Previously, I have only ever been in long term relationships ( 2 to be exact). With a permanent move to Ottawa imminent this sunday to chase my career goals, logic told me to just keep things light, go on one date around Toronto and pack my bags with zero drama.

The problem is that I have virtually no chill. I have been holding in so much affection, energy and genuine care for way too long that it is basically bursting at the seams. I know myself well enough to realize that even if the plan was to keep it simple, I am in severe danger of catching feelings on date one if the girl is my kinda girl.

To give you an idea; I am 28, 6'2 and have a broad and athletic build. I am definitely not a gym bro, just someone who stays in shape playing competitive soccer and easily loses five hours rallying on a tennis court.

Career-wise, I come from a legal background with a double master's in law and recently stepped away from the field to build my own international trade venture.

I will make plans around coffee or late afternoon dinner. You might get flowers and or a kiss on the hand. We talk and talk and talk and go home afterwards.

Accepting all races, ethinicities and nationalities for my last date in toronto. So who's going to be the lucky girl bcz i am genuinely excited ya know.

Hey! I’m a 23M from Scarborough looking to meet a girl who’s free this weekend and would be down to go on a little adventure together.

I drive, so I’m happy to go somewhere around an hour or two away. I was thinking somewhere like Muskoka, a cute little town, a scenic lookout, or somewhere about 3 hrs drive from Toronto where you wanna go (we can discuss). We could explore, grab lunch together, take a few pictures, listen to music, and just enjoy getting out of the city for a bit. Basically being a romantic company to one another.

A little about me: I’m 5’6”, have shoulder-length hair, and consider myself a pretty chill and cute guy. I enjoy late-night drives, good conversations, trying new places, and spending time with someone I genuinely vibe with. I’m also a gentleman and appreciate someone who can laugh, joke around, and be herself.

Not looking to make this some overly planned or awkward meetup. Just two people getting to know each other, enjoying a drive, and seeing how we click. If we get along, maybe this could turn into more adventures together. :)

I’m open to different ages, and I tend to get along well with older women too. Ideally, you’re free this weekend and actually interested in going somewhere together, rather than just chatting endlessly. We can figure out the destination based on what we both feel like doing, maybe plan adventure like hiking, riding jetski together?

Happy to exchange SFW pics and chat a little beforehand so we know who we’re meeting.
If a spontaneous little road trip sounds like your kind of weekend or potentially look for a relationship then hit me up:)

Hello /r4r! I don't know about you all, but last year has been a crazy ride for me. Heartbreak and happiness, letdowns and adventures, visiting loves ones and being alone. I ended up making a huge change of course in my life, got a new job, made new friends and lost many old ones. It's been a while since I've been this content with where I have ended up. Somehow, somewhere though, something feels a little amiss - I miss having someone to share everyday with. If that's you too, well maybe we can hit it off and see where it goes? 😊

Anyway, a little about me - I'm basically your friendly neighbourhood funny guy™ (mostly self proclaimed), that usually ends up in more funny situations than not. Like no seriously, the amount of stupid life stories I have is sometimes a little worrying (try me). I'm a little awkward around new people but once I warm up to you I'm mostly funny and witty, you just better hope you enjoy being assaulted with puns. If you like shitty jokes, you should message me your best (worst?) one!

I used to watch a ton of TV and movies, and I still try to keep up when I can - I watch pretty much anything and always looking for recommendations. Also, if you haven't seen the show Severance you should stop and go watch now. I'll wait. I always love talking / fangirling / discovering stupid fan theories about stuff, so if you want to talk about it, I'm all game! Book recommendations are also welcome - I reallly want to get back into reading as many books as I did as a kid. I love some science fiction, but I'll read anything interesting too!

Okay, let's see, hobbies? Oh god I have too many to list. I sometimes feel like I'm on an endless rotation between new and possibly pointless hobbies that I get into for a while and then completely abandon. Do I enjoy puzzles? You bet I do. Magic Tricks? Pick a card. Juggling? Actually no I hit my face with the ball and then stopped, but anyway. Photography? Been there snapped that. Am I particularly good at any of these? uhm... well, I'm fun at parties at least! Point is, I love learning new stuff, so if you've got a hobby you want to share with someone (or just want to learn something random together) you should most definitely count me in!

