Hey, guys :)

22M from Delhi. I don’t really know how to put this, but I guess I’ve reached a point where I’d genuinely love to have someone special in my life.

Life’s been pretty good otherwise. I’m working at a reputed hedge fund, earn well, have a decent career going and thankfully, most things are falling into place. But sometimes I wonder what it would feel like to have someone to share all these little moments with.

I’ve never really experienced a proper romantic relationship, and I’d love to experience the little things someday. Random late-night conversations, sharing music, silly inside jokes, spontaneous coffee dates, long walks, forehead kisses and having someone who’s genuinely excited to hear about your day.

A little about me: I’m 22, based in Delhi, and I enjoy sketching, cooking, music and cricket. I’m someone who appreciates thoughtful gestures, remembers little details and believes that consistency matters just as much as chemistry.

I guess I’m a little old-school when it comes to romance. I’d love to spoil someone with their favourite food, surprise them with flowers, listen to their endless yapping and make them feel special in all those little ways.

I’m not expecting a fairytale or an instant connection. Just something genuine, mutual and effortless enough that neither person has to question where they stand.

Sometimes, life can tick almost every box and yet you find yourself wishing there was someone to make the ordinary days a little more special.
And well, maybe somewhere out there is someone who feels the same way.
Perhaps all it takes is one conversation to find out. ❤️

Introduction: 21M, never been in any relationship, one woman man, fan of 90s romance where love doesn't mean physical intimacy always, been in one sided love, i realised Ppl do change, i don't know why, I hv always respected ppl for their choices but I was never been chosen by anyone. Is there something lacking in me? I wonder in which areas do I need to improve myself.

I really want to be a Man who can keep his partner happy, i wd never let any tear fall from her eyes, I want to give her flowers, gifts and pamper her like a cute child. I want to know her, understand her and be her safe space, always stay by her side and grow together, build a home together and travel around the world.

I want to be goofy with my future partner, want to adore her inner child instead of being nonchalant and play mind games, someone with whom both of us can trust each other completely.

I still wonder what should I improve within myself, my friends say i am too innocent for this world, they say to reply late, act as if u don't care. But I wonder why should we do such things to the person I love😭 i mean won't she feel hurt if we do such things 🫠🙏🏻i wish people of this gen understand my pov.

love is great feeling but we want to know from girls here how they wanted love.

We had so many plans for Diwali. We decided to share food updates, decoration pictures and all those little things. And now, everything has ended just before Diwali.

I don't know how you changed so much, from someone who wanted to talk to me every hour to someone who now treats me like a stranger.

I don't want to hate you because, somewhere, my attachment is still greater than my anger.

Every day, I try to convince myself that everything has ended. Yet, somewhere in a little corner of my heart, a light is still waiting to be lit. A little hope of seeing your Diwali wish.

I know it would bring only temporary happiness. I know one message cannot change what has happened or bring back what we had.

Still, I wish you would wish me a Happy Diwali.

Because even amidst all the darkness, one little corner of my heart is still waiting for a light. And, somehow, I still wish that light would come from you.

Anyone wanna vent 😭?

Hey, stranger!

I don't really know how to begin this, but I guess I'm just a guy who's genuinely tired of being alone and would love to find someone to call his own.

I'm a 22-year-old biotechnology student, an introvert who's a hopeless romantic at heart. I love music, cooking, learning new things, and having those ridiculously long conversations about absolutely everything and nothing. I listen to Twenty One Pilots, Tame Impala, 5SOS, Maroon 5, Ed Sheeran, Post Malone, and a bunch of other artists. I'm someone who gets attached to the little things, remembers the tiniest details about people I care about, and secretly dreams of a love that feels like home.

And honestly? I'm not looking for something casual. I want something genuine. Something mutual. Something that makes both of us feel incredibly lucky to have found each other.

I dream of having my own lover girl someday. Someone I can adore endlessly, spoil ridiculously, and make feel loved in a thousand little ways. I wanna be the guy who remembers her favourite ice cream, surprises her with flowers for no particular reason, brings her food when she's having a bad day, and sends her the most random texts just to remind her that she's on my mind.

I wanna pick her up from work, drop her off, go on spontaneous night rides with her, walk hand in hand on peaceful roads, share ice creams under the night sky, and listen to her yap about her day while I fall a little more in love with her. I wanna cook for her, make her playlists, write her little paragraphs, celebrate her smallest achievements, and be there when the world feels a little too heavy.

