Decided last minute that I want to attend Anime Frontier in Fort Worth, but also realized that driving 5 hours round trip alone sounds brutal. None of my friends are into anime/cosplay enough to come with, so I’m resorting to reddit to find people who might be interested. If you’d like to come along for the ride, I’d love to have you! And if you’d have a group, even better because there will be less chance of an awkward silence! If you’re interested, send me a message with a pic (SFW, PLEASE) and a short intro. Not that I’m going to be combing through these messages to see who I like the most, but because I need to be able to gauge how well we’d get along if we’re going to be in the car for so long. Quick about me section: 6’1”, brown hair, skinny. Considering cosplaying but don’t have enough time to go all out, so I’m open to suggestions. Favorite anime are Eden of The East, Kotaro Lives Alone, Summer Wars, A Silent Voice, and Hitman Reborn. Most excited to see “The Gundam Base” in-person.

Hi! I am looking for a fellow food lover to go explore some of the cities best new places with. Obviously enjoy some good company, pair it with some wine tastings, a cocktail and explore the city. I also seek that good conversation and witty banter as they say on all our favorite trash tv shows. I love sports, music, stand up comedy, learning about you, and basically just making a friend! I am 5"10 with a well-kept beard, shaved head, athletic build, pale skin tone, lovely smile if I do say so myself (Shout out to my orthodontist) and Ive been told I have a cute dimple. :) Anyway, throwing this out into the reddit world. lets see what happens!

Hi there! I’m planning an exciting road trip to San Antonio, South Padre Island, and nearby gems this weekend, and I’d love some fun, adventurous company to make the journey even more memorable.

If you enjoy exploring beautiful places, sharing good vibes, and maybe swapping travel stories over some great food, let’s connect! I’m happy to meet up earlier this week to vibe-check and plan together.

Whether you’re into scenic spots, beach strolls, or just love spontaneous adventures, this could be a weekend to remember. DM me if you’re interested—I’d love to hear from you!

I'm making this post in the hope of finding a partner to be my person for a LTR or if you are averse to something serious, we can talk about any other labels/avenues/ideas you have or are open to. We don't have to be alone lol. Let's enjoy what 2024 has left to offer while we decide! We're on the last month sadly. I'm down to grab a cider or hot chocolate in some quaint small out of the way town. Who doesn't want to enjoy some hot beverage while browsing through some old shops (sample some fudge in a general store and grab some old-fashioned whatchamacallit) with some light hand holding? Ooooh maybe a kiss? Maybe go watch some lights or explore some Christmas festival if it's cold enough outside? This is literally my favorite time of the year! I'm always down for some adventure. lol

To start I have to disclose that I mainly like women, but I also like a very, very, very specific type of guy and certain trans men as I'm partially bi. (I'd rather be upfront about it as it's been a dealbreaker for most women in the past for some reason) Chances are you aren't that type but feel free to ask if you are. (Didn’t want to offend anyone so I’d rather say in private) Just throwing that out there as it's a deal breaker for most women in general. Which why would it be? The number one reason I get is I'm going to cheat on them with a guy if we were to date. As if being bi has any bearing on cheating and not the person's character.

I'm a 36-year-old guy living in the middle-ish of Texas looking for a female partner. Partner as in LTR. That's Long-Term Relationship meaning boyfriend and girlfriend and holding hands type of stuff. You know, adult things? I had someone comment I was too vague, so this is me being specific. I'm gonna be honest and kinda sad so bear with me.

So, I've spent the past two New Years alone. Rang in this one just like last New Years in bed staring at the ceiling listening to fireworks go off into the night. The next day I cried randomly while browsing for a movie to watch on TV. At first, I didn't know why as I'm not much of a crier/feeling's person, but I realized for the first time that I genuinely felt alone. I have no partner, no family that I speak to, no friends just acquaintances, really no one there for me. That's my own doing which took years to accomplish through me being closed off and just shutting people out, so I figure it might take just as long to fix. I'm not complaining as I got myself into this predicament. It's gonna sound dumb but I wanted a New Years kiss. I'd never had one and it seemed like a fun dumb silly thing to do. Eh maybe one day. Ok well back to my spiel. (I'm not depressed or anything or wanting attention) Some of my hobbies and interests are movies, reading, cooking, kayaking, records, video games, board games, snorkeling, bowling, swimming, escape rooms, puzzles and antiquing. I would describe myself as more goofy and dorky than nerdy. I like to go out and do fun things but also stay in and cuddle and relax. I guess it depends on my mood and the weather. I prefer the cold and would love to live in a state with actual seasons and snow. I'm 5'10, stocky AKA fat and open for adventure and new experiences.