So what am I looking for? Mostly to meet cool people to do cool stuff with - road trips, travelling, 1am ice cream trips, or just making spontaneous plans - or just generally my person I guess. Maybe it'll lead to something more, or perhaps we'll just get a new friend out of it. I've got a group of friends I hang out with every so often, but honestly most of them tend to be flaky and it's just such a pain having to coordinate stuff with everyone all the time, sometimes I just want to grab someone and go do something in the moment, you know? Or jump on a discord call at the end of the day and rant about work or share a funny thing that happened that day. (Does anyone here still like talking on a call?!)

I work in tech and I'm very passionate about what I do, and love talking about it. I don't expect you to be in / familiar with any of it, but I would appreciate someone who doesn't mind me explaining and talking about stuff to them (and of course, be willing to share whatever they do / love with me in return). I feel like when something is such a big part of our lives, that's something you definitely need to be able to share with someone in some capacity.

I don't particularly care about where you're from / how tall you are / etc, all I care about is that we have some common interests and you're actually interested in meeting up and seeing where it goes! I'm honestly a little tired of the whole only talk online for a day or two and then get ghosted routine. I'm not the most physically attractive, so if that bothers you - well now you know.

Anyway, that's all from me, if any of this tickles your fancy, DM me with your best/favorite pun and perhaps a little introduction about you? I'm happy to share pictures / other social media / discord if you prefer talking there (I know I do). Either ways, if you've made it here I hope you have a great day :)

Hi there! I'm looking to meet someone who enjoys good conversation and genuine connection. Looking for causal dates that could naturally grow into more. Ideally, I'd love to meet someone who is single, emotionally available, affectionate, has time and genuinely interested in getting to know each other in all ways. 

A little about me: I work in the medical field, and try to make the most of my time outside of work. I enjoy staying active and spending as much time outdoors as I can even in Winter! Whether it's playing sports, going for a run, bird watching, being out on the water, spending weekends at the cottage, or exploring a new town, I'm happiest when I'm sharing experiences with good company.

I also enjoy slower days. I love reading, especially mysteries and nonfiction, watching true crime documentaries, playing board games, working a puzzle, cooking and baking (volunteer taste testers are always welcome), spending time with my dog, and playing piano. Music is a big part of my life, and my playlists are all over the place. I'm always happy to trade recommendations!

I'd describe myself as easygoing, caring, and curious. I appreciate kindness, a good sense of humor, playfulness and passionate guys who aren't afraid to ask questions.

I'm hoping to meet someone who has a life they enjoy, passions of their own, and share a similarly active lifestyle. We don't need to share every hobby, but some similarities can help!

If I sound like someone you'd like to get to know, send me a message with a bit about you! I'd love to hear the song you've had on repeat, your favorite place to escape for a weekend, something you're passionate about or a random fact you've learned recently!

Hi there!

First of all, thank you for taking the time to read my post.
As the title suggests, I am open to both short and long term relationships, but ideally a longer term one.

I’m Suli, a 28-year-old, 6’0” creative guy living downtown who enjoys drawing, photography, and working out on a regular basis.

Recently, I decided to try my luck here after not having much success with dating apps. I was hesitant about taking this step at first, but eventually figured, what do I have to lose?

I’d describe myself as a kind, easygoing, and loyal man. As for my background, I’m Egyptian/Circassian, which has definitely played a role in shaping the man I am today.

My preferences are pretty simple. I’d love to meet someone who is emotionally available, enjoys communicating, and is open to building a genuine connection. I believe good communication, mutual effort, and consistency go a long way.

As for ethnicity, I appreciate people from all backgrounds, though I tend to be drawn to White, Middle Eastern, and Latina women. Of course, personality and chemistry also play an important role in attraction, and I believe the best connections develop naturally.

I’ve attached a picture of myself through an Imgur link (https://imgur.com/a/NFHQoCF) so we can skip the whole picture exchange part.
If you don’t feel there’s any physical attraction, that’s completely fine. No hard feelings, and no need to waste each other’s time.

Consider me a bit old-school, but I genuinely prefer getting to know someone over coffee or something similar. I find real-life conversations much more enjoyable than being stuck behind a keyboard or a screen.

If all of this sounds good to you and you feel we might click, please feel free to message me :)

Have a great day!

I know the title makes it sound like I'm a junkie, I swear I'm not (and hopefully your are not either 😄)!

Lately I've been experimenting with THC and exploring its effects, but doing it solo is a bit limited, so I'm trying to find some company for this highly productive activity. Ideally looking for something chill and relaxed.

I'm open to meet beforehand in a public space for a coffee or a walk.

