I noticed that there haven't been any success stories posted in this subreddit for quite a while, and even the flair for sharing success stories has been removed. So, I had no choice but to pin this flair lol.

Ok so. It's just to give you guys a bit of hope. Originally, we planned to post later haha.

Neither of us has ever been in relationship before, we are both like zero experience in this. We are each other's first love you can say. So don't worry and don't be rush buddies. The right person will appear at some point in the future

It was my first time posting here, and it was also his first time dm to someone here. There's no need to cast a wide net; quantity doesn't guarantee quality

I created a private memory place for us, um, I originally wanted to keep it private but, out of gratitude towards sub, I decided to share it with you guys, so that everyone can still have some hope in their hearts.

Hold on, be a good person, and you will definitely meet the right one for you!

Hi there :)

A lil somethin about me

I’m currently living on the east coast of the US, and my career gives me a good amount of flexibility So I’d be open to relocating if things ever got serious and it made sense.

Looking for a cuddle buddy with someone who feels like my best friend. I absolutely love animals especially dogs and cats. I grew up with all kinds of pets, so having them in my life is really important (I currently have two dogs).

I tend to rotate through hobbies like it’s my job (thanks, ADHD 🤯). Lately that’s included things like playing pc/console, baking and cooking. I love learning new things, so if you’re passionate about something, I’d genuinely love to hear about it and maybe even try it with you.

Physically, I’m 5'6", around 135 lbs, white, with brown hair, curvy petite, attractive and very hygienic. I’ve got a few piercings and wear glasses sometimes. My style kind of depends on the day I can be super casual or a bit more alternative, and other times more put together and business casual. I’m not a model type body, but I do try to be mindful of how I present myself. I’m just as comfortable in a band tee and black jeans as I am dressed up.

Hi! I'm Sora, 25 years old, from Germany.

I'm mainly looking to meet people from Europe because it's easier with time zones, but I'm also open to people from the US or Australia if we're both willing to put in the effort to make the distance work. I believe distance isn't the biggest challenge. Communication is.

I'm not looking to rush into anything. I'd much rather become friends first, get to know each other, and see where things naturally go. If we end up as close friends, that's already a win in my book.

Communication is probably the biggest thing for me.

Once I get comfortable with someone, I can become pretty clingy. To me, that just means I enjoy talking to the people I care about and sharing little moments throughout the day.

What doesn't work for me is one-sided communication where I'm always the one reaching out first. I completely understand that people get busy. I do too. But I always try to reply when I can, and if I know I'll be gone for a while, I'll let you know. I'd love someone who communicates the same way because mutual effort means a lot to me.

A little about me:

🎮 I'm a huge PC gamer. Right now I'm mostly playing Marvel Rivals, Fortnite, Overwatch, Infinity Nikki, MTG Arena, and Valorant. My game library is also full of games like Crusader Kings III, Civilization VI, Minecraft, Valheim, Dave the Diver, the Tomb Raider series, and many more.

One thing you should know:
I don't play League of Legends or World of Warcraft, and you're probably not going to convince me to start. 😅

🎵 Music is a huge part of my life. My favorite band is Ghost, and I'm completely obsessed with them. Outside of that, I listen to pretty much everything. Metal, pop, K-pop, 80s, 90s, early 2000s... if I like the song, I'll listen to it.

I also have a slight weakness for deep voices, British accents, French accents, and masked men. Simon "Ghost" Riley definitely isn't helping.

🖤 I'd describe myself as an alternative girl. My wardrobe is almost entirely black, and if I'm not wearing a hoodie, I'm probably wearing a Ghost band shirt. Summer is my biggest enemy because all my favorite clothes are way too warm. Yes, I know black isn't the smartest color when it's 30°C outside, but I'm committed.

⌨️ One of my more expensive hobbies is custom mechanical keyboards. I've already built one, and I'm seriously considering building another because apparently one is never enough.

🖋️ I also collect fountain pens. I currently own around 13 of them, and somehow my wishlist keeps getting longer.

📚 I enjoy reading, although I haven't done much of it lately because I have the terrible habit of wanting to do ten different hobbies at once and ending up doing none of them.

