21 [F4M] #USA Looking for possible romantic connections ^^

I haven’t had much romantic experience aside from a few dates that didn’t end with anything going forward. I’m very much a slow burner that likes to get to know someone through text before immediately hoping into Vc or irl. Open to long distance.

Ill be honest I’m not extremely established in my life, I do still stay with my mom, no car yet but I def want one in the future, I work full time but I’m aiming to find a stable field I truly want to be in!

I’m 5,6 i don’t mind sharing pics to make sure I’m gen your cup of tea. My hobbies are pretty simple, I like to play video games pc/mobile but I’m not very good on pc, I love watching movies specifically horror or family animated ones. I like anime and k dramas. Very much a cat person i currently have one but would like at least another in the future. I hv interests in baking and writing but haven’t set my mind towards them yet.

The main games I play are roblox, animal crossing tomodachi life and random multi player steam games, previous genshin, identity V, honkai impact, cookie run and heartopia player, I visit them every few months 😭.

I like to wear dark clothes 98% of my closet is just black, I have piercings, no tattoos but want one at some point. I’m prob missing alot but I don’t wanna overdo the post lmao. I mostly use disc to text!

20 [F4M] Online | Lets start with getting to know each other

I’m 20 and from the Midwest, and I’d love to meet someone I genuinely click with and see where things naturally go. I’m not looking to rush into something just because we happen to get along. I’d rather actually get to know each other, become comfortable, and go from there.

A little about me: I’m 5’6”, curvy, tattooed, pierced, curly hair, and my style leans soft alternative. Most of my wardrobe is dark colors with a good mix of comfy and dressy. I’m a homebody who also enjoys getting out and doing things. Work wise, I’ve finished the schooling I wanted to do and am already working in my field. I also have a dog!!!

I’m hoping to find someone where talking doesn’t feel like a chore. Someone I can eventually consider my best friend as much as a partner—someone I can joke around with, tell random things to, stay up talking to, and genuinely enjoy spending time with. Friends first isn’t a bad thing to me; honestly, I think it’s one of the best ways for something real to develop.

You:
• 18–30
• Ideally in my time zone or not too far off
• Actually interested in getting to know each other, not just jumping straight into flirting
• Good communication and capable of holding a conversation
• Kind, respectful, and emotionally mature
• Have your own interests/passions and aren’t afraid to be yourself
• Open to letting things develop naturally instead of trying to force a label immediately
• Bonus points if you also have an alternative style, tattoos, piercings, or longer hair — definitely not a requirement
• Into gaming, horror, or anything nerdy? Even better 👀

If we click, we click. I’m not expecting some perfect checklist; I just want to meet someone who feels easy to talk to and see where it goes. 😊

26[F4M] #online looking for someone special

Hello everyone, I am a 26F from Asia. I am a writer and I like writing, reading, listening to music, audio stories, watching movies, Netflix, drawing, sometimes playing mobile games, etc. I struggle with mental health too at times.

My favorite movies: Inception, Annabelle Creation, When Marine Was There, My Neighbor Totoro, etc.

My favorite music artists: Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Maroon 5, One Direction, etc.

My favorite novels: The Midnight Library, Life Is What We Make It, And Then There Were None, etc.

I am looking for someone special with whom I can be friends first and maybe naturally turn it into dating/relationship. We can talk about life, mental health, movies, music, our hobbies and interests, etc. I want someone I can talk comfortably, who can be good-looking, and most importantly, caring, understanding and maybe a bit fun. I want an emotional connection more than anything. Any country works, though I slightly prefer men from USA, Europe or East Asia.

So, if that sounds good and you're interested to chat, feel free to DM me!

A Community Check-In, Posting Update, and Reminder About Respect

Hi everyone,

I want to say this directly: I’m sorry I was less visible here recently.

ISD matters to me deeply, and the people this community was built for matter to me deeply. Being away from the front-facing side of things for a while felt wrong, because this is not just another subreddit to me.

This community is special.

There have been some genuinely amazing posts here. Thoughtful posts. Vulnerable posts. Funny posts. Quiet posts. Awkward-but-honest posts. Posts from people trying to put themselves out there even though that is not easy for them.

That is exactly why ISD exists.

A single bad apple does not ruin the rest of the batch. The bots, scammers, low-effort accounts, recycled dating ads, and bad-faith users do not change how much I value the genuine people here. If anything, they make me more protective of the users who are actually trying.

