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."

27m - Hey beautiful people of Reddit!

Hey people, I'm looking for someone nice for a chat. I'm pretty bored. We can chat about anything really, I'm pretty easy to go, just show some effort as well😔 I love gaming, good movies /shows, books, music, also if you're interested in history, I'm here🙋🏻‍♂️ Also I love 40k👀 We can practically chat about anything, send memes, selfies, don't mind voice messages🤷🏻‍♂️👀

If you decide to Dm me and ghost me after, at least let me know 👀

I prefer long-term chats, quick ones are getting boring. Also if you're gamer, definitely hit me up, I'm on Playstation, but we can manage some crossplay as well, always looking for a new game buddies, just mind I'm EU time zone, so yeah.. 🤷🏻‍♂️

PS : try to start with something original or creative, would be appreciated 🤭.. But I'll answer anyway

20M here wanna make some long-term buddies

Hi, I'm looking for friends to spend some time with and hopefully, for long-term. This post may seem short but believe me, once we got to know each other, we could definitely be talking a lot! And to give you an idea on my likes, here are some of them: I like volleyball, political stuff, appreciating architecture, a little bit of fashion, and I do a bit of gaming (Elden Ring fan here 🖐🏻). And I'm just as interested into getting to know you 😄. Just to add as well, I'm also from the Philippines and I do have a bf.

Anyway, just hmu if you're interested!

23 [F4M] move to new country, would love to have new friends

Hey, I’m Sonya, 23 years old. I recently moved to Canada, and while I have my aunt here, I’d really love to make a friend to share my thoughts and emotions with—my ups and downs. I work as a bartender and am studying in college because I want to become a psychologist. With everything going on, I often feel lonely and wish I had more communication in my life.

In my free time, I enjoy hiking, playing sports, and gaming on my console. I also love cooking and find joy in reading and watching movies. If you’d like to get to know me better and share some experiences, feel free to reach out! I’m looking forward to connecting with someone who understands the excitement and challenges of life.

[30/M] [Chat] chat through out the day/night

just looking for a friendly chat through out the day/night

Here's a little about me:

-Introverted

-I love gaming, I've been doing it all of my life. (mainly play wow right now)

-love anything to do with cinema...movies/tv/anime

-I love writing and reading, I enjoy writing prompts and roleplaying (mostly zombie or fantasy related).

-I've traveled all over the US, but haven't made it to any other countries yet, but plan to. I love the idea of traveling and seeing historic sights and museums.

-I like to research random shit/useless facts/trivia. I'm a huge history nerd.

-I like debating. Not in a hostile way or anything, but I love finding out other peoples view points on things and discussing it.

Honestly can't think of anything else off the top of my head, but feel free to ask any questions, I'm up for any chats as long as they're fun. I will say that I prefer to message on reddit over anything else

37F. Looking for a casual/non-intensive texting buddy.

If all of (or at least most of) the following sounds appealing to you, we may be a match made in texting heaven:

  • I'm not into having real-time conversations via text. Every once in a blue moon, if I'm in the right mood and you're in the right mood, we may end up having a rapid back-and-forth, but for the most part? Just expect me to get back to you within 24-48 hours.
  • My love-language is exchanging funny/interesting/relatable shorts. Or music. If you're into music, we can share songs we like.
  • I like having conversations. Proper conversations. I like taking in different viewpoints and perspectives, discussing controversial topics with people who I don't entirely agree with. Let's share and explain our opinions without pushing those opinions on each other. Let's disagree on topics related to politics and religion and gender and race and philosophy and whatever-else without it turning into a debate or an argument or a fight. Let's just talk (slowly), sometimes influencing each others' mindsets, other times agreeing to disagree with no judgement (or, you know, there probably will be some judgement, but can you think that I'm being an idiot about this particular thing while acknowledging that you're probably being an idiot about some other things yourself, without either of us going off the rails about it; I'm just really not a fan of the "if you're not 100% with me then you're 100% wrong and I now hate you" mindset).
  • My interests include: books (mostly lighter/quirkier/funnier fantasy and sci-fi [black humor is good, just not pure grim-darkness] and the occasional non-fiction read), movies and shows (willing to try pretty much any genre here), anime and manga, fanfiction, and philosophizing. I do have physical hobbies too, feel free to ask me about those at some point if we end up connecting, but for a texting friendship I think mental interests are a lot more relevant.

Anyone? Hello? Is it me you're looking for?

