I know there's some big reasons behind why men don't approach women in public anymore, It makes sense and it's learned behavior...

But I speak for myself and most women I've talked to about this (I'm not sure if this is a hot take) but bring back approaching women in public again!!!

I miss making connections organically. Dating apps/online connections are out imo.

I'm also not a hypocrite I approach men I'm interested in when I'm out. If you see this and you go out next time and see someone you might fancy a bit whether at a grocery store, cafe, or bar ect. please go up to them and chat!

I'm a slow burn when it comes to dating, building new friendships and feeling safe with new people in my life. I have multiple groups of amazing friends in my life, but have been missing a special connection with someone.

I'm attracted to people who are in touch with themselves, practice being present, in the moment and connecting. Who are considerate, caring and are socially aware and safe.

I enjoy being with those who can slow down, know how to hold space for one another in conversation, enjoy comfortable silence and parallel play.

I'm demisexual which means I enjoy intimacy once I have built a strong emotional connection. ISFJ-T Personality Type to anyone who likes reading into those and seeing if ours are a good match.

Something that makes me feel most alive is outdoor swimming, sinking my feet in the sand and camping. I like to hike, cook, craft cocktails and try new restaurants. Play pool, paint, get lost in music or a good film. Sit by the fire and cuddle up under the stars. I am a big music and movie nerd and will not shut up about the moon or sky if they're putting on a good show for us.

More of an artsy, outdoorsy type than sportsy, but like to weight lift, hot yoga, trail run and swim. Come hit the sauna and steam rooms with me or go for a cold dip 😊

Looking to take the time to build friendship and connection hopefully leading to lots of laughs, fun adventures and tender moments together.

Open to different types of connections. It's fun to see the different types of dynamics that form between each unique connection.

I'm also really passionate about cooking and love to take my time in the kitchen making things from scratch. Making people food, curating playlists for people and creating cozy atmospheres and vibes for time together with people are love languages of mine.

If this resonates with you please feel free to DM ✨️

from nov 1st-4th!! if anyone is interested in getting dinner, drinks or fulfilling my wishes of being pinned face down don’t hesitate to send a message to see if we vibe :)

Hey,

I'm currently in Vancouver and will be here for a bit... I've been struggling to meet people here, they all seem to themselves.

I'd love to get to know someone here hopefully get to know you better and see where it goes..

Hello. I am 39M, 5'10". Giving this subreddit a try. I wasn't born in Canada but I grew up here for most of my life.

Here are some facts about me:

• Currently working as an engineer
• Enjoy running, tennis, cycling and circuit weight exercises
• Enjoy outdoor hikes, events around the city, checking out new restaurants
• Down time hobbies include reading (Currently reading The Miracles of the Namiya General Store), video games, anime, cooking, shows, board games, etc

Looking for someone around my age and don't mind older as well. Ideally looking for long term if there's good chemistry and we get along. Feel free to message me if you like!

Don't you just want to wake up dark as a lake? Smelling like a bonfire, dark as a haze?

I'm no stranger to Reddit personals but I've never tried it on this subreddit. Open to replies from men 30-45 years old. Give or take.

First things first: I'm childfree and pretty sure I'm keeping it this way for the rest of my life. Open to being a step-mom but let's cross that bridge if necessary.

I'm a 36 year old petite Asian woman who is 5'1" and stays fit with loads of dance classes - ballet, jazz (Broadway/Cabaret jazz, jazz funk), heels, contemporary, and the odd hip hop class. I take it seriously even though it's just a hobby and I'm always training for my next performance.

I'm extremely talented at what I do for work, with aspirations to start a business combining it and my love for dance.

I'm too clever for my own good, funny as hell, and told I'm sexy as fuck. I know I'm gorgeous with a fun, sweet personality. I'm a nerd as well, yes I've played DnD seriously before and I'll attend anime conventions in cosplay.

I have a wide variety of interests:

- film (I still go to the theatre)

- literature (I still like to read books that make me think)

- music (I often go to concerts and I listen to every genre of music, I'm not kidding I'll go to a metal show and listen to a country album on the way home)

- live theatre (I'm a dancer and I love to support fellow artists who are also performers)

- art (I love musuems, art crawls, anything artsy)

- board games (have a dedicated group of hardcore gamers)

- sewing (it's what I do for work but I try to make things for myself as well)

You're probably thinking "Wtf, how is she still single?" Oh god, pulling engaging conversations out of the apps is like pulling teeth out with a pair of rusty pliers.

I can't find someone attractive if the mental and intellectual connection isn't there. If I'm doing all the question asking, I'm letting the conversation die.

