Looking for new friends. Bored and would love to chat!
Hey all!! Like the title says I’m an engineering college grad student here just looking to meet new ppl. In my free time in enjoy playing basketball, building legos, and recently golf. I also love to watch Formula 1 during my free time. My favorite team is Ferrari (even though they did Sainz dirty) but my favorite driver is probably Lando. Just bored rn so looking to talk to new ppl!!
Hi everyone, i’m here cause I’ve been feeling pretty lonely lately, just looking to make a few friends to have good conversations. I’m 25F wanting to make friends with anyone. I love deep conversations, but I also like goofy banter and good memes! Send me a message if you think we will vibe!
I'll just be blunt. I'm at a whole new level of alone, as a 38 year old male who hasn't been in a relationship or even real friendship for several years. I live in the northeast region of the USA.
My interest are based in photography, gaming, some writing, crafts and model-building. Some newer passions have been botany/gardening and things of that nature (get it? nature?). I like to paint too, even though I am absolutely terrible, but maybe I can work on it. My biggest interest is in photography, in which I enjoy expressing the true beauty of people and the free expression of feminism and body positivity. I do have a wide range beyond that in my work and business, but I tend to appreciate more the sessions in which I feel I am helping someone or providing an actual improvement to their life.
I also do things like build, finish, or paint my own furniture or renovating old furniture. I enjoy all kinds of model sets, building activities, puzzles, etc. I find some type of OCD satisfaction in certain assembling/fixing/building, as you might expect.
For gaming, I am mostly interesting in cooperative or group play, but am not opposed to PVP or Battle Royale situations. I suppose the perfect gaming buddy would have similar gaming styles or moods at whichever times. Current titles have been Far Cry 5, Far Cry 6, Far Cry New Dawn, Fortnite, Lego Fortnite, and for the real nerds, The Division and Ghost Recon Wildlands.
I have a pretty normal job, I may or may not want to talk about it, but my true goal is to provide counseling or social services to those struggling with addiction, mental health conditions, or otherwise at a disadvantage in their lives.
And to quote a recent favorite song, I am hoping for "something extraordinary, something real, to fill my days and night with something that I can feel, I'm not going to compromise, surely you can sympathize, and you feel the same".
I hope you all have an amazing day and that you find someone worth your time and heart. Thank you for reading. :)
I am looking for genuine friendship. Maybe i'll learn something from you and you'll learn something from me. Who knows?
Things I love:
-Metal, rock, house kinda music
-Anime, movies, and shitty reality tv shows (Kitchen nightmares, 90 day fiance, my 600lb life, extreme cheapskates etc.)
-For anime genre; isekai, action, or anything with magic basically
-Started reading manga & manhwa. My first manhwa was solo leveling and it was the best (oh god finally they made into an anime).
-I like sending photos at random times (it could be something i saw on the road or online)
-I also love Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts, Star Wars (recently started and not going well so far).
-I have weird curiosities
-I have random information about many things because i love doing research about random stuff
-I have a small humanmade skull collection such as skull rings, candles, globe etc.
I hope you have similar interests or go wild and be the opposite of me (i have never tried this so it might just work)
I live in EST time zone so similar time zones would be better.
Please send a chat request with introducing yourself a little
Hi! I’m looking for some new friends who would be into regular game and movie nights or just hanging out and chatting.
I play Fortnite, Minecraft, COD, and Lethal Company. I’m always down for Jackbox, poker nights and just chatting too.
As far as movies/tv, I’m a big fan of Star Wars, Harry Potter, LOTR, and Game of Thrones. But open to horror sometimes ha.
If you’re 20+ and want long-term friendship, feel free to reach out! ✌️😁
I could be your new best friend 😀
Hello, I am looking for a best friend for long-term connection, so let me here convince you why you should choose me as your new friend:
* I am chatty and have good vibes and energy.
* I love to talk about all kinds of topics and can always find things to talk about.
* I always reply to my messages and never get bored with my friends and always send good morning messages.
* I will always be here for you to tell me about your day or vent if you have something that bothers you.
* I am always respectful and never disrespect others or step into their discomfort zones.
* I am nerdy and if you are nerdy that's a plus then, if not it is ok we can talk about any other stuff.
* I know I don't get many replies, so I try harder post a lot, and usually get genuine friends, so if you like what you heard so far, let's be friends 😀.
Hello, and welcome!
This ad features bolded portions for those who don't want to dedicate the time without some reassurance it may pay off!
