Hi everyone,

This is an unconventional post to write as a son, but I want to see my mom genuinely happy again, so I’m putting this out here.
For the past few years, things haven’t worked out between my mom and dad. It wasn't one big fight, just a buildup of misunderstandings and realizing they are very different people. My dad is rigid and emotionally distant, while my mom is warm, communicative, and values deep connection. Over time, the lack of compatibility took a toll, and they have mutually decided that separating is the healthiest step forward.
A little about our background: we are a Tamil family based in Pondicherry. My mom is in her early 40s and used to work as a college professor. She is naturally articulate, patient, and loves good conversation, whether about books, life, or everyday things over a cup of filter coffee. She has a calm, graceful presence and has spent her life looking after everyone else. It’s time she had someone who truly appreciates her.
I’m hoping to connect with someone around her age who is emotionally mature, kind, and looking for genuine companionship. Ideally, someone from a Tamil background or around Pondicherry/Tamil Nadu would be great for cultural comfort, though compatibility and a good heart matter most, whether you are divorced, separated, or single in a similar chapter of life.
To respect her privacy on a public forum, I’m keeping specific details minimal here. If this resonates with you (or someone you know, like an older brother or friend), please drop me a DM and we can talk further in private.
Thanks for reading.

26 F

For most of my life, I've never really had a big dream or a particular vision of what I wanted my future to look like. My parents have had a major role in shaping my decisions, from schooling and college to my career as a doctor and I've mostly trusted that things would fall into place eventually.

Interestingly, over the past few years, I've started to realise that what I genuinely want out of life might be a family of my own. Not necessarily a particular career or a specific lifestyle, but a partner to share life with and build something meaningful together.

My parents would prefer me to focus on my postgraduate studies for now. They've always made it clear that the final say in choosing a life partner would be mine, even in an arranged marriage, and they would also like me to find someone on my own. So, in a way, I'm caught between figuring out my career and figuring out what I want my personal life to look like. I haven't openly discussed this with my parents yet but like i said, its my decision so I'm holding off this topic till i find someone suitable.

I'm not entirely sure where this will lead, but I thought I'd put myself out there and see if I meet someone I genuinely connect with.

I'm flexible about career plans, and I'm open to figuring things out together with the right person. I'd rather find someone whose values and outlook on life align with mine than have every detail of my future already decided.

I'm hoping to meet someone who's also looking for a genuine, long-term relationship, with the possibility of building a family together.

Edit: to filter out my DMs I'm looking someone slightly older than me. 26-32 preferably I'm from kerala thought i should mention even though I'm open for flexible locations I'm Hindu and would prefer hindus as well.

Edit: im 5'3 52kg prefer taller guys 5'7 or above. Prefer guys who have a healthy to fit physique.

I’m 27, 6’1”, based in Chennai, and working remotely as an AI Creative Developer for a foreign company. I’m financially independent, earn around ₹39L a year, and have the freedom to manage my own work hours.

I’m passionate about filmmaking and acting, attend acting and theatre classes, and have ambitions of pursuing cinema more seriously myself. I also play guitar, enjoy music, and train MMA. I’m someone who likes having things to work towards, whether that’s creatively, physically, or professionally.

At this point in my life, I’m looking to date with the intention of marriage. I’d like to meet someone I genuinely connect with and take the time to see whether we’re right for each other.

I’m drawn to a woman who takes care of her health, has interests and ambitions of her own, and is curious about life. Someone kind, emotionally mature, affectionate, and comfortable communicating openly. It would be lovely to share some interests, whether that’s cinema, music, fitness, or travelling, but I don’t expect us to have everything in common. Having our own passions and being able to introduce each other to new things is part of the fun.

More than anything, I want a relationship that feels like companionship. Someone I can laugh with, have long conversations with, enjoy the quiet moments with, and feel at home around. Two independent people who genuinely enjoy being together and choose to build something meaningful.

If you feel we might be compatible, I’d be happy to get to know you and see where it goes.

31, female Bengali in Chennai, looking for nice guy to date and then marry. Physical criteria: I like tall guys and a cute face and goes to gym because I also go to gym, dance, and I have a lot of hobbies. I am everything-holic, so I want to do lot of sports, lot of hobbies before marriage and after marriage as well. 100% straight and 100% monogamous. Grew up in a comfortable family, never ever had financial issues, so I cannot deal with it much, to be honest.

Honestly, I’m quite disappointed and frustrated with dating. I’m tired of talking stages that lead nowhere. I do get approached, but our mindsets and values rarely seem to align.

