Reddit DM & email 32F UK - looking for a stranger who might eventually not feel like one.

4 Upvotes

32F from Newcastle, UK. I’ve spent most of the past year travelling around Asia, which has been incredible, but since coming home I’ve realised how much I miss meeting new people and having conversations with people who are curious about the world.

I’m not really looking for dozens of people to message. I’d much rather find one or two people I genuinely click with and slowly get to know over time.
I like the kind of friendship where you can talk about the completely ordinary things happening in your life, but also message someone out of nowhere with, “I’ve been thinking about something weird all day and I need to tell somebody.”

I love conversations that wander. Travel, relationships, memories, things we miss, places we want to see, fears, stupid observations, childhood stories, people who changed us, things we’re still figuring out, and all the random little thoughts that don’t normally have anywhere to go.

Having spent so much time travelling recently, I’ve become even more interested in how differently people live and see the world. I really enjoy hearing about someone else’s life, especially when it looks nothing like mine. We definitely don’t need to have identical hobbies or opinions. Curiosity, humour and openness matter much more to me.

I also don’t expect every conversation to turn into some deep philosophical discussion. I’m equally happy hearing about the ridiculous thing that happened to you in Tesco or getting a photo of something you saw on your walk. I think those little everyday details are often how you actually get to know someone.

I’d prefer to start with Reddit messages or email and see whether we naturally get along. Eventually, if we become comfortable with each other, I’d love to exchange actual handwritten letters too. I’m slightly sentimental about things like that, and there’s something lovely about receiving something that has physically travelled from somebody else’s little corner of the world into yours.

Age and location aren’t hugely important to me, although it would be nice to hear from people somewhere around my stage of life. UK or halfway across the world is fine.

Mostly, I’m just missing talking to like-minded people and that feeling of slowly discovering who somebody really is beyond the usual introductions and small talk.
So, if any of this sounds like your kind of friendship, send me a message and tell me something about yourself that you rarely get the opportunity to talk about.

Reddit DM 32/M, looking for friendship

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! As the title says, I'm a 32 year-old male from TX, US. About me, I don't know what to say but let me try. At least I can say a few things. I consider myself as an introvert. I enjoy spending my time on my own. I like gaming, listening to music, and reading. Yeah, sometimes I can be a couch potato as well. Other than this, I like walking outdoors. I work in healthcare and also get my next title. But I'm interested in other things including history, geography etc. I also try to get better at GeoGuessr. Do you play it? I also like thrifting. Anyway, I guess that's all for now. Even if I'm an introvert, I started feeling alone recently. I'm looking for some people to be friends with. I know since I'm a male, I won't get many messages but here we are. Don't hesitate to dm me if you'd like to chat. I'm open to anyone. I don't mind where you're from, what gender you're, or how old you're. Thanks for reading.

Reddit DM Let’s give this a shot (again)

1 Upvotes

30M from usa here, figured I’d give this another shot and see who’s out there. Haven’t had much luck on here really. They stay for a day or two then vanish.

I’ve got my life pretty together (steady job, gym 5x a week, can cook a decent meal when I feel like it), but realized making new friends as an adult is way harder than it should be. So here I am.

I’m big into gaming , anything from competitive stuff to just zoning out after a long day. (Been on a DBD and Fortnite kick lately) Outside of that, I’m usually at the gym, out hiking when the weather’s decent, or planning my next trip (even if it’s just a long weekend somewhere random). But my gaming library goes deep. Also been playing BG3, halo CE remake, and I need to try out once human. And can not wait for fable and GTA6

Big fan of the outdoors and sports and also a shoe collector. Travel quite a bit as well so maybe we have something in common

Huge horror movie fan so if it’s creepy, twisted, or makes you question your life choices, I’m probably into it. Also a fan of dark humor, so bonus points if you can laugh at things we probably shouldn’t.
Pretty laid back, easy to talk to, and I learn more by doing than just talking about it. Just looking for good people to chat with, maybe game with, or even meet up if you’re local.

And also I have a trust issue thing when it comes to this dang app. To many catfishes or fakes so bear with me !

If any of that sounds like your vibe, feel free to reach out . Maybe tell me your top 5 horror movies or video games. Or even some things we have in common

Male or female welcome!

Hello! I’m 28 and from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and I’m looking to meet new people and hopefully make some new friends!

A few things about me…I’m a HUGE horror fan, and I love all things dark/creepy/paranormal or unexplained

I’m pretty heavily tattooed (I’ve just had a new one done at the weekend, getting another this week and then have more booked over the next couple weeks/months) and I’m always looking for ideas and inspirations for what to get next, I love to see other people’s work and ideas too!

I love music and going to shows(mostly older rock/metal but I like a lot different stuff, most recently saw Metallica and Def Leppard live)

I love gaming, true crime, football, I love to visit historical sites/museums and enjoy travelling, urban exploring/exploring the outdoors and keeping fit, and I spend 99% of my free time with my dog 🐶

Happy to talk to anyone from anywhere, just send a message with a bit about yourself if you think we might get along 🙂