I'm very interested in meeting like-minded folk who believe they have some similarities with me and that we may click. Specifically, I'm seeking a cisgender woman (a preference of mine, even for platonic relations) that's 18 or older from any country and background (who that woman is matters more to me than details of this sort). I'm 34 and male myself, living in the Eastern US. I adore thorough and passionate interactions with a meaningful basis. I dislike trivialities and meaningless expectations.
I want to feel and create a deep bond that's built little by little with every conversation and action. In this way, I'm open to any possible type of relationship with the people I meet here, from acquaintances, to friends, to penpals, to something more intimate. Our connection should develop over time. My ultimate goal is to bond with those I jibe with regardless of where we end up. We'll need to feel out what works best for us and where we want to take things and when. I've experienced everything from becoming very close with someone within the first conversation to remaining very brief with others after weeks. I've enjoyed everything from regular/daily casual texts and banter to several page e-mail penpal exchanges. Let's get creative and go with the flow.
I've also always been the type to want to meet new and interesting people. Lacking similarities has actually opened me and those I met to things we would have never considered before. Some common interests and especially character traits are vital, but completely relating and having everything in common isn't as important as you would think. Knowing what traits matter most comes out in chat and interaction, not a checklist of things to conform to. I've been surprised by who I was able to bond and share with, so I'm open to a lot. I hope you are as well.
I want to make it clear that if whoever is reading this feels like we may have a connection or ability to bond together they should message me. No hesitations or doubts, please. I don't believe in losing potential and being self-defeated before anything even occurred. I've not uncommonly been told I'm patient, kind, and easy to talk to, which I hope is just as true for those I come across here. Should you like or need it, please allow me to soothe your nerves instead of allowing us to suffer from any misunderstandings or difficulties.
More about me and what I'm seeking:
More about my values, passions, and interests:
Are we looking for each other? I'd greatly appreciate a reasonably lengthy chat/message in which you told me what within my ad resonated with you, what you're seeking, and anything else you may want to mention. I would like to get to know people with a level of depth akin to what I wrote here, and will end up asking about these things at some point anyway. I look forward to us chatting and connecting around meaningful and fervid passions.
Hi!! I love meeting new people and making new friends. thought it would be fun to make a prompt for people to message me- tell me what's the craziest thing you've ever done (sfw only please) and if you could travel anywhere where would you go and why? Hopefully it'll be a little icebreaker :
A little about me- I have too many hobbies! I enjoy a variety of things: video games, playing ukulele, building legos, reading (fav genre is thriller!), as well as active activities like swimming and roller skating. If you have any of these things in common with me, or if you don't (I love learning about other peoples hobbies that are different than mine too!) feel free to say hi!

(another day to try to find a real friend)
as the title says for three years I have been living alone without any real friends just acquaintances not because I'm ugly or boring person but I'm little introvert
There is no one I know that I can share my secrets with and so on I wana someone to share my daily life with I'm not writing this to be pathetic or to gain your sympathy I just wana a friend
I honestly don’t have a ton of friends and that’s more just from a lack of social media or life lol. I’m normally very upbeat and happy, goofy, and sort of care free. I’m a mechanic by trade and in my free time I’m normally either fixing up my house or out on the weekends! :)
👋🏼 I’m 26 and from Scotland 🏴 looking to meet new people and hopefully make some new friends
I’m a massive horror fan, I like gaming, true crime, being outdoors/urban exploring, football, generally keeping fit/active and spending 90% of my free time with my dog 🐶 I’m also pretty heavily tattooed, just added a new one and I’m always looking for inspiration or to see other people’s work!
I enjoy meeting new people and learning about others cultures and ways of life, and I’m happy to talk/listen to just about anything
Send me a message with a bit about yourself if you’re interested 😆
Gamer (maybe we can play some games). Love music: rock (BmtH, Hands Like Houses, Linkin Park, etc) Love movies, YT, some TV. Bit socially awkward, but I try. 😅 Love reading sometimes. :) I have recently started enjoying reading in coffee shops and cafes just to get out of the house. Hmu if you're interested and maybe tell me about yourself
Hello to whoever is reading this. My friends are busy with their lives and work and this made me realise I lack friends lol (mostly cause of my social anxiety). Tbh, I’m looking for a long-term friends, someone who won’t ghost. Someone who’s nice and friendly :)
I like anime, tv shows and YouTube. I love Pokemon. I also like to cook even tho I’m not that good but I’m trying lol. I like travelling and exploring new places. My hobbies vary a lot so we probably will find something in common. I like having fun and friendly conversations. And I think I’m a good listener. I’m very awkward so, sorry if I’m bad with replies or slow lol. I probably do want to chat with you.
