Idk pretty boring don’t watch tv game or use social media anymore so that cuts off a lot of options lol.

Like going to the gym baking reading and cooking. And hiking obviously.

Trying to get into more productive hobbies as well but I’m a slow learner.

I’m a white guy 5.10 if that matters just for a vague description 🤷‍♂️

Ask me whatever also down to hear any stories you want to share

Hey there, I’m a 29 year old trans female looking to get back into the dating world. Not wanting to rush into anything, but want to be intentional with the possibility of it being more.

I’m 5’10, Latina, curvy and tatted. Love RnB music, tacos ofc, Kinda a homebody but would love to try new things and open to New experiences! My preferences are Black and Latino kings ages 30+

Hello Fellow Redditors,

I’m a 31-year-old guy, relocated to Austin, and trying to find someone special who vibes with me. I work remotely, so meeting people organically has been a challenge, but I’m hoping this post changes that. I’m all about building a genuine connection, whether that’s over a great conversation or sharing unique experiences.

Here’s what I’m looking for: I’d love to take you out to a brewery or dinner first and really get to know each other. I’m a bit picky, and it’s important that we vibe—chemistry is key! I’m not just looking for someone to fill time with, I want to share thoughtful and meaningful conversations. If you can keep up and enjoy intellectually stimulating talks, that’s a huge plus in my book.

A few things about me:

•	I’m into traveling, live music (Bluses/rock/metal), racquet sports, and Netflix binges (especially true crime).
•	Big fan of poetry, College football and sports in general.
•	Love both spontaneous adventures and quiet, cuddly nights in.
•	I hold family and relationships close.

I’m not putting a bracket on race, ethnicity, or age (as long as it’s legal, of course). But please maintain good hygiene, be easygoing, and open to deeper conversations. Oh, and if cuddling is your thing—hit me up!

If any of this resonates with you, let’s start with some good conversation and see where it goes!

I've been dying to start a book club that meets fairly regularly here in Austin its been a dream since I moved here 5 years ago. I do believe I would enjoy a fiction book club (I'm trying to avoid reality)

Genres I'd prefer we cover is high fantasy, low fantasy, thriller, mystery, horror, sci-fi, and romance! Basically all the bases lol Totally cool with a co-ed book club as well because I think that's how you get more diverse reads. If you're interested please leave a comment or hit me up I'd love to plan this out :)

I know Halloween was last night, but tonight and tomorrow night should count as Halloweekend anyway. I’d love to dress in costumes and maybe get a drink? Or go barhopping? Or find a party? I’m open to anything, just as long as it’s in the spirit of the Holiday.

About me: 6’1”, brown hair, skinny. Open to whatever relationship is waiting, whether platonic, physical, or romantic.

If you’re interested, send me a message with a pic and what you’d dress up as!

Hey there! Just bored and wondering if anyone wants to play a game of 20 Questions with me. I've done this before and it's always been fun. The only rules I have are:

1. Over 18 only;

2. No asking a question that the other person has already asked;

3. We have to truthfully answer any question asked; and

4. No questions that would lead to doxxing.

After 20 questions, we see if we want to keep chatting and possibly meet up or go our separate ways. It's just an entertaining way to know someone a little before deciding if we want to do anything else.

If you're interested, send me a message or a chat with your first question!

I’d like to go to concerts and hang out at more places. I don’t have a car, but I live near Campus. I think it would be cool to just hang out with someone. Maybe smoke and walk around Pease park or something.

Hi there!

I moved to Austin a little over three years ago, now, and I feel like I haven't really seen the city much at all - I've basically been a complete hermit haha. I'm so used to just defaulting to staying at home, which is made worse considering I work remotely. I'd love to get out more and see/try new things and places, and thought it'd be nice to have someone that could perhaps help me break out of my shell in a sense.

As for the 'FWB' part of the post, I got out of a relationship about 1.5 years ago and still haven't felt entirely ready for another serious one. Despite that, sometimes it does get lonely and I miss the affection. Furthermore, I'm relatively inexperienced, sexually - I've wanted to try new things on that front, too, but it'd have to go pretty slowly.

That aside, I'm looking for a cool new friend that I could possibly hang out with regularly and try new restaurants and shops with, or different experiences like escape rooms, arcades, and so on. It doesn't even have to be anything fancy - my idea of clubbing is hitting up Costco, for what it's worth. Nothin' like a romantic candle-lit dinner at the Costco food court.

