New rule: No minors allowed starting June 5, 2026

1.1k Upvotes

It’s July 5. Typo My bad.

A major change in this sub is set to happen at 12:01am UTC Sunday, July 5. The new rule will replace rule 13. All minors, those under 18, will *NOT* be allowed to participate in this sub. This is for the safety of everyone participating. If you are under the age of 18, please utilize teen friend-finding subs.

For clarity:

Q: Can minors make posts? A: No.

Q: Can minors comment? A: No.

Q: But it’s just to make a friend, there’s nothing nsfw or anything. A: Doesn’t matter, you cannot participate. You will be banned.

Q: If I was previously banned for breaking rule 13, can I be reinstated? A: No.

Q: What if I don’t post my age? A: You must post your age. Any posts without ages will be removed.

Q: Do comments need to include ages? A: No, they don’t.

Q: Since it’s adults only, we can now have a nsfw post or comment history or post nsfw stuff here, right? A: No, that’s still against rule 2.

Q: I’m a minor. Will you keep my previous posts and comments up? A: Yes.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Age 22-25 22F from India, looking for genuine online platonic friends

• Upvotes

Heya!

I'm Suhani, 22F from India. I've completed my BCA and am currently pursuing my master's while working part-time as a delivery girl.

A little about me: I enjoy watching football, cricket, and binge-watching web series. I'm not exactly a gym freak, but I do love going on early-morning cycling sessions for around 30 minutes. There's something peaceful about starting the day that way.

Honestly, university friendships haven't really worked out for me. Most of the people I've met there feel a little too boring for my taste, and I'd love to meet people I can genuinely connect with instead.

I'm looking for online, strictly platonic friendships. People I can talk to about random stuff, share our daily experiences with, discuss football matches, recommend shows to each other, or just have those conversations that somehow go on for hours.

You don't have to share all my interests. Just be genuine, respectful, and someone who actually enjoys getting to know another person. I would like to connect with someone of my age (20-25) and probably a fellow Indian to relate to.

If any of this sounds like your kind of friendship, feel free to DM me and tell me a little about yourself. I'd love to get to know you!

⭐️A huge true crime person! I like to study cases n stuff (not in a weird idolization way) I’ve always been interested in studying these kinda things and have built a whole buncha knowledge on this kinda stuff 😭

✨Anime wise my top favorites are Jojo’s bizarre adventure, Tokyo ghoul, Initial D, JJK, Air gear and FLCL. I’ve watched hundreds but those are my main faves. I also read manga from time to time but haven’t rlly had the time to do so.

🌠My favorite movie of all time is paranoid park! I also love trying new hobbies, my main hobbies are making music, baking and drawing but I’m always open to trying new hobbies, I love picking up new skills though sometimes i burn myself out 🫩.

Anxious and need company

Hello. I’d like to chat whilst I try and distract myself from…well, you know how that goes. If you’re intelligent, enjoy deep convos and can distract me without being creepy about it - I’d like to hear from you


r/MakeNewFriendsHere • • 4h ago

Long-term 35YO English guy - I love the rush you get when you vibe with someone and you're waiting for the next notification. I'd love long term friends from around the world! From India to Italy, Philippines to Peru, Czechia to Canada, Australia to Austria, you get the idea, all over the world is fun! :)

7 Upvotes

TL:DR - I like yapping with people and I think I'm pretty lovely, though I am a bit biased. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, so message me and maybe we get on well? :D

Pretty much title! I have a cold and just feel a bit rough, its super early here and I woke up to go to the toilet, made the terrible mistake of checking my phone and now I'm just laying awake regretting my life choices that have led to me being unable to sleep despite being unwell at 6.30am. Sooooooo, I thought I'd post so I can at least pass the time until I pass out/give up the sleep ghost and go about my day. Location doesn't matter, part of the charm of internet friends is meeting folks that I'd not meet day to day but I'd like long term friends, a long time vibe is the goal as opposed to just one off or short convos

As for myself, I work from home doing a travel insurance job, its mostly mid, but its full WFH and that saves it. My big interest is travel, my wallet hates me so much for it. I've been to Philippines/Singapore/Malaysia over two Asia trips, a lot of Europe as well as Jamaica and Canada. Last year I did Istanbul, Portugal and a Norway cruise, plus a Asia trip. Visited Serbia, Madrid and Poland this year then Budapest on friday next week! I have a cruise with family next year to Greece/Turkey/Malta and a friends wedding in Greece and I'm hoping maybe Asia or Africa next year, fundds permitting, I'm always down for trip buddies so if we vibe I'm in! Beyond that, I'm a pretty keen reader, plus the usual smattering of videogames/sports watching/tv shows/gym (but mostly to offset meals out and a problematic keenness for chocolate). I live at the edge of a town and some of the walks are lovely here too. I've dabbled with painting, taken up and dropped the piano a few times (I used to play when I was younger and was decent and sometimes get the urge to play again).

I always prefer a bit of closure, if we've spoke for a while and your situation changes and you won't be chatting anymore, I hate the ghostly exit, if its early on then fair can't vibe with everyone, but if we've spoke for a while I always feel disappearing is a bit of poor form, but its the internet so it happens.

