25/M/UK - Join me on a walk through the city?

Hey, I'm Arthur!

As the title describes, I'm about to go on a walk through my city and would be down for a voice call during it. Can even show you some sights if you're down. Feel free to send me a text even if you can't call!

I recently turned 25 and am a trainee lawyer in the UK. My interests are quite diverse, suppose I can list a few below:

- Board games;

- Ballroom dancing (latin and classical);

- Books (huge fan of Stephen King and Robert Harris, also enjoy non-fiction veering into philosophy);

- Exercising (Hiking, gym, kayaking);

- MBTI (ENTJ here);

- Movies (most any genre, but have a soft spot for thrillers and horrors - let me know if you've seen a House that Jack Built!); and

- Video Games (I've grown up with video games, chances are I probably love the same ones you play)

Shoot me a message!

M24, Europe, anyone wants to chat?

Hey, I'm Alex, a 24-year-old guy, based in Europe. My passions include immersing myself in diverse music genres, exploring new destinations, and staying active with sports. Fluent in 3 languages, I bring a smart and engaging presence to conversations.

However, don't let that fool you - I'm equally drawn to the allure of wild and crazy stories that ignite the imagination.

If you're up for a chat, don't hesitate to slide into my DMs. But wait, there's more! You can also find me on Discord, where the potential for engaging conversations is boundless. I'm eagerly looking forward to crossing paths and diving into delightful discussions. See you in my direct messages! ❤️

24m looking for something platonic.

Well here’s a short intro: I moved to a new country a while ago and I still struggle making new friends so this is my attempt meeting someone online. I feel like I'm in a strange stage where I don't feel so much connected with my old friends and also I don't have time or maybe energy to put efforts into making new friends irl. But this doesn't change the fact that i end up feeling very isolated and i feel the need to express. I do journal when i need to clear my head but I'm still looking for someone that I can share everyday things, etc (preferably someone with the same timezone i.e GMT+1). Well other than that, In my free time i like going on long walks, i like cooking, hiking, reading!

Wants an annoying clingy person🗣️

I don't care about what you look like, what your race is, what your sexuality is, etc... Genuinely looking for a friend that i could chat with almost everyday. I would love it if you're talkative idk if what your saying to me is boring or doesn't make sense! Preferably want someone with the same humor and not another guy trying to flirt😭.

Yo I’m piloting the biggest aircraft of my life rn but it’s so high up so if I take a break and it falls a lil it’ll be aight. Uh first, I’m a 21M and I just looking for some online friend’s to play some games with here n there. I got a ps5, switch and a pc and I’m pretty open minded in trying any game so boom. Some other facts about me are that I LOVE music. My Spotify wrapped was actually eye popping and I got some guitars even tho ima beginner. I’ve been listening to a lot of rock lately like Led Zeppelin, cream, Hendrix etc, but I’m really open any genre. I dabble in some drawing here n there. 🍃 smoker. Uh I also feel like I can hold a conversation somewhat well but I’m open to a challenge. I also prefer a EST time zone but any time zone in the US will work. And last but not least if you seen this, reference “gabba goo” at any time during our chat. Stay frosty.

22F. Are you hungry? I just made brownies.

They are still warm :)

I’m just looking for friends right now and nothing more. Please provide a short intro if you decide to DM. An “hi” or “hey” is kinda dry? lol

About me: I’m a 22 years old Latina girl from the U.S. I find pleasure in taking care of my hair, nails, mind and body. You could say I’m pretty girly. I wouldn’t call myself an introvert, but I enjoy my space. I love being surrounded by water, during vacations I stay at the beach all day! I like having independence, being intelligent, taking pride in my skills, not feigning incompetence, listening to my body's needs, having as much fun as I need to satisfy my hunger, being bare-faced, wearing comfortable clothes just as much as wearing heels. I love going out for night walks and the feeling of the summer breeze on my skin. Painting with while humming in tune with music in the background. I like to believe I’m a person to whom people can confide in. I speak 3 languages, currently in track to learning another one, read and watch movies in my spare time. I’m silly, witty and always been told I’m mature for my age since I was a little girl. I am currently working towards getting my BS degree in something that’s tech related. I’m lively, curious of what life has to offer and want to explore it as much as I can. Hopefully you do too. I absolutely love people who teach me new things and show me new perspectives.

I’d love to get to know you. See you in my DMs maybe?

35/M South Georgia looking for friends, partners in crime, relationship. Let's send each other songs!

Hi, how's everyone doing?? Hopefully not up to your elbows in water like here lol. It just won't quit raining!

Anyways, so a little about me: I live in South Georgia, I live comfortably and have everything I want except for good friends and etc. I just moved here back in September and literally know no one cause the majority of my time is spent working. Plus the town I live in is kind of small compared to where I was. I enjoy traveling, occasional weekend trips to the beach is a must lol, music is very important to me. It's a way from me to express how I feel. So someone who wants to send Spotify songs back and forth would be awesome!! Love live music and concerts! A love for horror movies would also be great! I also dabble in anime and games.

I don't mind being on my own, but it would be nice to have someone to talk or spend some time with. Let's take a weekend trip to the beach or go catch a concert together. Something fun! I have pics so if you send one or ask for one, if we hit it off, I will do the same. Ideally it would be nice to meet someone that could turn into something else or eventually move in, vice versa, but one step at a time. Anything else you'd like to know feel free to ask. Thanks! Look forward from hearing from you! 😊

I can tell that we are gonna be friends! 27 M UK

Hello there :)

Well, this is is awkward, isn’t it? I’m not very good at being able to do these biographies but I guess I’ll give it a go.