A little about me: I’m a Freelance makeup artist from Indore India, and an only child.
I believe in falling in love before getting married. I can’t imagine spending my entire life with someone I don’t genuinely love. For me, marriage should be about love, not just settling down.

I value personality, emotional compatibility, and physical attraction. I also prefer someone who takes care of their health and fitness, as I believe lifestyle compatibility matters too.
Age preference: 28–34

A few things that might be deal-breakers for some: I’m an atheist, a feminist, and an introvert. I value my freedom and independence and don’t like unnecessary restrictions or controlling behaviour. I’m a non-vegetarian.
I don’t want children, and I drink occasionally.

I know everyone has different values, and that’s okay. I’d rather be upfront about who I am than discover major incompatibilities later.
I’m looking for something genuine that could eventually lead to marriage.

Also, please don’t spam my DMs with pointless hellos and small talk. Only DM me if you genuinely believe you meet the criteria I’ve mentioned and think we could be compatible. Otherwise, please don’t bother, I’ll block you without even checking.

I’ve been on matrimonial apps for over four years 🙄 and have met plenty of people, but nothing’s clicked yet. I spent my 20s in Dubai focusing on my career, thinking an arranged marriage would be how I’d find my person.

Over the last couple of years, I’ve been working on myself, lost about 30kg, and am now focused on building muscle and living a healthier life.

I’ve recently ditched the matrimonial apps, and I’m pretty fed up with dating apps too since they rarely work here in Dubai. I’ve tried singles mixers this year, but had no luck.

I’m looking for a partner, not a pen pal. I love to travel and am currently starting my own business.

If you're in Dubai and are interested in meeting up, feel free to reach out here or find me on IG @SawhneyDXB. I’d love to grab a coffee, get to know each other, and see if there’s potential for a future together.

Hey! I’m a 30-year-old DevOps engineer in Bangalore, giving Reddit a shot after matrimonial sites. I keep systems running at work; personally, I’m still debugging life.

I’m playful, sarcastic, slightly chaotic, occasionally moody, and an overthinker. I enjoy the gym, long bike rides, chess, and binge-watching movies and series.

A few facts:

Curd is essential with every meal. 🥣

I’m the unofficial therapist among my friends.

I enjoy conversations about everything from technology to politics and random debates.

I’m always learning something new.

What I’m looking for:

Someone around 25–30 who is funny, easygoing, emotionally mature, honest, loyal, and can roast me when deserved.

I’d love a partner for bike rides, travel, spontaneous plans, movie nights, deep conversations, and eventually a serious relationship leading to marriage.

I value individuality, mutual respect, and choosing each other every day. If you enjoy banter, meaningful conversations, adventures, and don’t mind my love for curd, say hi. 😄

I have recently posted on this sub a few days back, seeking my partner, that got quite a response in terms of comments & upvotes.

https://www.reddit.com/r/JodiMilan/s/P1sEyUgt2I

43,000 views on that post damm - a very active sub

But what's with this 75 people who shared my post 😅. Kya karna chahte ho. Mere liye ladki dhoondhe me help kar rhe ho .. toh thank you

Mere against plot kar rhe ho ki iska zindagi barbaad karni hai (scammers and fraudsters), toh tum kya nikal loge yaar mere jeb se 😆. I know ki waise toh bohot kuch ho sakta hai aaj kal.

Just sharing my random thought openly here 👍

Have a good rest of your day guys and happy long weekend. 😊

One feedback to the mods, have the posts listed once the verification is done, rather than listing and verification, only then we will have verified profiles rather than unverified profiles and please put a limit on karma as well. I think this would help to avoid scammers some what. Correct me If I am wrong this is what you have done in jodimilan[dot]com, where only after manual verification the profiles are listed for display.

Hey! I'm M 23 from Delhi NCR, 6 feet tall.

I've spent most of my time focusing on my career and personal growth, so dating never really happened for me. But hey, better late than never, right? 🫠

I don't really have an age preference. I'd rather connect with someone who's kind, humble, and considerate.

A little about me: I'm Hindu, vegetarian, don't smoke or drink, and hit the gym regularly. I'd say my physique is above average, but I'll let you be the judge of that. 👀

Personality-wise, I'm an overthinker, pretty emotional, and super caring. Thankfully, I'm also funny (at least in my own opinion), so there's some balance. Basically, a textbook green flag. 🙄

If any of this sounds interesting, feel free to DM me. Let's see where things go!

Hey!

I'm a finance professional working in the corporate world, living in Baner, Pune.