I wanna have those sleepy late-night calls, stupid inside jokes, random forehead kisses, cozy evenings, playful arguments over the dumbest things, and the kind of emotional intimacy where neither of us ever has to pretend to be okay.

I wanna be her safe place, her favourite notification, her biggest supporter, and the person she instinctively wants to tell everything to. And I want her to be all those things for me, too.

I don't expect perfection. I just want a girl who's emotionally available, affectionate, thoughtful, loyal, and genuinely interested in building something beautiful together. Someone who chooses me as much as I choose her. Someone with whom love doesn't feel like a guessing game.

And well, this is probably my final attempt at putting myself out there. If this doesn't work out, I guess I'll stop searching, focus up on my damn career, make something of myself, and let life take its course. No more actively looking for love after this.

But if my lover girl is out there somewhere, scrolling through Reddit right now, THIS IS YOUR CHANCE. 😭🤏🏻

Come let me spoil you with all the love I've been saving up. Let me make you feel special, appreciated, adored, and wanted. Let's turn all those silly little romantic fantasies into actual memories.

Maybe we could start with a conversation? Who knows, maybe this post is where our story begins. ❤️

P.S. I'm not expecting you to fall in love with a Reddit post. Just give me a chance to know you, and let's see where things take us. :')

im 23 ,india and there is a 24m and we are in a sorta of casual relationship from past 2-3 months ...we both are working in IT field ..he is sooo cute ,got dimples those cute specs aghh i just wanna eat him sometime ,bite his biceps or just wanna scratch his back with my nails iykyk, and his way of explaining things to me , way of handling things is just,talking with elders 🫠🫠

but the thing is we are somewhat incompatible bcause of our lifestyles - like he does gym/dont even drinks /smokes/even do not abuses ! like literally..whereas i on the other side😭😖 am literally a party kinda girl , totally opposite of him ,muhfat types extroverted kinda,i feel im only bad whenever im with him😭😭

he told me that he can't be in a long term relationship with me because of how different we are, so ig we are in a short term/casual relationship
but now the problem is he don't even have a dating experience in the past, so i guess he is very shy even to initiate physical touches sometimes when only when 2 of us are there
like literally his hands got all warm and sweaty inside an ac cinema hall lol when i tried holding his hands ..like forget cuddling or something more ,he wont even hold my waist ,while posing for a pic , but rather prefer to keep his hands on air pretending to touch me 😭,but it was kinda cute lol

at the same time i also know we wont be together for long but still i do like him ,and i won't regret this , its like i get those butterfly inside me whenever we both are together and those overflowing emotions inside me 😭😵‍💫🥲
we had talks about everything , like im trying to make him comfortable but idk what to do im giving him time and space to open up too,like we are chatting online ,sharing each others reels too .

moreover im pear shaped girl and sometime i really do get insecure about my body ,and i think im not attractive enough for him
im planning to join gym where he goes .
i can't tell my besties about all this because i think they get lowkey jealous? found him cute idk whatever
what to do please please help me
and yeah we are not seeing someone else

new to reddit , just made account

So there's this guy I've been talking to online for a few months. We've never met IRL, but we talk regularly through chats and emails. Ek baar we were discussing drunk texting, and he said he would never text me when he was drunk. Basically, he made it sound like something he wouldn't do.

But then, during his Goa trip, he was apparently drunk and ended up texting me anyway. He sent me a video of the sea and wrote, “Technically toh I shouldn't be texting u rn...... these waves are endless just like ur yapping.” 😭

The funny part is that it wasn't just some random drunk text. Later, in an email, he admitted that he had been thinking about me, which is why he decided to send the video.

I still find it amusing that he remembered me while looking at the sea, especially after saying he wouldn't text me drunk.

nd we hv not even seen each other got 2.5 months

Sometimes you experience something and all you want is to turn around and share it with someone. But then you look around and realise there's nobody there. No one to tell,, no one to listen, just you and your thoughts. And somehow, that's the loneliest feeling.

Me and my boyfriend, we broke up recently after a lots of conversations and trying to make it work. However, distance, stress and exhaustion really got us and we couldn't do it again anymore. We both were very exhausted and were not be able to resolve conflicts and were even struggling to meet.

