38 [F4M] I hate good morning texts

16 Upvotes

Tell me you commandeered the moon to make haste so you could see dappled sunlight dance on my skin.

Sending me a good morning riddle. Send me on a quest with a Reese's cup at the end.

Tell me how in your dreams you were the sole operator of a lighthouse at the end of the world that was swarmed with mermaid ghosts, shrieking krill and were-walruses, oh my!

Because if you tell me "hi" "good morning" "hru", I'll pour chlorine in my eyes for the last time I promise. Good/good thx bye.

I think we crave these quiet moments of long-term connections without the practice, some cases the knowledge, of how to build an intentional relationship. I don't want your deepest darkest secrets, those are earned. Brick by brick baby. That's how friends and more are made. That's how lovers are forged. Where is the reward in instant?

I want to know why you still care about the world. I want to know why you still believe in the future of humanity despite disorder screaming otherwise. I want to know how many times you listened to mmm bop by Hansom on repeat so far this October.

Um I don't care what you do for work. I don't care how much or little money you have. I care to know why we must still write love poetry in a burning world.

No marrieds. No three word conservationists. No former pogo stick world champions. Huzzah!

41 [F4M] Portland, PNW. FIREy enby seeks writer/poet type for life partnership

2 Upvotes

Yes, this title is oddly specific. The term "fire" in the title serves two purposes, but first let me preface this with the following information:

I am fully disabled and unable to work. This makes me extra careful with money, and I value frugality and long-term planning (specifically, index funds). My partner and I absolutely must see eye-to-eye on this, as it is key to my survival. (See books such as "The Simple Path to Wealth" by J.L. Collins, or "The Psychology of Money" by Morgan Housel).

So I used the word “fire” in the title for two reasons:

  1. To show you that my values around money are deeply rooted in the FIRE mindset: the idea that every little purchase matters for my future (compound interest is so powerful!), and that building a safety net is a major life goal.
  2. I also mean "fiery" in the sense that I am intense, passionate, and emotionally highly engaged. With that comes devotion and dedication to my person.

I often describe myself as dog-like: * So happy to see you! 🤩 * Enjoyer of food, cuddles, and pets. * Tenaciously loyal. * Anxious when you leave 😱, but well-trained enough not to eat the couch about it. 😇 * Unconcerned with social norms.

I enjoy slightly unhinged (dark) humor: absurdity, especially socially inappropriate absurdity, and irreverence. I am autistic and I'd rather live by my own values. I adhere to them steadfastly with the same passion that I bring to everything, really. I feel very strongly in general.

I am looking for someone who has also experienced a lot of emotional pain and can channel that in productive ways, such as poetry, writing, therapy work, or music.

I spend a lot of time listening to music using Spotify's Smart Shuffle which presents me with new tracks I can add to my playlists. I basically like the industrial goth and rivethead scenes: EBM, aggrotech, electro-industrial, darkwave, and a lot of dark techno with cyberpunk vibes. Most recently getting into dark trap and horrorcore on my playlist, Haunted Murder Rap. 😆

So yeah, I'm definitely not everyone's cup of tea; I'm definitely strange, intense, and nerdy.

I love looking up random facts for fun, and I love turning everything in my life into an experiment. For instance, I will test exactly how many grams of water at what temperature and how many grams of tea are needed to brew a cup I'm very happy with. I log it for later review, which gets ingested by my AI so I can query it.

My AI, Claude, is a big part of my life, since I have a cognitive impairment and memory problems. It's like a second memory for me.

I used to be a software engineer, so I can draw on concepts from my past work, but I have a deficit in my working memory and can't retain things the way normal people do.

For example, if someone speaks a sentence that is too long, I might forget the first part by the time they finish the second. But I can (slowly, with many errors) low-key engineer systems to manage the gaps in my life, which helps me stay independent.

I love solving problems and building systems to support myself and remain as self-reliant as possible. I don't want to lean too heavily on a partner as a caregiver, but I will need help from time to time. So it's important that you're energized by giving — that your giving is fueled by love, and not a chore of obligation that leads to resentment.