I've met quite a few people, but finding someone who feels like home and brings peace into your life is rare.

I'm looking for someone mature, emotionally available, and genuinely interested in building something meaningful.

Someone with whom I can go on spontaneous road trips, explore new places, try new food, have deep conversations, laugh over stupid things, and enjoy the comfort of doing absolutely nothing together.

I want a connection where adventures feel better, ordinary days feel special, and life feels a little more beautiful just because we're sharing it.

Not looking for perfection, just something real. ❤️

If this resonates with you, let's talk and see where it goes!

I am 25 M,Hindu, from Delhi NCR, currently in love with mountains and you(??). Another engineer grad from IIT who always exhaust his claude tokens but yea 10/10 guy to put an effort for. In the evil world of 6+ height I am just 5’8 but believe me I can make you laugh:).

Will always up for late night walk with random conversations on braindead reels. Ik I am being optimistic but do you like books, I am ready with my recos. Also do you wanna recreate before sunrise scenes?

Bonus point, I can cook so we ready to try all those dishes hehe

About myself
Age - 25
Gender - Male
Location- Delhi
Religion - Hindu
Height - 5’8
Education - Btech from IIT
Profession - Strategy Consultant for US Banks

What I am looking for?
- a girl who can eat my cooked food aur free ki tareef kare
- will always annoy me(will do the same)
- laugh at my unusual jokes
- always ready for a random gedi
- stay in around Delhi NCR
- under 27 of age
- have job(I can be your househusband)
- caste/religion no bar

So hey would like to be spoiled by me? 👀

Hey, I’m 30, based in Hyderabad, and probably far more old school about love than my sarcasm lets on.

The romantic part

I believe in the slow burn. Conversations that run past midnight, noticing the small things and actually remembering them, the kind of love that builds instead of rushing. Blame it on Ye Maaya Chesave, Sita Ramam, Fidaa and far too many rewatches of FRIENDS f. I’m not after a spark that fizzles out. I want the one that stays.

The rest of me

• Quick with a roast, but never at the cost of someone feeling small. I read people well, so I also know when to drop the jokes and just be there.
• Gym most days, treks and travel whenever I can, and just as happy with a quiet evening and a good series.
• Endlessly curious. Physics one night, why certain fashion trends stick the next. I like dressing well and will happily tell you why.
• Love songs on loop. Zero shame.

What I’m hoping for

Someone warm, sharp and funny. Someone who can laugh at herself and still go deep at 1am. Someone who wants something long term and real, and who feels that pull too, because for me chemistry and comfort both matter.

Say hi

Tell me the movie or series couple you secretly think is relationship goals. I’ll tell you mine, and we can argue about it.

About Myself:

I am an AI Engineer by profession and a badminton athlete by passion. 

I regularly engage in intense indoor badminton activities. I do feel proud of my daily athletic activity because every morning I return home sweat-soaked, refreshed from the previous day's work stress, relaxed and focused on the rest of the day's work challenges.

Age - 38 (though people mistake me to be younger, like 29-30), Height - (5’10” - 5’11”) 179cm, Weight - 75 kg (Athletic), Career - Working in IT, Lives in - Hyderabad

Salary: 42 LPA+

Currently working remote

Food preferences - Vegetarian

Caste: Brahmin, Religion: Hindu

Divorced

Life has given me experiences that have made me resilient, grounded, and clear about what I value in a relationship. I’m divorced and a father to a wonderful daughter, and being an involved parent is an important part of who I am.

Currently, my life revolves around work, daily badminton practice, taking care of my child, and coaching my child In Badminton. Participating In Weekend Badminton Tournaments to pursue the skill and socialise with people.

Hobbies: Book Reading, journaling, rom-com movies, music, and travelling.

I am a vegetarian, non-smoker, non-drinker, and cautiously follow food habits.

Partner Preference:

• South Indian Preffered
• Unmarried Or  Divorced
• Hindu 
• Preferably Brahmin 
• Height: 5’3” and above
• Vegetarian
• Someone who is financially settled with CTC 25LPA+ or from a business family.

I’m looking for an educated, confident, and emotionally mature woman who values health, independence, family, and meaningful conversation.

My child is my soul extension. I am both mother and father to my child. I can take care of my child, so I am not expecting my future partner to play the mother role for my kid. It's just good enough if she can be a good friend to my kid. 

If you think we might be compatible and are looking for something serious, feel free to send me a message with an introduction about yourself.

I'm 28M, 5'10", Hindu, from Rajasthan. I have a B.Com, PGDM in Marketing & Finance. I've worked in operations and customer service, and I'm figuring out my next career chapter.

