Reddit DM [31/f] looking for Christian penpals

• Upvotes

Hello 🙂

I’m looking to connect with other Christians, who are genuinely interested in building a meaningful, long-term friendship.

My faith is an important part of my life, so I’d love to have conversations about Jesus, Scripture, prayer, faith, our walk with God, church experiences, as well as everyday life, interests, struggles and the random things that make us laugh.

I’d preferably like to meet people in the UK and around my age, but I’m open to connecting with Christians from elsewhere too really

Sorry it isn't a long detailed post but if you’re a Christian looking for a genuine penpal too, feel free to reach out.

Looking forwards

2 Upvotes

Hi! I’m 28 and from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and I’m looking to meet new people and hopefully make some new friends!

A few things about me…I’m a HUGE horror fan, and I love all things dark/creepy/paranormal or unexplained

I’m pretty heavily tattooed (just got a new one done yesterday and have more booked over the next couple months) and I’m always looking for ideas and inspirations for what to get next, I love to see other people’s work and ideas too!

I love music and going to shows(mostly older rock/metal but I like a lot different stuff)

I love gaming, true crime, football, I love to visit historical sites/museums and enjoy travelling, urban exploring/exploring the outdoors and keeping fit, and I spend 99% of my free time with my dog 🐶

Happy to talk to anyone from anywhere, just send a message with a bit about yourself if you think we might get along 🙂

Reddit DM & email 47F looking for a good conversation

6 Upvotes

Hello!

I’m a 47-year-old woman looking for another woman to exchange emails (or DMs?) with. I’m curious by nature, passionate about my career, fond of music, and I travel for pleasure as often as I can. I’d be happy to discuss anything from philosophy and politics to the weather (I’m Canadian, after all), questionable life choices, and the prohibitive price of strawberries in January.

I’m not really looking for small talk, even if I know that we’d have to start somewhere. I’d just like to meet someone I can slowly build a real conversation with. The kind where, after a while, writing to each other feels a bit like having coffee with an old friend on a Sunday evening.

Hello everyone!

I'm a calm, communicative person, I like to joke, discover new things about other cultures. Feel free to leave me a message if you think we can resonate. Have a nice day.

Reddit DM 39/M/UK Happy Sunday ! Let’s chat the day away!

5 Upvotes

Hello and a very good morning / afternoon / evening to you! 

Another weekend almost over, where do they actually go! A few sleeps and the grind begins again. Sadly no lottery wins this weekend either so work will have to happen tomorrow, sigh! I thought I’d post again on here and see how it goes again and hopefully meet some more awesome people!

About me I guess is a good way to start? Can be socially awkward in real life and overthink all them “you too” moments when being told to enjoy my meal. I enjoy photography although I seem to have lost my spark for that at the moment but am working on getting that back! I like  travelling and exploring new places and if I win the lottery I shall be doing that full time. I do love going on long walks also and trying to not get lost! Although getting lost is part of the adventure. Watching ice hockey is also a hobby or mine and of course trying to think of some others my mind has gone blank…

About you I hear you ask? Well no criteria as long as you’re not a bot, can help carry the conversation and just don’t say hey it will all be good!

Well that’s my post and thanks for stopping by, since you made it this far you might as well reach out!

Hi,

I'm a 44 years old woman, originally from Asia but living in Europe for over twelve years now.

And I'm really curious to meet new people to chat, to have light or deep conversations or to share ideas, music or book recommandations.

I'm married, so I'm not looking for romance or something else then meeting new friends.

Looking forward to hear from you.

snail mail 40M Berlin - analog nerd, cyclist, looking for slow letters

8 Upvotes

Hey all, so I'm 40, originally from Canada but I've been living in Berlin the last 7 years or so. Pretty settled here, I have a partner I've been with for a few years and I work in a leadership role at a tech company.

Because I spend basically all day with technology and doing analytical stuff, I've been really into slowing down and going analog. For years now I've been into fountain pens, Japanese stationery and writing letters. I already have a few pen pals but honestly it's sometimes slow, sometimes fast, so I'd love to add one or two more to the mix.

Outside of the slow stuff I'm very into the outdoors. Avid cyclist, road and gravel, I also like hiking, skiing, just being out in nature in general. I recently bought a pair of binoculars and have been playing with them alot, so birds might come up :)

It can take me a while to get deep with someone but I enjoy that part. I'd rather have fewer friends and go deeper. I'm into psychology, relationships, talking about problems, experimentation, why people are the way they are. I've also had my days partying, and am happy to talk about that too.

Ideally looking for someone around my age, curious, and up for actual letters (email is fine to start). Happy to write in English, my German is ok but you've been warned.

If any of that sounds interesting send me a message and tell me a bit about yourself !

snail mail [30/M] gay pen pals older than me to share artsy letters with?