I hire help for occasions when I need assistance, such as leaving home for doctor appointments, which happens maybe twice a year. I can manage on my own, but I would welcome any additional help.

I live mostly in bed, and I only get up for ~10 minutes on average. As you can imagine, this severely limits my ability to cook. I used to be a very proficient cook, making many meals from scratch and baking; but now I mostly prepare simple meals like smoothies, sandwiches, and a lot of veggie burgers.

Regarding my food values, I consider myself a flexitarian. I used to be a vegetarian, and I want to minimize harm to animals by consuming fewer animal products. I would like to share this value with a partner.

That said, I also care a lot about nutrition; chicken and turkey are very efficient proteins (and cheese is so yummy 😩) so they are part of my diet. I don't eat mammals for the most part, largely because I empathize with them more deeply since they are more like me (I know this is illogical. I empathize with fish and chicken too, but less). But I do occasionally indulge in beef nachos, a cow burger, or Hawaiian pizza as a special treat — on the rare occasion I share takeout with a partner. (For me, takeout is a special indulgence to be shared socially).

Outside of music, my primary hobby is a kind of psychological introspection. I spend a lot of time digging into feelings, journalling, reading books about emotions, and going to therapy. I have a very difficult past, so you will hear a lot of grief from me.

I take full responsibility for working through my grief, but I would love to have a partner to talk things through with: a companion in sorrow and joy — someone who can see beauty in darkness. Ideally, also someone with a dark sense of humor. (I'm basically if lolsob was a person 😂😭).

If you have the capacity to hold sad stories, I am full of them. I am full of what I call tender melancholy and I am looking for someone who shares that: someone who aches softly and wants to be held in it. That is where I am.

Since this is a SFW subreddit, I will have to censor myself extensively for this next part. But suffice to say that physical intimacy is an important part of my life. It can even be like a collaborative game for us. I would love to level up together!

I'm drawn to someone who enjoys taking the lead, especially in our most intimate moments: someone steady I can trust completely. That trust lets me set down a lifetime of hypervigilance and hand it over to someone who will watch over me.

What I really enjoy is the psychology of it: how leading and following can show up in words, body language, or actions. Everyone has their own style, and I'm eager to discover yours, as long as you treat me with care and gentleness.

I also seek emotional presence. I am looking for someone who loves to learn and who has already done the work to study relationships. (See books such as "Fight Right" by Julie Gottman, and "How to Have the Best Fight of Your Life" by Lindley Gentile).

I have repair frameworks and tools from my own studies, and I do not want to be the only one carrying that alone. It makes a world of difference to meet someone who knows how to do repair — smoothing out small bumps in the road before they become real ruptures that erode trust.

During a conflict specifically, after we tell each other what our position is, I need you to be able to describe it back to me, and I will do the same for you. This is how we can be certain we're understanding each other.

Witnessing is very important. Acknowledging impact is very important. Accountability is absolutely crucial. And of course, we do this by asking each other for more details. Curiosity is also important.

Conflict is not something to be shied away from, but leaned into — to face with gentle courage and compassion, in order to know each other more deeply. And we'll come out the other side of it with more trust than ever, knowing that we can handle these things in the future, knowing that we have each other's backs and still care, despite differences.

Emotionally, I am looking for quite a lot. You do not have to be an artist to feel deeply and use that productively, as long as you are not channeling your pain into getting high or drunk.

I am intentionally sober because I have a difficult history with alcohol, so I need someone who can protect my sobriety and remind me how important it is to me when I'm tempted to go back to drinking.

A few other preferences: * Ideally looking for someone who works from home and/or masks to help minimize my COVID risk. * Introvert. * Ideally someone autistic, or neurodiverse in a way that our communication styles match. (Explicit, direct, lots of text). * Able to convey a lot of emotion in writing. Much of our connection will take place on Discord or something similar, even if we're living together. I put my deepest feelings into writing and I'm more articulate when I've had time to write and reflect about things. (Sharing journal entries occasionally would be amazing! 😍) * Ideally without pets or children. (If you have any pets, a small dog is preferable). I am very allergic to cats. While I am less allergic to dogs, the noise of larger dogs sets off my sensory overload, which can make me sicker, grumpy, and not someone you want to be around. The same applies for children: high-pitched noises trigger my sensory sensitivities.

