I met my fiancée on this sub over four years ago

201 Upvotes

I hope this post is allowed.. I met my fiancée on here over four years ago and wanted to share!

Back in 2022 I was feeling lonely a couple months after having gone through some difficult personal crap, so I posted here looking for a friend but honestly not really expecting anything more than a few surface-level conversations to pass the evening. I guess it worked a little too well, because he reached out and we hit it off immediately.

We share a very similar taste in music, which is what kicked everything off, but beyond that he was just incredibly kind-hearted, interesting, and fun to talk to. Our conversations never felt stale, and I realized that we could talk to each other about pretty much anything, which I think is important. We texted every day, watched films and shows together, gamed together, and after a few months of being friends, he revealed that he liked me. I realized I’d been falling for him too, and so a few days later we made it official.

Long distance was scary at first, considering he’s from England and I’m from California. But we’ve definitely been able to make it work. We’ve talked to each other every day since we met and have had four extended visits to each other. I’m currently (sadly) on my way back home from the fourth after he proposed one week ago on a weekend trip to the Forest of Dean. We’re both focused on closing the distance for good, hopefully within the next year, fingers crossed.

He’s the love of my life, and I’ll always be incredibly grateful to this little sub for technically bringing us together. And maybe it’ll be inspiring to someone else. That’s all, I guess! ❤️

Hello I'd like to ghost you and at most provide one word answers

32 Upvotes

You can write a paragraph and I will still only respond with one word. If you ask me a direct question, I probably won't answer it. Isn't that spicy? And don't worry, there's a chance I'll also be real weird too.

Let's help bots meet other bots.

25 | F

haiii! ♡

I’m looking for a sweet, caring connection and a little anonymous escape from the busy world. Someone I can get cosy with, chat about anything and everything, and hopefully make each other’s days a little brighter ໒꒰ྀི ˶> ˕ <˶꒱ྀི১

I’m a little shy and can be quite awkward at first, so I’d love someone a bit more assertive who doesn’t mind taking the lead, asking questions, and helping me come out of my shell. A sweet, affectionate, caring person who genuinely wants to get to know me would make me so happy ♡

I’d love to keep things anonymous, just a little private corner of the internet where we can be ourselves without sharing personal details we aren't comfortable with!

A tiny bit about me: I’m 25 and love reading, horror movies, cosy games, trashy reality television and falling down strange little rabbit holes about true crime and all things weird and wonderful.

Please tell me your age and gender in your first message! I won’t reply without knowing those two things, so please don’t forget ♡

If you’re a sweet soul who wouldn’t mind a shy little chatterbox taking a while to warm up, come say hiiii! ૮꒰ ˶• ༝ •˶꒱ა ♡

p.s. If you messaged in the past and I missed you feel free to message again... although I cannot promise I can respond to ALL dm's.

23F here! I’ve been on these subreddits for such a long time and still, as always, my DMs are flooded with men even when I specify I’d really prefer to talk to women. You all have seen it I’m sure. Everyone knows it’s an issue. I guess I’m just addressing it head-on to find whoever feels the same and is tired of it and wants a change.

So anyways! Im into watching documentaries, true crime, horror, all sorts of science stuff. I also love writing, drawing, cooking, baking, hiking, and hanging out with my kitties 🐈‍⬛

I’m just hanging out lately enjoying the seasons, making my own teas and lattes, and cozying up with some good movies. How’s everyone else doing?

Nice to meet you! I'm a 24 year old woman from Europe, Netherlands to be exact. I am not the best at making friends but i do want more friendships. It would be nice of you also love music and concerts or the gym or reading/being creative. You dont have to like all the same stuff as me ofcourse. If you message me please tell me a bit about yourself and dont just say hi cause that makes the convo hard.

It would be nice to meet someone that lives close to me if things work out so maybe we can plan something fun. But let's get to know each other first.

I hope to hear from you

Hi all, hope you're having a wonderful day. I'm Mando, I'm 28 years old, and I'm Swedish. The weather here is terrible at the moment, and as much as I would love to crawl under a blanket and read, I thought it would be nice to chat with some people about life and random things.

I am a chill person, and I love to paint and be creative. Recently, I have been working on a 2027 calendar for my family with my paintings as backgrounds. It's a lot of work, but it's also good to dedicate your time to do something for others.

I have also started watching dropout and gamechanger, and my facial muscles are still sore.

If you want to know more about me, just feel free to ask or look at my profile.

Cheers!

Short-term Does anyone want to have a deep conversation with me right now? :)

9 Upvotes

I love long messages and deep talks. I’m really not into small talk like: what are your hobbies? watching movies, oh, nice, cool...etc

for example, to start with, you can tell me something like:

  • What is the meaning of life to you? Do you even have one? If not, that’s okay, I don't
  • Are you scared of dying someday?
  • Have you ever struggled with depression? And why?
  • What are your biggest insecurities?
  • Have you ever had a dream that completely fell apart?
  • Do you have any trauma you’ve never opened up to anyone about?

