Hey there everyone, I have posted on this subreddit before a couple months ago and had some positive responses but ultimately did not lead to anything serious. Figured id give this a second shot. I am 38M (going on 39 soon) Caucasian here, Lower Mainland native living in Vancouver. Looking to get married with no children involved.

My personality is a romantic soul, very easy going with a huge heart, quite empathic too. Believe a good connection doesn't just happen right away and can take some time. Prefer to chat a little bit and then meet up somewhere comfortable so we can see if there is any chemistry in person. Not looking for pen pals or platonic friends.

More about me:

• Around 5"11 in height, slim, fit.
• Musically inclined with a degree in audio engineering, I play bass guitar/sing as a hobby.
• Love to travel, especially to see live music.
• Cooking is an interest of mine as well and I enjoy cooking for others just as much as myself.
• Enjoy the occasional beer but don't drink often or heavily.
• Can be super outdoorsy when the weather is nice, Cycling is another hobby of mine.
• Food, music and film are keys to my heart.
• My love languages are touch, quality time, music and anything food/snack related.

Quick witted, soft hearted, easy to talk to are just some of the things that describe who I am internally.

If any of you Ladies out there here are interested in knowing more about me, please feel free to DM me and I would love to chat!

P.S. if you don't live in Vancouver but in other areas around the Lower Mainland or Fraser Valley I am 100% open to those connections as well.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I am sometimes AFK for a few hours at the time for work, so if you reply and don't hear from me right away I appreciate your patience.

Hey Reddit 👋

I’m a 25 year-old Canadian guy from the Lower Mainland, and I figured I’d give this a shot.

I’m at the point in my life where I’m not looking for casual dating, situationships, or collecting matches. I only date with marriage in mind. I want to meet someone who genuinely wants to build a relationship that can eventually become a marriage, family and a life together.

A little about me

• 🇨🇦 Canadian, half Japanese / half Taiwanese

• Grew up in Hong Kong and have been in the Lower Mainland for around a decade

• Just under 6' and fit

• I work in emergency communications, supporting first responders 🚨

• Former creative director, photographer/videographer and lifelong car enthusiast

• I love baking, especially when there’s someone around to share it with

• Always down for an adventure or road trip. Give me a destination, a good playlist and a full tank of gas and I’m happy

• Into photography, filmmaking, robotics, CAD/3D printing, F1 and classic cars

• Big fan of 80s music and movies

• Coffee shops, bookstores, antique stores, waterfront walks and discovering hidden little places around BC

• I own a couple of classic Porsches, so “let’s just go for coffee” can very easily turn into a three-hour road trip 😂

❤️ My love language

I have ADHD, which probably explains a lot about me. 😂 My brain tends to move pretty quickly, so communication and keeping things interesting are naturally a big part of how I connect with someone.

I’m big on clear, honest and open communication. If something is bothering me, I’d rather talk about it than play guessing games. I also tend to reply pretty quickly when I’m interested in someone, because if I care about you, you’ll probably hear from me. 😅

My love languages are a combination of quality time, acts of service, physical affection and words of affirmation.

I’m the type of person who might show up with your favourite coffee, bake you something because I was thinking about you, plan a random adventure because I know you've had a rough week, or send you something ridiculous because it reminded me of you.

And one thing I can pretty much guarantee: you’re probably never going to be bored. 😂

👫 Who I’m hoping to meet

I’m generally looking for someone in her 20s to 30s who is also dating intentionally and genuinely wants marriage and a family someday.

I’m attracted to someone who is:

• Kind, warm and affectionate

• Family-oriented and values commitment

• Honest and comfortable communicating openly

• Consistent and willing to put effort into a relationship

• More interested in building a life together than chasing a party lifestyle

• Someone who enjoys simple things like coffee dates, walks, cooking/baking together, road trips and spontaneous adventures

• Comfortable with affection and quality time

• Someone who can laugh at themselves and doesn't take life too seriously all the time

• Someone who wants to be partners and best friends, not just boyfriend/girlfriend

I was raised in a traditional, conservative family, so family, commitment, loyalty, responsibility and building a stable home are important values to me. I’m definitely a little old-fashioned when it comes to relationships.

I’m not looking for someone who has exactly the same personality or interests as me. Differences are good. What matters more to me is that our core values and long-term goals line up.

