15F looking for friends :3

Hi, I’m Ezra! I’m from the USA, and I’ve been very bored recently. I only have a few friends, but unfortunately me and my friends usually only talk in person, as my friends have lots of things to do like work and family.

I’m willing to talk to anyone any age, just be appropriate with me, I’m still a teen after all. Any gender or country is just fine. I just wanted to talk to some people.

I’m willing to put in time to talk to you, but I still have school. I have the weekend and Monday off this week.

My interests include:

Poetry, writing, art, reading (occasionally), stardew valley, animal crossing new horizons, pokemon, teenage mutant ninja turtles, overwatch 2, Sanrio, etc.

Thanks guys, PM me if you’re interested.

49/M Looking For Long Term Friendships

I am a 49 year old married guy who is looking to make new friends and have someone to be able to talk with often. I enjoy great conversations and can talk about anything! I am looking for others who also enjoy talking and who won't dissappear after a few conversations. I am in it for the long haul and can pretty much talk everyday.

I am married but my marriage is more like roommates so it gets lonely. I miss having a conversation where the other person actually cares what I have to say. I am also a good listener

I love to travel, especially road trips, love to be outside especially relaxing on a beach. I also enjoy walking and hiking and exercising.

Hope to hear from someone who is in a similar situation or interested in talking more.

37/M/Germany - Looking for new snail mail penpals

Hello there,

I'm a 37-year-old guy from Germany looking to connect with people through good old-fashioned snail mail.

I'm a bit of a language enthusiast - I speak German, English, and Norwegian, with some Finnish and Lithuanian buried somewhere in my memory (probably next to my high school math skills). Currently taking Welsh classes because why do you need vowels if you can say 'cwrw'...

When I'm not in my course, you can find me:

  • Playing video games (after work sometimes)
  • Traveling and exploring new places
  • Going down Wikipedia rabbit holes
  • Cooking and eating
  • Reading about random things that catch my interest
  • Watching B-movies that are so bad they circle back to being entertaining

I'm looking for interesting connections with people who enjoy sharing stories and experiences through letters. While I appreciate artistic letters, mine will be rather simple - I am just not the creative type. I'm open to language exchange if you're interested, but it's absolutely not a requirement.

I'd be particularly excited to connect with people from Wales, Scotland, Scandinavia or the Baltic countries due to my language interests, but I'm absolutely open to penpals from anywhere in the world.

I'm perfectly fine with longer gaps between letters because life happens, don't need to rush an answer.

If you think we might click, feel free to send me a message. Looking forward to potentially exchanging letters with you!

25f from Sweden looking for someone to scream into the void with

Hallihallå. I am a person who’s always loved late night conversations and drunken floor discussions. I am looking for someone who wants the opportunity to write about their life, thoughts, fears and dreams and experiences. I value humor, openness and honesty.

I am a person who writes drunken poems, photograph people with unique personalities, scavenge woods and second hand stores for trinkets, feed the local crows with a dream of being their confidante, grows my own herb garden and try furiously try to live mindfully in the present with wildly varying luck.

Let’s pretend we’re already friends until that becomes true. Send me a message if you’re intrigued.

High school freshman in China, looking for a penpal

I am a high school freshman in Shanghai, and I am looking for someone to hold me accountable. We stay on campus except for weekends, and the schedule starts at 6:30 AM and ends around 10:00 PM, with a one-and-a-half hour break at 4:30. Peer pressure is intense here (this is one of the best schools in Shanghai and was actually my dream school in middle school), and the management is pretty strict, which means no phones or any sort of entertainment (at least for me; I don’t play sports) to relieve stress. I don’t play sports, so there is nothing I look forward to at school. We have a lot of homework, though it's not completely unfinishable (there are actually a few students who could finish it early; I probably could too if I kept working on it). I have been lacking motivation to complete it; during the evening four-hour homework session, I just stare at the desk or something, and it’s extremely grueling, so I would like to find someone to hold each other accountable and maybe hand in all of the homework next week.

I also want to compete in competitive programming, but I am rather bad at it now, trying to complete AtCoder E problems. Competitive coding competitions are also a valid way to get into a university; however, they require you to get into the national team or at least the provincial team or earn a gold in NOI, so it is even harder than the normal Gaokao route. However, I do want to give it a try.

I enjoy playing Pokémon games, with my favorite generation being Black/White. I also play some competitive Pokémon and am pretty good at SVOU, though I didn’t play it after starting high school because of the homework. I like PMD, and my favorite is Gates to Infinity. My favorite Pokémon, in order, are Alolan Vulpix, Espeon, and the Serperior line (especially Servine). I am planning to write a fic sometime, and I have some ideas, but I am not really sure how to do it.