[25/M] - UK, looking for Spanish speakers in the UK/Europe to chat to 😊

Hey! My name is Connor and I'm 25 years old and I'm from the UK, England to be exact. I'm interested in science and maths and I have a masters in physics.

I'm learning Spanish (around beginner/intermediate level) and I'd love to chat to some other Spanish speakers. Ideally in the UK or Europe as I've found the time difference speaking to people from Latin American countries can make it more difficult to chat.

Even better if you live in or near Newcastle upon Tyne as that is where I am!

I also love music, particularly blues and rock, and I have been playing the guitar for about 9 years. I also enjoy reading and gaming. I play on PlayStation, so it'd he cool to maybe have some gaming buddies too!

So if you'd like to chat for a bit then feel free to message me 😊 tell me your age, gender and location (general not specific) when you message

27M Canada - Looking for tinkering, outdoors, and history buddies

Disclaimer - I'm real new to all three things I've listed. If you're an electronics/general-DIY nerd, into SCA and other historical reenactment, and/or into anything from sailing to endurance-based racing (think open water swimming, adventure racing, fastpacking, orienteering), I'd love to see if we click. Mostly looking for other guys my age and maybe a decade older, but I'm pretty chill - whether you're a cool 22yo gal or a 51yo MtF adventurer, if we get along we'll get along, I'm not tripping.

30 Traveling

30 US. I travel full time, so making consistent friends to go out with isn’t really possible and I’m rarely in one spot long. I like to talk and get to know folks. I know I won’t click with everyone, but i do tend to get along with most everyone and it’s fun to get to know every walk of life.

I have quiet BPD, but I feel like it’s pretty well managed. I am partnered, we’re open, but I’m looking for friends. Mostly someone who also likes to chat a little more often than not.

I enjoy the darker things in life, though I’ll talk about anything. I like to write, read, and question reality. Outdoors is the best, my two dogs love to make me feel old and slow on hikes. Haha. Amateur climber, mountain biking and just cruising through town.

Come say hi. 🙃

42/M/Sc LF friends

I live on the east coast, United States. I enjoy tv/movies/combat sports/some videogames/content creating.

Ideally we’d be able to text any time of the day and talk about anything. Binge watch some tv/movies together and just talk and share whatever our brains cook up. Life is just boring, and lonely sometimes, and it doesn’t have to be.

Please be 30 and up in age, United states or a comparable time zone to mine, and preferably female. Married or single, kids or not I do not mind. Just be cool, and mature. One word replies and I don’t work out well, as well as hours in between replies. Clingy people a plus lol. I can hold a convo, can you?

Not a ghoster/you be the same. If something isn’t working we can agree to go our separate ways no harm no foul.

Also, if you’re a woman that collects people like baseball cards, 😂 aka, has like 100 conversations going from posting here, leave me out of it. I am a quality over quantity person and am looking for connections, not being a number.

32/M/UK - I don't know if platonic soulmates exist, but...

If they do, that's what I'm looking for.

I do actually believe in platonic soulmates. Maybe one of you out there does too; at least that's my hope.

My name is Nick and I live in Ipswich, England. It's 140 miles away from where I used to live in the West Midlands, but I am in fact an East Midlander by birth and upbringing, so I've been around the block a bit!

Anyway, I don't wanna ramble on for too long - I'll try to keep this concise.

Hobbies: Reading, writing, football, music production, photography

Other Interests: Architecture, sociology, mental health, British subcultures and social history

Dislikes: Grapefruit, shopping (unless it's online)

Personality: Varies depending on tiredness level, but I'm a very laid-back guy. Big fan of sarcasm and irony. Also generally pretty affectionate towards those I care about and develop a bond with. If you don't like pet names, you're probably gonna have to just get over it ;) I come from a place where we call both men and women 'duck' at the end of a greeting, and men of all ages can be called 'youth'. It's part of who I am.

What am I looking for? Well, someone who isn't going to ghost is a great starting point, because I've honestly lost count of how many times I've been ghosted over the past year, even by those I thought I got on really well with. Even for a 32 year old guy, it's a little upsetting building a bond and then someone disappearing on you. Apart from that though, if you're a nice person and you're happy to make an effort to get to know each other, talk regularly and not just give me direct replies but engage in proper conversation, hit me up! Generally speaking, I do get on better with women! Your age doesn't matter so long as you're 23 or older!

I have a preference to meet people from Europe! This isn't set in stone though.

If I don't reply immediately, don't panic or think I'm not interested, sometimes I just have other stuff to do, but I'm on Reddit regularly :)

By the way, this is me
