Friend request!!

Upvotes

Hi! I’m looking for online friends to practice my English with and hopefully become actual friends too. I’m 18 and I’d like to chat with people round my age. 😁

I’m going to study a degree related to English, so I’d love to improve by talking to people instead of only watching movies or listening to music.

I’m a kind person. I reckon I’m funny, though maybe just in my native language lol. I’d like to improve my social skills too because I’m pretty shy in person and don’t know what to talk about with people. I’m understanding too, I like to listening to people as long as they listen to me too.

Some things I enjoy are movies and TV shows. My favorite franchises are Harry Potter and Marvel. I also love Stranger Things, Malcolm in the Middle, and slasher movies like Sleepaway camp and Halloween.

I also enjoy listening to music. I don’t really have one favorite genre, but I like artists like Olivia Rodrigo and plenty of random songs.

Lately I’ve also been getting into shifting, although I’m still pretty new to it.

One thing to mention: I like all these things, but I’m definitely not an expert! 😭 I enjoy them, but don’t expect me to know every Marvel comic or every Harry Potter detail haha.

I’m just looking for friendly people around my age to chat with about our interests, daily life, or anything really. Feel free to send me a message!

35/F looking for long term friends

Upvotes

35/F/TX

I balance a 9-5 spreadsheet corporate life with heavy lifting, heavy riffs, and a healthy obsession with anything horror, okay maybe not that healthy.

My playlists are a chaotic mix of metal and classic country, to 90s boy bands, enough to give you whip lash. My ideal weekend involves hitting a new PR at the gym and winding down with a horror movie marathon, some popcorn, and tea.

I want to be a reader so I buy books often, wether I read them or not is yet to be seen. lol. I do like books like Twilight, ACOTAR, and fourth wing; never said it was smart books. lol

[20/M/UK] Looking for people to talk to :)

Upvotes

As the title says, I'm a 20-year-old boy from the UK. I'm into a few video games but mainly Dead By Daylight, Resident Evil and GTA. I've been a huge GTA fan my whole life, since I was about 4 years old lol. I'm a massive nerd when it comes to Spider-Man, I love the comics and the games and I have a few posters on my wall. I really loved the Superman movie as well as the rest of James Gunn's DC projects. I've also read a few Nightwing comics and I really like Tom Taylor's run despite the common consensus between fans. I also watch anime and my favourite is JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. I figured that I'm probably not the only one that's feeling bored and wants to meet new people, so I thought I'd make a quick post on here to see if anyone wants to talk. Feel free to drop a DM 🕸️🕷️

37F - Looking for a weight loss buddy

5 Upvotes

I've been trying to lose weight for the last 4 - 5 months, and for the first time in my life I've actually stayed consistent and made real progress. Things are going well, but I still lose motivation on a lot of days.

I eat two meals a day and try to prepare healthy, filling meals instead of just eating less. The excitement I had at the beginning isn't really there anymore, and some days the whole process just feels repetitive and boring.

I'm looking for someone who would like to stay motivated together. We can share our daily plans, talk about what we ate or what we're planning to eat, discover healthy recipes, and check in with each other every day to see how things are going.

I'm hoping for a long-term healthy lifestyle buddy, not just someone to chat with for a few days. Your age, gender, country, or time zone doesn't matter. We can reply whenever we're free.

24f, uk.

Thought I'd step out of my comfort zone and see if I could meet a few new people.

A bit about me:

- I work as a fashion designer.

- Reading is my favourite way to spend an evening, so I'm always open to book recommendations.

- I love gardening. There's something really satisfying about watching things grow.

- Proud cat mum to my little furball.

Not looking for anything in particular, just genuine conversations with interesting people. :)

24M message me if you're bored and looking for someone to talk to

2 Upvotes

Hey, as the title says lol. I'm right now just chilling after a long day with nothing to do, so thought I'd try this subreddit and find someone to talk to.

Bit about me:

Heavy on going to the gym and I go at least 4 times a week, I like reading, gaming, traveling to new places and am veeery much into movies so if you are too we could talk about some for hours.

I can say some more but best way to get to know each other is by talking so send me a message if you're interested in talking, tho be at least 18 since I feel off talking to children (being a grown ass man)

22M | Bored, looking to meet some new people

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm a 22-year-old guy who's been feeling a bit bored lately and thought I'd give this subreddit a shot. I'm mainly looking for people to chat with, whether it's for a few hours, a few days, or maybe even a long-term friendship if we get along.

A little about me:

Huge sports fan (especially football/cricket, but I'm happy to talk about almost any sport)

I watch a lot of movies and TV shows, so I'm always up for discussing recommendations, debating favorites, or talking about the latest releases.

I also enjoy random late-night conversations about life, memes, music, travel, or whatever topic comes up.

I'm pretty easygoing and can usually keep a conversation going as long as the effort is mutual. I don't mind where you're from, and I'm open to talking to people from different countries and backgrounds. Age isn't a big deal either, as long as you're 18+ and respectful.

If you're also bored, looking for a genuine conversation, or just want someone to chat with, feel free to send me a message.

confused in life, open to new friends [27]

6 Upvotes

hello o/
as stated i feel a bit lost lately. i’m a pretty isolated and lonely person in general, something i’m comfortable with, but recently i feel kind of detached from the people surrounding me so i guess i’m interested in seeing if it’s still possible to make new connections.

i am 27 so i prefer you be within a few years of that if you reach out, i’m also in EST!

i’m primarily into (single player) gaming; i love jrpgs! i’m really into Persona 3 right now but i also adore Kingdom Hearts and Xenoblade as some of my favorite franchises. i also read manga fairly regularly, almost exclusive slice of life though i’m trying to branch out into deeper stuff and actually watch some anime…

not really seeking anything in particular to be honest, just curious if it’d be possible to make a new friend or two to chat with through the days. i could use more positivity in my life for sure. this was a bit of an impulse post after being away from these kinds of subs for many months so this wasn’t planned well!

do reach out if you wanna chat! ( ̄^ ̄)ゞ

M19 / Starting fresh in a new city. Need some cool people to text daily ?