Whether it be a simple walk/hike, a humble late-night Target or Taco Bell run, an actual run, playin' some couch co-op games, or anything else - I'm likely open to it! Finally, while an 'FWB' would be nice, I would also be open to 'strictly friends' as I really am prioritizing the 'friend' part here - I need some motivation to try new things and get out of my comfort zone. I wouldn't want to miss out on a cool person just 'cause of hormones haha.

#A bit about me:

##Hobbies

• I have lots of little hobbies like sports (basketball, tennis, Formula 1), martial arts, gaming (League of Legends, RuneScape, PS5/Switch), anime, reading/writing, perfumery, learning new languages (currently trying to learn a bit of Portuguese), electric skateboarding, and more! I'm sure that might make me seem like a super busy person, but I'm truly not haha - I just get passionate about lots of things. I'm bound to take an interest in your hobbies, too!

##Looks

• I'm white, 6'3", with short black hair and hazel eyes. I'm rockin' dark green, rounded glasses; kinda like Harry Potter. Some new, clear glasses are en route from Warby Parker, though, so I won't be a wizard for much longer.

##Location and Availability

• I'm located in North Austin/Cedar Park, and am free most weeknights and weekends. I'm pretty flexible with my availability, and wouldn't mind making a bit of a drive if you seem super cool!

Thanks for taking the time to read my post! If anything caught your eye, feel free to reach out and say hi! Or, you can even reach out if you need to vent/rant about somethin' - I'm a great listener haha. If I'm not your cup of tea, no worries! Hope everyone has a great weekend. :)

Hey everyone!

I recently moved to Austin from Buffalo, NY after graduating and I wanna find a desi friends group to chill in Austin.

I'm into sports and I'm a foodie. I enjoy playing basketball, pickleball (need a partner lol), bouldering and I really wanna start learning Tennis.

I haven't explored Austin much and would love to try out different restaurants and the hidden gems. I currently work near W Parmer Ln.

Also, it would be really Awesome if I can find a gym partner at Lifetime fitness in North Austin.

I'm a complete open book, enjoy a good banter, and love trying different things from hiking to cafe hoping and everything in between. Lemme know if I can join a group and make friends:)

ok, look.. i’m trying to figure out if i should just give up or push through the crap.

i just want to meet someone awesome who wants to get to know me and not just rush to the physical (though if the chemistry’s there, that’s cool too).. does anyone want to grab coffee and see where it goes?

bonus points if:

• you like cats
• you like cuddling/spooning/hugs
• you’re funny/kind
• you want to get to know a great person, though i may be slightly dorky
• you like tattoos (it’s ok if you don’t have any, i have a ton though)

serious inquiries feel free to send me a message. good day. (i said good day!)

I'm a black nerdy dude here in Austin, looking for a fun nerdy girl.

About me:

Im 6.2

Dad bod

A physics student at ACC

I live by myself at my apartment

I game

Love anime and horror movies

I don't own a car just yet, I take the busses everywhere

I don't really care watch you look like, short, tall, skinny, small, BBW, whatever! Let's talk and lets go out. Just be normal, and be fun. (Although I do like BBWs a lot!) One of the best ways I can describe myself is think of me as a black guy version of Sheldon Cooper from big bang theory! Benzinga! All I need now is my Amy! Let's talk, let's meet, and lets go out.

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. :)

I am realizing that I am different than the collective. This internet thing is causing me to feel like I can't connect with people and I may just have to be brave enough to say F this lol and just walk in a crowded space and go "Does anyone want to flirt and have a great chill vibe with fun and adventure? I can bake cookies." (If you like oatmeal raisin you will have to bake your own 😂). I actually want to get off my phone and meet others. No I don't want to sit at home every single day and play Fortnite. I want to hang out and learn about each other's lives and have experiences that we go "oh man this is amazing!! We need to do this again!! Add it to the list cause we are already booked" lol. 🤣🤣 I ACTUALLY do stuff. Randomly went Boston last week just because I wanted to go to somewhere that looked like fall 😂. I'm not afraid to save money and go and do shit. My favorite quote "Just do the thing!!"

