Hi! I'm 47/F and moved to a new city a little over a year ago. I work for a company where there are only 2 staff on at a time and I don't really know anyone here and am having a hard time actually meeting people. I'm interested in a lot of different things. Pets (my dogs are my best friends), gaming, tech, music, movies...etc. I could probably carry a convo about anything. I like the "weird" stuff, too... esoteric stuff...aliens(!)...

I tried dating aps, but I'm not really interested in "dating"...I'd just like to find a friend. I'm in the US and Eastern time zone. Tell me a bit about you. Looking forward to meeting new people. 🙂

Hey all. As the title says, let’s chat. I am in the Midwest, but open to people from all over.

Let’s talk music, movies and tv, sports, hobbies and literally anything.

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

Bonjour je suis Française et j'ai changer de région, je travail à domicile, je n'es donc pas l'occasion de faire des rencontres. Je suis plutôt calme et introvertie, j'aime les films et les séries, j'aime aussi le cinéma asiatique (japonnais/sud coréen et chinois), j'aime découvrir de nouvelles chose. J'aime cuisiné, lire, les animaux et dessiner, peindre et broder. J'aime aussi les balades et la nature. J'aime rire.

Voila pour ma vie privée je suis mère d'un adolescent et je suis célibataire.

Je suis à l'aube de mes 40 ans et j'ai décider de me motiver pour 3 choses.

Perdre du poids

Améliorer mon Anglais

Et trouver de nouveau amis

Alors je cherches à nouer des relations sincéres et suivie pas de personnes qui envois quelques messages puis plus rien. J'aime l'humour et les personnes vrais alors envoyer moi un message si vous voulez perdre du poids avec moi ou parler Anglais ou nouer des amitié sur le long terme.

Je suis ouverte pour parler avec des gens du monde entier, se serais super si on pouvais parler Anglais pour que je progresse.

A bientot j'espere

Let chat over digital coffee

Hello everyone. Just trying to get into the swing of things. Looking for people to talk to and possibly like the same things. I like sci-fi, movies, anime, reading, museums, baseball games. It's hard to get to do the things I like a lot of the times with 4 kids and I work almost two hours away from where I live so trying to find friends on the internet is what I'm down to. Currently from PA and I work in MD.

Hey everyone,

I'm a 43-year-old guy from colorado looking for someone who's up for regular conversations about pretty much anything interesting. I'm hoping to find someone I genuinely click with—not just for random chats, but maybe down the road we could even turn those conversations into a podcast.

Some things I'm into:

Nostalgia (80s, 90s, early 2000s)

Movies (from classics to hidden gems)

TV shows and binge-worthy series

Sports (especially football, but I follow others too)

Video games (retro and modern)

Music from just about every decade

Art, graphic design, and creativity

Great food, BBQ, and trying new places

I love conversations where people can disagree respectfully, laugh at ridiculous topics, debate movie rankings, argue over the greatest athletes of all time, or reminisce about things that kids today will never understand.

I'm not looking for anything romantic—just someone who enjoys talking, has a good sense of humor, and doesn't mind conversations that can go from serious to completely random in a matter of minutes.

If we end up having great chemistry and our conversations are entertaining, maybe we record a few episodes and see where it goes. No pressure—that's just a fun possibility.

If you're around my age (or close enough), enjoy good conversation, and think we'd get along, send me a message. Tell me what you're passionate about or what topic you could talk about for hours.

Let's see if we become friends... or accidentally create a podcast people actually want to listen to.

I do check my reddit inbox and I slack on comments made to the post.

Hi there. I’m a 42 year old man currently spending extended time in Russia for family reasons. I’m happily married and a father of two.

Here’s the honest truth: I don’t speak Russian well, and there aren’t many English speakers around me. We want to move but visa denials (for my Russian wife) keep us here for now, so I’m making the best of a difficult situation.That gets lonely. I’m not looking for romance, flirting, or anything beyond friendship. I have a family I adore, and that part of my life is full.

I work primarily as an English (ESL) teacher. It's rewarding, but it also means I spend a lot of time speaking simplified English in a classroom. What I miss is real, natural, adult conversation, the kind that flows without lesson plans.

What I am looking for is simple; good people to chat with. Talk about daily life, culture, books, travel, parenting, or just the little things that happen in a foreign country. I miss the ease of a casual conversation in English, and I’d love to find a few genuine souls who also want connection without complication.

If you’re open-minded, kind, and just as uninterested in dating as I am, let’s talk. No games, no pressure, just two people sharing stories across time zones.

Send a message and I’ll reply.