About me, I'm 34, white, from France (moved here in 2021) and live downtown. I'm a regular gym-goer, so in pretty good shape, and I enjoy anything from art to going on a bike ride. My pic is in my bio.

Feel free to send me a DM if you want more info!

Hello there!
I’m an introvert who enjoys playing extrovert, open, talkative, socially confident, and always up for texting, chatting, or voice calls. I’m currently in an ethically non-monogamous relationship. My friends describe me as kind, caring, compassionate, and funny.
I work in healthcare and genuinely love what I do. I’m curious by nature and passionate about learning, with hopes of going back to school someday. I also strongly support mental health causes and women’s education and empowerment.
I love reading, cooking, hiking, people-watching, and traveling. Prague, Paris, and Grindelwald have been my favourites so far; Portugal and Italy are next! I can happily talk for hours about history, science, art, mythology, culture, astronomy, psychology, and spirituality. I’m also learning breathwork and meditation.
\*\*What I’m looking for:\*\* someone \*\*30–45\*\*, local to Toronto or close enough to meet semi-frequently, for a deep and meaningful connection that could potentially become romantic. I’m demisexual and \*\*not looking for anything sexual or physical right now mental\*\* and emotional connection comes first.
I’d love someone to talk to regularly about our days, interests, wishes, desires, books, music, travel, and the occasional looming existential crisis lol. If we click, I’m open to meeting. ☺️
I’m a feminist, pro-choice, LGBTQIA+ ally, and BLM supporter, so shared values matter.
If this resonates, send me a message and tell me a little about yourself please, more than just “Hi/Hello.” ✨

Looking for a woman cuddle buddy to make life a little more bearable. I'm not equipped to date right now, and I'm not a fan of random hook-up culture. Unfortunately, one of my top love languages is physical touch and I'm feeling the lack of it wearing my soul out.

We can just be like homies that cuddle up on the couch and talk, or watch a movie/series together, or read... whatever. I can't host for a while so it would have to be your place, but I'm a respectful guest and insist I pay for our meals/activity for the time we're together (if we decide to include those).

I'm Arab and South American mixed, light brown skinned, 5'10, have a short neat beard, buzzed head ... anything else can be talked about in DMs. :) I'm open to any race and any legal age... but please be prepared to exchange pictures beforehand so we're both comfortable.

Message me your ASL and a bit about yourself if you're interested!

Not interested in hookups/adjacent.

Hey Toronto,

I moved to the city a month or so ago from the US and I'm ready to skip the endless app swiping to find something genuine. I’m 34, 6’3”, and at a point in my life where I know who I am and what I want: a serious long-term relationship with the right woman.

About me:

-The physical: 6’3”, husky build, glasses, full head of hair, and neat stubble. I keep my style clean, dark, and intentional. I am a white guy.

-The vibe: Warm, analytical, and low-drama. I work in consulting/advisory, value direct literal communication with no mind games or subtle hints, and pride myself on being emotionally grounded and easy to talk to.

-Daily: A mix of solving complex problems, exploring local food spots, and relaxing at home. I appreciate simple pleasures, good conversation, and clear expectations.

Who I’m looking for:

I tend to naturally click best with women who are a bit nerdy, alternative, or creative. Think dark aesthetic, cool subcultures, or niche hobbies for example. Beyond the surface, I’m looking for someone who is emotionally mature, clear about what she wants, and looking to build a real future together with a partner who actually listens and shows up for her.

I tend to gravitate towards homebodies with special interests and on average click with more petite/short women but no hard fast rules there. Spectrum-friendly! Like to info-dump your latest hyper fixation? Awesome, that's a preference and I'll do it back. Dyed hair and unique outfit style? Geek out over why it makes you feel good about yourself, I'm all ears.

If you’re tired of dating games and want to see if we have chemistry, send me a message! Tell me a bit about your favorite local spot or your current obsession.

(Happy to exchange photos early on so we both know that visual chemistry is there.)

Hi

I’m 32, 6’0”, athletic, based in Mississauga, and work in the car business. I’m looking to meet a Punjabi/Indian/South Asian woman,

who’s confident, curious, and knows how to enjoy good conversation with a little flirting mixed in. 😏
I’m not looking to rush anything. Let’s talk, tease each other a little, see if the chemistry is there, and then decide where we want to take it.

I can host or travel, and I’m big on keeping things private, respectful, and comfortable for both of us.
If you think we might click, slide into my DMs. Tell me something about yourself—or just say hi and let’s see where the conversation goes. 😉

Good chemistry is hard to fake… so let’s find out if we have it.

