For people looking for commitment, but just as friends! This is a sub made by two aromantic asexuals who want to help people find each other so they can date but #noromo. Find friends, best friends, and/or QPRs here!
When posting a profile, please include your age, gender and pronouns, sexuality and romantic identities, and what sort of relationship you're looking for (friends, best friends, QPRs, etc.) as well as if you have any gender preferences. (Example: You're nonbinary seeking other nonbinary friends.) Then, basically create a Tinder bio so people can see a little bit about you and whether they may want to get to know you. Feel free to include a photo of yourself if you wish and your general location but that is not required! Totally understandable if you want to hold off on distributing that sort of thing until you get to know someone.
Rules: 1. No discourse. There’s a time and place for debate, but there’s also a time and place for being in a community who wholeheartedly supports you. 2. LGBT+ phobic, racist, or sexist remarks are not tolerated. 3. As we are from places where the age of consent is 17, this is a 17+ sub. Although this is a place for platonic relationships, we do not feel comfortable encouraging such strong friendships between minors and adults. 4. Please be careful if you plan to meet in IRL.

Hello. Need your help. What friendship sites would you use and how would you describe situation of wanting a platonic friendship. Yes I am attracted to others but ethics of a brain injuries and change in personality means it is not right in my life currently to me and the ethics. But yes I am still more than capable of having friends going out for dinner, swimming, holidays, cinema but nothing sexual no intimacy just friendship. How do you get this across in a nice way??? Help appreciated.
Hello I'm a 23-year-old sapphic ace based in Metro-Atlanta, Georgia. I'm looking for a long-term queerplatonic relationship with someone who is kind, intelligent, and enjoys meaningful conversations.
A little about me:
I’m autistic, so I value understanding and patience in a partner. If you’re someone who can appreciate my quirks and share in deep, thoughtful conversations, we might just click!
If you think we might get along, feel free to send me a message! I’d love to get to know you.

Ok so I’m a male that identifies as bi but not out to the public (if you make me happy and are doing all the right things then i would date you) and so far in my 26 years of living I’ve never been in a relationship and not because I can’t get one, but the right person and timing just hasn’t approached me yet. Of course I’ve had mild crushes on females and males but I think I’m more sexually attracted to a male and more romantically with a female and for an example I could meet a guy today and could be thinking about sex by the end of the day whereas a woman I wanna get to know her all the way inside and out before I would even gain sexual feelings. With that being said let me just get to the point. So from about age 17 up until now I’ve had 4 very close platonic relationships 3 males and one female and I call them that because it was never any sexual tension there but that’s the only thing that was missing and I did/do have secret crushes on them because they never seemed like a regular close friendship, and I’m going to try to keep this as short as possible because I really wanna talk about my current platonic situationship. It’s this guy I met at work a year ago and we started at the same time and so we were always cordial and spoke to each other when we see each other but up until about 5 months ago we started to talk more and really started to get to know each other a lot more which lead us to hanging out by ourselves for the first time and it was him asking me to go on short trip with him before work and while I would never do anything like that before work, I only did it because I really started to like him as a person but he picked me up and on the trip he was paying for everything even though it wasn’t much but it was the thought that mattered so of course me being a Pisces (he a Taurus btw) I started to feel some type of heartfelt way which lead me to buying him a drink at the place we were at and that was literally the start of this platonic relationship in my eyes. It went from that to us chilling together everyday on lunch and being around eachother so much that our other coworkers had start saying jealous remarks like “look at the best friends” or “your always with him”. I’ve also recently took him to 6 flags and I took a leap one day and asked did he wanna see a movie at the drive in and surprisingly he said yes. Our conversations flow so easily and it seems like we’re always coming to the same conclusion when it comes to anything about life and if we don’t agree, we always find a way to agree somehow. Anytime he orders food he things about me, if I’m ever sick he’s coming to my rescue making sure if I need something or not or he would simply just do without even asking me sometimes and don’t get me wrong everything that he does he know I have and will do it for him in a heartbeat and I know for a fact that I’m the only person he acts like this with especially at work and vice versa and tbh he does everything that I would want my partner in a relationship to do and I know he hasn’t had anybody show him love like that in his life and he tells he me he loves how genuine and caring I am. But here’s the problem, I’m almost positive he’s like 90 percent straight because he talks about girls a lot and has been in a few relationships and he flirts with women at the job sometimes but I just feel like deep down inside and my intuition tells me that our friendship is far more than a regular one but not so much platonic because it feels way more intense in my eyes so of course by this time I have deep feelings that kinda feels like I’m in love deep but that’s most likely the Pisces in me and from what I know about a Taurus is that there very practical and likes to take they’re time with anything that they do. I would like to think that maybe he’s just a little confused because maybe he’s never had another dude show up and show more love than any relationship he’s probably ever been in but on my hand I feel like I’m wasting to much personal time that I feel like I could be putting into a relationship that would go somewhere and the icing on the cake that I’m really hurt about rn is that I brought one of my beautiful cousins around him and some other coworkers and of course they instantly clicked and they have been talking a little bit and it’s driving me crazy but if you ask them I couldn’t be more than happy about it because that’s how I make sure it’s perceived so I won’t look weird but it’s causing me to have this negative draw back and while I would never want to loose our friendship because it’s the best I’ve ever had, I just think I can’t be around him and connect with him as much anymore and I can tell he senses it but I just don’t know what to say or do but for my sanity it can’t stay the same especially if they get serious at all and I know it would hurt him but I just kinda feel a little lead on or maybe I’m just crazy?
Wanting to meet more people who will ideally become long term friends.
Hello everyone, Maybe not your everyday typical topic but here we go. I am not aromantic, i was in a few relationships in the past, i had crushes on my boyfriends yada yada. But now im tired of dating, of the whole fiasco that comes with it, im overworked, depressed and tired. But with me turning 24, my family went batshit crazy. Literally, couldnt come back home yesterday cause they went berserk. As I am currently in the prime age without a husband or at least a boyfriend, the yapping has not stopped and its just making me feel sick, and apparently i am making the generations of my family sick too. And as I truly am disgusted by the whole idea of the “passionate marriage and even more passionate divorce” type thing , I decided I need more of a cover-up than a relationship let’s say. The idea of marriage for the stability and companionship- I’m obsessed. So i dont know what its called, but this is what im looking for. Not steamy romance or the breathtaking sex or whatever. So the question is how to find people who would be looking for the same type thing (surely i cant be the only one).
There are norms i need to live up to unless i want to be literally bullied by my family. And don’t get me wrong its not that “i cant find a boyfriend” or whatever- i am i guess conventionally attractive, and i am not broke so im not looking to trap someone. Im just really fucking tired and I don’t want to be stuck in a relationship where i have to force myself to be intimate and lovey dovey all over again.
Another problem is i live in a very christian european country, so dont know if there are any forums for this type of thing here.
Idk i need advice, has anyone had any experience with these feeling, is anyone in a relationship like that? Has anyone experienced family problems like that?
Cheers x
Hello! I’m an aroace, transmasc nonbinary person who goes by any pronouns. I’m not looking to date, but I am looking to form a deep, lifelong platonic bond with someone. I want the kind of friendship where we can talk about anything and everything, where we can always count on each other to be there for love and support.
I live in Michigan with my partner and dog. I don’t have a lot of hobbies at the moment (thanks to depression), but I’m definitely open to trying new things! I’ve been wanting to get into drawing. I absolutely adore animals; I’m vegan and volunteer at a cat shelter. I’m an anxious mess, but I’m trying to enjoy life the best I can. I’d love to have a friend as a part of it!
Hi, I know the title sounds intimidating, but I believe I'm an aroace, looking for not just a relationship, but people who are in the same spot as I am. Knowing asexuals fill only 1% of the population, It's very difficult finding a fellow asexual, let alone one you're compatible with. So anyone have tips, hopes that I should continue searching for my one?
Anyway, off my soap box.. I'm a lady who lives in North Carolina. I like video games, but I also like to go out and explore, be with family, etc.. So if there's anyone who's out there and interested in that, let's chat..!