✍️ I'm trying to get back into journaling after falling out of the habit. If you journal too, maybe we can motivate each other.

🇫🇷 I'm currently learning French with Duolingo. I had French in school, so I have a basic foundation, but I'd love to become fluent someday.

📺 I also stream on Twitch from time to time. I'm incredibly inconsistent, but I genuinely enjoy it whenever I go live.

🍣 Sushi is probably my favorite food, even though I don't get to eat it nearly as often as I'd like.

A little more about me:

• 25 years old
• Around 5'4" (163 cm)
• Alternative girl
• Huge overthinker
• Love language: quality time

I also live with depression and social anxiety. Both have improved a lot over the years thanks to professional help, but they're still part of my life. I'm not looking for someone to fix me. I simply appreciate people who are kind, patient, and understanding.

What I'm looking for:

I'm bisexual, but I'm looking to date men.

I'm mainly looking for someone between the ages of 22 and 32. There's a little bit of wiggle room on either side if we really hit it off, but please don't message me if you're significantly outside that range.

I'd also really like to meet someone who enjoys gaming. It doesn't matter if we play all the same games, but I'd love for us to have that hobby in common. Gaming is one of my biggest hobbies, and I'd love to spend time with my future partner playing games together, trying out new ones, or even just hanging out in Discord while we're each doing our own thing.

These are preferences, not requirements, but bonus points if you:
• Are taller than me
• Have tattoos
• Have piercings
• Have a British or French accent
• Have a deep voice

At the end of the day, personality, communication, and effort will always matter more than appearance.

If you decide to message me, please don't just say "hi."

Tell me:
• Your name (your online name is totally fine)
• Your age
• What country you're from
• A little about yourself
• Your hobbies
• What you're looking for
• Whether you have Discord

I'd love to move over to Discord fairly quickly because Reddit chat honestly isn't my favorite.

If you've made it this far, thanks for reading. I hope to hear from you soon. 💜

P.S. If you don't hear back from me right away, don't worry! I may have gone to sleep, be at work, or just be taking some time to get through my messages. I try to give everyone a proper reply instead of rushing one, so if it takes me a little while, I promise I'm not ignoring you. 😊

Well here I am. Putting myself out there to strangers online to try and find a connection, just like all of you. In an effort to make things easier to digest (and easier to type) I’ll list out some important things.

I’m really not looking to rush into things, I’d like to get to talk a lot to someone and get to know them. LDR is also fine by me, in fact I often find myself attracted to the accents 😅 DM me if you think we may have something in common and would like to talk more! Tell me about you. I look forward to it ☺️

I hope you're doing good out there. I still havent found you but i have hope ! im still here, crying over sad animal videos, and spending hours binge watching documentaries on things ill never have a practical use for. You know, i still wonder what you look like.. i wonder if youll have short hair, if youll be tall, or just as short as me. I wonder if you like sugar in your coffee or tea. I wonder if you look at the little things in life like i do. But.. its getting late, ill write to you again eventually. xoxo, your dreamer girl.

Heres a bit more about me, hope to hear from you!

Who am i?

- silly little dreamer who daydreams about everything and anything. i especialy like looking out from car windows and watching the leaves sway. im very sentimental, i treasure every little thing given to me, even if its just a piece of paper.

- im a photographer ! i like seeing things and keeping little snips of time frozen in my phone.. everything is precious in a way.

- Im quite emotional, i cried over a piece of macaroni once, felt bad for crushing it. But its in the past(a)

- i love cats, unconditionally, if the whole love thing doesnt work out ill probably end up collecting cats.

- i love vc's, im quite clingy and need a good bit of attention, but i respect your time for sure!