Hi I'm a south asian girl who recently moved to North York and desperately needs local friends I can do stuff with preferably this evening! I'm chill, queer, non-judgemental and have been described as a good listener. You are preferably similar, 420 friendly and close to my age. I like hiking and nature walks and I really would like to explore the trails around me before it gets too cold.

I love all sorts of music (mostly rock, indie and metal), like watching recent horror movies and cop noirs, open to new anime recommendations and a big foodie. Show me your favourite local cheap eats after a stoned hike and we will be best friends!

I do prefer women but if you're a guy who understands what a chill platonic connection looks like then hmu!

I have recently moved dt and just want to make some friends in the area so I’ve got new people to talk/hang out with.

My building is pretty neat but doesn’t have an indoor pool so if you’ve got access to one that’s a bonus. My place is located right next to the eaton center.

I’m 24 but anyone like +/- 4 years of age will do.

Bonus I can possibly have access to an Aritzia discount as an offering 🫡

Send a message if you want to talk more let me know what hobbies or activities you’re into I do a little bit of everything. 🤩

M34 here. I love going to cinemas but lack company. Looking for people around my age who are into good movies. Lets to go to TIFF this friday. About me: I am down to earth easy going person. Born and raised in Toronto. A 9-5 er

Revue Cinema is playing “In the Mood for Love” in Nov, I’m wondering if anyone would be interested in going together!

I'd love to meet some fellow film lovers, especially fans of Chinese-language cinema. Revue is also screening a few other Wong Kar-wai films next month, including “2046” and “Chungking Express”, just FYI if you're interested.

A little about me: 29M Asian, a normal guy who will absolutely not sneakily harvest your kidney(s) in a movie theater. Just looking to make some new friends and enjoy some good films with like-minded people.

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

So I guess I'll give this a shot here.

M30 6'1 height and I like to think myself as a bodybuilder lol my life pretty much revolves around work and the gym and im looking to add a bit of love to my life (or more)

My background is mixed half persian half Pakistani but I'm born and raised in Mississauga. I have a thing for caucasian girls! But open to other ethnicities as well. Whatever life has to offer.

Not really sure what else to put on here but if you would like to connect, shoot me a message :)

So I signed up for one of those dinner with strangers apps. This one was called TimeLeft. Ended up being the only one who showed up 😅

Well this is a long shot, but I’m in Toronto looking for some company to join me for dinner.

If you need to vent to a stranger, that’s one of my specialities.

Hi everyone! Trying this out and hoping to meet someone great.

About me: 5'8", average build, South Asian, born and raised in Toronto, culturally Muslim (not very religious but still take part in traditions/customs), progressive/left leaning, work full time in the retail industry at the corporate level. I do not want to have children and I don't smoke/drink/do drugs (I'm fine if you do).

Personality wise I'm on the introverted side but comfortable going out and being with others as well. I'm very easy going and have a great sense of humour. My main interests/hobbies are anything gaming related (video games, board/card games, trivia, escape rooms), watching sports, films, music (especially heavy metal), and playing badminton.

As far as my relationship goals go I'm ideally looking towards something long-term but not opposed to something short term. I'd like to connect with someone in the GTA age 30-45 who is childfree and has similar social/political values. Shared interests or hobbies are always great but I'm also happy to learn about what you're into!

Couple photos of myself

Hi Reddit Universe!

I’ve been single for quite some time and have been yearning for a connection. Finding a partner often feels like a fantasy and has become so much more difficult during these troubling times where our lives are ruled by Match Group, AI profiles, and shallow singles meetups. I try my best to remain hopeful as to where things can go. 

Asian sober (don’t mind if you’re not and do things in moderation) non-binary they/them amab. My pronouns are important. Music, film, and improv are my holy trifecta. When I can I attend concerts that range from death metal to hip hop to pop. I've been listening to a lot of Little Simz, Rosalia, Meshuggah and Portal. Music has always brought me comfort and I would like someone to share that joy with me and curiosity for extreme sounding and challenging music. One dream I wish to be fulfilled is to go to a metal show with my partner. I’m really into art analysis! I’ve also been watching a lot of Lynch and Twin Peaks as well as Haruhi and Utena. I game when I can and currently learning Marvel Tokon. I want to get on stage more and improv more. When I’m on stage, you bet I’m gonna invite you to watch or do a jam together. I’m trying to find balance working 2 jobs and commuting downtown :’) -I currently work front desk at a yoga studio and packaging at a chocolate factory. I’m located in Scarborough/Markham and prefer that you’re close by for regular visits of downtime opposed to going to events downtown all the time.