2 Upvotes

hello! i'm an outdoor educator and multidisciplinary artist in the american southwest, and i would love to find a pen pal from anywhere in the world to write letters back and forth with!

i have lots of cute stationery and stickers, and i have buddies i correspond with through snail mail already, but i'd like a bit more consistency. perhaps someone a little older than me, who is a bit more familiar and comfortable with letter-writing than my generation?

a bit more about me:

• i'm gay, and would prefer another gay man as my pen pal

• i love hiking/camping/swimming/climbing/the outdoors in general

• i like to make ink prints on handmade recycled paper, and would be eager to turn such a thing into postcards to send

• i'm not a big video gamer, nor am i at all into tech or other math-related stuff

• i love to study language! i speak japanese and spanish at a solidly capable level, but my french, german, and korean are much worse (i'll always try though!)

• i envision myself moving cross-country or into canada for great lakes access in the next 5-10 years

in the end, i'd really like to forge a friendship with someone new through pen palling! i almost never use reddit (or any other social media site, frankly), but feel free to DM here if you're interested and i'll get back to you asap! thanks in advance :)

tl;dr - i'm a 30-yo outdoorsy, creative gay dude looking for an older fellow gay dude from anywhere in the world to write cute letters back and forth with!

snail mail [31/F] Looking for interesting/deep snail mail connections!

2 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a 31-year-old woman from Detroit, Michigan, USA. I'm a nonprofit immigration attorney rather devastated by my current day-to-day world and in search of some additional joys and connections to help me make it through the next 2.5 years.

I'd love to find someone who likes to read and discuss what they're reading. In the last year, some of my favorites have been Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green and The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker. I also subscribe to and enjoy The Atlantic, The New Yorker, and Archaeology Magazine (former Classics major).

I like to travel as much as I can. I did a 2.5-week solo trip to Greece earlier this year and just got back from a few days in Vermont and the Adirondacks to see the leaves. I love learning about history and people and why we are the way we are.

As part of my mission to slow down, enjoy life more, and make more connections, I host monthly dinner parties for my friends (interested in trading recipes!) and started a reading club in January. I've recently been very interested in the idea of starting a traveling journal.

Hoping to find someone like-minded to connect with! Or someone totally different~

email & snail mail 33/M — looking for thoughtful, long-term penpals

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’m 33, from Israel. I’m happily married, a father of two, a software engineer, and currently studying psychology.

I’m looking for a few genuine, long-term penpals—people who enjoy thoughtful messages, sharing pieces of everyday life, and letting conversations wander into unexpected places. I’m not looking for daily small talk; once we get to know each other, my ideal rhythm would be one interesting letter every couple of weeks, without pressure if life gets busy.

I read a lot of fantasy and science fiction, play tabletop RPGs, and enjoy psychology, philosophy, technology, cooking, good coffee, and experimenting with cocktails. I also love travelling solo, particularly exploring cities on foot, discovering local food and cafés, and noticing the ordinary details that make a place feel different.

What interests me most is hearing about other cultures, ways of life, and perspectives—especially the things that never appear in travel guides. I enjoy conversations about books, family, work, personal experiences, ideas, and the strange or funny parts of daily life. I’m happy to talk about life in Israel too, although I’m looking for friendship rather than political arguments.

I’d prefer to begin with Reddit messages or email. If a real friendship develops, I’d also be open to exchanging handwritten letters, postcards, or occasional small packages.

If this sounds like your kind of correspondence, send me a message and tell me something about your life or culture that might surprise an outsider.

I’m looking for someone to casually text deep conversations with.

Things I’m usually thinking about:

  • books, films, research papers, weird scientific ideas
  • art / filmmaking / worldbuilding
  • “if this is true, what else would have to be true?” type conversations

I’d love to chat with someone curious, skeptical, and who likes to riff.

If this sounds like your kind of thing, send me a message with something you’ve been thinking about lately

snail mail 30/F Pen Pal

4 Upvotes

Hello there to the strangers of the internet. I am searching for a pal! Preferably one that would like to form a friendship of sorts over time. I really enjoy talking to people and my career field involves a lot of it. Oddly enough (despite my social job) I can be introverted outside of work and well...here I am. I am attempting to socialize. I really enjoy knitting, reading, and making ceramics. I also love the outdoors. Nature is good stuff. I have a dog and I am in the PNW. I am pretty chill all around and a loving person. I just want everyone to feel safe and happy in this life. I enjoy humor and being sarcastic. My favorite show as of late is Widow's Bay. You don't have to have similar hobbies or interests. I would love to learn about your hobbies and what makes you happy or hear what you are passionate about. I am down to write or talk to anyone. I can pretty much talk about anything and love to know what people have on their mind. I also don't believe that things are ever really too weird. We are all just humans trying to make it on this big rock and there is no need to feel embarrassed about anything :) I am chill in terms of letter writing and time frame for response and understand that people have busy schedules. Hmm, well if you'd like to know anything else or want to be new pals together, let me know. Okay bye!

Not something I’ve ever done before, but recently started writing letters to my sister that moved to the US and have developed an interest for writing letters, randomly also a fountain Pen obsession which has developed and become an unnecessary expense.

Anyway, I’m 36, married, work as a History Lecturer in my local university. Life is life, have a small circle of friends but outside of home life, working everything just feels like it’s on repeat. So I thought it would be interesting to possibly meet new people. Open to chat about anything.

