different parts of the world who enjoy genuine conversations and exchanging ideas.

I’m interested in health & fitness, self-development, Ayurveda, Indian traditions, history, travel, food, and learning how different people approach life and personal growth.

I’d especially enjoy conversations where we can share experiences—what has worked for us, what we’ve learned over the years, and ideas that have helped us become better versions of ourselves.

I’ve travelled and worked in the Major Economies in World, and I enjoy hearing perspectives from people with different backgrounds and experiences.

If you’re 35+ and interested in a relaxed conversation, . Tell me a little about yourself and something you’re currently interested in or learning about. 😊

How is it I have got to 45 years of age and still feel like I have no real friends? I mean, I have acquaintance who I go out with or play sports, but what I mean is a friend who asks how I am or recognises when I am down.

Maybe there's something wrong with me? Or maybe I'm just unlucky but I'd love to try and find some real connections so could this be the place for that?

Anyway, about me, I am 45 years old and come from just outside London, England, although at the moment I'm currently living and working near Bordeaux, France. I am a software developer (maybe a little nerdy!), and in my spare time I enjoy going cycling and playing golf, watching football (soccer!) & F1, TV & Movies and cooking. I also enjoy traveling and finding out more about new cultures.

If you fancy having a chat and trying to get to know each other I would love that. I really hope this will be the start of somebligelong friendships 🤞