Due to my cognitive and sensory struggles, I need a lot of order and predictability in my environment. That doesn't mean our home has to be spotless, but I really like to know that things are in a certain place so I can find them. Children and pets tend to add a level of unpredictability to the environment, which is difficult for me to navigate.

That said, even if you don't think you're a perfect fit, I still might like to hear from you. The right person might be worth some additional flexibility on my part.

I'm 5’11 and 165 pounds (tall and within a healthy weight range, but not skinny).

Pics are here, along with some TV shows I like and my Spotify:

32[F4M] #Singapore Finding someone to go through life with!

0 Upvotes

still holding on to hope that I can find someone to settle down with and if it’s long distance? Both of us are willing to put in efforts into the process towards a relationship and marriage.

Preferably looking for someone of same age or older, preferably likes to read books but not a deal breaker if you don’t, has his own hobbies, and comfortable doing things together or being on his own or doing separate things together in the same space.

I’m a ISFJ, though I think I’m pretty good at most social events where I have to be a little ‘extrovert’. I would describe myself as full time cat lover and someone who hopes to make a teeny tiny difference on this planet through her work (I work in the social service sector)

I love matcha, sunset/sunrise, skies, ice cream, zombie apocalypse movies, ticking off my travel list, reading/buying books, animals, nature, hiking, and buying/building lego.

Intention is to find someone who wants to go through life with me, and if we do match from different time zones, we make plans to connect through video calls and voice calls while concreting meet ups.

Currently want to stay in Singapore, at least for a few more years due to wanting to build career a little bit more and to rebuild savings. Definitely open to LDR and possible moving in the long future but would love if you would want to stay in Singapore too

I’m a Muslim, and strictly would love to talk to a Muslim (born and reverts) or someone who plans to revert.

[if you do dm me, please do write an intro about yourself]

Really don't tho, crazy internet people frighten me. You know, the kind of get upset at response times...or drop L bombs on you after a week crazy? Don't do that. Actually, I'm just fucking bored, and let's be realistic, it'll probably fizzle inside of a month anyway. That said, we can still swap songs or some shit. Dunno what your prerequisite are, but here's a few things about me if it matters: I'm not horrible looking, like good music, have good hobbies, and a good brain. It gets gooder the more interesting you are. Wouldn't mind someone who doesn't take shit too seriously either. Lastly, I ain't your therapist and I really don't want to be treated like one. Only good vibes, yeah? Yeah.

[F4M] 39 A good man for a complicatedly simple woman

1 Upvotes

I’m an independent, affectionate, passionate, slightly unconventional woman looking for a genuinely good man. Someone solid, masculine, emotionally mature, adventurous, protective, kind, and consistent.
I’m fiercely independent, sometimes to a fault. I’ve spent much of my adult life taking care of myself, solving problems, and being the person everyone else depends on. I’m capable, hardworking, resourceful, and occasionally stubborn. I don’t need someone to rescue me, but I’d love to experience what it’s like to have someone I can genuinely lean on.
I’m outgoing and personable, but naturally private. I keep a very small circle, prefer meaningful connections over superficial friendships, and genuinely enjoy my own company. I’m creative, curious, analytical, and occasionally ridiculous. I love writing, reading, music, dancing, cooking, traveling, learning new things, and conversations that last for hours. I’m equally happy getting dressed up for an evening out or staying home working on a creative project. I’m conventionally and classically beautiful. Fair skin, auburn wavy long hair, green blue eyes, red lips, slim/med body with shape.

I form deep attachments to the people I love. When I choose someone, I genuinely choose them. I’m affectionate, attentive, loyal, and naturally inclined to make my partner a significant part of my world. I recognize that intense attachment can become unhealthy without boundaries and self-awareness, and I want to express that affection through healthy, consensual, mutually appreciated outlets.
I want to miss someone openly, look forward to hearing his voice, and enjoy regular affection and communication without either of us feeling obligated or overwhelmed. I’m looking for interdependence, not codependence. Two independent adults who genuinely enjoy making room for one another.