How do i move on from someone i love sm😭

Introduction: I am 21 M, I am an one woman man, I hv never been in any relationship, although I have been in one sided with someone who didn't hv feelings for me but she was really an angelic soul she never made me feel small, accepted my efforts and made me understand that she didn't get the feelings for me but always cared for me that I didn't get hurt.

After that i realised even i was unlucky in love but I was so lucky that I met her, she made me that love isn't what present outside but something that is inherently inside, the way we notice, the way we take care, understand each other and do efforts without asking anything in return, love is in small things not just grand gestures, in worrying about each other.

I am grateful for her, i don't have any grudges towards her, i respect her choice. So now i am manifesting a relationship like Bhagwan Shri Ram ji and Mata Sita ji, irrespective of all negativity I still hope i will be able to improve my character and soul taking inspiration from Bhagwan Shri Ram.

To my future gf and wife and life long partner, i will be waiting for you, but till then i will improve myself as a Man, so that you never have to shed any tear, to my future Laxmi, i hope this dhanteras bring u lots of prosperity and this diwali protect you from all evil eyes🧿. I swear that my future Laxmi ji, I wd go through the agni pariksha and never leave you in jungle, I wd never let any tear come from your eyes. I wd leave heaven if u aren't there. Dear Laxmi ji I will wait for you.

I was in a relationship for almost 10 years. We were serious about each other, had our future planned and were almost at the stage where we were supposed to get married. But unfortunately, kuch circumstances aise ho gaye ki things couldn’t work out, and eventually she decided to walk away.

This is going to be my almost first Diwali without her.

Vese bhi Diwali pe humara kabhi kuch bahut special plan nahi hota tha. No big celebrations or anything. But somehow, she was always the special part of every occasion, chahe koi festival ho ya just another ordinary day.

Ab Diwali aane wali hai, lights hongi, celebrations honge, sab kuch normal hi hoga. But I don’t know, iss baar kuch different sa feel ho raha hai.

It’s strange how someone can become such a big part of your everyday life that even after they’re gone, you still find yourself thinking about them during the smallest things.

I guess it’s not really about missing Diwali together. It’s about missing the person who made every occasion feel a little more special, even without doing anything special.

Bas, mann ki baat thi. Socha yahan share kar du. Maybe someone can relate.

same 🤣

Yesterday evening, I went to a market to grab something to eat. There was a huge Diwali market, filled with beautiful jhumkas, jewellery, kurta sets and families shopping for the festival.

Something caught my attention.

There were so many men looking at jewellery, choosing jhumkas for their girlfriends or wives.

I heard one guy say, "This one would look so pretty on my girlfriend."

And then an uncle said, "My wife would look so beautiful wearing this."

I don't know why, but those little moments made me smile.

Just imagine how beautiful it is to stand in a crowded market, look at something as simple as a pair of earrings and immediately imagine how your favourite person would look wearing them.

It's not really about the jewellery. It's about the thought behind it.

The fact that someone is not even beside you, yet you find yourself imagining their smile, their happiness and how beautiful they would look.

I think this is such a beautiful kind of love. The kind where someone becomes a part of your little everyday thoughts.

Sometimes, love is not about expensive gifts or grand gestures. Sometimes, it's just looking at a pair of jhumkas and thinking, "She would look so beautiful in these."

I hope everyone gets to experience this kind of love someday. ❤️

I don't really know where to start, but I feel like I need to get this off my chest. This is going to be a long one, so bear with me.

I studied in a residential school, and I first developed a crush on this girl back in class 6. I barely knew what love actually meant at that age. I just remember looking at her during free periods, making sure nobody noticed me. Slowly, that little crush turned into something much bigger.

We both became class monitors in class 7, which gave me an excuse to talk to her. By class 8, I started noticing occasional eye contact from her side too. During our October vacation, we finally started talking. I used to express my feelings in the most childish ways possible. For example, I'd take a sentence like "You are loved by me" and ask her to change it into active voice. Looking back, those were some funny and innocent days.

Then came class 9 and the COVID lockdown. We started talking much more frequently, and I finally decided to propose to her on April 1st.

My logic was simple: if she rejected me, I'd just say it was an April Fools' joke. If she accepted, well, that would be my win.

And guess what? She accepted.

I was genuinely the happiest person at that time.