Dealbreakers?
- im in for long term relationships bound by rings and silly silly vows
- im not a fan of alcohol at all, but dont prohibit it
- smoking and drugs are a no-go, bad memories last.
- im currently on anti depressants and may occasionally go numb

What do i ask from you?
- max of 6 years older
- willing to communicate properly (please dont open with just "hey", i will NOT exhaust my time responding to nothing)
- please start with your age and a short intro

Im always willing to try. Even if life hasnt given me much to work with. Have a great day ♡

I’m mostly here hoping to meet someone I naturally click with and build something real over time. I’m not rushing anything, but I do want something meaningful if it grows that way

I’m a pretty laid back person and I find joy in simple things. cooking something good, getting lost in a game for hours, going to the gym, or just having quiet nights watching shows after a long day

nursing school is a big part of my life right now. it’s something I’m really passionate about, even when it gets stressful

I like a mix of things when I’m relaxing. country music, gaming, and shows that can be all over the place like attack on titan, the walking dead, vampire diaries, love island, law and order svu, and marvel movies

lately I’ve been on fortnite trying to collect all the sprites, but I also play apex, cod, gta, minecraft, project zomboid, and sports games like 2k and madden. I’m on ps5, pc, and xbox

more than anything I value good communication, consistency, and someone who feels easy to talk to. something real that builds naturally, not forced

if you think we’d get along, feel free to reach out and tell me a little about you 🙂

hi, i’m a lonely elementary teacher on summer break and i guess i’m dipping my toes back into dating after a recent breakup that’s been sitting with me a while.

i’m not really looking for anything intense or fast-moving. more like something slow, casual, and very low pressure where we can just see what happens without forcing it into a label or expectation too quickly. i’ve learned i do best when things feel easy and kind of natural, not like a performance or a checklist.

outside of work, i’m pretty cozy-home coded. i like baking, quiet nights in, reading, and little simple routines that make life feel soft again. i’m also in that “rebuilding my own space and energy” era, so i’m not trying to rush into anything that feels emotionally heavy or complicated right away.

ideally looking for someone between 29–34 who is kind, emotionally grounded, and also okay with taking things slow. someone who’s not in a rush, and is just open to getting to know someone without pressure on where it’s going.

if it turns into something more, great. if it just turns into a nice connection for a while, that’s okay too. i’m just trying to be open again in a gentle way.

Hi! I’m Anna, I’m 23 from West Yorkshire, looking for people sort of close by so it’s not doomed to be a forever online type of thing? And close to my age. Most importantly though, I struggle to feel any attraction or romantic interest towards people I don’t feel I know very well. It’d be a really slow burn, trying to really get to know you before it turns romantic type thing, and even then, I can’t guarantee we’ll click. Please keep this in mind!

This is going to be a ridiculously long, hyper detailed message, so bear with me.

I’m autistic and have very low self esteem, and have depression, social and general anxiety and body dysmorphic disorder. I also have Crohn’s disease. I’m extremely open about all this, and have no problem with talking in detail about my life. I have struggled quite severely in the past, but have been doing well these last few years after lots of self care, therapy, medication and spirituality. I don’t have any friends irl and not many online. Because of my mental and physical health, I don’t have a job, I’m not in education, I’m sort of a shut in and I live with my mum and brother. I do volunteer once a week with a nature conservation charity.

I’ve never been in a relationship. I’m extremely inexperienced. It’s partly because I have such low self esteem, but mainly because I want to know someone’s heart and soul before getting into a relationship. Appearance genuinely means absolutely nothing to me. I’m white, 5’5, quite ugly and fat, so be warned. But yeah, I love writing extremely long messages and talking deep! So please be up for that, I can’t deal with dry or low effort messages. Just getting to know your brain is amazing. Whether its vents, what you’ve done lately, infodumps about things, what makes you happy, things about your past, present and aspirations for the future. Talk about anything and everything! Showing the effort means the world to me.

I won’t ever judge you, but something I personally struggle with is people into casual sex/sexting, and it would be a romantic dealbreaker for me. I believe intimacy is sacred and should require an intense emotional bond formed over a period of time, and I would like someone who felt the same way. I also don’t do drugs, smoke/vape or drink and would prefer someone who didn’t do drugs or smoked/vaped, but I’m okay with social drinking, as long as its in moderation.