If you are angry, direct it at me

For those unhappy with the mods, for those who feel personally wronged, and for those who want to lash out: message me directly at u/SageOD.

Not modmail.

To be clear, this does not mean messaging me privately is how you get a moderation action overturned. If you are making an actual appeal, asking about a removal, or providing evidence for review, that still belongs in modmail. Modmail is where official moderation decisions are handled.

But insults, aggression, threats, and rude behavior need to stay out of modmail.

If you are upset about how this community is moderated and what you actually want to do is lash out, direct that at me instead. I made the rules. My mods may play a part in enforcing them, but they are my rules. The decisions they make come from moderation standards I helped build and trained them on.

Keep that shit away from my mods and out of modmail.

My mod team is an extension of me when they are acting on behalf of this community. If you have a serious problem with the way moderation is being handled, come to me directly.

That does not mean abuse will magically get you what you want. It means my team should not have to absorb hostility for enforcing standards I created.

If your message crosses into harassment, threats, slurs, or abuse, I will decide whether it deserves a response, a block, a report, or further action.

On a lighter note, users who genuinely need someone to talk to can also reach out privately. If you are lost, confused, lonely, unsure how to participate, or just need someone to hear you out, you can message me.

I can be personal with you. I can offer advice. I can help explain things when needed.

That said, I need to be clear about boundaries. I cannot be everyone’s close personal friend, and I try to stay professional with this community. I am also single by choice, and I will not use or abuse my own community to seek a relationship. Please respect that.

But I can be kind. I can listen. I can help educate where I can. And if you have nowhere else to go, it does not hurt to reach out.

The community was not abandoned

While I was less visible, the community was not abandoned.

Our mod team has been working hard behind the scenes: reviewing posts, handling removals, watching for spam, catching bad-faith activity, answering reports, and trying to keep ISD safe and usable for the people who are here for genuine connection.

They did not catch absolutely everything. No moderation team ever will.

But they kept the balance.

After reviewing the actions taken while I was less active, I can say this clearly:

The team has been doing real work for this community.

For some perspective, in the past 30 days ISD had:

  • 455.9k visits
  • 4.1k members joined
  • 2.1k items published
  • 3.3k items removed
  • 710 items filtered by safety systems
  • 937 posts and 1.2k comments made

Those removed and filtered items include a mix of things: bots, spam, routine title/flair issues, low-effort content, safety concerns, and other rule violations. Not every removal is dramatic. Some are simple fixes. Some are not.

But the numbers show something important: this community is active, growing, and being protected every day.

Posting limits have been adjusted

We have made a few posting-limit adjustments to make things smoother for genuine users who are trying to fix honest mistakes.

Users may now submit up to 2 posts every 12 hours.

Some automatic removals should also no longer count against that posting limit. This means that if AutoMod removes a post for a fixable issue, such as a title problem or missing required information, users should have more room to correct the problem without immediately being blocked by the posting limit.

That does not mean users should repeatedly delete and repost.

If your post is removed, read the removal reason carefully. If it is a simple fix, correct it properly. If you are unsure, reply to the original removal message or wait for moderator review.

Repeated deleting, reposting, resubmitting the same content, ignoring removal messages, or trying to force a post through can still be treated as spam, reposting, or moderation circumvention.

The goal is to make honest fixes easier.

It is not to make spam easier.

Please treat the mod team with respect

Moderating ISD is unpaid work.

Owning this community does not make money. Reviewing posts does not make money. Reading modmail does not make money. Checking suspicious accounts, handling reports, reviewing appeals, dealing with bots, and removing unsafe content does not make money.

But it also is not really just a hobby.

It is a commitment. A belief. A desire to do something that leads to something greater than ourselves.

That also means moderators are still people with lives outside of Reddit. Sometimes we are away because our lives need us. That may mean jobs, families, friends, health, school, hobbies, responsibilities, or just needing time to breathe.

This community is something we care about deeply, but it is also something being squeezed into real lives by real people.

Because of that, we cannot always get to modmail immediately. If you send us a message, please give us time to respond. In most cases, we suggest waiting at least 24 hours before panicking or sending repeated follow-ups.

Believe in us like I believe in you guys.

A removed post does not mean we think you are a bad person.