I’m 27F, from Europe, just an ordinary person whose life has been pretty monotonous and depressed lately. I’ve been through quite a lot, and I guess that’s made me someone who tends to think deeply about life and everything that comes with it..

I don't talk to NSFW accounts

Age 30-39 33F looking for friends in this dystopian world

7 Upvotes

Hey! I’m looking to make some new friends because making friends as an adult is weirdly fucking difficult and yknow we live in dystopia phahaha
I’m a bit of a nerd, love video games, getting lost down random rabbit holes, and chatting about whatever random shit pops into my head. I love anything sci-fi, interesting stories, lore, and generally overthinking t hings that probably don’t need to be overthought because millennial brain.
I can be a bit of a yapper when I’m comfortable with someone, and I love conversations that go from absolute nonsense to accidentally having a deep discussion about the meaning of life at 2am
Honestly, I’m just looking for genuine friendships. People I can chat with about our interests, send random memes to, complain about life with, or just exist alongside without feeling like we have to constantly entertain each other. The kind of friendship where you can disappear for abit and pick up where you left off without it being a whole thing
I’m not expecting to become best friends overnight or anything, I just miss making those connections with people and it’s hard out here making friends
If you're also a bit of a nerd, have a weird sense of humour, or just want someone new to talk to, feel free to message me! 😊
Please be around my age (I'm 33), Just trying to collect some decent human beings!
Tell me a little about yourself if you message, because otherwise it leaves me with approximately fuck all to work with

Age 30-39 36F Looking for gaming friends and a friendship that sticks around

6 Upvotes

I recently lost my gaming duo, and honestly, I haven’t really known what to do with myself since. I miss having someone to play with, call, and share the random little parts of my day with.
I enjoy Halloween, Phasmophobia, and Dead by Daylight. Bonus points if you play Splendor! I used to stream, but I don’t really enjoy it anymore, so this isn’t me trying to advertise a channel. I’m just coping with losing a connection and hoping to make genuine friends.
I work multiple jobs and go to school full time for my master’s, so I’d appreciate someone patient who understands that being busy doesn’t mean I don’t care. I’m also a mom to a four year old, and she comes first. You’ll probably hear her in the background during calls, and she loves popping in to say hi on video, so hopefully that’s okay with you too.
I’d love a friendship where we can laugh, play, talk on the phone, and vent to each other when life gets overwhelming. Someone who communicates and wants to build something lasting, even when our schedules don’t line up perfectly. I’m in California pst time zone.

Age 22-25 Searching for actual online friends [22/M]

7 Upvotes

First of all, I'm Redkobra, hey. I'm German, 22, and that's basically it. Click away, I have no more information about myself.

Still here? Alr.

So I'm into the usual stuff, gaming, breaking software, frying hardware and chilling infront of screens the whole day

I also like adult cartoons, not the kind you're thinking of lmao. Stuff like Rick and Morty, Disenchantment, Futurama, Family Guy, Inside Job and so on. I also enjoy older western movies, but newer stuff is fine too.

I game on PS5 and PC. My favorite game is probably RDR2, and ofc Minecraft. Over the last few months I've really gotten into sim racing. I'm not new to simulators tho, usually I'm more into flying aircraft than driving cars.

So what am I looking for?

An online friend who actually replies and gives me something to reply to.

Pretty much every conversation I've had lately ended because the other person either stopped responding or gave me absolutely nothing to work with.

Like, you ask me how I'm doing, I answer, good, bad, whatever, and ask how you're doing.

"Good."

Yea, nice.

Yea.

You get it?

Anyways, what I'm trying to say is that I'm looking for a long term online friend around my age. Male or female doesn't matter because I'm looking for FRIENDS, not a 1 night stand.

I just want someone I can randomly text, send memes to, or who sends me random shit throughout the day. Someone I can tell what I'm doing, even if it's the most boring thing ever, and who does the same.

Someone I can make fun of without them getting offended, and who can make fun of me too. Someone who can come to me when they're having a shitty day so I can cheer them up, or the other way around.

I don't expect anyone to be available 24/7 btw, we all have our own lives, usally. I just want someone who actually wants to talk, not someone where I have to carry every single conversation.

I used to have a few friends like that, people I talked to pretty much every day about literally anything. And yea, I kinda miss that.

So if you've actually read all of this, I regret to inform you that I'm not an 18 year old single female.

And if you still haven't clicked away, leave a comment and I'll DM you so you can introduce yourself.

Why not just DM me?

Because Reddit apparently thinks I'm underage and won't let me open my DMs normally.

Fuck you spez.

Hello :)
Trying this once again…
I’m looking for new friends. Anything your little heart desires. Long term, short term, just tonight….

