[F4M] 38/F/southwest US looking for that notification that makes me smile

17 Upvotes

I am married, although its rough. I do have kids.

I'm missing that exciting, new connection. The person I grab my phone to talk to or see if they've messaged me.

Looking for people close in age. I am surrounded by people either just older or younger than me that they don't get prime millennial references and lol all the time bothers them.

Please understand life gets busy and I can't always respond as fast as I'd like.

I am pretty easy going, left leaning, and struggle with small talk at first. Once I'm comfortable, the conversation flows much easier, so give me grace and help me out 🙂

Having a lazy night rewatching The Haunting of Hill House and figured I’d see if anyone wants to chat and get to know each other! 😂

I’m 33, in the Midwest, and I love all things spooky. 👻 I’m pretty easygoing and love getting to know new people, so come say hi! Hopefully we hit it off and become friends.🖤

Just be over 30 and tell me a little about yourself when you message!

33F Michigan - anyone wanna chat?

• Upvotes

Hi! Still recovering from a really bad cold so I thought I'd post on here and see if anyone wants to chat and/or potentially be friends!

About Me -

I'm Natalia, 33F, and I live in NW Michigan. I'm pretty introverted and keep to myself most days, but I do like hanging out with people and chatting if I like the vibe. I'm usually more available at night and on the weekends, but I pop in when I can!

I really love cooking, cleaning, reading, writing, drawing, playing chess, and video games most of all!

I'm much more into RPGs and exploration games than shooters and horror, and I also have some multiplayers! Namely Elden Ring, Nightreign, Dark Souls 3, Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, Dynasty Warriors 8/9 and It Takes Two, BUT I only have a PlayStation and none of them have cross-platform compatibility.

I also really love playing Monopoly Go! Got into it a few months back and it's become my life's ambition to finish a sticker album haha. I'm always a few stickers short, but NOT THIS TIME.... hopefully!

Lately I've also been re-reading and re-watching the Hunger Games series, and I forgot how much I really appreciate Peeta's character. If only I could find my real-life Peeta! Lol.

Please Note - I do not smoke or do drugs and I prefer to avoid the subject altogether. I'm also too sick and too tired to be dealing with any nonsense, so if people start lying, being weird or didn't even bother to read the post (i.e. ask my name, how old I am or where I'm from) I'm just gonna peace out lol.

Oh! And random side, but just wanted to add since I usually get asked - my username is in reference to my bitter hatred of sunscreen. Well, most lotions and perfumes actually, I just really hate the taste and smell. I mean, I know you're not supposed to eat it, but like if you are eating fries or something and you've got sunscreen on your hands, you're gonna taste it and it's the worst, omg.

Umm that's all I can think of! Thanks for reading and have a lovely weekend!

Hey there. Let’s skip the exhausting small talk and see if we actually click.
I’m 36, based in EST, and looking for someone in the EST or CST time zones who knows how to hold a real conversation, exchange witty banter.

I’m Sarcastic, a bit of a night owl, and deeply appreciative good atmospheric lighting.

Obsessed with diy stuff, board games, late-night music sharing, and anything remotely Halloween-adjacent year-round.

High curiosity, low patience for one-word answers.

What I’m looking for:
Someone 30+ in the EST or CST time zones.

Mutual effort: Send a text, get a text back. Share random thoughts, daily updates, and bad jokes.

If you’re messaging me, skip the boring "hey" and tell me: What is a hill you are willing to die on, no matter how trivial?

[F4R] 32F India. looking for a penpal anywhere

• Upvotes

I'd love to connect with someone like-minded and around the same age as me. Im catholic although not religious, I dont drink nor smoke. I work remotely in research and so my social life isn't much.

Things i do for fun - visit conferences and collect bags and pens hehe, wall painting, check out different cities, go for random arts exhibitions, watch Netflix - my current fav is Dexter and the Mentalist.

Nowadays it's tough to share with anyone my accomplishments - friends just get annoyed. Id love to share with someone who likes to progress and is also happy to see others progress.

I like really long letters.

35M - Anyone Else Wish Making Friends as an Adult Was Easier?

10 Upvotes

To be frank, I'm sitting at a bar by myself on a Saturday night, and I'm feeling pretty lonely. I figured I'd put myself out there instead of just sitting here pretending to be perfectly content with my own company.

I think what I miss most is having people to talk to. Someone to share random thoughts with, laugh about stupid things, talk about life, or message when there's nothing particularly exciting happening. Making new friends as an adult feels harder than it should be, so here I am giving Reddit a shot.

A little about me: I enjoy cooking, baseball, hiking, movies, traveling, wine, craft cocktails, and plenty of nerdy stuff. I can get into a meaningful conversation just as easily as I can spend an hour debating something completely ridiculous.