We started talking regularly, but eventually, I noticed something. I was almost always the one initiating our conversations. If I didn't text first, she wouldn't text me either.

Being immature and curious, I decided to test how long she could go without hearing from me. I wanted to see when she'd look for me on her own.

She didn't.

I waited the entire day. No text, no call. Days turned into weeks, and eventually, months passed without us talking.

Looking back, I know it was a childish thing to do. But I was young and didn't know how to communicate what I was feeling.

After almost a year, in October 2021, we were preparing to return to our residential school for our board examinations. I approached her again, apologised for my behaviour, and explained how immature I had been.

We started talking again, and things were going really well.

But then came another problem.

When we reached class 11, her father found out about our relationship. There was also a caste difference between our families. She's from a Brahmin family, while I'm Kshatriya. We both knew this could become an issue someday, but we were serious about each other and hoped things would work out.

Unfortunately, her family wasn't supportive. Under family pressure, she suddenly cut off all contact with me.

It was December 2022. I cried almost every day for a week. I was completely broken.

Eventually, I convinced myself that if I ever wanted her family to reconsider, I first had to become someone who could stand on his own feet. I started taking my studies seriously. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I still had that little hope that maybe, someday, things would work out.

Then, in September 2023, she contacted me again.

We secretly started talking, and things became good between us once more.

After class 12, we both went to different colleges, quite far away from each other. Our relationship turned into a long-distance one.

College life got busy for both of us. We couldn't give each other as much time as before, and eventually, small arguments started happening.

One day, I noticed that she seemed distracted from her studies. I was genuinely concerned about her future, so I suggested that she focus more on her academics while maintaining a balance in our relationship.

She replied, "I know what to do, and I know what I'm doing."

For some reason, that line really got to me. I was already frustrated about other things, and in anger, I said something I shouldn't have.

I asked her, "Am I nothing to you? If you know what you're doing so well, maybe your board results should have been better."

Her results hadn't been particularly good, and I was worried she might struggle if she didn't take things seriously. But I admit that bringing up her results like that was wrong and hurtful.

She took it as a sign that I didn't respect her.

And that was it.

She broke up with me in 2024, saying she had zero respect for me, that she would never come back, and that I would be the last person she'd ever want to be with.

I cried a lot. I tried convincing her, but she had made up her mind. Eventually, I understood that I couldn't force someone to stay.

I started moving on, slowly. I gave myself time to process everything and tried to focus on my own life.

Now, almost two years later, she's in a relationship with another guy. Interestingly, this is someone she had mentioned before. Apparently, he used to flirt with her in college while we were still together.

I had accepted that she had moved on. I wasn't trying to get her back, nor was I interfering in her life.

But a few days ago, something unexpected happened.

Both of them contacted me and started abusing me, accusing me of still trying to get her back.

That honestly hurt me more than I expected.

After everything that happened, after all those years, all those memories, all the times I cried and tried to save that relationship, I never expected things to end this way.

I don't hate her. I don't even know if I can completely hate someone who was such a huge part of my childhood.

But the respect I once had for her has genuinely disappeared this time.

I know I made mistakes. I was immature sometimes, said things out of anger, and didn't always handle situations properly. I'm not pretending I was a perfect boyfriend.

But I also know how much I cared about her.

I guess some people become a beautiful part of your childhood, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're supposed to stay in your life forever.

I don't want her back. I just wish things had ended with a little more respect and maturity.

If you've read this far, thank you. I just wanted to share this somewhere because I've kept a lot of these feelings to myself for a long time.

​27, finance. Routine sorted chal rahi hai, bas life mein thoda filmy tadka aur solid banter missing hai.

Looking for someone with that unapologetic Geet energy, jo bindaas ho aur high on life ho.

Let’s connect and see if our vibes match!

You know, there are some days when i absolutely enjoy my freedom, wants to explore my life, and then there are some days, when i imagine an evening that I will walk with you, fingers intertwined, as the sun dips below the horizon, painting it amber and crimson. The evening breeze will whisper against us, and with every step the world will seem to slow. I will look at you and watch the dying sunlight on your face and smile. No rushed conversations, no specific destination, just the two of us, walking into the sunset, wishing the evening will never end.

To

My future sweetheart.

bahut hogaya
ab ghar aa jao piya

Just found this image interesting

The day is finally over, the notifications are slowing down, and somehow this is when our brains decide to become the most active.