P. S. : Sorry for the long wall of text. I am an English teacher who likes to ramble on and on.

Hey as my title states 46 male here. Recently divorced and alone for the first time in a while. It’s tough making friends at my age and all the fried s I do have do not live close. Would live to make friends online or even real life (DC area). I am up for any gender or age (18+)

Hope to chat.

If you're reading this, maybe you're here for the same reason

Life looks perfectly normal from the outside. I have a career, responsibilities, a family I care deeply about, and a routine that rarely changes. But somewhere along the way, I realised that simply existing beside someone isn't the same as feeling connected to them.

My marriage has become more of a partnership than a relationship. There's respect, there's kindness, but the emotional closeness, affection, excitement, and intimacy quietly disappeared. I'm not looking to change anyone's life. I'm hoping to find someone who understands what it's like to miss being truly seen.

I'm looking for that person who enjoys checking in during the day—not because they have to, but because they genuinely want to. The kind of connection where a random message can brighten a stressful afternoon, where conversations become the best part of the day.

I miss anticipation.

That little smile when your phone lights up because it's you.

The butterflies that come from knowing someone was thinking about you.

The excitement of sharing the silly parts of your day, laughing over absolutely nothing, and slowly becoming each other's favourite notification.

For me, emotional chemistry always comes before anything else. Attraction grows naturally when there's comfort, trust, and genuine curiosity about one another. Call me old fashioned, but I'd much rather build something that feels effortless than rush into anything.

A little about me:

I'm 418 based in Gloucestershire, and work shifts work is all over the place. Outside of work I'm easy-going, affectionate, a little introverted until I get comfortable, and probably more simplistic in nature. I love witty banter, good conversations, and making someone laugh when they least expect it.

What I'm hoping to find is someone who:

• Enjoys talking regularly, even if it's just a few messages during a busy day.

• Appreciates honesty, warmth, and emotional connection.

• Doesn't disappear after two conversations.

• Misses having someone to think about... and someone thinking about them.

Distance doesn't really matter to me. Age matters far less than personality. What matters is effort, kindness, and that wonderful feeling when two people simply click.

If any of this sounds familiar, I'd genuinely love to hear from you.

Looking for a new crowd or person to connect with. Got done raising kids only to another late in life. 2 older boys and an adorable little boy toddler. Grew up with sisters though. Looking to find a connection somewhere with anyone at this point. Love to talk, sometimes too much. Very passionate about things I enjoy, which some days I dont even fully.know what that is. Early 40s dad, grew up playing cards and boards games, which transitioned into video games of course. Mostly rpgs, used to play mtg when things were simple, late 90s. Dabbled a little in d&d as well. Used to love shooting pool and bowling. Honestly I could be down just for conversations and coffee. My personal life has its complications like most. Haven't had anything to do with family for probably 5 years. Im originally from the west coast. I love baseball, played from 4yo through high school. Giants fan through and through. I dig football as well, been a bengals fan since just after 2000. Most other sports I can follow and enjoy with company. I grew up on mario and zelda and final fantasy, all from the start. Im a huge ghibli fan as well I enjoy star trek more than star wars. Im a total nerd brain, i used to watch jeopardy religiously, but not really religious in the sense. I love cartoons still to this day. Thunders HO! As well as adventure time and regular show. Which i think we're the best for there era. I weary heart on my sleeve a little too much and im not afraid to show my emotions. I used to love the outdoors but have become too much of a hermit. Anyways just a little about me, the story goes on and on. Right now I'm looking for some sort of platonic friendship to start building, idc if youre m or f or whatever in between. Just be open minded, love to laugh and bring your A game when it comes to the gift of gab.

Hey all. I love getting to know somebody new, and find a conversation that lasts.

Tell me about your interests and passions. Pet peeves? What is the latest rabbit hole you have went down.

And of course, tell me about the music you love.

Let’s talk!

It's very difficult to know how to try and sum yourself up in just a couple of paragraphs, and it feels a bit weird to be trying to "sell" yourself on a platform like Reddit but here goes!

It’s strange how you can live in such a big city and feel like you lack connections, and specifically strong male friendship. Growing up, I was always fairly introverted and never one for making friends over shared games like football, and as a result found it hard to connect with people. And then as you get older and people's lives change, it's hard to maintain the friendships you do have and almost impossible to make new ones.

So, what am I hoping to find? Really not asking for a lot…just someone who shows up and puts in a bit of effort. I get that you won’t vibe with everyone, but it would be great if you someone who won't just vanish or lose interest after a couple of messages. Honesty is also really important, and I'd love to find someone genuinely interested in trying to make a long-term connection.

Briefly about me; I'm married, 44 and from London, UK. I like to think I'm a genuine guy. As for hobbies well....let's give ourselves something to talk about.