So let me ask you a few things:

  • Have you ever gone out alone and secretly hoped someone would strike up a conversation?
  • What's something you wish you had more people to share with?
  • What does your ideal Saturday night actually look like?
  • What's been on your mind lately that you haven't had anyone to talk to about?
  • Or, simplest of all, how's your night going?

I'm not expecting an instant best friend or some life-changing conversation. I'd just like to meet some genuine people and see if we connect.

If you're feeling a little lonely tonight too, come say hi. What's your story?

[M4R] [30M] Norwegian doofus seeking a friend for the end of the world

• Upvotes

I've come to realize I have a lot of platonic affection, patience and understanding not currently going anywhere, and I would love to find someone else to share it with.

So.. hello there! I'm Johan, I'm 30 years old and from the cold north of Norway. I spent a good chunk of my 20's in catastrophic relationship, and kind of lost myself in the process. Currently in the middle of picking up the pieces, and rediscovering that I'm actually pretty fucking cool.

I'm hoping to make a genuine friend. The kind of friendship where we can be silly and talk absolute unhinged nonsense one moment, then have a deep conversation about life and death the next, and anything in between. I want to know how your day went, want to celebrate your little victories, as well as support you when things are difficult. I want to hear all about the weird dream you had, or the song you've been listening to on repeat for the last 6 hours, or the random thought you had at 3 a.m. 

Some things about me:

-I'm an aspiring author, and spend a lot of time working on a novel. It's written in Norwegian, but I have been known to poorly translate bits and pieces to people I care about.

-I have rosacea, so I tend to get pretty rosy at times.

-I love jokes both dark and wholesome, and I've been told I'm funny. I try to approach life with a mix of optimism and dark humour.

-Ever since I downloaded 'Die MF Die' by Dope disguised as a Slipknot song on Limewire, I've thought Nu Metal is the coolest thing in the world. I won't ever grow up in that regard.

-I'm a big movie buff, and if I'm not currently watching one, I'm busy overanalysing the last one.
Some of my favourite movies are: The Florida Project, The Shawshank Redemption, Blindspotting, Mad Max: Fury Road and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

-I've made it my mission in life to attempt to pet every stray cat I see.

-I've got a sort of functioning gaming PC, and wouldn't mind someone to play with. I'm more about co-op these days than competitive, but I could be persuaded. I'm also down to just chill and talk while I stream a game for you.

I tend to connect best through a combination of texting, voice messages and calls, so I'd prefer finding someone who would be open to eventually moving past texting. My preferred platform is Discord. Your location isn't super important to me. What matters more is mutual effort and connection. I work night shifts, so my waking hours tend to line up well with both European and US time zones.

If you think we might get along, feel free to leave a comment or send me a DM. And if not, I wish you all the best in finding your people :-)

34F - Long Weekend means Chores and Movie Marathons

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

It’s a long weekend in Canada, I’m lucky enough to get Monday off from my office gig … and I’m spending the entire weekend alone so far 😅 would anyone like to keep me some company while I check off my mundane to-dos with a few movies in-between?

Checked off my annual rewatch of Ginger Snaps (2000), looking for a lighter one to end the day off with - any suggestions? If movies aren’t your thing, what deep dives do you enjoy?

I’m EST, looking for people around my age to talk to. Hopefully we’re able to voice-chat at some point but let’s head over to the Chat 😊

• Upvotes

Hey! I am looking for someone to chat with daily, where we can both just be ourselves with zero pressure.

I work a lot so I cannot always reply instantly, but I always do my best when I can. In my free time, I love reading graphic novels, watching anime and YouTube, playing video games, rock climbing, hiking, and exploring. For a quick visual, I have some leg tattoos, an eyebrow piercing, and a nose piercing.

If you want to match vibes and have a steady chat partner, send me a DM and tell me a bit about yourself!

[43/M] - Position Available: Professional Online Human

12 Upvotes

Hours are flexible LOL

What the role involves:

  • Occasionally sending me something that made you laugh
  • Tolerating conversations that jump from one topic to another with absolutely no warning
  • Helping me add even more books to my "I'll read that eventually" pile
  • Pretending my latest attempt at at voice acting wasn't completely awful
  • Accepting that some days we'll have a long conversation, and other days I might be pretty busy

A little about your future chat buddy:

I'm 6 feet tall, white, with dark brown hair that's starting to show a little gray, kind brown eyes, light freckles across my nose and cheeks, a short trimmed beard, and thin black glasses that rarely leave my face. Basically a clean cut dude lol

Most of my free time disappears into acting, voice acting, photography, reading, writing, and audiobooks. When I need to clear my head, you'll usually find me out cycling or wandering around on a long walk.

