We're shut down right now in protest of Reddit's announced API changes, which will make moderation nearly impossible and kill 3rd party apps.

For a great explanation of what's going on, see r/techsupport's wiki: https://rtech.support/docs/meta/blackout.html

This is a place to find new texting friends. Text app/pic share app users are also welcome.

Kinds of information you are strongly encouraged to include in your post:

  • intentions/expectations for communication
  • topics for discussion
  • hobbies/interests/lifestyle/anything interesting that can be used to prompt conversation

It's also not a bad idea to include any of the following:

  • age
  • gender
  • location
  • what gender(s) you want to text

The only rule is that you cannot include any contact/identifying information in your post. This is part of reddit's site-wide rules. Read more HERE, HERE, and HERE.

The other rule is that you cannot spam the sub. This will be defined in 2 ways:

  1. Spam spam, the kind many have been used to for years - what is posted by bots, catfish, or enterprisers and often leads off-site for the purpose of doxing, scamming, harassing, advertising, selling, generating views/ad traffic, etc.

  2. Posting too often. When this happens, a user generates too much attention to themselves without adding any value to the community, and they reduce the visibility of the posts of others. Henceforth, all users can post only once every 24 hours AND only if their last post is no longer on "hot" or "new."

29M Gay South Asian, looking for kind male friend

Bored and don’t have many friends to talk with. Would love a cheerful friend to give me company and not let me feel down.

We can talk about anything on our minds, preferably good vibes and hopes.

Someone who is willing to share face pic occasionally so we both feel some connection.

There so many topics we can talk about, if you like then do send me a message and I’ll happily respond back.

27f looking for friends

Hello,

Looking for people to text with all day/night. I'm a night owl and tend to stay up until 2am or so and I'm on the west coast. Recently went through a breakup and realize I was very isolated in that relationship - to the point that I don't really have any friends.

23m home sick with covid

Howdy y’all, I’m Mike. I’m a human service worker at a state hospital for the criminally insane. I work night shift so most of my time at work is spent reading and handing out coffee in the early morning.

When I’m not at work I normally either play video games, spend time outdoors, or working on my project truck. I’m an avid outdoors man who has no issue living off the land and know my local woods and water ways like the back of my hand. Sadly due to work I rarely get the chance to go camping.

I enjoy spending time playing video games, mostly Stardew valley, borderlands 2, and fallout 4 but have a wide range of video games I’ll occasionally sit back and play.

I also currently have a project truck, it’s a 2000 chevy silverado that my grandpa got me when I was 15 but the engine blew last year, it’s currently sitting on blocks in the back yard while I save up to put a new engine in, I’m probably going to put a 383 stroker engine in it because race car.

So yeah, if you’re looking for a down to earth, jack of all trades guy who is slightly socially awkward feel free to dm me, any and all are welcome

22M - Looking for genuine friendships!

Hello, I'm from Europe (Belgium). I want to try making more friends online because I love talking to people around the world, learning new things, sharing things I love, and I would like to have genuine friendships.

I have noticed a lot of people are willing to talk about themselves and their problems but do not know how to be active listeners and engage in two-way conversations. This is just from my personal perspective though. I feel like I always end up turning into a therapist or peer support without any reciprocity or interest in asking about me.

Then, of course, all of the people that want relationships and not friendships that ghost as soon as they are not getting what they want. Those are the two biggest reasons why I seem to struggle with meeting people.

21M looking to meet nice and cool people 👀

Hey everyone!

I’m a 21-year-old guy from Poland, and here’s a bit about me:

📺 I love binge-watching TV series, especially crime, thrillers, political dramas, and sometimes horror. There are a lot of shows I'm looking forward to the next season, like: S.W.A.T, The Rookie, 9-1-1, The Night Agent, From. And recently I watched Stranger Things. OMG IT WAS SO GOOD!!! Currently I'm watching "How to get away with murder". But I have watched more series and I'm looking to watch a looot more so if you got any recommendations or want to chat about your favorites of these genres, hit me up!

👨‍🎓 I'm currently studying applied linguistics (english-russian) at uni, and it doesn't mean I'm a sucker for learning languages, but I have to say I enjoy the process of learning.

📖 It's not the thing I do on a daily basis, but I also enjoy reading crime and thriller books. I'm now reading "Vanishing Girls" by Lisa Regan. If you have a favorite book or author in these genres, let me know!

🌍 Recently I became interested in politics and geopolitics. Even though I'm not an expert on this topic I can conduct some conversation about it.

🗺 I'm into getting to know different cultures and people from all over the world. Whether it's history, food, or just casual talk, I love learning about new perspectives. And honestly, I enjoy talking about almost anything! Whether it's deep conversations or just joking around, I'm always up for a good chat.

And please guys if you decide to message me, put some effort in your introduction. I do not reply to "Hey." and so on.

If you think we might vibe, feel free to reach out! Can't wait to meet some awesome people here! 🫶

Hello to whoever is reading this. My friends are busy with their exams 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 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

25M - What two "normal" activities would be really weird if you did them back to back?

I am looking for genuine friendship. Talk to daily. Talk about good times, bad times and the rest. 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

Anyway if you wanna chat more leggooo! I’d like to come off here without a few messages, if you’re not comfortable with that then probably don’t message me, only because I have no interest in staying on Reddit, the chat is too glitchy😂

27F New York just looking for a closer friendship or just more :)

Life has been monotonous lately so I’m looking for someone to go on dates with, a slow burn getting to know each other with tons of flirting and thrill!

Are you someone extroverted, clingy and talkative like me? Someone who needs to speak to someone constantly? Someone who would love to share very random stories about themselves? Someone who’s fine with small talks throughout the day and occasional deep talks when time permits? Someone who would want to randomly get some midnight snacks and have each other for dessert?