I'm an INTJ-ish nerd into anime, J-pop, PC gaming, technology, cars, finance, and random deep dives into things most people don't care about. I love travelling and road trips (including Leh–Ladakh), and I'm working on my fitness. Vegetarian, no eggs.

Who I'm looking for:

A Hindu girl who's vegetarian and doesn't smoke or drink. These are important compatibility preferences for me.

Beyond that, I'd love someone who can be both my romantic partner and best friend. Someone to share stupid memes with at 2 AM, discuss life's big questions, plan road trips, exchange hobbies, and enjoy doing absolutely nothing together.

I value emotional maturity, loyalty, affection, mutual attraction, honest communication, and personal space. I want us to discuss disagreements rather than play guessing games. Independence matters; we should have our own interests while building something together.

Sexual compatibility, openness about boundaries, and long-term alignment on marriage, children, careers, finances, and family expectations matter to me, too.

I'm drawn to someone curious, playful, kind, independent, and serious about building a genuine relationship. You don't need to share all my interests just be someone I can connect with.

Not looking for perfection. Just someone who's right for me, and someone I'm right for, too.

What's your ideal relationship? What are you passionate about? And what's something you could talk about for hours?

Worst case, we have a nice conversation. Best case, Reddit gives us a ridiculous soulmate story

Thank you! 🙏

Age: 24 | Location: Indiranagar, Bangalore

Religion: Hindu (open to Hindu/Christian; caste doesn't matter)

Education: BE AIML (2024)

Profession: SDE (Remote) | ₹8 LPA

About me

Born and settled in Bangalore. Career is going well, I'm debt/EMI-free and financially comfortable. Dad has done well in real estate across Bangalore & Chikmagalur, so housing isn't a concern.

I take fitness/health seriously , gym, swimming, eating well, meditation & mantra japa. I know Hanuman Chalisa by heart too (keeps the ghosts away 👻🤣). I don't smoke or drink.

I love bike trips with friends (bike-less currently 😭, Duke 250 next year), exploring food spots as Bangalore's unofficial food inspector, and chilling with my two cats.

I'm an introvert until I'm suddenly not. I'll randomly solo dance, own the stage, eat five introverts for breakfast, then return to my cave 😂. I'm also an outrageously terrible texter , infinitely better on calls/in person.

Looking for

A long-term relationship, not immediate marriage. I want to date, have fun, build trust/attraction, make memories and fall in love. If we're right together, I'd want it to naturally lead to marriage , ideally within ~4 years, but no deadline.

I've never dated or been in a relationship, so I'd ideally prefer someone who's also new to it. Figuring it out together sounds wholesome. Just a preference, no judgement.

Preference: 19–25, Hindu/Christian, preferably non-smoker/non-drinker and not heavily into partying. Kind, affectionate, emotionally mature & a little silly.

Life is suspiciously peaceful. Apparently my heart wants some wholesome chaos 😌.

If you think we'd vibe, say hi.

P.S. ChatGPT helped this terrible texter make his intentions readable 😭. Questionable life choices are entirely mine.

There's something funny about writing to someone you haven't met. I don't know your name, what your laugh sounds like, or whether you're the type to steal food from someone else's plate. But here I am, curious about you already.

A little about me: I'm 26, from Mumbai. I work in a managerial role, study yoga on the side, and have a habit of getting lost in random questions about life, people, and the universe.

I'm close to my family, generally calm, and I enjoy understanding people. Although, fair warning, once I'm comfortable, the teasing begins. You might regret encouraging me. 😂

I wonder what you're like when nobody's watching. Whether you sing while cooking, get excited over tiny things, or have a completely ridiculous sense of humour that only a few people know about.

I'd like something genuine and long-term. The kind where we can be silly together, talk about difficult things without shutting each other out, and keep choosing each other as life changes.

And maybe somewhere along the way, we'll have our own little traditions, terrible inside jokes, and a favourite place to escape to when life gets overwhelming.

Anyway, I have a suspicion there's a rather interesting person reading this.