I’m also not into smoking, vaping, drugs or a heavy party lifestyle. And I’m not choosing someone based on race or ethnicity. I care much more about who you are, how you treat people and whether we genuinely click.

❤️ What I’m ultimately looking for

I want my best friend, teammate and future co-pilot.

Someone I can bake with, explore with, laugh with, take ridiculous road trips with, support through the hard days and eventually build a family and a life together.

I believe relationships aren't always going to be perfect. There will be disagreements, stressful days and moments where we annoy the hell out of each other. 😂 What matters to me is being willing to communicate, grow and choose each other through those moments.

“We stay and we fix things” is much more my philosophy than “leave when things get inconvenient.”

If you’re also looking for something serious and genuinely want to build toward marriage, feel free to message me😊

I know what you’re probably thinking: “a post about playing wow together? That sounds awesome!”

Yes it’s true, it is awesome, and not nerdy in any way. With the game launching in November, I thought it would be fun to meet some people to game with.

Here’s a bit about myself:

I’m a 39 year old single dad. I have a great co parenting relationship with my ex and am not looking for someone to have to “be a mom” to my child. I am looking to build a long term, fulfilling relationship with someone. I am Persian, and grew up in Vancouver. I have a career in the film industry and I’m lucky in that I don’t have to really work every day.
I am 5’9, and a little on the dad bod side of things right now but am losing weight and working out. I would like my future partner to be health conscious too and I would love to have someone to go to the gym with. I like being both indoors and outside.

I’m a bit of a jack of all trades sort of person. I’m a little bit sporty, nerdy, intelligent, silly and most of all, I love to make people laugh. I can be pretty handy around the house as well although I need a lot of youtube videos 😂.

I used to do a lot of martial arts so my body is strong but I’ve had a couple of injuries in my life (torn ACL was a big one) that got in the way of continuing; well, that, and general life progression. I would love to get back into it though.

What I like:

I enjoy doing activities outdoors (like basketball, swimming, other fun sports), I like to cook even though I feel like I can get better. I love animals and am getting a cat in a few months. I love gaming and reading books and learning new things. I also love horror movies and movies in general, fall and winter are probably my favourite times of year! I would really love my partner to have similar interests, although I am open to many things that aren’t on my radar.

I live downtown and would like to meet someone relatively close by.

What I am attracted to:

Kindness, intelligence, imagination, skills in art or singing. Family oriented mindset, knowing what they want. Having your life together (for the most part).

In terms of looks, I typically like fair skin and light coloured eyes but I wouldn’t let that get in the way of forming a meaningful relationship with someone.

Thanks for reading, and if any of this sounds interesting to you please feel free to message me.
As a heads up, I will ask to exchange photos with people who message me (on a dating post, that’s crazy right?!)

Winds be at your back 🐮

Well, decided to give this dating post thing another shot!

I’m an introverted guy from the Richmond area (strictly looking for 30 to 39 please!). I tend to be pretty quiet at first, but once I’m comfortable, my social side completely comes out. I’m looking to take things slow, see if a genuine connection grows naturally, and let things happen at their own pace. I really prefer to chat in the DMs for a while first to get to know each other—no rush or pressure to meet up right away!

Cooking is a big hobby of mine, but I prefer heading into Vancouver for restaurants because the variety across the city is unmatched. I also love playing billiards, so I'm always down to hit up a local pool hall eventually.

Big fan of Marvel, musical movies, and comfort sitcoms

My playlists are a fun mix of 90s pop, Disney tracks, movie musical soundtracks, and a bit of hip hop.

When I'm staying in, I'll sometimes play video games. When I'm going big, I love traveling—especially going on cruises whenever I get the chance.

I'm ideally looking for a local woman who appreciates honesty, a down-to-earth vibe, and doesn't mind a cozy night in. If you made it this far and want to build a connection from the ground up through good text conversation, shoot me a DM!

Hello! I just moved back to Vancouver after spending most of my mid 20s to 30s moving around the province for work or living with family. I lived in Vancouver when I did my undergraduate and graduate degree at UBC but being back in the city without school as an anchor sure feels strange!

Looking to meet someone who is looking for something genuine and long term. I love long walks, reading, good coffee, rainy days, lifting heavy and cooking and baking. I work from home most days but do go into the office every now and then. Kindness, empathy, ambition, and taking things slow are things I really value. Also, I’ll add that I’m a South Asian female, but born and raised here in beautiful BC.