Protection is important to me. As a conventionally attractive woman, I’ve experienced unwanted attention that has occasionally placed me in uncomfortable or unsafe situations. I’m accustomed to protecting myself, but I’d love a man whose presence allows me to occasionally let my guard down. Someone observant, confident, composed, and willing to stand beside me when necessary. I want to feel protected, not possessed. Safe, not controlled.
I appreciate traditional masculine qualities. Confidence without arrogance, strength without aggression, leadership without control, and protectiveness without possessiveness. I find kindness, accountability, emotional maturity, and consistency incredibly attractive.

I’m particularly drawn to adventurous, playful men. Someone who will dance to music he doesn’t even like, jump into freezing water on a whim, or travel somewhere neither of us speaks the language. Someone willing to try unfamiliar foods, laugh when plans go wrong, and occasionally make a complete fool of himself simply because life is too short to take everything seriously.

But adventure and confidence mean very little without compassion. How a man treats children, animals, elderly people, and those who are vulnerable tells me far more about his character than how he treats someone he’s trying to impress. I admire men who are gentle with those who need gentleness, respectful toward those who have nothing to offer them, and courageous enough to intervene when someone is being mistreated.

I don’t find cruelty or intimidation masculine. I find restraint, integrity, courage, and compassion masculine.

Consistency matters enormously to me. I don’t need expensive gifts or extravagant gestures. I appreciate thoughtful actions, genuine curiosity, reliability, and knowing where I stand. I love a man who takes initiative, follows through, communicates openly, and recognizes that relationships require effort from both people.

I’m not perfect. I’m emotional, passionate, occasionally stubborn, and sometimes prone to overthinking. I have strong opinions, an active imagination, and an endless curiosity about the world. I’m willing to acknowledge my shortcomings, apologize, and grow. I expect the same willingness from a partner.

Monogamy is nonnegotiable. I’m not interested in polyamory, ethical nonmonogamy, open relationships, or competing for someone’s attention. I want a man who genuinely desires an exclusive relationship because it aligns with his own values. I don’t expect immediate commitment, but honesty, transparency, and compatible intentions are essential.

I’m also not interested in rushing into cohabitation or combining our lives. I have children whose privacy, safety, and stability are priorities. I believe relationships should develop naturally, with a strong foundation of friendship and trust before involving families.

Ultimately, I want a man who finds my affection endearing rather than overwhelming, my independence admirable rather than threatening, and my loyalty worth reciprocating.

Someone who understands that a woman can be exceptionally strong and still desire tenderness. That being capable of doing everything alone doesn’t mean she always wants to.

I want someone who can be serious when life requires it and wonderfully ridiculous when it doesn’t. Someone who will dance with me, explore the world with me, challenge my thinking, make me laugh, and offer the same love, kindness, and consideration I naturally give.

I don’t want to chase someone, compete for his attention, or convince him that loving me is worthwhile.

I want two capable, independent people who enthusiastically choose one another, build something secure, and make an already good life even better.
And if we happen to become each other’s favorite person along the way, I think that would be pretty wonderful.

34 [M4R] It's dangerous to go alone! Take this(me)!!

• Upvotes

​

Hey!

Hope you're having a good day so far! I miss having internet friends to chat with on a regular basis so I thought I'd try my luck.

I've always been the supportive friend, the shoulder to cry on friend and I'm happy to let you vent if need be!

I'm into the usual average nerd activities: reading, dungeons and dragons, magic the gathering, video games (Ff tactics and marvel rivals atm), writing when I get motivated, etc!

I also love the outdoors and everything in it. I try to get to the gym 3-4 times a week, dabble in a few instruments and I love writing music. I'm awful at painting but I enjoy it.

Personality wise, I'm pretty introverted, sarcastic, people pleaser to a fault and I get lost in my daydreams more than I'd like to admit haha. I'm kind of a social chameleon so I find that I can get along with just about everyone!