Oh hi, I'm 31 and I'm just really accepting that I'm AroAce and don't want a romantic relationship. But I do really want a platonic life partner one day 🥺 I'm autistic and hella awkward lmao, and I am disabled so that makes it more difficult to get out and meet people. And it's so hard to find people like me in my community. So yeah! Here I am!
I'm a big crafty person - sewing and crocheting are a big joy for me, and I've started selling crochet earrings recently. I love stories of all kinds! I prefer movies rn, but I'm open to TV shows and I do want to get back into reading more often. I looove horror movies and really cheesy romances. Like I will watch the shit out of weird hallmark or lifetime movies 😂 I love writing and music, as well. I live in Utah, but I'm an atheist and a leftist, so similar views on politics and human rights are really important to me. I also prefer someone (or someones? Open to polyamory!) who is not a man, but other than that I'm open.
Annnd that's all I've got for now 😂 feel free to message me!
Hey I'm Caitlyn (F23) from New South Wales Australia. I am an oriented aromantic asexual looking for other women or non binary aroace people to be friends with or maybe even a QPR.
I enjoy playing video games, watching movies, cosplay and bunnies. I am a bit awkward at first but after a while I open up fully. Feel free to message me if your looking for a friend, best friend or QPR. 😊🏳️🌈
There are over 1000 members but very few give kudos, at least thank goodness it's positive kudos, but otherwise no one is making any comments lately. What can people do to help others find good platonic friends they need.
I've had some good friends during my lifetime however I have moved around America, including some years in Mexico. Post pandemic I lost everyone so I'm basically starting from zero. One big interest is well being optimization. I like IMax movies about NASA and nature, plus things like Disney and Pixar movies. Sustainable living and practical minimalization are some more of many interests in general. Please, share your interests.
Hi little dragons! I'm from Italy (south) and I'm looking for friends (maybe from the south too). I'm aromantic, asexual and non-binary.
I like read, listening to music, stroll and watch Disney/Pixar/DreamWorks films.
For those interested, you can chat with me privately ^^

We’ve both gone on dates together, pretended to date around other people, and do flirty stuff to eachother without feeling weird. She is Bisexual with two crushes, one of each sex, and I am an Omniromantic/Demiromantic Sex-repulsed Demi-Girl with no current crushes. We do kidnapping roleplays, one of our favorite roleplays, where usually we push the other onto the bed, then get on them to “tie” the wrists and ankles (we didn’t actually put anything there) by getting on top of them…and then proceeding to call the parent for ransom. (I think you can see our dynamic from that) We both love pretending to date, and we went with another platonic couple in our friend group on a double girl date once! (that was a blast) I honestly just love our dynamic and wanted to share it
A female from east Malaysia who have lost hope in relationships really, but I do need someone to not just cuddle and spend time with when I'm at my lowest, even at random times when one of us feels like meeting up. I also like it when I listen to the others persons days, their life, their experience. I don't know where else to release myself.