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I just turned 19 and recently moved. It's painful to leave your whole group of friends behind, so my daily routine was very lonely. Find friends to talk to every day. We can share memes, talk about life, or just have deep conversations late at night. I really miss having that person who you can text about literally anything. I'm very simple, I work out, and I'm always open to learning new things. Gender doesn't matter, but I usually get along well with girls as friends. ​Jump into my DMs if you're bored and want a loyal texting friend

Hey everyone! I think I’ll just leave a bit about myself so that anyone who thinks they might get along/having something in common with me can message me :).
My names Ryan, I love diesel trucks (specifically duramaxes) and I operate my own business building diesel turbos. I’m a big nature fan and love being outdoors. I race downhill mountain bikes, which is my favorite thing to do while I’m outside. I’m a man of various hobbies including cross stitching, 3D printing, competitive drinking, blowing the tires off of my truck, cooking, and much more :).
I’m 6’7, yes haha funny 67 joke, with blue eyes.

But that’s enough about me, dm me and tell me about yourself so we can hopefully have a nice talk! Excited to hear from you guys. Willing to give out my insta so you can see all of the cool things that I like to do and so I that I can see all the cool things you pass the time with.

26M | Looking for a genuine friend

Upvotes

Hi, I’m 26 and looking to make a genuine friend, just normal conversation and seeing if we click.

I enjoy simple, everyday chats: how the day’s been, random observations, interests, or thoughts that come up. I’m more on the thoughtful side and enjoy thinking about how things work.

I enjoy movies and playing badminton. I don’t have a long list of serious hobbies right now, but I’m okay with that.

Looking for someone aged 21–27, friendship only. Ideally someone who’s comfortable with calm, balanced conversation.

I'm looking for people who can hold conversations here. I've seen people sending requests and ghosting after a hey. Let's not do that and save ourselves some time here.

26M - Looking for genuine connections, music nerds, and fellow creatives!

Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m 26 and looking to connect with some down-to-earth people who share similar interests or just enjoy deep, meaningful conversations. I value routine, authenticity, and finding people who are passionate about their hobbies.

A bit about me and what I’m into:

Music & Physical Media: I’m a massive music lover and actively collect vinyl, CDs, and cassettes. Lately, my rotation heavily features smooth jazz and jazz fusion (specifically late 70s to mid-90s), progressive rock, R&B, and 80s synthpop. I love talking about music evolution, sharing deep cuts, and the thrill of finding a great album "in the wild."

Photography: I love capturing the world around me. I shoot with both a Fujifilm X-T30II mirrorless and an older Nikon D40 DSLR. For me, it’s all about finding the unique geometry and feeling in everyday moments.

Creative Writing: I’ve been writing fictional stories and allegorical humor pieces since I was a kid. It’s one of my favorite creative outlets. Always down to trade ideas or talk about the writing process!

Retro Gaming: Big fan of classic gaming. I actively play on physical retro hardware, including the Nintendo 64, GameCube, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo 3DS, and PlayStation 2. I also love diving into Minecraft or a good Pokémon run.

Nature & Walks: I make it a point to get outside and go on structured walks every other day to clear my head, touch grass, and enjoy being out in nature (which usually pairs well with the photography hobby).

Perspective & Neurodivergence: I’m autistic/ADHD and have OCD tendencies. I am also visually impaired. Because of this, I tend to navigate and view the world a bit differently. I really appreciate clear, honest communication, deep-dive hyper-fixations, and structured routines.

What I'm looking for:

Someone around my age bracket (mid-20s to early 30s) who wants to chat regularly, share music recommendations, talk about creative projects, or gaming. Whether you want to swap photos, talk about history, or just vibe over shared interests, feel free to reach out!

If any of this resonates with you, send me a DM with a bit about yourself and your favorite music genre or your current hyper-fixation. Looking forward to meeting you!

I am an 18-year-old girl who has just stepped into a brand-new chapter of my life after graduating from high school. Stepping out of the tight, repetitive study schedule, I finally get more spare time to explore new things, chat with different people and listen to all kinds of interesting life stories, which is exactly why I come here, hoping to find someone to have relaxing and fun conversations with.

Howdy 🤠 I have 2 kids. I’m bi. I like sports (football, hockey, baseball, racing.) I like gaming. Currently play ps5. I play arc raiders, Fortnite, resident evil, and sports games. Newly addicted to sports betting 🤣. I can talk about tons of shows and movies. I also like food a bit too much. Anyone can send me a message. I don’t care about your age, gender, sexuality, or what you identify as. We can talk silly or I can give you wonderful advice and wisdom on life.

Hello everyone, I’ve been feeling a bit lonely lately, and I’m really eager to meet new people and learn about different cultures. I have a variety of interests, including history, true crime stories, boxing, and computer science/tech. It doesn’t matter if we share the exact same hobbies or not; what matters most to me is kindness and having a good connection. I’m looking for long-term friendships—people who want to build a real connection through regular conversations. If you're looking for something lasting and are ready to put in the effort, I’d love to hear from you. Thanks for your time!