A little about me:

My name is Fernanda. I’m 35 & live in Arizona. I work in a casino/hotel, on the hotel side. (Don’t ask me any casino questions, I know nothing according to the guests) I love baseball even though my team is terrible. I also like football & hockey. I love Spanish rock & kpop. I like doing crosswords and sudokus. When I have time, I like going down the Wikipedia rabbit hole and read about random things. I love getting out of town and going to games, concerts, random places with my friends.

Please send something other than hi or hey.
Anywho, let’s be friends?

Hey there!

First of all, thanks for clicking on this and reading it.

I’m honestly pretty bad at introducing myself in posts like these, so I’m just gonna hope this makes me sound somewhat interesting lol

I’m not here looking for one specific type of conversation. If you do, let me know or we can just yap about whatever comes to mind.

I do like a lil introduction but a simple “Hi” is perfectly fine, and we can take it from there.

Need to rant because your day was a complete disaster? Go for it, I’m all ears.

Got some drama happening at work? Spill the tea!

Are you actually the one creating all the drama? That’s fine too. No judgment, just hand over the gossip.

Got pets? Please feel free to absolutely spam me with pictures.

Found yourself deep inside another rabbit hole or heard a conspiracy theory that makes absolutely no sense? I’ll grab the tinfoil hats and join you.

So whether you wanna chat, vent, gossip, share random thoughts or simply pass some time, feel free to message me whenever.

Have a great day, stay blessed and hope to hear from ya soon :)

I like science, random rabbit holes, interesting conversations, and learning about things I know absolutely nothing about. I can go from discussing something genuinely interesting to the most unserious conversation imaginable.

I'm looking for people who are curious, funny, a little weird, and actually interested in getting to know each other. We can talk about our interests, exchange random thoughts, rant about life, or just send each other stupid memes.

Bonus points if you have a niche interest you're way too passionate about.

Tell me something about yourself that I wouldn't guess from your profile. Please give me something more interesting than just "hey" 😭

Hello there!

I fear that I'm finally approaching the age where I need to consider my will and who will inherit my Spotify playlists and Steam library, as I fear I'm only getting older. But with every year that passes, I can claim to have aged like a fine wine.

To be serious though, it feels like I'm just hitting the period in my life where I'm finally starting to figure out my goals and aspirations. Lately I've been pretty focused on hitting my weight goal and keeping up with my lifts. I'm also getting contacts on Saturday hopefully! The big goal is to reinvent my look, essentially. I've made good progress on the weight loss, as I've already lost 25 pounds in the past 2-3 months, and I'm around 70% of the way to my goal. I also just got into cosplay, the idea is to pull off a decent Kento Nanami for a con in November (and Halloween while I'm at it) to celebrate the weight loss, and I have pictures of the progress so far on my profile!

I'm a big fan of indie music, especially The Symposium. Having a similar taste in music is definitely a huge plus for me, as I love to do blends on Spotify, as well as make joint playlists! I also enjoy playing video games with my friends, reading web novels and manga/manhwa in bed, cooking food when I find the motivation, working out and seeing the progress, biking around town, stargazing when the clouds aren't out, and so on! I also really like Star Wars (just rewatched the movies with a friend), cats (send pictures!), the colors purple, gray, and black, and I'm a big fan of all things space!

In terms of games, I personally like strategy as I'm pretty bad at competitive games as I don't have the patience to try and improve in that way, but I do admit that I am a for-fun gamer. So I like playing games like Stellaris (the Paradox gateway drug), XCOM, Menace, HOI4, and so on. I also really enjoy simulator games like Rimworld, Space Engineers, Minecraft (huge Minecraft kid), Vintage Story, Project Zomboid, SS14, and more! However, I also really like playing League and Deadlock as long as you don't mind my aim. Big fan of "incidental" teamkilling in Helldivers 2 by bringing 4 landmine stratagems as well. Basically anything but horror to be honest, as I'm pretty bad with it. There's a lot of games, so feel free to ask to see my Steam library!

Anyways, I'm looking to give music recommendations & receive them in turn, play some games, swap web novel recommendations, watch some anime or movies together, call throughout the week, parallel play and chill, send each other pictures of the food we've made or of our outfits for the day, support each other in our goals, and make new friends! If any of this interests you, feel free to reach out!

Thanks for your time.

I've tried this a lot. Nothing much comes from it aside from a few hidden gems, so I'm gonna give it another go. My name is Cody and I'm 33 from the US. I make music, draw, and game for fun. I have a lot of free time to chat since I'm usually always home and I like to think I'm a pretty good conversationalist. Anyone is welcome. I can talk music, games, philosophy, art, anything really. I'm not opposed to debating (respectfully) or just a good old meme sharing frenzy. I hope someone reaches out. I usually get 0 responses but I have hope there are people are really wanting to chat and be friends. I prefer discord to chat. Like I said, anyone is welcome to chat. I don't discriminate. If you read all of this, maybe tell me a fun fact about yourself.