Additionally, I don’t have many friends at school, and there aren’t many who share my interests, so I would like to find someone to interact with. Personally I find some of my classmates extremely annoying.

I would like someone to email once a week and maybe exchange snail mail, but I live in China, so it’s kind of hard to send stuff abroad or receive it. I am also planning to send to-do lists every day to hold myself more accountable (I am the manager of the class computer, so that may or may not be possible).

33 m Germany looking for long-term convo

I’m looking for an old-fashioned, long-term exchange as a contrast to our increasingly fast-paced world. In my opinion, any good relationship requires mutual effort. Of course, it’s impossible to predict if two individuals will “click” and find enough common ground but I believe that a mutual understanding of these basics is key.

I’m German and live near the Alps, close to the borders of Austria and Switzerland. I thoroughly enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, swimming, and cycling. I’m a big music buff, especially when it comes to jazz and blues. Additionally, I consider myself a technology nerd, although I don’t follow every new trend. For instance, I’ve decided not to participate in social media due to privacy concerns (except for Reddit, of course). I’m a naturally skeptical person and question the usefulness of most new technologies around us. In my view, many of them primarily exist to collect data about us, often without truly necessary benefits.

Whenever I find the time, I also love traveling and learning about different cultures and perspectives. I’ve lived abroad twice, each time for a year, and those experiences were truly life-changing. Another hobby of mine is baking bread and cooking—I firmly believe that life is too short for bad food!

I‘m look forward to your message and getting to know you!

Ukraine pen pal exchange

Ukrainian pen pal

Hello I was searching for a Ukrainian pen pal to exchange post card, letter, or just to chat. I am 39 male but I have traveled all over America. I can share what it’s like to live here if you are wondering. I have good hand writing and live on a farm with two dogs. Please send message! I like arts and crafts, and know how to use a computer for graphics but I want to learn more about computer graphic design. I won’t make fun of your art ideas.

I have books and use to enjoy doing simple science experiments and following along art and craft directions from a book. I took a computer graphic design class in high school and need a lot of practice. In high school I created a separate collages from magazine clippings and various internet clip art. I like soccer ⚽️ and would like to something creative related to soccer. If you choose me hopefully we can create an interesting memory and maybe learn each others language. I speak fluent English but can learn Ukrainian if that facilitates the conversation.

USA.33.F - Greetings from the other side of the reality kaleidoscope!

Hey folks! I want to take on some new penpals, but it is important to me to start journaling again! To fix this, I thought I could probably mix them both together! Want to send photocopies of our daily shenanigans to each other? I don't think I can part with a physical journal, but waiting 30 days of journaling before sending pages of photocopies (kinda like a subscription to my personal life details) may be kinda fun! You don't have to write everyday or a copious amount per day (a one liner can be effective too), but we can do what we can. Washi tape and stickers will really litter these pages for me too.

About me. I'm an undergraduate student (yes, I am quite late to the party) but I have a big passion for what I'm learning (international politics) and it's important to me to help as many people as possible with what I learn. Although I don't post there much, I also identify with the r/plural community so there's more going on in my head than the typical person. I will write about these entities in my head as needed, but you can see it as extreme daydreaming if you want. The general vibe will be about saving the world or the Universe more often than not and how we tackle the problem of the day as needed. I may add some poetry or notes from books I've read to reflect on what I've learned and how I plan to apply it to the future. I guess I'll have to check out r/journaling for more examples as to how I can make this penfriending more fun to keep up with.

Let me know if you want to talk!

Here for whatever you need! (Lurkers encouraged)

Hello all! I used to make posts like this a lot but it's been a while and a few different accounts since then. I'm at a point in my life though where a little reconnecting would be good and the results and people I've met in the past has always been super interesting so here we go!

Whatever you're here for or whatever you need right now, this is your invitation to reach out. No matter what it is, this post is a guarantee that you'll get a reply.

If you're a little lonely and you just want a chat. If you have something you need to vent about. If there's something exciting that you can't share with others in your life. If you just really need to send someone a wall of text, or if you need someone to read a single word. If you want advice or a new perspective on something. If you just want to let something out and not worry or deal with a response. If you're afraid to talk try reaching out and you're looking for an excuse. If you want to get to know someone new or you really want someone to know you. ANYTHING. Send me a message, whatever you want. Even if it takes a little bit, I promise I will respond.

I'm used to lurking a lot and very rarely reach out so please if you also find yourself struggling to do so, I'd really love to hear from you.