Romantically, I’m likely demi. I take time to feel physical attraction and it differs depending on person. I haven’t had enough partners to specify lol. I’m a huge fan of cuddling and making out. I’m sterile and have no interest in having kids or pursuing marriage. I’ve been in monogamous and enm arrangements and currently seeking monogamous connections for someone stable but open for a different arrangement down the road so that we’re both happy. My ex describes me as sweet, cute, funny, honest, and down to earth. My friends describe me as observant, and curious. I’m attracted to women and fems. I connect well with those who are curious, empathetic, humble, down to earth and have a fun sense of humour and an interest in darker leaning art like horror films. I would say that I’m pretty good at texting and communicating. If you’ve read all the way here, you should message me. Tell me about your favourite music artist and what was it like when you first heard them? Also lmk where you’re situated. My pics are on my profile.

Kinda bored hanging out with boys need a girl to hangout with and have some amazing memories.
Anyone up DM me i have great plans. Bit about me ( just meet me and find it out).

Looking to meet a female for a connection, not sure what I want but I’m open minded, I enjoy to go out for a walk, grab a drink, have dinner , 32 male Chinese, let’s connect !

Looking for beautiful woman to mess around with - down for whatever you have in mind incl. ANR

please send me a message and lets see if we’re gonna vibe xx

Hey everyone, praying I'm posting this in the right place lol

Throwaway account because paranoia, but I’m an asexual South Asian woman born and raised here in Toronto and I am officially at my breaking point 😅. My mom has been hounding me nonstop about getting married and has actually started reaching out to marriage brokers. I do not want to get married anytime soon and honestly have zero interest in ever being in a real relationship.

Since reasoning with her isn't an option, I'm hoping to find a fake boyfriend to exist for a few months.

Basically, I just need someone to take some cute aesthetic pictures with me (pumpkin patch, coffee shops, the usual), so I have "proof" to show her. That is literally it. Zero strings attached, zero romance, completely fake.

If you're a closeted gay/queer guy who is also dealing with relentless family pressure, honestly, this would be an absolute win-win for both of us to get our families off our backs. I’d ideally prefer someone brown and around my age or a couple of years older just to keep it believable.

Well here goes nothing 😂 and posted!

31 [M4R] #Toronto Or Anywhere / Online - Looking for a connection with you! Something serious & romantic and/or a bit less depending on how the dynamic builds between us.

Hey there! I’m hoping to meet someone genuine and see where things go. Ideally you should be in Toronto/nearby suburbs so we can meet, but if you like my post and feel like we should chat, then please feel free to message me and I'd love to get to know each other even if you're not in/near Toronto.

I’m open-minded, whether this grows into something serious & romantic will really depend on our individual dynamic. But even so, we should have a good friendship and connection, to be able to hold fun and interesting conversations together. Chemistry is key!

A bit about me: Just like everyone else, I am a man of multitudes, so I cannot summarize everything about myself in this short post but here are a few notes about me:

I love movies, TV shows, spending some time in the sun, but also staying in when the mood strikes. These days, it's a balance of both as the warm weather leaves us, but as the cozy Fall season approaches!

I can be a homebody and also adventurous outdoors - perhaps we can go kayaking/canoeing/treetop trekking together in the warmer days, and ice skating, skiing, Christmas markets, theatres and haunted houses in the Fall/winter seasons? :)

I love cuddles, hugs, kissing, making out, forehead kisses and holding hands, and much more!

I love talking and making conversations, but you don't have to be the same way, because although I enjoy fun conversations where both of us are equally talkative, I also love when one of us is talking the other's ears off about something we enjoy and are passionate about.

I’d love to meet someone who’s kind, curious, and interested in fun conversations & having a nice time together. Now that the Fall season is upon us, it'd be wonderful to enjoy some Fall activities together as well! I know sometimes picking out activities or date ideas can be as tough as picking what movie to watch, but some ideas for what the next few months could look like could involve: Halloween events/parties, pumpkin spice lattes, board game cafes, snuggling and cuddling up together whether indoors or at the movie theatres/live play theatres, haunted houses, festivals, bar/club events & crawls, socializing & meeting new people and friends together!

Feel free to reach out if any thing in my post resonates with you. Tell me about yourself and let's go from there :)