If you are down for fun and positive vibes I'm your girl! I don't care about what has happened to you in the past. You are you and I am me.. and we are in this together! We are humans and we want connection. Hell sometimes need the connection. I need that flirty banter back and forth where we tease each other and make fun of each other for being all into one another.. yeah that, give me that 😂

I am not going to sit here and go 'my favorite color is this.. my favorite food is this'. I don't have an awesome resume for other humans. Infact... let's start off with "what is your biggest fear in life" message me that if you have read this far. I enjoy conversation but don't make my back hurt even worse than it already does..by having me carrying the conversation. If you have nothing to say, SKIP ME. I also seek a person with no drama.... even partners. If you can't be open with yourself and your partner(s) ...SKIP ME. I don't do APs! (Affair partners for those in the back lol ) Yes I am poly! If that is not okay with you, skip me. Don't try to trauma bond with me, Skip me. If you never ever want to meet in person, skip me. Lol. IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT....SKIP ME. Psss..1) if you are interested I would suggest looking up the word neurodivergent/Neurospicy and 2) dont just comment. I probably won't respond. Just DM. Just do the thing! 🤣

I got interested in BJJ and found a few gyms in north austin that look like they'll work out great. Both gi and no gi options. Daily classes around 6 or 7p. I'm looking to start later this week and probably go 2-3x a week. Since I'm brand new, it'd be nice to have someone else brand new join me for the experience. Anyone interested?

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 all that 2024 has left to offer while we decide! Only 2 months to go 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 try a corn maze or pumpkin patch if it's cool enough outside? 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.

I posted in a poly sub looking for a throuple/triad because I'm curious about being in one. I've never been in one nor have I ever been in a poly relationship. I've been 100% monogamous all my life. I'm merely curious about it. Apparently merely being curious about it disqualifies me from even talking to a fair number of women. So be it, I guess. This doesn't mean I'm solely looking for anything poly related. Just means I'm open to exploring it. I'm mainly looking for a partner. If she happens to be poly then that's ok. If she's not, then that's ok too. I keep getting people judging me for posting in the poly sub as if I'm only looking for that. I'm not. Just thought I'd clarify my experience and what I'm looking for in that regard. (For the record I'm 100% ok with being monogamous)

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?

Looking for a casual partner for Alamo Lakeline dates. 38 M trying to re-live teens and early 20s. I like Fantasy, sci fi, dramas and all with a side of cuddles and kisses.

I have very little hope here.. but worth taking a shot I guess

I’m 25 6ft and athletic build. Looking to make something happen today. I’m down to meet up in public for drinks and/or food to feel out the vibes then we go from there. Please no single males I am not bisexual.

Bi guy here and trying to expand my circle of friends. Lots of friends are moving and some are also getting engaged/married so looking to meet some new guys. I’m really wanting to explore and be comfortable with hanging out nude at home and would want to meet someone that also enjoys doing that. I live alone and just north of the domain so there’s also lots of things to do nearby. In a perfect world, we hang out naked, drink some beers, watch some football games or a race (been watching F1 for over 10 years now) and just shoot the shit (nothing sexual has to come out of this unless something comes up). Preferably interested in guys around my age for compatibility or older but definitely open to all! I used to have a friend that I’d do this and it worked out great until he moved away with his fiancée.

Besides what’s mentioned, I’m a typical corporate guy Monday through Friday. None of my friends know I’d be open to doing this. I’m Latin, hairy and beefy (used to play rugby and lacrosse in college). I’m pretty easy going and can chat about anything.

Howdy again! It’s been a while since I last posted but I’m still looking. I'm a 4'11, soft, tatted, and pierced entrepreneur looking for someone to spend time with when l'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, 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 :)

It’s been longer than I’d like to admit since my last major relationship. I love meeting new people and casual hookups can definitely be fun, but I think I’m done going on dates purely for lust. I’d love to get to know someone and develop a real relationship based on trust, similarities, and chemistry. I know Reddit is a strange place to look, but stranger things have happened. Here are 27 [M4F] #Austin, Texas; Tired of casual dating/sex, would like something real.

I’d love to get to know someone and develop a real relationship based on trust, similarities, and chemistry. I know Reddit is a strange place to look, but stranger things have happened. Here are some of my favorite first date ideas: -Get coffee/tea and walk around a bookstore together. -Try a new restaurant that neither of us have been to. -Find a densely packed bar street and barhop.

About me: 6’1”, brown hair, white, a bit on the skinnier side but getting back into the gym. Working at a tech startup (the most stereotypical Austin job lol). In my spare time I like to read, write, watch movies and tv, some video games, cook, and explore restaurants/bars around the city. Although I don’t have a very refined palette, I’d like to consider myself a beginner-foodie.

About you: I don’t really have any prerequisites for who I’m looking for. As long as you treat people (and animals) well, I’m not someone who is going to look down on another person for their job, income, etc.