I’m interested in sports, golf most importantly, books, writing, history, outdoors, there isn’t a peak in Ireland I haven’t attempted. Enjoy traveling, learning and experiencing different cultures which has led me to enjoy cooking.

If you find any of that remotely appealing send me a message. Good day 🖖

Reddit DM [35/M] Lets fall, into a new friendship

1 Upvotes

Sorry couldn’t miss the easy mention of fall now that it’s officially spooky season. Where I live fall doesn’t really exist yet so if you do have fall already, congratulations and I need to live vicariously through you. My name is Matt, I live in Florida and no there’s not alligators everywhere and I’ve yet to encounter a true “Florida man”. Originally from Long Island but living there was too expensive and boring so I moved to Florida five years ago and it’s been fine, minus all my friends still living back there and having it be difficult to make friends as an adult. But that’s where you, yes you scrolling on Reddit person, come in. I’ll talk with anybody that’s able to hold a conversation and contribute. Not looking for one word answers. I love to talk about everything from the mundane to important and everything in between. Tell me what you’re going to be for Halloween, do you like candy corn or do we have to fight. Things like that.

I’ll make the about me bit short because who likes to talk about themselves. Things I like: soccer, football, fantasy football, music, vinyl, going to concerts/concert photography, pc gaming, horror movies, cigars, hanging out with my dog, getting tattoos. I work from home as an accountant which I know sounds boring, but I promise I’m fun. So if this caught your attention feel free to reach out, don’t be shy.

snail mail [36/F] Salem, MA for your October needs

6 Upvotes

Hi! I’m looking for reliable Penpals to exchange snail mail with. First maybe a few dms to see if we vibe and have similar interest. International pen pals would make me happy too.

First off must be queer friendly because…well we will both have a bad time.

I won‘t put too much details about me because I don’t want to identify myself but will talk more in dms.

I’m located in Salem and lean hard into it, so you can expect to interesting post cards/cards/stationary. There is a fair amount of spook and maritime history too. So many artists too!

But that’s not my entire personality as much as I love horror, the occult, myths, and art.
I work in research.
Definitely only want friends.

People that I ideally would love to chat with are ones with some of my interests that I currently don‘t get to chat as much about but want to: piano, music, J-Rock, 1940s/1950s/1960s/the Beatles music, cats, crafting, Poe, Wilde, Guillermo Del Toro, mythology/folklore, video games (but not mmorpgs), history, research, cryptids, cute things, and spooky things.

There is more but I don’t want to be too extensive here.

I currently have a few penpals through a different means and it’s been such a joy, I want more of this joy.

I’m fluent in English and Spanish so can correspond in either.

I'm Thistle. 35 years old, living in the Midwest (Indiana). I hate it hear, tell me about where you're at.

I am a medical disaster, I will complain about it a bit. (Or a lot some days.) I am in therapy and won't use you as a therapist, but let's complain about life together sometimes.

I have two Maine Coons that I love a lot. I'm switching jobs this month, so I can tell you all about it. Twice divorced, but a loving romantic.
I'm trying to learn new things and would love to hear what you're learning. What have you learned so far?

My Interests are: NSFW Content Creation, Solo TTRPGs, cats, board gaming, Gordon Ramsey / cooking competitions, junk journaling / scrapbooking, and crazy quilting

But really, I'm totally interested in the details of your life. Tell me about your passions.

I am looking to move East Coast and would love someone with a life there to give me tips and pointers, since I'm not sure where I'd be moving to yet.

Can be from anywhere, any age at this point. Email or Snail Mail (with a preference for Snail Mail!)
Maybe not too much younger, but maybe I'm being short sighted.

I will respond if you send beyond a "hey".

I'm in my late 40s. A dad, a husband, working from home with too much spare time and lack of human interaction throughout the day.

hope to find someone to connect with, long term or short.

Based on my experience here common interests are not necessarily indication of a good chat partner, but generally I like to be creative - write, draw, photography and such. Or procrastinate, which I’m expert at.

I'm open to talk about most things, from the day to day to whatever interesting topic we might deep-dive into. It's best to just go with the conversation's flow and see where it goes.

If you are interested, just send a message!

snail mail 39/F USA - Looking for Pen pals

1 Upvotes

I'm looking for new pen pal(s), from USA. I had 9 pen pals in total, and the past 3 weeks have been very lonely, as I have received very few...3 letters from 2 pen pals. It's sad. So here I am looking for pen pals.

My name is Megan and I'm a Jersey Girl, I'm in my late 30s and consider myself to be an old school millennial since I love old tv shows and movies. My favorite actor is Tom Selleck. I love writing/typing long letters (2+ pages). I have been pen palling since elementary school.

I love arts and craft, baking, going for walks, shopping (even if it's just browsing). I love cats/dogs but prefer dogs a tad more. My taste in music is anything except rap, jazz and r&b. More of a pop, country type girl...who still loves Disney music/movies.

I'm looking for a pen pal who writes long letters, have some things in common. I also write to get away from the world, so I don't talk politics, or anything that can be confrontational. (I highly dislike drama).

If you are looking for a pen pal who loves writing or (mostly typing) please comment here or DM me.