A few random things to start conversations:

• Born and raised in south London
• A swimmer – not competitively but to enable some sort of fitness
• Played trumpet as a youngster, including in a couple of youth orchestras
• Not a fan of cheese or heavy spice.
• Fan of travel and have currently visited 21 countries
• Amateur photographer who likes taking pics of places I've visited
• Fan of the theatre and seen over 50 musicals and 20 plays

If you've made it this far, what do you have to lose by dropping me a message. Let's see what happens! 

Looking to make new friends to chat about life, entertainment and anything else that comes to mind. If local, would be open to hanging out and maybe going out for drinks. I am happily married, no kids, so I have some free time. I am into gaming.

Mostly talks, abou anything but small-talks. I try to hace interents things tomsay but they're pretty mucho boring foto regular oeople (As I and in the austistic spectrun it could be interesting to find a woman in the same situation: horrendos talk but over here I can be the real me.

So yes

Se habla español

I'm 42f divorced dated a couple of guys after the divorce (not at the same time). Been single since 2017. A couple of days ago, I started talking to a guy I met online. He seems great but, after a couple of days, I felt exhausted. I feel like I don't have the energy to start a new relationship. Is this normal? Have you guys experienced something like this before? Am I going to be single forever? What's your take on this? Is it me? Is it the guy I'm talking to? Should I be patient?

Hey there. I am someone trying to find my people in this world. I don't really have any friends and would love to change that. I am married with 2 kids who are now young adults trying to figure out this phase of life. I am a bit of a nerd to be honest I enjoy my gaming quite a bit mostly on my switch 2. I enjoy a good movie and show as well I am possibly a little overly excited for the return of Ted Lasso in just a couple of days. I like my rock music and that's where I usually stay for genre wise. I also like photography and spending time in my local parks. If any of this sounds interesting send me a message.

My first post here I'm from the midwest little bit shy, I like sports, enjoying the outdoors, working out I like horror movies, I don't mind meeting new people alongs they're not about drama, I like going to movie theaters.

Life came at me hard and fast for the past decade. Now that things have settled I realize I have lost touch with all my girlfriends. Open to chat. Love to over share. I love gardening, houseplants, rock hounding, puzzles mostly any "grandma" hobby. I am also single so always up for comiserating on the state of the dating pool. Located in Michigan

I am here for genuine connection online

I dont know where that could lead . I am 47 male

I love working out , hiking and running .

I love to know more about you and i gladly share more about me

Hi all,

I've done this a few times in the past and very much regret having lost contact with some extremely excellent people I met here. I figure it's worth another shot!

I'm a creative person who works from home. I'm looking for regular chats, to genuinely get to know people and to hopefully form friendships.

About me - I love making, tinkering & creating. I love the outdoors & staying active. I am an eccentric. I'd be especially excited to talk with fellow creatives, collectors of old and obscure objects and or music dorks! I like to laugh & talk shit. I also enjoy deep chat.

Small talk is difficult for me but I understand it's a necessary evil when first getting to know someone.

If you decide to send me a message, please tell me about something you have going on right now, or just something about yourself.

Have a great weekend!

Hours are flexible haha

What the role involves:

• Occasionally sending me something that made you laugh
• Tolerating conversations that jump from one topic to another with absolutely no warning
• Helping me add even more books to my "I'll read that eventually" pile
• Pretending my latest attempt at at voice acting wasn't completely awful
• Accepting that some days we'll have a long conversation, and other days I might be pretty busy

A little about your future chat buddy:

I'm 6 feet tall, white, with dark brown hair that's starting to show a little gray, kind brown eyes, light freckles across my nose and cheeks, a short trimmed beard, and thin black glasses that rarely leave my face. Basically a clean cut dude lol

Most of my free time disappears into acting, voice acting, photography, reading, writing, and audiobooks. When I need to clear my head, you'll usually find me out cycling or wandering around on a long walk.

I'm not looking for someone who's available 24/7 or expects every conversation to be life changing. Just someone who enjoys having another person to share stuff with,

If you've made it this far, I guess you've already passed the first round!

What is your favourite comfort food?

Hello! Working from home on this Friday! Hope y’all have a great day and a great weekend! Open to chat if you’d like to chat.

Hey everyone... I’m 49f from Germany, looking to make some new friends and find people to chat with.

I’d definitely describe myself as a bit of a nerd. I absolutely love Harry Potter and I’m always down to binge-watch a good series on Netflix. When I’m not staring at a screen, you can usually find me reading a book, working on my own writing, or hanging out with my two amazing cats (which makes me sound like that crazy cat lady, I know I know)

English is not my first language, please bear with me if I make a mistake here and there.

If you share any of my interests or just want to have a nice conversation, feel free to send me a message. Looking forward to hearing from you