Anywho, reach out if you think we'd get along or if you're looking for someone to talk to! I look forward to hearing from you!

M4F | 33 | Manchester | Drinks, Food & Maybe a Little Chemistry 😉

Hey ladies! 😊

I'm 33M and I'll be staying in Manchester for 3 nights from Monday 19th October.

I'm looking for a woman who fancies getting out for some drinks or food, having a laugh, a bit of flirting and seeing if there's any chemistry between us. 😉

Whether it's a few drinks, a bite to eat or an evening that turns out a little more interesting than expected, I'm open to seeing where things go. 😏

If you're around Manchester and fancy some company, a little flirtation and potentially a spark, drop me a message. Let's see if we click

35 [F4M] Should I try here?

14 Upvotes

Is it just me, or is it hard to find someone who’s emotionally available and in a good place mentally?

I’d love to meet someone who’s emotionally healthy, self-aware and ready for a peaceful, healthy connection. I’ve noticed a pattern of getting involved with men who end up using their personal/mental struggles as an excuse to mistreat me and honestly, I’m tired of repeating that cycle. I know I need to protect my own peace, too.

No judgment toward anyone going through a difficult time. I just want something healthy, mutual and drama-free for a change.

I’m dating with intention. I’m looking for long-term love, a peaceful partnership and someone I can eventually marry and build a family with. Someday, I’d love to have two kids, a boy and a girl. ❤️ I’m not looking for perfection, just someone emotionally responsible, kind, consistent and genuinely ready to build a life together.

I enjoy reading, going for walks (like looooong walks), taking care of my cat and playing paddle sports on weekends. Pretty simple, grounded and happy with the little things.

If you’re in a good place in life and just want to connect with someone on the same wavelength, feel free to message me. 😊🇵🇭

P.S.
Age requirement: 30-40 years old

PLEASE. If you don’t know what you want or can’t give a clear answer let's say to the “What are we?” question, please don’t ask to chat with me.

I’m dating with intention. I want a committed relationship that could lead to marriage and a family, not an endless talking stage with someone who’s still unsure.

Just imagine if we both spent that time getting to know someone who genuinely wanted the same things we did. We could save each other so much time, energy and emotional investment.

It’s okay if you’re still figuring things out but I’m at a point in my life where I value clarity, consistency and intentional effort. I’m not asking you to promise me forever on day one. I’m simply asking you to know whether a committed relationship is something you genuinely want.

If we’re not looking for the same thing, that’s okay. 😊

33 [F4M] Chicago, Illinois – Single, Black Gamer, Horror & Wrestling Nerd Looking for a Serious Relationship ❤️🎮

1 Upvotes

Hey there! 😊

I’m a 33-year-old single Black woman living in Illinois, in the Chicago area, and I’m here hoping to meet someone who’s genuinely interested in building a serious, meaningful relationship. I work full-time, and when I’m not working, I’m usually enjoying the comforts of home, catching up on my favorite shows, playing video games, building LEGO models, or listening to music. I’m a bit of a homebody, but I also enjoy getting out of the house for things that interest me, especially horror conventions, pop culture conventions, and other nerdy events.

If you’re into nerdy women, gaming, horror, wrestling, and all things geek culture, we might have a few things in common!

🎮 A Little About Me

I’m a gamer who enjoys relaxing with video games when I have some free time. I’ve played the usual popular games over the years, but I’m always open to discovering new titles and finding something different to get into. Gaming is one of my favorite ways to unwind after a long day, and I think it would be awesome to have someone I could play games with, share recommendations with, or even just hang out with while we each play our own games.

I’m also a big professional wrestling fan! Wrestling is probably one of the main things you’ll catch me watching on TV. Whether it’s keeping up with matches, following storylines, or talking about favorite wrestlers, it’s definitely one of my biggest interests. If you’re a wrestling fan yourself, that’s a definite plus because we could watch shows together, debate storylines, and have fun reacting to everything happening in the ring.