Here are some random facts about me:

Some of my favorite bands are: The Black Keys, Kings of Leon, The Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival and The White Stripes.

Christmas is my favorite holiday, mainly because of the cold and festive activities. (Seriously let's go do some festive activities!)

I come from a medium-ish family.

I'm exceptionally patient but every person has a breaking point lol

I like traveling a lot. It's a basic thing that lots of people like. But I've found lots of people hate to leave their house, town or state so if that's you we probably might not be a good match. I also enjoy the mountains. But I don't like roughing it (give me that sweet AC in the summer). Hiking is so hard on my knees, and I haven't done it in a while that if I were to, I think about doing it I'd about die or twist a cankle.

I don't eat seafood, mushrooms, artichokes or pineapple on pizza (Who cares about this? Doesn't mean I won't go to a restaurant with you that has these things)

Never went to college as I'm horrible in a classroom setting and at taking tests. (I'm slowly bettering myself)

I used to have probably the most boring job imaginable (Ask me about it)

Overweight but trying to work on it and make better choices (Get healthier and lose weight together maybe?) Slowly getting there!

Non-religious but no issue with what you believe. (If anything)

Looking into sterilization. If you are already maybe you can give me some info or tips?

My own red flags 🚩

I work too much and oftentimes can't talk.

I send selfies often. I'm a visual person and like receiving photos. Apparently, it's a generational thing. Hopefully you think pictures are neat as well? Is it really that weird to want to see you and your life and show you mine?

I sometimes speedily become attached to people, not in a weird way, but if I like you and we have some kind of connection, I will enjoy talking to you and want to do it often.

I'm a very organized person and will plan out pretty much anything from a vacation to a road trip to a birthday. This makes being with a go with the flow type of person hard at times I've learned but still very much doable.

Due to childhood trauma I'm secretive which can be annoying.

MY own "HELL YES" 🏁

I know how to cook.

I will always drive if you want. (Within reason)

Great at escape rooms and jigsaw puzzles.

Can read a map and follow directions.

Decent at reading backwards upside-down writing.

What I'm looking for:

Is my age or older. But I'm willing to go quite a bit lower if you are neat and we have stuff in common. But super young isn't my goal here.

Mature, considerate, responsible and funny (Dorky wouldn't hurt)

Someone who never cheats, honesty and trust are important to me.

Someone who is open-minded, willing to try new things, be adventurous, funny and nerdy.

Someone who believes in sharing household chores equally because we are both adults.

Be open and frank about issues you or I are having. Not pushy or jealous. Won't yell or argue about stupid things, I've had enough of that.

Willing to push me to become a better version of myself (Can you turn me into Batman?)

If this sounds like you then feel free to reach out and say hi or challenge me to a game of Scrabble/Pictionary/hand to hand combat maybe? Maybe Wordle or some online vidya game?

P.S. I realize my post isn't for everyone but if you're seeing red flags from my post then I'd say trust your gut and please don't message me as we probably aren't compatible. I honestly don't mean that in a mean or hurtful way. I've just been messaged quite often with women saying they pushed aside red flags to get to know me. Please don't, it never ends well, and you end up wasting both of our time. Wouldn't you rather spend it finding your person with no flags?

I know this is super specific, but I’m looking for a woman between 25-60 who loves wearing leather pants and going to movies (Alamo/Regal, etc)! This is just a fun activity, nothing more than that, but something that is so specific that it’s hard to make happen.

Don’t have leather pants? We can figure it out!