Thank you to all, very much looking forward to talking to you and one way or another, I wish you lots of love and hope you have a good day/night!

I'll basically talk to anybody

Hi,

As the title of the post states, I will basically talk to anybody. I don't use the functions of Reddit often, so I don't know how everything works around here. Writing has been a decent part of my life for a decent amount of time, and I have mainly focused on writing about myself and other people, as that is what I find most entertaining. However, after publishing the first part of my autobiography, I experienced a lack of motivation. I did not see much of a point in writing more if nobody was going to read my writing. Although my autobiography was published, I only bought myself a copy and then took it out of stock because I did not want other people to be able to read it due to the fact that I talked about real people (and one other reason, perhaps). I knew this going in, mind you, but I still wanted to publish it for the sake of it. I didn't know what else to write about apart from that. The problem is that the only things that I want to write about are things that I feel I can't show people for whatever reason, and then it also feels pointless to write if I am not going to show people. Quite the dilemma, I suppose. Anyway, talking to someone would be cool, so message if you feel like it. By the way, I'm a 20-year-old guy, just so you know. Also, can someone tell me what the flair means? As I said, I don't know my way around Reddit too well.

Fellow nerds and geeks, a moment of your time!

Greetings! I'm looking for an email penpal, and seeing as many of my interests tend towards the nerdy-side of the force, finding some like-minded people seems like a good start. I imagine we'll talk about plenty of non-nerdy things too though, so don't feel like that's some sort requirement or goal. Whether you want to nerd-out about your latest obsession, rant about a bad day, delve into some deep philosophical musings, describe your aspirations for the future (realistically attainable or not), describe the silly/cute/annoying things your pet(s) are doing, or just list the mundane day-to-day things you've been doing recently, I want to hear about it.

As for myself, I'm 39/M, live in Oregon (U.S.), and work as a programmer. I would describe myself as an avid bookworm (mostly sci-fi/fantasy), and also enjoy learning about actual history and science. I've played Dungeons & Dragons on and off since I was a kid, though I'm not currently in a game. From time to time I do some story writing, but purely as a hobby, nothing that's ever likely to see the light of day. I'm a long time anime/manga fan (no, it's not just a passing phase). Definitely into video games, mainly on PC, but in a bit of a lull right now, having trouble finding a game that really hits just right.

On the less nerdy side, gardening is one of my bigger hobbies. I built a large raised-bed earlier this year for growing veggies, and weather permitting I'm often working on my yard, trimming trees, fending off invasive blackberry, cleaning up flower beds, figuring out new places to create more flower beds, etc. I make things like homemade jams and sauces from fruit that I grow, and if you've never tried homemade boysenberry jam, you're missing out. For the past couple years I've been sucked down the deep dark rabbit hole that is home-espresso, so that's kind of a hobby now too. I like hiking, occasional camping trips, and just generally getting out to enjoy nature. I also dabble in cooking/baking, and am always down to try new recipes--though I am vegetarian, so that does sometimes limit the recipe options a bit.

If you're interested, send me a message and introduce yourself. Let me know about your interests, or what's been going on in your life. I like long letters, so don't be afraid to ramble on.

17M Looking for a penpal

Hello, I am currently finishing my A-Levels in England, which are Fine Art, Physics, Mathematics and Further Mathematics. I enjoy reading and I paint on both canvas and plastic miniatures. I also wargame with said miniatures, but only relatively recently. I am thinking of doing architecture or architecture engineering at university.

I have two dogs, which are spaniels, and i also have a gecko and two tarantulas.

I would be interested in emailing people 17-20, preferably in England but it isnt a deal breaker if not. I wont be very frequent, maybe once or twice a month. But i can be more frequent if need be.

24F - Looking for Fun and Relaxed Pen Pals!

In search of some chill pen pals to exchange messages with. I’m always up for learning about new things, whether that’s a cool hobby you have, a new book you’re reading, or just random stuff that makes you laugh. I enjoy all kinds of conversations, from deep talks about life to sharing silly moments that happen throughout the day.

Some of my interests include cooking (I’m always trying out new recipes), watching crime documentaries, and reading thrillers or fantasy books. I also love listening to music and discovering new artists, so if you’ve got any good music recommendations, I’d love to hear them!

When I’m not doing those things, I’m usually trying out new DIY projects, daydreaming about places I want to travel to, or just spending time outdoors. I’m pretty open to chatting about anything and everything, and I’m looking for someone who’s down for casual conversations and enjoys swapping stories and life updates.

If you’re looking for a pen pal to share your thoughts with, send me a message! I’d love to hear from you.

