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

69 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.

18F from Denmark looking for friends ♡

hii!! <3 I'm almost 19 (in four days) and looking for some genuine friendships, preferably long-term!!

A little about me: I'm really into psychology, deep conversations, and getting to know people on a deeper level. I'm also pretty creative and love drawing, designing clothes, writing, and anything fun and whimsicallll

Some things I love are playing Bloxburg on Roblox, listening to music (especially Lana Del Rey and Arctic Monkeys/Alex Turner), and watching shows like Modern Family (over and over again) and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I also love anything cottagecore and just generally pretty things!! my room is filled with vintage oil paintings, fairylights and vines.

I'd love to find people I can talk to about literally anything, from random silly things to deep evening conversations. Someone to send memes to, yap with about our interests, and just share little parts of our lives with. I really value friendships where both people make an effort and genuinely want to get to know each other. ♡

I can be a little- a lot energetic sometimes haha, but I promise it's all love!! <3
I'd love to get to know you!! I'm happy to make friends from other countries too, preferably around my age.

If you think we'd get along, please message me!! You can tell me a little about yourself or just send me a random message to break the ice <3

Edit:
Hello guys thank you so much, for reaching out to me. I’m doing my best to answer everybody, but I’ve texted to many already and i still have 99+ requests so don’t worry if I don’t answer right away

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)

haiii! ♡

I’m looking for a sweet, caring connection and a little anonymous escape from the big, busy world. Someone I can get cosy with, chat about anything and everything, and make each other’s days a little brighter ໒꒰ྀི ˶> ˕ <˶꒱ྀི১

I’m a little shy and can be quite awkward at first, so I’d love someone a bit more assertive who doesn’t mind taking the lead, asking questions, and helping me come out of my shell. A sweet, affectionate, caring person who genuinely wants to get to know me would make me so happy ♡

I’d love to keep things anonymous, just a little private corner of the internet where we can be ourselves without sharing personal details!

A tiny bit about me: I’m 25 and love reading, horror movies, cosy games, and falling down strange little rabbit holes about true crime and all things weird and wonderful.

Please tell me your age and gender in your first message! I won’t reply without knowing those two things, so please don’t forget ♡

If you’re a sweet soul who wouldn’t mind a shy little chatterbox taking a while to warm up, come say hiiii! ૮꒰ ˶• ༝ •˶꒱ა ♡

p.s. If you messaged in the past and I missed you feel free to message again... although I cannot promise I can respond to ALL dm's.

Hi! 22F from LATAM (so yes, I'm latina) here. I'm currently bored, so it would be nice to have a friendly and chill chat.

I love gardening (My plants are my babies), going out for walks, the sea and everything that involves touching dirt.

In my house, I like to play roleplay games (D&D my favorite duh) I'm a DM in D&D (you must assume that I love druids, spores ones are my favorite children 🌱🍄), I like animal crossing (I even do virtual gardening lol), and off topic Spider-Man and comics.

We can talk on discord if you want!

If you want to chat DM me! And please don't be a creepy pervy weirdo, and if you're going to be one at least be upfront about it to block you, don't wait 10 messages to be one, it ruins my mood.

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.

Age 40-49 Southern California 44F hoping to gain a new friend

12 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m hoping to chat with throughout the day. I was born and raised in California and currently live in SoCal.

I appreciate the simpler things in life. I love staying active, being in nature—whether that’s walking, camping, listening to birds, or spending a day at the beach. While I'm not a big fan of busy city crowds, I do love exploring museums and architecture.

My Christian faith is a daily part of my life, and I’d love to chat with someone who shares that bond—as iron sharpens iron. Right now, I'm actually praying about a big decision: whether to stay in Southern California or adventure somewhere new.

For a little more background: my parents are from China and the Philippines. I've been told I'm easy on the eyes... but, to each their own. I'm fluent in English (though I wish I spoke a few more languages!). I love kids, though I don't have any of my own, so it's completely fine if you do. I'm active, healthy, and I enjoy clean, unprocessed eating—though I will never turn down dark chocolate or a good chocolate chip cookie!

If any of this resonates with you, I'd love to connect. Looking forward to hearing 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! :)

8 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! :)

Hey! I’m 21F and a student, and I thought I’d give this a shot because I’d really like to meet a few people I can actually become good friends with.

I’m into movies and TV shows, anime, books, and random conversations about literally anything. Some stuff I’ve loved: Sherlock, Dexter, Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon, Attack on Titan, The Silent Patient and A Thousand Splendid Suns.

You definitely don’t need to have the same interests as me. I actually like getting to know people who have completely different hobbies and hearing about the things they’re obsessed with.

I’m mainly looking for people around my age (21 to 24) NO creeps pls

If that sounds like you, send me a message!

heyy! currently on a 2 hour break after finishing work, and had nothing to do, so I wanted to find someone to talk to. this can be simply be short term or we can perhaps be friends afterwards, I don’t particularly mind.

we can talk about whatever; anything that’s currently stressing you out, random rants about your interests/hobbies, something cool you found out recently, etc.

though a disclaimer - I tend to respond with the same energy you direct to me, so please do talk and not let it become one sided. and no weirdos please.