Down to see any type of movies except like kids/animated movies. I like most horror, drama, and action movies!

I’m an educated, in shape/athletic, employed, pretty good looking guy, but again, I’ve had trouble finding this situation and figured I’d give this a shot.

Hope someone is out there who gets it! :)

I have cut down on drinking a lot but I still like to go out on weekends and have a good time. I have found that couple glasses of wine with some good food to be the perfect balance for myself. I am looking for someone who's interested in checking out different wine bars on the weekend and have conversations on topics of mutual interests. If this sounds interesting DM me and we can figure out the details.

Nerdy 35 yr old homebody introvert that likes to play any kind of game though I mostly play on PC. Some of my other hobbies are: Watching Sumo, Learning Japanese on Duolingo, & Scrolling through youtube/tiktok. Physically I am 285 pounds, 5'11" and no tats (kinda want one thought).

Would like to find someone that wants to put our gaming set ups together. Doesn't mind that I would probably fall asleep while binge watching shows and maybe nap in their lap. Does more talking than me. Secretly wants to be obsessed with their partner. Some what of a degenerate << >>

I will want to take it slow to learn about you and your hobbies/interests. Makes giving gifts better.

Not a lot of experience being in a relationship so I'm nervous but if interested send me a message

Hey! I know there are probably a fair number of folks out there who are spending the holidays alone this year. I don't have any family in town and am house-sitting and would love to find someone with similar interests (or really anyone that qualifies as good company!) to spend time with today on Thanksgiving or sometime over this weekend!

I work as a farm manager and in my free time love cooking and baking, so the holidays are especially sad for me if I have no one to share my love of food with! I also really love reading/writing, working on motorcycles, and animals, but also just love having a chill time vibing out with the pets and having a relaxing evening in the hot tub!

If this sounds like something you'd be into, hmu! Not looking for hookups/dating or anything specific, just quality people to share some quality time with no expectations except good food and good company!

Hello, I am looking for a woman preferably in my age range I can grab dinner with once a week. You can call it a date or whatever you want but I don't expect it to be romantic. I struggle greatly talking to strangers, especially women and would like to be better at having one on one conversations. I figure social skills are like a muscle, you have to work them to get stronger. I am interested in a wide range of topics and am very open to learning new things about topics. If you often times don't have anything better to do on a Tuesday night than to try a new restaurant and don't mind an awkward conversation hit me up!

Hiii I’m posting again since I haven’t had much luck. I'm a 4'11, soft, tatted, and pierced entrepreneur looking for someone to spend time with when I'm not working on my business. Hoping to eventually move on to something more but not very fast. I love live music, nature, animals, the macabre, and just cute tiny things. I'm autistic so that can make communicating with others more difficult sometimes but overall my friends would describe me as funny, caring, and charming :3 I'm looking for someone who is caring, gentle, funny, enjoys animals, enjoys driving, non judgmental, preferably also tatted and pierced but it's not a dealbreaker.

Hard Nos for me are: married, children under the age of 5, huge beards (I have sensory issues), can't host, or if you’re only looking for short term

If you've made it this far I hope you send me a chat with a little bit about yourself and your best selfie :)

Messages that just say hey, what up, pic?, etc will be ignored. I want to make a genuine connection with someone so effort is really appreciated.

So on the road that so many of us travel to self-exploration, I do believe that I’m turning into a hypergamous. For all the wonderful men out there that won’t read it please don’t bother to send me a few sentences trying to gain my attention. I teach people how to have higher excessive function skills. I have the expectation that you will take some time to craft a well-thought-out response.

A little about myself I'm a burned-out ex-gifted and talented student with a praise kink. I'm a nuro-spicy self-aware individual who truly enjoys the deep workings of individuals. I tend to ask lots of questions and research things I don’t know. I hold 2 master's degrees so to say I'm wildly smart is an understatement. My friends describe me as a sophisticated, sassy, witty over-achiever. I agree with them. 

My vision for this coupling would be to be the girlfriend you always wanted. I want to listen to your job, laugh at your jokes, and offer sound advice if you would like it. Your other partner is not a problem for me but I will ask you deep questions because I’m interested to understand the way that you think.