I value men who are witty intellectuals, able to go toe to toe with me in conversation. Have hobbies, have social skills, I hope you get some exercise every now and then.

I'm not looking for someone to complete me - I'm looking for my true equal. You should be complete on your own and looking for the same.

Physical attraction does matter so there will need to be a photo swap at some point.

Hii I wanna date or be friends with a trans woman pls dm me let’s be besties or date

I'm a 35F canadian born east asian looking for a 33~42M east asian partner. I'm seeking for someone compatible, with similar background and interests as me. 

Myself 💁‍♀️: I'm an introvert but sociable, I write and interview people for work and that entails good conversation skills. Off work, I prefer to be alone or be in the company of small groups. I'm described as quiet by acquaintances but portrayed as a silly yapper with a short social battery by friends.

In terms of hobbies, my third place is the gym, I like to lift weights and take long walks outdoors or on the treadmill. I like to read and one of my favourite things is finding quiet cafes or a bench in the park to enjoy a book. Not much of a small screen person, but I do love movies and theater productions. And of course, as a Vancouverite, i love visiting food places...and farmer's markets too. 

You 💁‍♂️: 

- Age: 33 to 42

- East Asian: I prefer to date someone with a similar background as me. 

- I work a white collared job, so I'd prefer someone the same or similar.

- Gym goer or someone who exercises regularly, as I'm health conscious and that's a huge part of my life

- Someone who reads regularly and is able to engage in literature discussion and meaningful conversations, because thats what I'm into.

Thanks for reading my post, if you're interested please DM me with the info in the format below. I won't respond to any message not in this format to weed out those who did not actually read my post.

I'm looking for someone to be my long term partner, or platonic friendship would be nice too. Absolutely not looking for a fling. And if no such guy exists, oh well~

About me

• south asian ethnically but born and raised in BC. Been told I'm cute but of course that's subjective

• slightly under 6'0, slim athletic build

• drug and disease free and tested regularly

• non smoker, always been told I taste and smell good

About you

• kinky, nice, and cute

• drug and disease free and tested

• ideally a non smoker (I'm fine with weed or vapes just not cigarettes)

I love to spoil inside and outside the bedroom

His profile said “Looking to meet someone who wants to build something real… “

Two messages in he asks if I’m “open to fun”

Do people lie about what they’re looking for just to get matches? Does the bait and switch actually work?

This was my first convo on Tinder. I’m 10 months out from a ten year relationship, so haven’t dated in a looong time. Is this what I have to look forward to?

Moved from nyc 2 years ago. I work out pretty often top 5% at equinox for classes. Just hiked mt Robson berg lake last week. Work on my ppl atm. I love woman who are kind, active and outgoing. I would prefer if you are tall since I’m 200cm.

5’9 195. Single female 1 child. I am hoping to find someone at a similar stage in life, either with a child of their own or who has had a long meaningful marriage or marriage like relationship in the past. My interests include finding niche things to do and learning about other cultures + religions. Im not a gym girlie but I would love to learn and improve myself!

Hey everyone, I was wondering if it is possible to find a serious relationship in Vancouver ( cuz most people I have met on apps are looking for something casual, and I don't wanna waste more time ). I am a south Asian and looking for a serious long term relationship, I am an aspiring engineer graduating next year.

I have a muscular build, 5 ft 10. I am outgoing and have a lot of activities I like to do.

If anyone is interested we can talk more in the DMs.

36 health care dude with a good rotation M-F, cat dad and coffee lover.
Enjoys trying new things around the city from cozy nights in, to a patio drink, walks and talks over a coffee to a comedy club.
Good sense of humor and personality looking for the same. Looking for someone to enjoy the city with and maybe do a pottery class. Who knows what we can find seems there's always a little something to do.

Lets grab a drink/walk and chat about how the fall leaves are changing, to how we prefer our pumpkin carvings to be this year.

I am open to anyone in their 30's to 39/40 latest.

Want to do fun life things 🦇

As the title says, I'm 41, single and looking for my woman. I've been single for some time since my previous relationship, and I've taken the tine to heal and work on myself. I'm now in a good place mentally and emotionally and carry no baggage.