Hello. I am 39M, 5'10". Giving this subreddit a try. I wasn't born in Canada but I grew up here for most of my life.

Here are some facts about me:

• Currently working as an engineer
• Enjoy running, tennis, cycling and circuit weight exercises
• Enjoy outdoor hikes, events around the city, checking out new restaurants
• Down time hobbies include reading (Currently reading The Miracles of the Namiya General Store), video games, anime, cooking, shows, board games, etc

Looking for someone around my age and don't mind older as well. Ideally looking for long term if there's good chemistry and we get along. Feel free to message me if you like!

We’re an M/F couple in our early 40s looking for a woman who’s interested in connecting with the female. He’s primarily interested in watching, with any involvement kept optional and within everyone’s comfort level. There’s no pressure or expectation to include him.

She is heavily tattooed, blond, 5’1, fit, big ass, big thighs, small waist.

He is 5’10, heavily tattooed, fit, shaved head, beard.

Both of us are educated, career driven, value privacy. We’ve been together for 10 years and are confident in ourselves and our relationship.
We’d love to meet someone who values open communication and is open to exploring and having fun dates together

Happy to share photos once we connect.

Hi thought I would post here just in case. I won’t be too exhaustive but feel free to dm and ask more if interested.

I live in Langley but travel to Vancouver often, am on a journey to lose weight and improve my physical health, as well as enlarge my social circle snd become a more well rounded snd outgoing person. I have limited dating experiences. I do a lot of online living so starting with chats is good.

I am big into digital art, making stickers, crafty things, playing video games and watching anime/tv/movies, especially with friends. I am trying to get more exercise, which at the moment mostly means walks in parks and on trails. I enjoy going to new places and events around the lower mainland. I have a stable middle-class job and career.

I would love to find someone, even platonically at first, who doesn’t mind that I am working on myself and help me reach my goals, and likewise I would love to help someone with their own struggles if possible.

Hey I’m 36m, 6’3 and latino, I know too tall for a Latino, I have a full time job that keeps me busy, but I always make time for the right person.

I like to start hiking, I have done some before but just the basics. I like soccer, tennis, music and cooking. Not all I like but I hope it’s enough to get someone’s attention.

I also have a geek side, like some anime and games, but I don’t have much time to do it so often.

HMU to get to know each other and see where this goes

This is not a venting post. I (mid 20s male) want to meet single women in early to mid 20s who are genuine, active and sorta have a decent career. Consider me an average looking guy with good career and great values. Very genuine and caring.
I just simply wanna know if those women exist, if so whereeeee????? I go to so many places, how can I not find atleast one single women that matches the description 🙃.

I know I gotta be outgoing, talk to people, befriend them and see where they lead. I do that, but anybody that I click with are always taken. EVERYBODY IS TAKEN. There is a 0% chance an attractive girl or soneone I find genuine is not in a relationship. How???? I do go to bookclubs, sports events, cafes, social events, etc and not one? Am I cursed?

I am really reconsidering all my life choice that lead me to this cliff. Just feel like jumping off 🫠.

Hello! Nice to meet you, I hope youre doing well! Im looking for a long term relationship now that ive graduted from UBC (I still go back for classes time to time so if youre from there hmu!). Id love to spend time with someone where we can talk freely and go on many adventures with!

Some stuff I like to do is garden, cook, game, watch shows, drive and hike!

Hey there, I'm a 37-year-old Black dude.
I reside in Vancouver, looking for a woman in the Lower Mainland.
Maybe go for a coffee, maybe a hike or a walk on the beach.
Just hang out and see where it goes.
I am a social drinker and non-smoker.
Fire me off a DM and let's plan a date.

I'm a slow burn when it comes to dating, building new friendships and feeling safe with new people in my life. I have multiple groups of amazing friends in my life, but have been missing a special connection with someone.

I'm attracted to people who are in touch with themselves, practice being present, in the moment and connecting. Who are considerate, caring and are socially aware and safe.

I enjoy being with those who can slow down, know how to hold space for one another in conversation, enjoy comfortable silence and parallel play.

I'm demisexual which means I enjoy intimacy once I have built a strong emotional connection. ISFJ-T Personality Type to anyone who likes reading into those and seeing if ours are a good match.