Female/40s. Meaningful pen pals.

Hello!

I am a female in my 40s seeking pen pals/friends to exchange ideas, share points of view, discuss cultural aspects, recipes, memes, songs, hobbies, and anything else of interest (any field). I am not looking for companionship per se – companionship is a consequence and not the main goal here. I am looking for ways of sharing what I know, but also learning new things from others/seeing life through other people’s lenses. A meaningful connection is a two-way street: no room for selfishness here.

Please reach out only if you:

  • Are not seeking a relationship or situationship of any kind, particularly if you are unhappy in your current relationship and need emotional compensation.
  • Are looking for more than just a way to pass the time (don’t reach out if you just feel bored).
  • Have a clear sense of what you want in a pen pal/friend.

I could share much more here, but I look forward to continuing the conversation when you message me!

P.S. While I am open to possibilities, I would prefer to correspond with individuals over 35. And I strongly prefer pen pals! I truly enjoy writing and appreciate the charm of old-fashioned correspondence (the pressure of everyday texting can feel overwhelming sometimes).

[30/M/UK] - Between rainy London strolls and a cosy adventure at an old bookstore- what do you fancy?

Hello there! Ever been caught in that tricky spot where you can not decide between two exciting options? But maybe we can brainstorm and figure out which one truly tickles our fancy. Maybe we will end up choosing both- because experimenting is half the fun, right? Now, if you're up for such whimsical chats that can glide from light-hearted banter to profound musings, maybe you should write to me. I have indulged in penpal-ing since high school, and absolutely love that. However, it has been difficult now to squeeze in enough time to do snail mailing, but making friends over written words has still been equally charming to me. Nonetheless, depending on how this goes, I would might be keen on switching to snail mail or email.

Some random tidbits about me -

- After finishing uni past year, I work as a scientist building some random artificial intelligence thingamajigs in biotech (for more technically interested ones - we do machine learning) in London. And no, we do not wear lab coats (most of the times). I am absolutely smitten with what I do and where I am. To be fair, I love science in any form.

- One of my claim-to-fame moments till now has been being at loo next to a Nobel laureate.

- I love to read. On some weekends, I sneak away to different cafés, libraries, parks, river banks, and other places in my city to read alone. A dream of mine is to have a big personal library at some point!

- I am into running, hiking, rambling, biking, and squash. In addition, I am always keen on checking out new sports! Also I really enjoy exploring outdoors, generally with friends.

- I enjoy cooking, even though I am very slow at it and I am fairly certain that I am not very good at it either. Bonus happiness though if I am doing it with friends.

- I am very close to my family. And I am the silliest (and definitely the cheekiest) one among them.

- Regarding music, I listen to a bit of everything, depending on my mood. Having said that, more often I find myself listening to classical and indie. Some of my favourite classical composers include Brahms, Vivaldi, and Dvořák. My city has an incredible music scene, so I sometime find it tough to stop myself from going to too many concerts!

- I have seen some posts including their MBTI or enneagram type. So if you are interested in that - from all the times I have given the MBTI test, I have been an ENTJ. Similarly for the enneagram tests I have been a number 3. Though I believe it is difficult to profile someone based on just one type alone (also without enough statistics).

- Here are some more random clichéd things I like. I love going to a wide variety of museums (from art to natural history and more) and spending hours getting lost inside. My personal record till now has been visiting four museums on the same day (Was it stupid? Yes. Do I regret it? Eh, not at all.). With friends, I like exploring independent cafés and sampling hot chocolates. If you are looking for a recommendation, I suggest The Wren Coffee in London for weekdays!

If you have read until this long, thank you for that! I did not want to cut things short. Maybe we have got some shared interests, or perhaps we are total opposites- exciting either way, right? Whether we are kindred spirits or from different galaxies, I am waiting for your message and getting excited to brainstorm the fun experiments in choosing either of those two options ahead.

Good day to you and cheerio!

Creative Pen Pals

Creative pen pals?

Hello! I’m a 25-year-old guy from the United Kingdom looking for a long-term pen pal to connect with on a deeper level. I’m someone who can be a bit awkward at first, but I’d like to think I’m easy to get along with once you get to know me. I find that I’m much better at speaking than typing, so if we hit it off, maybe we could eventually chat in real time!

A bit about me: I’m a huge animal lover and share my life with two wonderful cats who mean the world to me. They’re my little companions, and there’s rarely a dull moment with them around! My interests are mostly creative—I love getting lost in projects, whether it’s art, writing, or music. But I’m equally fascinated by science and history, and I’m always eager to learn something new, especially if it’s a bit nerdy or offbeat.