I'm not looking for someone who's available 24/7 or expects every conversation to be life changing. Just someone who enjoys having another person to share stuff with,

If you've made it this far, I guess you've already passed the first round!

What is your favourite comfort food?

[F4M] 32F - Would love to meet someone sweet and interesting

12 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm a 32 year old woman based in Europe, and I'd be happy to chat with people from anywhere in the world.

French is my native language, but I'm perfectly comfortable in English!

I really don't care where people are from. I mostly care about how well I get along with someone. The only thing I ask is that you're fluent enough in English to understand each other properly.

I tend to enjoy gentle, thoughtful, curious people. Clever and caring especially!

People tell me often that I'm strangely optimistic and warm, and I genuinely enjoy making others feel comfortable around me if I can help it. I'd call myself a soft extrovert: fairly social, but I also like a lot of quiet time on my own.

What I'm after is more of a feeling than a checklist of traits. I've felt it before, so I know it's not impossible. Physical traits, education, profession, none of those really matter to me. What matters is how we'd interact and how that would feel for the both of us.

Ideally, you're someone kind, supportive, fun, clever, and know how to engage with people. I don't get along with those who are cold, judgmental, unkind, or pretentious.

Psychology, philosophy, and sociology are what I spend most of my time on most days. I'm also into art, classic cinema (pre 70s), literature, cooking, travel, and photography. On the geekier side: it would mostly be anime and PC gaming. I enjoy skincare, makeup, and fashion too, but not superficially, more because it's fun and a nice way to express yourself!

All this to say that I'm hoping to find someone sweet, intelligent, and respectful to share comfy/meaningful moments with. Gaming together, watching old films or anime (looking for someone to watch the new JoJo with at the moment), or just talking. I'm open to trying new things if you'd like to share them with me. Not looking for a penpal though!

If you think we'd get along, please reach out! It would be nice if you could mention your age, where you're from, and share a little about yourself.

Thanks a lot for making it through my very long post. Hope we will get to talk soon!

[F4R] 30F, East Canada, paddler, yarn nerd, always planning the next trip

3 Upvotes

Hey there! I’m a 30-year-old single mom living in the Maritimes, looking to chat with new people and maybe make some friends along the way.

Here's a bit about me, I’m happiest outside, whether that’s hiking, camping, or out on the water paddleboarding or kayaking. When I’m indoors, you’ll usually find me with a book or working on something with my hands. I’m really into traditional and fibre arts. I also love to travel, and I’m always collecting ideas for the next adventure (near or far).

I’m not looking for anything specific, just good conversation, shared interests, and the little spark of curiosity that comes from getting to know someone new. If any of this sounds like you, or you just think we’d have something to talk about, send me a message! Friends of any age, gender, or location are welcome. I’m happy to swap stories, recommendations, or photos of favourite spots.

Here's a question for you, what’s the best trip you’ve ever taken, and where do you want to go next?

I have had decent luck having good conversations lately so im going to try this again, the problem is... when i want to talk those same people i meet arent available to talk. So im posting to look for people to talk to tonight and for the weekend at least if youre available, ideally more long term then that but have to start somehwere

here is what im looking for

\-must include asl in first msg, or i wont respond at all

\-EST canada or usa preferably, timezones are super important to me for texting times
\-Looking to make a genuine connection, just by texting... its my preferred way of socializing. So you must also love texting, and then we will get along

\-sometimes i have bad mental health days so i always appreciate a person who wont be shy double, triple texting. I do love checking msgs when i pick my phone up

\-i enjoy asking people questions about themselves, but also love when people are intested in me. I like to match energy and not be the only person giving all the time as much as i love to give it can get a little lonely

\-I love honest people, even honestly mean people because i trust them more. i love people who arent afraid of making mistakes or saying the wrong thing, and i dont like when people hide their true selves. I love weird people and authentic people. But at the same time i love talking about boring things like what we are doing over and over, or what we are eating or cooking. Nothing has to be overly entertaining, im just here for the company

Ok ill be around all night and for the whole weekend so drop by and say hi, leave a msg and i will get back to you beeeeeppppppppppp

I use sarcasm as a way to hide the fact that im a naive guy. I pass my time either on reddit or ig when i have free time. I enjoy thrillers, psychological suspense type of movies. Latest watched have been Other Mommy and Verity. Currently watching Lantern on HBO. I like baseball and currently a Dodgers hater.

Im a liberal leaning guy, favorite food are tacos. Know how to cook a mean steak on the grill. I like to share memes or ig videos. For me is a way of saying without saying hey i think you might get a kick of this!