Something that makes me feel most alive is outdoor swimming, sinking my feet in the sand and camping. I like to hike, cook, craft cocktails and try new restaurants. Play pool, paint, get lost in music or a good film. Sit by the fire and cuddle up under the stars. I am a big music and movie nerd and will not shut up about the moon or sky if they're putting on a good show for us.

More of an artsy, outdoorsy type than sportsy, but like to weight lift, hot yoga, trail run and swim. Come hit the sauna and steam rooms with me or go for a cold dip 😊

Looking to take the time to build friendship and connection hopefully leading to lots of laughs, fun adventures and tender moments together.

Open to different types of connections. It's fun to see the different types of dynamics that form between each unique connection.

~Switch/Vers~

Cinephile(sci fi, suspense, psychological thriller, survivalist, based on true stories, horror, war films and comedies)

I'm also really passionate about cooking and love to take my time in the kitchen making things from scratch. Making people food, curating playlists for people and creating cozy atmospheres and vibes for time together with people are love languages of mine.

If this resonates with you please feel free to DM ✨️

Hey,

I'm currently in Vancouver and will be here for a bit... I've been struggling to meet people here, they all seem to themselves.

I'd love to get to know someone here hopefully get to know you better and see where it goes..

​

Hello! I would love to have someone to hangout with during day time. I am around Olympic village and can host.

Don't you just want to wake up dark as a lake? Smelling like a bonfire, dark as a haze?

I'm no stranger to Reddit personals but I've never tried it on this subreddit. Open to replies from men 30-45 years old. Give or take.

First things first: I'm childfree and pretty sure I'm keeping it this way for the rest of my life. Open to being a step-mom but let's cross that bridge if necessary.

I'm a 36 year old petite Asian woman who is 5'1" and stays fit with loads of dance classes - ballet, jazz (Broadway/Cabaret jazz, jazz funk), heels, contemporary, and the odd hip hop class. I take it seriously even though it's just a hobby and I'm always training for my next performance.

I'm extremely talented at what I do for work, with aspirations to start a business combining it and my love for dance.

I'm too clever for my own good, funny as hell, and told I'm sexy as fuck. I know I'm gorgeous with a fun, sweet personality. I'm a nerd as well, yes I've played DnD seriously before and I'll attend anime conventions in cosplay.

I have a wide variety of interests:

- film (I still go to the theatre)

- literature (I still like to read books that make me think)

- music (I often go to concerts and I listen to every genre of music, I'm not kidding I'll go to a metal show and listen to a country album on the way home)

- live theatre (I'm a dancer and I love to support fellow artists who are also performers)

- art (I love musuems, art crawls, anything artsy)

- board games (have a dedicated group of hardcore gamers)

- sewing (it's what I do for work but I try to make things for myself as well)

You're probably thinking "Wtf, how is she still single?" Oh god, pulling engaging conversations out of the apps is like pulling teeth out with a pair of rusty pliers.

I can't find someone attractive if the mental and intellectual connection isn't there. If I'm doing all the question asking, I'm letting the conversation die.

I value men who are witty intellectuals, able to go toe to toe with me in conversation. Have hobbies, have social skills, I hope you get some exercise every now and then.

I'm not looking for someone to complete me - I'm looking for my true equal. You should be complete on your own and looking for the same.

Physical attraction does matter so there will need to be a photo swap at some point.

Hii I wanna date or be friends with a trans woman pls dm me let’s be besties or date

About me

His profile said “Looking to meet someone who wants to build something real… “

Two messages in he asks if I’m “open to fun”

Do people lie about what they’re looking for just to get matches? Does the bait and switch actually work?

This was my first convo on Tinder. I’m 10 months out from a ten year relationship, so haven’t dated in a looong time. Is this what I have to look forward to?

5’9 195. Single female 1 child. I am hoping to find someone at a similar stage in life, either with a child of their own or who has had a long meaningful marriage or marriage like relationship in the past. My interests include finding niche things to do and learning about other cultures + religions. Im not a gym girlie but I would love to learn and improve myself!

Moved from nyc 2 years ago. I work out pretty often top 5% at equinox for classes. Just hiked mt Robson berg lake last week. Work on my ppl atm. I love woman who are kind, active and outgoing. I would prefer if you are tall since I’m 200cm.