More than anything, I’d love the chance to learn about new places and cultures and to discover how our lives differ in ways big and small. I'm excited about building a genuine connection and learning about your world, experiences, and perspectives. So, if you’re open to a friendly exchange of ideas, stories, and maybe a few laughs, I’d be thrilled to hear from you!

19F looking for a US penpal

hello! as said above i am 19F looking for a penpal in the US! i am a sophomore in college and an environmental science major. i am interested in anything nature related and love to hike. i also enjoy reading, watching movies, crocheting, knitting, and stationary. i have many pets at home and love animals. i also collect littlest pet shops and enjoy crafting. i would love these letters to be meaningful and more than just surface level conversations. i would like to briefly chat on here or email before we start sending letters just to get to know each other a little better :)

i would also be interested in sending postcards, little trinkets, stickers, etc. in the mail! i will try to make my letters feel as personalized as possible! since i like stationary they will definitely be decorated. i don't care if the letter i receive is just writing on printer paper, as long as it's a good conversation!

i would prefer to chat with someone around my age but i'm not picky. i am LGBTQ+ so anyone is welcome to be my penpal! also, if you message me, please be serious about wanting to be penpals! i have received messages in the past about wanting to be penpals but it going nowhere. anyway, feel free to comment here or pm me if you are interested in being penpals :)

Seeking a company

Hey Reddit, An introvert stepping out of my comfort bubble to find some friends who love deep conversations, sharing laughs, or anything in-between. Big social gatherings aren't my thing, so I'm turning to the online world to connect with like-minded individuals.

I don't care about the timezone . I welcome texts at any hour and I'm up for calls if that's your thing. Whether we're exchanging stories, exploring the latest memes, or pondering life's great mysteries, I'm all in.

If you're looking for a friend who might take a moment to open up but is fun and engaging once comfortable, let's get in touch. Here's to making our online space a bit warmer and our connections richer.

Looking forward to some fantastic conversations and forming new bonds!

  • Yours

30M - I put the 'pal' in penpal.

Greetings all! I'm from Australia and would love to make some new friends/penpals, especially those where we can build a connection in the long term. I'm a supportive person, so if you've been through any struggles or am going through something (I've been going through hard times myself), I'm all ears, but I'm just as happy keeping things light too. I can be a little shy at first but that goes away pretty fast when I get to know someone. I care deeply about nature, football/soccer has been my favourite sport since childhood, I've been trying to work on my cooking and getting into baking (am always looking for different new recipes--anything that you'd recommend or especially like to make?), and I'm into everything from The Simpsons to Stranger Things to Only Murders In The Building. My other interests can be pretty diverse, everything from Disney to pro wrestling. I'm legally blind, which has been very challenging, but at least means I have a lovely and photogenic guide dog, so I'm always up for swapping pet pics too.

Happy talking to anyone, regardless of where you are. Would like to exchange long messages or emails talking about everything in our lives, from the most mundane things to more serious matters.

26M - Easygoing Dude Who Works From Home is Looking to Meet New Peeps! 🤝 Chill Chats and Good Vibesss

Hey!

As the title mentions, I do work remotely. Tons of advantages, but one of the disadvantages being not a whole lot of social interactions lol. I tend to have a good amount of downtime while I'm clocked in, so aside from reading, hitting the gym, or gaming, I like to meet new people!

I was born and raised in the US, but I am a first generation Hispanic-American so I am fluent in both English and Spanish!

Some of my hobbies include reading, watching/playing sports, going to the gym, listening to music, watching movies, gaming, and photography.

I'd like to say I'm an easygoing guy. I have used Reddit in the past and have met some really great people! Never any pressure to reply instantly, since I know I get busy with life myself as well. Good listener, good conversationalist, good humor, and great memes.

If anything sounds interesting, or you'd like to learn more, feel free to reach out!

Hope to hear from y’all, have a great one!

18f looking for a penpal

Hi! I am interested in sending letters (once every two weeks to a month) to a hopefully new friend. I would like them to be 17-20 years old and ideally live in the UK but its not the end of the world if its anywhere else. Having similar interests would make for good conversation starters but being quite different people would also be fun! I have two cats who I adore and live in rainy Yorkshire. I spend most of my time doing maths as I am completing my Alevels right now and am looking to go on to do physics at university. Outside of school, I enjoy climbing at a local-ish bouldering gym and reading fiction. I am attempting (and failing) to get into to cooking as I know it will be a crucial skill and less of a chore if I find myself liking it. If you find yourself wanting to write to someone like me then send me a dm and we can exchange email addresses :)