Hi y’all! I’ve been in Austin for about a year and a half now and, though I have lots of friend groups and do lots of fun stuff, miss having a “best friend”. I’ve moved states quite a bit in the last few years and am finally settled in Austin, I’ll probably be here a while - hoping I can find that one on one connection again!

About me:

• I am AFAB but identify as genderfluid. She/he/they pronouns all work for me. More confident about that label as time goes on but still definitely on my gender/sexuality journey.
• I love animals and have 2 cats and a dog! I volunteer at APA whenever I can.
• I love to act and have been focusing on it more recently. I’m in a class and am going to be in a short film this weekend!
• I enjoy being outdoors. Hiking, geocaching, or just laying outside drawing are all things I do whenever I can.
• I watch a LOT of movies, specifically horror movies. Proud Alamo draft house member here. Having a LetterBoxd account is a huge plus haha.
• I like to go out occasionally, but definitely prefer a cute themed cocktail bar to a club (although I’m not against it).

I feel like there’s so much more to say! I’m a person who likes a lot of things, if I seem interesting to you please reach out <3

Hey everyone. 36(trans)M here looking for friends in Austin. I’m a natural introvert but enjoy trying new things and getting out of my comfort zone. Some interests: video and board games, movies, reading, trying to teach myself the guitar (somewhat unsuccessfully), bouldering, paddle boarding, riding motorcycles, hiking, seeing live music (all kinds), finding good coffee shops… etc

Also, I have an extra ticket to the Dashboard Confessional concert this Saturday (my high school self will be thrilled) and would love to have someone join me.

Anyway, hope everyone has been having a good week! Reach out if you’d be interested in hanging!

I'm a 35m looking for a cute girl to go to FreakyDeaky, the big EDM festival this weekend! Deadmau5, Apashe, and like 30 other EDM artists will be there. Either day or both, would love to have a good time together! Is anyone interested?

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 mire talking than me. Secretly wants to be obsessed with their partner.

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.

Evening! Looking for a date to the opening of the museum of the moon this Thursday at the domain Northside. Let's make our evening unforgettable by immersing ourselves with the enchanting atmosphere, exploring the breathtaking art, and enjoying the live music for the perfect ambiance.

Let's chat ahead of the event to plan!

Just thought I'd clarify my experience and what I'm looking for in that regard. (For the record I'm 100% ok with being monogamous)

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?

Hi! I go between Austin and Killeen and was looking to talk and go on some dates in the area and see what comes out of it. Ideally something more long-term/serious, but I'm not set on anything (not really into hookups, thanks).

About me: I'm 22 and I go to school for forensics. I like to play games (board games, video games, dnd, etc.), watch horror movies, go thrifting (I'm really into fashion/style), try new coffee/tea places, write, skate and take hikes/walks.

I'm 6'1, skinny, tan skin, curly brown hair to my shoulders, brown eyes, and I usually dress more alternative/dark.

I'd say for my personality, I'm down-to-earth but quite social, curious/adventurous, open-minded, creative, and just generally easy-going and fun-loving. I'm an ENFP and my love language is quality time.

If I seem interesting, dm me and tell me about yourself!

currently struggling in the friend department rn, and it'd be nice to have someone to talk with. Just for background on me i'm 21 female but i'm also trans. Iv'e lived in Austin for 3 years but its still difficult trying to find connection. I am honestly a bit introverted and shy, but on the bright side very loyal, so hopefully that makes up for it lol. If interested in getting to know me just send a message.

Heyy,

I’m a 31-year-old guy, relocated to Austin, and trying to find someone special who vibes with me. I work remotely, so meeting people organically has been a challenge, but I’m hoping this post changes that. I’m all about building a genuine connection, whether that’s over a great conversation or sharing unique experiences.

Here’s what I’m looking for: I’d love to take you out to a brewery or dinner first and really get to know each other. I’m a bit picky, and it’s important that we vibe—chemistry is key! I’m not just looking for someone to fill time with, I want to share thoughtful and meaningful conversations. If you can keep up and enjoy intellectually stimulating talks, that’s a huge plus in my book.

A few things about me:

•	I’m into traveling, live music (Bluses/rock/metal mostly), racquet sports, and Netflix binges (especially true crime).
•	Big fan of poetry, College football and sports in general.
•	Love both spontaneous adventures and quiet, cuddly nights in.
•	I hold family and relationships close.

I’m not putting a bracket on race, ethnicity, or age (as long as it’s legal, of course). But please maintain good hygiene, be easygoing, and open to deeper conversations. Oh, and if cuddling is your thing—hit me up!

If any of this resonates with you, let’s start with some good conversation and see where it goes!