I'd like to meet her. :)

Twenty one
Never dated anyone ( stick to the post to find out )
Final yr engineering
Dont smoke or drink
Vegetarian 🌱 ( wanna be vegan but chai nahi chhut rahi)
Kinda spiritual and believe in good karma and things
Idk what else to write dm ma puchlo haa hindu
What i am looking for
Yaar aesa kuch khas nahi ha bas good karma and all mai should believe ( yup i know its thoda cliche aur many times what happens ki galat logo ka sath acha hota ha )

Should not drink or smoke ( yup my preference)
Non veg works every one eat and fr its difficult to survive for veg people for protein and stuff

Why havent i dated
Tbh i wanted job first also kisi sa kuch icha nahi hui karne ki
Introvert ( fancy way to say socially awkward but haan ab i am better )
Thoda spiritual hona tha but ab har jagah ppl are dating toh haa its feel kinda lonely

Why not dating apps
Nahi hota merese bass

Hey! I'm a 25M from Pune, looking to meet someone around my age for a relaxed coffee date. We can grab coffee, talk about life, share some laughs, and see if we vibe.

I'm into F1, basketball, and sports. No pressure or expectations — just good conversation and good coffee. 😊

If you're interested, feel free to DM me!

P.S. Your coffee is on me if we get along! ☕

Hey!

I'm 23M, living in Bangalore and working in tech. Most of my day involves solving problems that sometimes create three new problems, so I thought I'd try something different and see if Reddit can help me meet someone interesting.

A little about me: I'm around 6 feet tall, heavily built, recently started going to the gym, and still very much in the "trust the process" phase. I'm a bit of a nerd, enjoy music, movies and web series, good food, going out, and conversations that somehow start with something completely random and end up lasting hours.

I'm also someone who's never really experienced dating, which is probably a funny thing to admit at 23, but here we are. I'm not the smoothest person when it comes to meeting someone new, and I might be a little awkward initially. Once I'm comfortable, though, I can talk about pretty much anything.

I'd like to meet someone who's kind, has a sense of humour, and is genuinely curious about the person they're talking to. Someone with whom even a simple plan like getting food or going for a walk can turn into a good memory.

I'm not expecting some movie-style love story from a Reddit post. I'd just like to meet someone, talk without forcing it, see if there's a connection, and hopefully have a reason to look forward to checking my phone.

If this sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to DM me. Tell me something about yourself, or just tell me what your ideal low-key first date would look like.

Let's see if the internet gets one thing right for once.

Male 31, single/never married, working as software engineer in Toronto.

Open to: Single F or divorced with no kids, 27-34.

I am looking to settle down and marry. It takes a lifetime to know someone so we may never know what could happen but what I believe in is efforts and communication.

Looking for a girl who is open-minded and independent - knowing what she wants in life. Someone who appreciates and understands little things and moments in life. I know its super vague but no other way to put it either.

To keep this post short and simple - here's some things that I think will help you know me better

1. I love to cook. Its my way to relax. And I am good at it. Sharing food is the best thing one can do as a parson.

2. I love environment and always want to do something good for that. I don't celebrate diwali in a traditional way just to prevent pollution - just an example.

3. I love animals and very compassionate.

4. dang, I started this as a list but running out of options real fast! :D so yeah I am a very simple person, living a simple life.

What I am looking for 👀

1. A girl with dreams and hopeless romantic. if you are not, and still want to, sure, opposites attract you know? may be we can complete eachother instead of overflowing haha

2. Independent and open minded.

3. Good sense of humor.

4. Ability to introspect, accept mistakes and willingness to grow. Someone who can take criticism instead of being defensive, open to communicate and discuss instead of running away. I am asking that because I do the same.

No BS please, be ready to share pic. If we like, like to do video call as well.

whoever did this 2K words limit, damn! anyway, so hope to hear from the one! <3

Basics:

Age: 24

Location: Noida, Delhi NCR

Profession: Consultant at an MNC

Salary: ₹34 LPA

Lifestyle: Non-smoker, non-drinker

About Me:

I'm 24, based in Noida, and looking for a serious relationship that could eventually lead to marriage if we're compatible.

I like my work and I’m ambitious about it, but weekends are for adulting: laundry, groceries, and getting the house in order. After that, I’m all about travelling, movies, and board games (Catan, UNO and Bluff are my go-tos). I’m also pretty good at Clash Royale, so be warned.

Underneath the games and the chores, family matters a lot to me. I’m close with mine, and while I’m not in a rush, I’m looking for someone I could build towards marriage with over the next few years.

What I'm Looking For:

Someone kind, affectionate and emotionally mature, who can disagree without going quiet. I’d like a partner who is working or plans to build a career, since I value supporting each other’s ambitions and independence.

I’m hoping for trust, respect and mutual effort, where we’re each other’s biggest supporters and enjoy the small things together. A similar lifestyle would be great, so someone who doesn’t smoke or drink would be a good match.

P.S. I even went through verification and clicked a selfie just for this post, so I hope that counts for some extra sincerity points. 😅