I love reading science fiction and horror books! If you have goodreads we can be friends on it!!! My favourite authors are Michael Crichton and Stephen King. I occasionally watch horror and slasher movies. I also really like old pixar and dreamworks movies. Monsters inc is one of my all time favourite movies, alongside Bee Movie and Antz. Black Mirror is my comfort tv show, but I mostly enjoy silly reality tv. I’m talking Ghost Adventures, Expedition Bigfoot, River Monsters. I also love gaming! The Fallouts are my favourite games, I’ve played 1, 3, New Vegas and 4. I also love Minecraft, Atomfall, Disney Dreamlight Valley, and a variety of other games. I listen to lots of music, mainly metal with some emo, rock and a hint of deathcore mixed in. My favourite bands are Korn, Tool, My Chemical Romance and Pierce The Veil.

I’m introverted, and would much prefer to stay in rather than go out. I’m quite shy and quiet until you know me, and then I can and will talk way too much. I’m also really really bad at social cues, and will not pick up on what you’re hinting! I have a few hobbies, I crochet cute things and I love gardening. Yes, I’m practically a grandma lol. I don’t really know exactly what I believe in spirituality, but I love reading mythologies and concepts from different religions. I believe in God, I just dont know who or what It is. I love the botanical lego collection, and collect them.

I want someone who will listen to me rambling about my weird interests, and will then ramble at me and let me listen to theirs. I don’t want drama or adrenaline, just something wholesome and comfortable. Going to second hand book shops, gaming together, showing stupid tiktoks to eachother, occasionally going to a convention, concert, fair or festival. Laughing and being cringy, with lots of honesty and communication!

Before you read this please have mercy on my sweet and gullible soul I’m just a girl that’s slightly delusional and a lil complicated alright 🙂‍↔️.

But i apologize for that title it’s hella weird but I don’t know how else to word it 😭 . But yeah I’m looking for the peanut butter to my jelly the butter to my bread all of that corny and lovey dovey stuff is exactly what I need in my life .

A lil bit about myself for starters is that I most definitely got a whiff of the tism 🙂‍↔️ I also love cooking,baking,writing,reading,gaming and interior design like I do not play when it comes to any of these things . And before anyone comes in my dms and asks this question because I know that y’all will I’m 5’7 or 8 I don’t really know 😭 I have tattoos very cute ones imo I also was cursed with terrible eyesight so I wear glasses I am a melanated women don’t let my name fool you and I have dimples I’m unfortunately a cutie but in my mind I’m the baddest girl like I will not be convinced otherwise.

As for my intentions I am a honest woman and I can openly say that i personally do not mess with anything casual truthfully anything that is momentary is just not for me and has never nor will ever be for me . What I want is someone to love I miss the feeling of being in love so much I crave it like a pregnant woman craves ice cream like I need that and I’ll do about anything to have it not in a desperate way but a non chalant way if you get what I mean 🌝.

Lastly as for the type of person I’m looking for preferably someone that isn’t twice my age like yes older people are fine asf but it’ll be a lil hard to start a life with you when you right at the finish line 😭. I also will not deal with any one that isn’t emotionally available I do not have the energy for that .physically wise I don’t really have a type it’s more of a if I find you attractive I find you attractive you know so yes that’s the end of my lil profile or whatever you wanna call it. Good luck to me lord knows that imma need it 😭

What do I look like?

I’m 29, white, from Poland, 162 cm (5’3”), with long dark hair, dark brown eyes, and a round face, a bit curvy. I can exchange pictures once we start chatting. I have a pretty serious resting face, which is probably a mix of Slavic genes and being neurodivergent.

About me:

•English isn’t my first language, but I’m fluent (Polish is my native language). I have a bachelor’s degree, and currently I work as a caretaker for a disabled person. I’m an atheist.

•I’ve never had a boyfriend before, so online dating is completely new territory for me. I’m pretty introverted and have always been comfortable spending time on my own, but I’d like to open up to someone who feels safe and steady and stop being a loner!!!

•I spend most of my free time drawing or gaming. Some of my favorites are Diablo II, Dishonored, Disco Elysium, Marvel Rivals, and Skyrim. I love sending random memes and reels in the middle of the night. But I also love sleeping. I’m very cozy I sleep with my teddy bear <3

•I listen to alternative, electronic, IDM, noise, and death industrial. Björk and Massive Attack are probably my favorite artists.

•🎀I absolutely love cute things. Plushies, Sanrio, pink everything, cozy aesthetics… pink trinkets they genuinely make me happy. My favorite animals are snow leopards and seals. I collect hairties, ribbons and such. My flaw is that I may appear too childish.