I'm currently looking for someone to enhance my enjoyment in life. I'm hoping that you can help. I would like to meet someone 40 or older who is looking for / open to casual dating (Married/long-term relationships and Ethical Non-Monogamy, Vanilla are welcome) Happy to be a lovely date. And at the same time, we get to know each other.

Are you a smart, well-educated, driven corporate individual with the capacity to communicate both in writing and in person and capable of having deep, reflective conversations?

Are you looking for someone to send you flirty but tasteful text but respect that we are both working?

Do you have horrible luck on dating sites?

Are you interested in going out for coffee/ watching movies/ cooking food/ and also having sex? ( Not opposed to a platonic relationship or a 70/30 Friends/ benefits split)

If you answered yes to most of the above my DM’s are open. Please take some time to craft a well-thought-out response. (This is a reiteration that means I’m serious) All wyd, sup, lets fuck will be ignored and blocked.

Last time I posted, I kept getting creeps wanting to cheat on their wives, looking to flirt to get their sad boners going.

Knock that shit off, man.

I'm 36, seeking new friends that might be music obsessed, into retro things, tattoos, horror movies and such, into game/movie nights, accepting and patient of my autism and recovery from PTSD.

If it matters, I'm super tall and chubby so I love pizza and nachos and all the yummy things lol. I'm gothy, punky, ghetto-walmart-mommy, a bit of everything.

I sadly don't drive but am still able to travel thanks to Uber and busses, yay! Lol

I'm ready to go see a movie, grab some food, go to an arcade. I am not here to have shallow interactions nor to service anyone. I'm open to a natural evolution or development only after actually knowing someone for a while- you know, like back in the day? But truly, I'm really wanting to see about some new friends 🤞🏽

Anyways, if you're down to be friends with a funky tall music loving artistic person; come at me. Don't bring disrespect. Thanks!

Hey, this has been my recent obsession because of rock bands I’ve been listening to lately🤣 I’m looking for some hot talented men to teach me how to play either the guitar, the drums or both. I’ll pay if you’re really an instructor.

Added bonus if you have a bunch of tattoos. I’m a very visual girl. I have a few myself. I’m about 5’8”, medium length dark hair, brown skinned lady, small frame/fit and I love metal.

Message me if this is you!

Hi all! I'm English. Ex military now I have my own mobility coaching business and I'd love to get to know people who are into sports and fitness! I'd really love to find a soccer team. Not too fussed on skill level!

Thanks so much

Dave and busters is my happy place where I usually go destroy all the machine and win all the jack pots but I need a partner ! Perks - free food Free games ‘Almost’ Anything in the prize store you want!

The only thing I ask is a ride because my skateboard is my car but obviously the most important thing is that you can be fun and edgy about it all!

North or south Austin, doesn’t matter to me~

A little bit about me in a nutshell, I work full time game developer at home and is a subject of my sphinx cat.

Hit me up!

Hey everyone!

I’m 26F looking to connect with some like-minded people who are into shooting and firearms. I love to spend time at the range and am hoping to find some friends who enjoy the same hobby. It would be great to have some company for range days or start maybe a monthly meet up. I’m also interested in learning more about different firearms, shooting techniques, and general gun safety. If you’re knowledgeable about guns or just enjoying spending time at the range, let’s connect! I’m open to all experience levels- whether you’re seasoned shooter or just starting out (like me) I’d love to hear from you! Feel free to drop a comment or message directly if you’re interested in meeting up or chatting! Looking forward to meeting some new range buddies!