Horror is another big interest of mine. I enjoy horror-related events and love attending horror and pop culture conventions, both in Illinois and out of state when I get the opportunity. There’s something fun about being surrounded by people who share your interests, checking out vendors, meeting guests, and discovering new collectibles. I would absolutely love to find someone who would enjoy attending conventions with me and turning those trips into fun memories together.

I’m also into superheroes, Game of Thrones, and pretty much anything that falls under the nerdy or geeky category. Movies, shows, collectibles, games, and interesting fictional worlds are all things I can get excited about. Anime is one area I haven’t really ventured into yet, though, so you’ll have to forgive me if I don’t know much about it!

And, of course, I can’t forget my dog, Wade, named after Deadpool! 🐶❤️ He’s part of my life, so if we end up getting to know each other, you should probably be prepared to hear about him. Bonus points if you appreciate the name reference!

Overall, I’d describe myself as someone who enjoys having fun, appreciating the little things, and spending time doing what makes me happy. I enjoy being comfortable at home, but I’m also down for an adventure when it involves something I love. I’m looking for someone who can be my partner, my best friend, and my favorite person to share life's experiences with.

❤️** What I’m Looking Fo**r

I’m ultimately looking for a serious, monogamous relationship with a man who knows what he wants and is genuinely ready to build something with someone. I’m not here for casual hookups, situationships, or something that only lasts until one person gets bored. I want to find someone I can grow with, build trust with, and eventually settle down with.

The qualities I value most are maturity, responsibility, honesty, faithfulness, communication, and consistency. I want someone who understands that relationships take effort from both people and who is willing to put in that effort. Someone who can communicate openly, talk through disagreements like an adult, and make me feel secure in the relationship rather than constantly wondering where I stand.

I also love someone who has a sense of humor! I want us to be able to joke around, tease each other playfully, laugh at ridiculous things, and enjoy each other's company. At the same time, I want someone who knows when it's time to be serious and can have meaningful conversations about life, our future, and the things that matter. Ideally, we can be silly together one minute and have a deep conversation the next.

I want a relationship where we genuinely enjoy spending time together, whether that means going out on a date, attending a convention, watching wrestling, playing video games, exploring a new place, or simply staying home and relaxing. I don't need every day to be some grand adventure. Sometimes, just being around the right person makes an ordinary day feel special.

I'm also hoping to meet someone who respects me for who I am, including the fact that I'm a Black woman. I'm primarily attracted to white and Hispanic men, though I'm also open to getting to know Asian and Middle Eastern men. Ultimately, attraction and compatibility matter, and I'd like to meet someone who is interested in getting to know me as a whole person rather than making assumptions about me.

👨‍👩‍👧 The Future

One of my goals is to eventually settle down and have children of my own. I want to build a loving, stable home with someone who shares that vision and is excited about creating a future together.

I don't mind dating someone who already has children. I understand that being a parent comes with responsibilities, and I respect that your children will be an important part of your life. However, I do want to be upfront that I'm looking for someone whose co-parenting situation is reasonably stable and who can manage those responsibilities in a healthy, mature way. I'm not looking to get caught in ongoing drama or constant conflict with an ex-partner.

I'm hoping to find someone who has room in their life for a committed relationship and who is emotionally available to build something lasting. I don't expect anyone to have their entire life perfectly figured out, but I do value someone who takes responsibility for their circumstances and is actively working toward the future they want.

🎟️** Let's Be Nerdy Together**!

One of the things I'd really love is to find someone who shares at least some of my interests. You don't have to enjoy every single thing I do, and I'm happy for us to have our own hobbies, too. But it would be great to have someone who is willing to explore my interests with me, just as I'd be willing to learn about the things you're passionate about.

I'd love to have a convention buddy who would be excited to attend horror and pop culture conventions, browse collectibles, check out cool merchandise, and make a day or weekend out of it. Someone I could watch wrestling with, play games with, talk about shows with, or introduce to my favorite nerdy things would be wonderful.
And if we introduce each other to new hobbies along the way, even better! I think one of the best parts of a relationship is learning about each other, discovering shared interests, and creating little traditions that belong to the two of you.