•I’m currently losing weight and I’m proud of how far I’ve come. I also have massive anxiety around traveling and stepping outside my comfort zone, so I’m much happier taking things slowly. Long-distance doesn’t bother me at all.

•I’m left-leaning, feminist, and pro-choice. I don’t want children. Don’t smoke, alcohol sometimes (I’m Slavic duh)

Who am I looking for?

• Someone between 27 and 40 who’s looking for a real relationship. Atheist.

• Kindness and loyalty matters a lot to me, but I’m especially drawn to a man who feels solid and dependable. i’m looking for a man who emotionally mature, and brings a sense of structure while still being gentle and respectful :) and FUNNY! we gotta have the same sense of humor

•I have to confess something a little unusual… I genuinely find bald men incredibly attractive. Yes, I’m serious. that’s my main type. If you like what you read, bald men dm me immediately lol

•I’d love someone who has hobbies and passions of his own. Gaming, movies, sci-fi, art, or anything you’re genuinely excited about is attractive. bonus points for arts and mutual music taste

•I’m not interested in misogynistic attitudes, incel culture, pornography addiction, or lustful males who are only looking to bring up sex in every message. I have zero experience in such things and will not entertain such behavior.

•If you message me, tell me a little about yourself. maybe we click. exchange pics and we’ll see if the physical attraction is there or not.

thanks!

Edit: I did not know this community is so active wow, thank you for all the DMs. I will try to answer them asap 🧸

Hi, I’m a 23-year-old cis-woman from the Midwest, and am looking for a strong connection with a man. My preferred age range is 24-31. Pictures are important to me, as I have been catfished in the past. Please keep that in mind.

My MBTI is INTJ and I am a Libra. I am 5’1 and about 125-130 lbs. I am mixed race.
I have an associates degree in Psychology, and I am still a student, studying for my bachelor’s in Psychology. I’m not religious (atheist) and am left-leaning. Additionally, I lean towards “no” when it comes to having kids, but I’ll consider it if I like you enough, in the future, and if it’s a maybe for you as well. I do not smoke, or do recreational drugs, but I don’t mind if you smoked, away from me, or drank non-excessively, as I do enjoy wine and sake rarely. Please no drugs.

I’m told that I’m “mysterious”, so I will do my best to open up! Additionally, I am an old soul and quite lonesome.

(Some of) my interests and likes:
Porcelain dolls
Additional vintage things
Lace
Music
Some games
Fashion + makeup
Art
Movies
Silly things
Bunnies and cats
Space/the universe
Of course Psychology (personality), and sometimes Philosophy (specifically existentialism and nihilism piques my interest).
Nature
Tea and coffee
The Clair senses

More info: looking for a man who leans towards the more “gothic” (not particularly entirely gothic, I suppose alternative) side or is an old soul as well. Right now, I’d prefer if you are from the USA. I have dated those from overseas and it is not all that suitable for me, unless you’re willing to travel. I don’t mind the idea of intimacy, but I’ll need that connection. I do like romance, I’m just not a PDA type of gal. I don’t like facial hair. I’m attracted to tall, white dudes. Not following societal norms by being in touch with their “femininity”, such as emotions and introspection, and are more outgoing than I am. I am quite reserved.

Thank you for reading, reach out if you feel suitable and comfortable!

Hi! I’m 19f, but i’ll be turning 20 this month! Just trying this out to see if i get lucky!! I currently live on the northern east coast but in about 1.5-2 years i’ll most likely be moving down to florida. I’m currently going to college for criminal justice.

✨My interests✨
- Polymer clay crafts
- Collecting trinkets
- Gaming (Animal crossing, roblox, sims & minecraft, if you’d be willing to play any of em w/ me that’d be great!)
- Cats
- The beach
- Most outdoorsy stuff except camping
- Motorcycles

Some things about me! I’m vegetarian (I don’t expect u to be ofc), a night owl, and a feminist (if that’s not your thing I likely won’t be either).
Physically speaking i’m 5’4, fair skin, hazel eyes and dark (longish?) hair tho im considering dying the ends blue. I also have a nose piercing which I think is pretty kewl.