Hey there,

I am a 24M german student and I am doing a part of my masters program here in Austin.
I will stay for 2 months - till end of Januaray - and hope to find some friends to do stuff here in Austin but to travel in the US, since it is my first time in the US.
Since I am here over christmas

My current - somehow vague - travel plans are:
- hiking/backpacking here in Texas, but since I don't know the country I really will not do this alone
- visiting Houston, primarily because of the NASA Space Center, as I am an astro physicist, that's somehow mandatory
- going for one longer trip somewhere in the US, maybe visiting another big city like NYC, LA or San Francisco

On the other hand, I like to hang out with friends, playing board games, playing pool and darts in a bar, cook together or go eating... doing normal stuff ^^

If you are interested, just write me a pm or comment here :)
looking forward to your responses

Edit: I am NOT looking for a sexual relationship in any way... I thought it was clear from the text 🙃

I’m (F) looking for anyone that likes to go tent camping. I have done some solo camps before. Now I’m looking to see if anyone would like to join. Looking for anyone between 30-50 male or female or really whatever. Lives in Central Texas. Doesn’t have to be super fit. I work out regularly but not a fitness junkie. I plan on doing some long hikes while camping. Figured we could chat and see if we are good fit before we spend time alone and realize we can’t stand each other. Maybe I can start a group that hits different national parks as a check off?

To clarify im looking for more feminine friends, but im open for more! i have a very fun personality and want to be able to be myself around others without feeling judged. i love all kinds of things! like movies, video games, music, anime, and i can go on :) pls reach out if you’d like to know more.

(ps mtf pre hrt) looking for similar

29 regular guy. I work hard and respect women . Born and raised austinite . Got two tickets but my brother had to bail. Would love to meet someone and show them to a good time! No expectations obviously, hopefully we click but if we don’t I’d be no less happy with making a new friend! Holler if you’re interested and let’s chat! :)

Tale as old as time. Looking to play some d&d! I'm the forever DM, but I've been itching to play. Also, exhausted of being the person who coordinates the group all the time... One-shots preferred to see if we're a good fit, then possibly a campaign, but whatevs. I'm in northmost Austin. I love roleplay, and I'm happy to bring props and snacks.

Hey everyone!

I’m a 28-year-old gay male who just moved to Austin from Idaho, and I don’t know anyone here yet. I’m looking to make friends in both the gay and straight communities who are down to hang out and explore the city.

A bit about me: I love bowling, playing pool, gaming on my PS5, Sunday fundays with mimosas or beers, and hosting or joining game nights. I’m all about good vibes, laughs, and making awesome memories.

If you’re into any of the same things or just feel like grabbing a drink and showing a newcomer around, let’s connect! Drop a comment or DM me—I’d love to meet some amazing people here.

Hey there!

Thanks for take the time to read this little blurb. I’m looking for someone who isn't looking to rush into anything but take the time to learn about each other. We can start to chat online to see if there is a connection, then progress from there.

• Enjoys movies, going bowling, but enjoys staying in as well. I'm not a bar/live music person, sorry.

Hi! I’m (32F) a late dx’ed autistic woman looking to connect with other women like me! (also lgbtqia friendly) I know the spectrum is broad, so to narrow it down:

• I relate most to the influencer Highs and Los https://www.instagram.com/highs.and.los?igsh=MWt4OWFmaWJmeTc0cQ==

• I‘ve been listening to the Demystifying Magic podcast lately

• I’m into meditation, reiki, south baths, etc.

• My special interest is psychology and psychoanalysis

• I like to go dancing (two step, salsa, swing, etc)

Anyone out there who relates to this and is interested in connecting??

Looking for platonic friendship only

I don't drink, smoke, vape or do any drugs. I am looking for a woman that wants a relationship and does not smoke or vape. I love trying new things from food to places I have never been to. I like Fantasy, Sci-fi, Action, Horror, Anime TV shows and movies. I am very open-minded and accepting. I am a PC gamer and also play a lot of different table top RPG's. Looking forward to talking with you and thank you for your time reading this post.

Happy Almost Friday! I am Hoping to meet someone cool and chill on here who is down with talking about a wide array of topics. I like sports as I used to play some football in college, but any gal who is interested in sports is a great thing to me! I like whiskey, but I also like drinking in general haha. I can talk for days about music...lots of music. I really love sharing playlists and new artists! Netflix shows and Foooood as I am writing this I am realizing im quite basic, but I think I can make the convo interesting! As far as the FWB thing goes. Connecting first is most important and bedroom stuff after. I am still a gentleman afterall. :)