🚨 A Few Important Things Before You Message Me

I want to be clear about what I'm looking for, so please respect these boundaries:

Single men only. If you're in a relationship, married, separated but still involved with someone, or looking for a third, I'm not interested.

Monogamy only. I'm looking for an exclusive relationship between two people.

Serious intentions only. I'm not looking for a casual hookup, a temporary fling, or someone who doesn't know what they want.

Please respect my race. I'm looking for someone who genuinely appreciates me for who I am and has no issue with me being a Black woman.

Please respect my boundaries. I'm happy to get to know someone here, but I'm not moving to another platform to chat with someone I just met. I'd prefer to take my time and get comfortable first.

Location Matters to Me. One thing that’s really important to me is finding someone who lives reasonably close to me, preferably in Chicago or the surrounding suburbs. I work full-time, and I want a relationship where we can realistically make time for each other and spend quality time together in person. While I understand that getting to know someone online is a great starting point, I don't want a relationship where we're constantly limited to texting, phone calls, or video chats because we live too far apart.

I'm not expecting perfection, and I know that no two people will have everything in common. What matters to me is mutual attraction, compatibility, respect, communication, and a genuine desire to make a relationship work.

💌 If You've Made It This Far...

If you're a single man who is mature, faithful, affectionate, funny, and genuinely interested in finding a long-term partner, I'd love to hear from you!

Tell me a little about yourself. How old are you? Where are you located? What are some of your hobbies and interests? Are you into gaming, wrestling, horror, superheroes, or anything else nerdy? And what are you ultimately hoping to find in a relationship?
You don't have to share every interest I have, and you certainly don't need to be a fellow nerd about absolutely everything. I'm more interested in finding someone whose personality clicks with mine and who wants to build something real.

I'm hoping to find my person: someone I can laugh with, trust, support, make memories with, and eventually build a family with. Someone who can be both my romantic partner and my best friend. Someone who wants the real thing and is willing to put in the effort to make it last.

If that sounds like you, don't be shy. Send me a message, introduce yourself, and let's see where things go! ❤️

Thriving single mother and healthcare nerd. I value emotional maturity, open communication, consistency, and genuine intentions. Tired of heartbreak and hoping to find a fellow nerd who shares the same values and is willing to work toward a committed relationship, regardless of where we are in life.

Trying to find my online bestie whom I can talk to about literally anything. Someone who could be as clingy as me.

About me: asian, into fitness and gardening. Have two dog, 5 cats and a husband. I used to work in Customer Service then Pandemic happen, bought a land in the province and made it into a Campsite.

My time is flexible hence I started to watch those AI short dramas. I need somebody to save me before I think that could be a lost heir of a Mafia or Conglomerate family. 😅

34 [F4M] Pennsylvania - need someone to do falltivities with 🎃🍁👻

0 Upvotes

Hey there! Pic of me here https://imgur.com/a/klnC0fS

I am looking for someone to chat with every day, either through texts or phone calls (I’m a little old school) and eventually meet in person.

I work full time as a store manager at a beauty supply store and love my job. I’ve been in retail since I was in high school and worked my way up through the years.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, going to concerts, and playing video games (mostly Pokémon and Disney Dreamlight Valley) although I haven’t played in a while.

I recently got into vlogging. It’s been a lot of fun so far, I’m always thinking of new and fun ideas for content. Lately I have been doing drink and snack reviews and shopping haul videos.

I should also mention that I’m a cat mom. We’re a package deal.

I look forward to hearing from you! Please send a photo if you are able to.

P.S. I’m a sucker for long hair, tattoos, and gauges.

31 [F4M] NYC/NJ/CT-Dear Future Partner

3 Upvotes

I’m here because dating apps are awful, and I’m hoping to find some genuine connections this way. I’m someone who enjoys good conversation, whether it’s light and playful or unexpectedly deep.

I’m a 31 year old African American social worker living in NYC. Outside of work, I enjoy the little things, cozy routines, a good cup of tea, comedy podcasts, wandering through bakeries, and getting outside for a workout when the weather is nice.