In terms of where to talk, I do prefer to move to apps, I use most of the usual ones but staying here is fine too if necessary. Include your basic details in your message, the usual about me stuff is fine, don't feel the need to match the rambling essay above! :)

Hi! Im a 23 year old college student. I’m going to school for film but don’t assume I’ve see a lot of movies, because surprisingly I have not lol.

I basically just work and go to school online. I don’t do much at all really. I’ve tried a lot of different hobbies but none of them have really stuck.

I’ve tried knitting, crocheting, coloring, video games, reading, playing piano, playing guitar, etc

I think my next activity or hobby is archery 🏹
Hopefully I like it.

Anyways that’s a little bit about me. Tell me a bit about you and your asl when you message. Oh! And come with a topic of conversation, so we arent just “wyd” all day. Thanks :)

(also if you’ve messaged me before and I didn’t answer, feel free to message me again, I like to clean out my inbox lol)

33F | Can we normalize friendships that don’t expire after 72 hours?

65 Upvotes

Seriously, why is making friends as an adult harder than finding a decent parking spot at Walmart? I’m married, and looking for strictly platonic friendships with people who actually enjoy having conversations and getting to know someone.

A little about me: I work way too much, but I make time for people who matter. I love being outdoors, hiking, watching movies, laughing at the dumbest things honestly. My humor is questionable, my music taste is all over the place, and sarcasm is practically my second language.

I’m looking for random messages, ridiculous memes, good conversations, playful banter, and someone who can go from talking complete nonsense to having a deep conversation at 2 AM. If you’re going to disappear after two days, save us both the trouble. I’m not asking for constant attention, just genuine effort and consistency.

Skip the boring “hey” and tell me something interesting about yourself, your most controversial harmless opinion, or a song you’ll defend until your last breath. Bonus points if you can make me laugh. Let’s see if we can make a friendship last longer than a free trial.

Age 22-25 25F houston just wanting a new bestie

• Upvotes

FIRST THINGS FIRST I HAVE A BOYFRIEND AND IM HAPPY WITH HIM if your cool with that hi I'm hoping to find a genuine best friend who's looking for a long-term friendship.

A little about me: I'm plus size, a total night owl, and I love anything crafty. I enjoy gaming, movie nights, music, board games, and I'm trying to get out and do more. One of my favorite things is hopping in the car for random late-night drives—sometimes I'll decide on a whim to drive to Galveston just to enjoy the ride and clear my head.

I'm a little shy at first, but once I'm comfortable, I can talk for hours. I'd love to find someone who enjoys spontaneous adventures, late-night conversations, sending memes and TikToks, grabbing food, exploring new places, or even just hanging out doing nothing.

I'm looking for someone who wants a genuine, long-term friendship and is willing to put in the same effort I do. If you're also a night owl, that's a huge plus!

If you think we'd get along, send me a message and tell me a little about yourself. I just want something to do lol

Hey everyone! Recently moved here to New Jersey from Florida and I learned it’s hard making friends as an adult so I figured I’d give this a shot. In my free time, I usually like to go on nearby hikes, work out, play video games (story driven, RPGs!), and binge watch a lot of shows/movies lol. If you feel like getting to know me more feel free to send a message! We can talk about whatever, whenever 🤙🏼

Looking for friends

29 female looking for platonic adult friendships with guys who are patient, kind, genuine, understanding. I want somebody who actually wants to talk to me and actually invest time and energy in the friendship. I want somebody who matches my energy. I want somebody who is actually emotionally attuned and empathetic. And most importantly I just want someone who actually cares about their friends and actually chooses their friends carefully and actually chooses their words. I want somebody who actually makes me feel seen and remembered instead of like an afterthought. I want a friend who actually wants me a part of their life and doesn't let life get in the way of the friendship. And one more thing I believe in relationship repair because we are human not robots who are perfect every single time. I don't want a friendship where I constantly have to walk on eggshells or watch everything I say because you'll just cut me off if I cross your boundaries or whatever. So if you're the kind of friend looking for the same thing as I am feel free to message. I'm looking for something actually long-lasting, deep and meaningful. And somebody who won't be afraid of my emotional intensity, somebody who will appreciate me for the good and bad parts of me and won't run away at the first sign of conflict. I also have trust issues so please let's take it slowly. I don't want to be bombarded with questions ask me if you're truly curious. otherwise let's just take it slow.

My job is mostly down time. Looking to chat with other people that might be up. Maybe develop a long term friendship if we vibe.

I'm into a lot of different things. My hobbies vary drastically from outdoorsy stuff like hiking with my dog to gaming and so on. I'm easy to get along with. Talkative. I'll try to keep a conversation going as long as possible but if most of your replies are "lol" then I'll likely stop talking.

Also, I'll send pictures of my dog upon request. Ha.

Shoot me a message and we'll go from there. Tell me about your hobbies. Your favorite movie. So on.

Have a safe week.

Hi I'm from California, I love horror films, the paranormal, and rock and metal music. I saw a great concert last week and ive been dying to talk about it! 🤘 I am often fixated on some album or band at any given time.

I am married, looking for platonic friendships where we can play games, talk about music, movies or anything else. I have plenty of time and im down to get to know anyone, but please have a taste for the macabre! 🖤

No provocative dms please and thank you. 🙏