I’m 21 male from England Kent so I would like to chat someone who is similar age and in the same country and I don’t mind which gender :D
Hmu if interested 😎
Hello everyone! Hope you're all having a good start too you're weekend ❤️ I'm Ryan from the UK!! Anyone down to chat??
Just out here once again looking for some new friends to get to know! I never really have much success on here. People tend to just vanish, never reply again or just give simple replies that you just can't seem to reply to.. Times get lonely 🤷
I enjoy time with my little ones, Photography (some pics on profile), occasionally some gaming and going for walks and as much sleeping as possible! 😊 Feel free to drop a message if you would like to talk? Also use Snap and Discord! 😊 Happy to send a pic if you want one
Hiya, I'm looking for text friends rather than lost marbles, hopefully in the UK, or maybe GMT +1, as transatlantic convos never really work due to time zone differences. Open to anyone, any age/gender. Obviously, I've been around for a while, so I'm totally open minded and can chat about almost anything from the silliest things in the world to the deepest depths of the universe. So, why not give it a go, lets explore, tell me something surprising about you. I'm sure you're out there somewhere !
Hello! Mabuhay! I'm 18 years old from the Philippines and I'm open to everyone. I'm actually gay so I hope you won't mind. I'm just looking for GENUINE friends and chatmates here from other countries. Please only those who don't have ulterior motives I have trauma to people with bad intentions.
Here are some things about me: 1.) I love intellectual talks. 2.) I am looking for international friends coz I also want to practice my English skills. 3.) I love watching movies and series especially those that were released in the early 2000s. 4.) I love listening to music. 5.) I love writing poetry. It's my way of expressing my emotions a d thoughts.
I do face reveal somerimes because it's a sign of mutual trust and sometimes for authentication purposes. But... It okay if you don't want to, I respect it. ☺️ I must warn you that I'm no goodlooking. I just do it to make sure your comfortable with me regardless of my looks. I also have other socials like Facebook, Telegram, WhatsApp, and Instagram that I could give you once I have enough trust to you. I have some stuff there but not that interesting tho. I'm also a good listener. I can listen to your rants and I might give advice if I can.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Hey everyone!
I’m looking to connect with some awesome people and make new friends. I’m all about good conversations, sharing experiences, and having a laugh or two. Whether you’re into tech, movies, music, or just random chats about life, I’m here for it!
Feel free to drop a comment or DM me—let’s get to know each other!
I love to talk and have fun conversations or send pics and talk about favorite interests!!
I have snap and insta
Anyone have any suggestions on what to do
I'm fairly outgoing and love meeting new people, but sometimes it’s hard to find others with similar interests. I'm into binge watching shows, exploring new places, trying out new restaurants, and just having a good time in general.
If you're someone who enjoys deep conversations, fun outings, or simply hanging out, I'd love to chat and see where things go! Let’s connect and maybe plan something fun. Looking forward to meeting new friends!
Hello there, hope everyone’s doing well. My names Blue and I’m 25F. I’m looking for a best friend to talk to daily. I love to read, play video games, and watch movies/tv shows. I love to get to know people and have good conversations about anything and everything.
I’d love to hear from you:)
No friends.
I’m 31M, I gave my friends up a few years back, for self growth and to strengthen my relationship. Sadly indoing so, iv now become a loner. Iv shown interest in getting to know new people, but I never receive any interest back. (It gets hard to not think your the problem)
My partner, she has friends from her yard and work that talk and text all the time.
I get a bit envious over this, as I don’t have anyone to share conversations with.
I wouldn’t say I’m boring in any means, I don’t have kids and work full time. I have various hobbies, nothing I’m too committed to (I’d love to find something I’m passionate about) I go to the gym, like mountain biking, working on cars, exploring lochs, walks, love finding small local pubs out in the middle of nowhere.
I fell like I do try “to get out there” but over the last year iv become a lot more withdrawn and find small talk increasingly difficult. Soon as I start talking to someone I feel the desire to shut it down.
If anyone else has been the same situation and has advice on the matter. It would be much appreciated.
Here’s a few facts about me -420 friendly. (Occasionally) -I mainly speak French, but can speak English too -i listen to rap/hiphop music (Prefer French Music) 🎵 -I love science fiction and paranormal/supernatural but love all other just hate all musical movies
-I have ADHD, Autism spectrum (Asperger), neurological diseases called CMT ( Charcot Marie Tooth) and depression