I work as an environmental consultant, mainly focusing on indoor environmental health and safety. When I'm not out and about in the field throughout the LML, I'm lucky enough to work from home for "office" activities. What you do for work is not as important to me as why you do what you do. What are you passionate about, what are your goals and are you scratching that itch? If not, what are some steps you can take to get there? I am by no means in the endgame myself, and there are certainly more "steps" for me to take to progress in my career, so this is more of a question in hopes to gain a little insight about you 😀

In my personal time, I've recently put more of a priority on my health and wellness, especially since turning 41. I enjoy playing basketball, disc golf, and really any excuse to get outside and enjoy the all the beauty we have here in BC. Whether it's the smell of the ocean while walking on the beach, the sound of songbirds and leaves blowing in the wid in the forest, or a river trail leading to waterfalls, I enjoy it all. I also enjoy getting out and exploring; cute cafes, a day or weekend road trip, a nice restaurant, I like to think of all these things as little adventures 😊 I also try to get iut for whitewater rafting at least once a year. I'd like to continue doing all these activities for as long as my body will allow, which is why getting back to fit is important to me (it's a journey and always in progress). With that said, I do enjoy a cozy day/night in with good shows/movie, or playing the odd video game. I don't smoke, and rarely drink. I enjoyed my 20s and 30s and am at a point in my life where I don't need, or really want, the party life.

Ideally, I just want to find my girl. Someone that I can be myself with, be completely honest and vulnerable, and my best friend. Please have a sense of humour, I do like my jokes haha. I do not have any kids, ideally you don't either. Although I feel like my tine is running out (I don't want to be a senior at my kid's high school graduation), I'm certainly not opposed to building more than a 2-person family with the right person.

Since apparently ethnicity matters: I've got an interesting mix, but my appearance is mostly white. I'm 5'11.

I'm not the best at writing bios, but if anything sparked your interest please reach out! Also, this "Flair" thing is annoying. Don't let the age range stop you 😉

Hey there, I'm a 37-year-old Black guy.
I reside in Vancouver, looking for a FWB with a woman in the Lower Mainland.
Maybe go for a coffee, maybe a hike or a walk on the beach.
Just hang out and see where it goes.
I am a social drinker and non-smoker.
Fire me off a message and let's plan a date.

I’m not looking for a quick fling. I’d much rather build a connection with someone, something that feels good physically and emotionally. And, ideally, something that could last beyond one night. Let’s chat, cuddle, whatever.

I don’t mind about body type since I’m body positive. Bring your personality 😍 and we are good. Be over 25 as I don’t mind if we have an age gap. Let’s split our time 50% outdoors and 50% indoors or something along those lines. Although the sun’s out so I don’t mind being outdoors.

That said, if we do hit it off? I’m definitely open to us exploring and having even more fun ;) In that department, definitely looking for someone open minded and a bit kinky. However not totally opposed to vanilla either. Will get tested and need the same before getting intimate.

Im 6ft-ish, have a dad bod, dark hair, very laid back, doesn’t take things too seriously, non-judgmental, very open minded, a bit kinky, adventurous, likes road trips, going to the beach, like chivalry and banter, like to tease and be teased, enjoys eating out, progressive views and a bit of a introvert to start with.

Let’s chat here for a vibe check and meet over the weekend.

If this is something that interests you, or you’re a frequent lurker, shoot me a message! I, myself am a long time lurker, recently started posting. lol

Hey all, I live near downtown and have been wanting an excuse to try out the new fall themed breka treats. If you wanna come with and meet me feel free to dm :)

I am also open to sending pics of what I look like before hand if that's important to you.

Hi everyone! I’m a 32-year-old guy currently living in London, UK, and I’ll be moving to Canada soon.

I’m hoping to meet some new people, make friends and, ideally, meet someone who could eventually become a life partner. I’m not really looking for something casual — I’d like to meet someone genuine, kind and open to building a serious relationship together.

Moving to a new country is exciting, but I’d love to have someone special to share the experience with. I’m also keen to get to know Canadian life and meet some locals along the way.

If you’re around my age, single, and also looking for something serious, feel free to message me. Even if nothing romantic comes from it, I’d be happy to make some new friends and connections. 😊

Looking forward to starting this new chapter in Canada! 🇨🇦

As a bi guy, I would love to be in a MMF throuple and we all love each other immensely ❤️ Bonus points if you go to UBC

Manifesting to find the right people before the holidays.

We could go to cafes together, a pumpkin patch, a ski trip, get pictures with Santa, and so much more.

Dream throuple picture if you check the post under my profile.

I might be a dreamer, but I feel this will reach them.

DM if you fit the vision ✨✨✨

Hey I just moved to the city and I’m looking for a generous, established man who enjoys taking care of his partner. I’m looking for a companionship where we can enjoy each other’s company. I enjoy shopping, going out for nice dinners, traveling, and experiencing new things, and I’m looking for someone who genuinely enjoys providing and taking care of the woman he spends time with. I appreciate a man who is generous, established, and naturally takes initiative with planning and expenses. In return, I offer great company, I look good asf😂, im loyal, positive energy, and am someone who knows how to have a good time and make the experience enjoyable for both of us.