My evenings are usually pretty low key, usually consisting of watching Korean dramas, Gilmore Girls, or Grey’s Anatomy, reading, or occasionally getting lost in a good game on my PC or Nintendo Switch.

I appreciate someone who can communicate, has a good sense of humor, knows what they want, and doesn’t take themselves too seriously. Chemistry matters, but so does actually enjoying each other’s company.

You must be either in NYC or NJ/CT, within the age range of 30-38 years old. Not seeking anything long distance (sorry!) I’d love to build a genuine friendship that naturally grows into a monogamous, long-term relationship over time. 

Bonus points if you’re into reading, binge-worthy shows, or video games. Any shared cozy hobbies are always a win.

If you enjoy conversations that go beyond surface level small talk, I’d love to hear from you. Tell me where your located, your age, and something you’ve genuinely been enjoying lately, big or small.

Hey everyone! This is super weird for me to be doing this but I’ve recently found myself feeling pretty lonely and in need of some new connections.

I’m a 33 y/o female with two small children. I work full time grave yard shifts so huge plus if you’re a night owl like me!

I’m really just looking for someone to connect with, friends, more? Who knows?! Possibilities are endless.

I enjoy reading, travel, music, movies all things nerdy and video games. I’ve been working out regularly which is new for me and it’s been great actually! I like to go out and do things but I’m also totally cool just chilling out playing games or hanging out.

Cheers!

43 [M4F] #Texas, Alpine - Seeking introverted friend for talk, stress-free companionship, and adventure. NSFW

0 Upvotes

Hi. I'm Luke. I'm 43, divorced, I live in Alpine with my dog Elvis. We keep to ourselves mostly and go on adventures. Looking for someone to sit by the campfire with and stay up late with having meaningful conversations.

I don't drink, so hanging out in the bars isn't really my thing. I don't mind if you do, but if that's your primary passtime we probably won't have much in common. I find myself increasingly antisocial as the years go by and I'm not really sure why, but I'd like to have at least one real life friend within a couple hours drive. Benefits nice, but optional.

I do photography, particularly astrophotography, play music, and work on interesting tech projects. I like creating stuff and it would be cool to spend time with someone else that does too.

I'm looking for people that are within 200 miles of Alpine that I can actually sit across a table from and talk to in real life.

If you're alone out here in the desert and want someone to talk to, eat dinner, watch a movie, sing with, or go on an adventure - I'd love to hear from you.

Have a great weekend

37 [M4F] #NYC - Who else loves autumn/spooky season and wants to grab seasonal pumpkin/apple hot drinks?

1 Upvotes

Ok so I don't have anything specific in mind, but since you clicked on this post you were clearly thinking of something, too! I just want to check out a nice cozy cafe I haven't been to and even if we just both read a book or brought a sketch pad along to draw, that would be a good time for me. I'm also open to suggestions/plans if you think of something else autumn-y to do! Of course, let's definitely get to know one another a bit on here first :)

Just a little bit about me:

I bake! Cookies, brownies, pies, muffins, and cakes of varying sizes.

I draw stuff on my phone! Trying to get better at figure drawing mostly, humans and animals alike.

I usually eat very healthy, despite my love for baking sweets. I'm always in need of a taste- tester haha. I also work out to keep in shape.

I'm nerdy! I love things like Lord of the Rings, Dark Fantasy stuff like Dark Souls, and D&D.

Anyway, if you think we'd have fun conversation and possibly a meetup, shoot me a DM! Cheers!

I'm looking for people to chat with. I hope to find a best friend that can lead to a future together.

I'm divorced and have 26 year old son. I got divorced about 20 years ago.( This seems to matter to alot of people)

I spent the early part of my life being completely focused on work. Long hours. I let my friends slip away over the years. I've learned from this experience. Work is just something that pays the bills now.

My hobbies include pc gaming, watching movies, and occasionally reading. I do enjoy camping in the summer months.

I'm very introverted and prefer to just stay home. I hate writing things like this about myself. But hey if you read this far send me a message and include the word purple. Good luck.