I’m 27 years old and from the UK. I’m into lots of things like video games, science, nature, books and random pop culture. At the moment I’m reading Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive which is such an epic time-sink. Thinking about reading the wheel of time too :) I also like comedy and stand up, and love watching live shows.

I work in healthcare which can be pretty stressful at times, and I guess over the past couple of years things have gotten ever busier.

So I guess, that’s a bit about me, if you’ve stuck around till this bit you may as well send me a message :)

PS - I have a cat!

26M - Friendly Chatter / Conversationalist - Seeking Good Company

Hiya, I'm Adrian and from England. If you check out my profile, you'll find some pictures of me and the cutest puppies (good luck convincing me otherwise! 😋). With some time off work, I've got plenty of free time and late nights. I thought it would be nice to connect with new people and for us to get to know each other. I am looking for a relaxed, engaging and chill conversation. You can be from anywhere. Whether it's a short term or something more long lasting, I'm open to both, but something long lasting would be nice 😊

Alittle about myself and my interests: I'm a great cook and baker; love exploring different cultures and cuisines and going hiking to escape from the hecticness of life. I am good at conversating, and I aim to stay both mentally and physically fit. I can be a bit stubborn at times when it come to things. and a good coffee & cafes is a must for me. I also love design in many thing, I enjoy to write and among other things.

If we have things in common or you think we would get along and want to chat, just send me a message with an introduction. Just a heads up, low effort and creepy messages will be blocked. And to those who read to the end, I hope you are doing well, that you are healthy and happy, that you are safe. If you are not, I hope you reach there. Keep trying your best! And if YOUR best is not good enough for someone, that is there problem and not yours :) People will complain no matter what. If the post is up, i am still looking to chat, will try and get around to everyone

Seeking that new message notification dopamine hit

Greetings and salutations! I am the wrong demographic for this subreddit as I am too old (37) and I am generally happy and satisfied with life, however I am missing the enjoyment of making a new acquaintance and having messages to respond through throughout the day. I am married and the father of two girls, am interested in psychology, philosophy, natures, fitness, and learning in general. I don’t have much spare time these days but when I can I enjoy reading, art, working out, and gaming (balders gate 3 and halo infinite currently.

Hoping to find someone to chat with but I don’t care if you are male or female. Prefer people in a similar stage of life, but really I just enjoy learning peoples stories. Give me a shout if you’d like to talk!

(20NB) it would be fun to talk, don’t you think?

hi! im 20nb just wanna talk with some people. i’ve tried doing other online ways of talking to people but nobody seems up to the idea of talking to have a proper discussion. anyways, i’ve had my own issues of my own come up lately and it would just be nice to talk to a stranger about all this. im big on creating small pieces of art to declare my self expression and stuff, but my happy place is either going on runs or being with my partner. i hope we click!

Struggling with Changing

Hello folks!

I'm a 25 y/o college student.

The pickle is -

I have been diagnosed with Bipolar and complex PTSD and I'm getting medical help for it.

I have a habit of lying to myself and to everyone around. I have a habit of thinking the worst about myself and sabotaging my own life.

I want to change.

I know what changes to make, I know what exactly to do. I just don't find inside myself the courage or the self esteem to do the right thing.

I never feel like I deserve to be helped and in masochistic way I like telling myself "see, you fucked up - this is who you are"

And I recognise how irrational that is.

I just hate myself so much to do right by myself.

Any of you who have any advice or have been through the same before and maybe a book has helped you or something, please tell me?

21M - Need a friend? So do I! Let's fix that up right now!

Hey everyone! 21M here from Asia, and I am looking for some also male friends who'd wanna game and talk regularly. Not necessarily everytime but as long as it's regular. Oh, and long term please!

Want to game together? Done. Want to talk about how your day was absolutely shitty and needing comfort? Done. Want both? Done and done. (Of course, non-gamers are also welcome to send me a chat!)

Some things about me, I love gaming on PC! I tend to game a lot only on the weekends due to me being very busy with uni. I play a variety of games, and I also have quite a big Steam library. Right now I am quite obsessed with Overwatch 2 and been trying out some Risk of Rain 2. My favorite genre of music tends to be rock/pop rock/punk rock, but I listen to anything (except Rap I'm sorry 😔 not my jam). I also like Formula 1 (I'm just a casual fan though)! I also love bad jokes, so hit me with your best ones!

Let's talk about anything, from the mundane to the deep topics. From what you ate for lunch, or what's a secret you will keep to your grave. Spam me your pet pics or memes, I'd love that tbh! We can hang, like watch smth or game together. I'm very open to vc down the line :))

I don't mind wherever you're from or what timezone, all I ask is that you're the same age as me or older! Btw non-gamers also welcome we can just talk and stuff! Please give a short intro (such as ASL) about you as well when you message me. I do not want to play a guessing game of who I am talking to.

See ya and I can't wait to meet you!

(26F) lost a few friends a while back. Looking for some kind people to talk to

Hi, like the title says I had a situation last year and a decision I made that caused me to lose most of my friend group.

Other than my partner and family, it has been kind of lonely. I would love to find some kind people to talk to about life and such. And maybe play games together. Thanks:)