Some things i’m looking for! Emotional availability, decent communication skills and preferably close to my age since i’m not much into big age gaps. A lil clingy is a plus around here. And you must like cats, I have two who are basically my kids so that’s a non negotiable.

ANYWAYS that’s probably too long already so if any of that tickles your fancy please dm me preferably with a bit of info about yourself! I also have discord if you prefer to chat there! I try to respond as quick as I can and I look forward to hearing from you!

Disabled and looking for someone to laugh with and talk sexy to. Im REALLY big into brunettes brown and black hair. I like white guys spanish and asian mostly. Ages 20 to 40. I like sorta chubby regular and scrawny. If you want to send me anything feel free. Lmao maybe someone else is lonely. Ill talk to you whenever you want. I myself am chubby with brown hair. Used to be a lot hotter and inshape when I worked. I havent done anything in 4 years... would love some lovin lol

What a strange thing it is to put yourself out there for thousands of people to see in the hopes of finding the perfect match, but here we go!

My name is Victoria. I’m 27 years old and was born and raised in North Carolina. I’m 5’7”, 220 pounds, and have collarbone-length, wavy dark brown hair. I enjoy fishing, the first time I ever went was this past February. It was quite the experience, but I had so much fun. I enjoy being outdoors, except when it’s 100 degrees and feels like my skin is slipping off my bones. I absolutely love animals, and my 8 year old Lab is my world.

I don’t drink or smoke anymore. I also enjoy gaming and recently switched from Xbox to PC, so it would be a lot of fun to play together. Some of the games I enjoy are Phasmophobia, Dead by Daylight, Chained Together, DayZ, and Mecha Chameleon, but I’m always open to trying new games. As for movies, I love horror, thrillers, and military action films. If we were to watch a show together, it would probably be Regular Show. For some reason, it just calms me.

I really enjoy getting to know someone and becoming friends before anything else. If we aren’t a romantic match, I’d still be happy to make a new friend. I do my best to be nonjudgmental, and I’d appreciate someone who is the same. I also have a tendency to get attached if I genuinely enjoy your company, but I’m working on that.

I’d love to meet someone who’s open to texting throughout the day, hanging out to play games, or just hopping on a call. More than anything, I want someone who reciprocates the effort. I don’t want to be the only one asking questions or checking in, I want you to enjoy getting to know me as much as I enjoy getting to know you.

I’m not looking for anyone specific beyond someone who puts in equal effort and genuinely tries to be a good person. I also don’t really want to see what you look like right away. I know that might sound a little strange, but I’d rather get to know you as a person first and let things develop naturally.

Anyway, if you’ve made it this far, thanks for reading. Hopefully someone sees this and thinks we might get along and wants to see where things go :)

I am 178 cm tall, more of a tomboy type with short hair, and my world is a pretty diverse mix of interests. I used to do handball, martial arts, and airsoft for years, but nowadays I spend my free time more like a geek and in a chill way. I really love going out into nature, sometimes bringing my keychain camera along to capture interesting moments. Besides that, I enjoy tech, history, good documentaries, video games, building Lego, and when I want to disconnect from screens for a bit, I reach for self-development books. Trains have also been a huge weakness of mine since I was a kid. I am not someone who seeks out drama or complicated situations – overall, I just like my peace and a balanced lifestyle.

I am looking for a sweet guy living in Europe someone you can have a normal, open conversation with, who has a sense of humor, and doesn’t take life too seriously. Appearance isn't important to me, and I don't mind at all if you are shorter, for example what matters to me is purely our mutual vibe. I also don't mind younger guys at all(quite the opposite, actually) the only important thing is that you are comfortable with this dynamic yourself and take it naturally. I also don't care about the distance if we are both open to change. If things work out between us, I have no problem packing my bags and moving to live with you, or vice versa, welcoming you to my place. I just value everything between us being relaxed and built on mutual respect.

If you found yourself in this description and are looking for exactly this kind of balanced peace in your life, I’d love it if you sent me a message. Just let me know your age, where you are from, and what you recently really enjoyed doing.

As a final practical note, I speak fluent English and German.