Sometimes it means your title was missing required information. Sometimes it means the flair was wrong. Sometimes it means the post looked recycled, too vague, unsafe, or not aligned with the rules.

Some issues are simple to fix.

Some are not.

Questions are allowed. Playing dumb is not.

You are allowed to have questions.

You are allowed to be confused.

You are allowed to appeal.

But if moderators tell you the issue is recycled content, spam, mass posting, suspicious activity, or a broader account pattern, do not pretend there is no possible way to understand what that means.

Moderators can review more than just the one post sitting in front of them. We can review public posting history, prior removals, repeated patterns, repost behavior, and moderation context.

A recycled post does not always mean you posted the same ad in ISD before.

It may mean the same or near-identical dating ad was posted in another subreddit. It may mean the same title, structure, wording, photos, or core message has been reused across multiple communities. It may mean the account is treating ISD like one more place to cast the same net.

Do not treat moderators like they cannot see the pattern.

We are paying attention.

If the issue is obvious and a user chooses to play confused, argue in circles, ignore the explanation, or act like moderators cannot understand what is happening, that can make the situation worse. Depending on the severity, that behavior may lead to a temporary ban or a permanent ban.

What counts as recycled content, spam, or mass posting?

ISD is not here to be another stop for the same dating ad used everywhere else.

Recycled content can include:

  • Copying the same dating post from another subreddit into ISD
  • Lightly editing a post while keeping the same title, structure, and core wording
  • Reusing the same dating ad across multiple dating communities
  • Deleting and reposting the same or nearly same content to get more attention
  • Posting the same introduction repeatedly with minor changes
  • Bringing a general r4r-style ad here instead of writing something for this community

Spam or mass posting can include:

  • Posting the same or similar message across multiple communities
  • Repeatedly commenting low-effort contact requests
  • Treating users like targets instead of people
  • Using ISD mainly to collect DMs
  • Deleting and reposting to avoid removals, cooldowns, or moderator review
  • Ignoring removal messages and repeatedly trying to force content through

You may use the same basic facts about yourself. You do not need to invent a new personality for every subreddit.

But the post itself should feel written for ISD specifically.

If you disagree with that standard, that is your choice. But do not argue with us about whether the rule should exist.

ISD has users we care about, and these rules exist to protect them. If you do not want to follow those standards, you are free to leave. We respect that choice, and we wish you well on your journey.

But while you are here, the rules apply.

Respect in modmail matters

Getting angry at moderators for enforcing posted rules will not help your appeal. If you come into modmail rude, hostile, insulting, or accusatory, that does not make us more likely to reverse an action.

It usually does the opposite.

You are expected to communicate respectfully.

Threats, harassment, insults, or hostility toward moderators or users will not be tolerated. If someone has frustration with a moderation decision, bring it to modmail calmly. Do not take it out on the people doing the work or on other members of this community.

I will be very patient with honest confusion.

I will be much less patient with people who mistreat my mod team or the users of this community.

We want ISD to stay open to genuine users

We do get bots and bad-faith accounts.

Every growing community does.

But we do not want ISD to become a locked-down community where only pre-approved or verified users can participate. We want to avoid that for as long as we reasonably can, because this community should remain available to genuine users, including quiet users who read more than they post.

That only works if the community helps us.

So please:

Report. Report. Report.

If you see a bot we missed, report it.

If you see someone pressuring users to move off-platform too quickly or too aggressively, report it.

If someone from this community messages you with insults, harassment, manipulation, NSFW pressure, deceptive identity, or anything that feels unsafe, send us modmail.

Please include evidence when possible. Screenshots, links, usernames, and context help us act properly. We do have to handle these things carefully and by the book.

The report button and modmail are more powerful than they might seem. You may not always see what happens afterward, but reports help us spot patterns, review accounts, remove unsafe users, and protect people who might not speak up themselves.

The goal has not changed

ISD exists because introverted and quieter people deserve a place where they can seek connection without being drowned out by spam, pressure, NSFW behavior, recycled dating ads, or people treating every subreddit like another place to cast the same net.

We are not perfect. We will make mistakes. When we do, we will try to fix them.

But the goal has not changed:

Genuine connection. Safety. Effort. Respect.

To the genuine people here: thank you.

Thank you for reading the rules. Thank you for making thoughtful posts. Thank you for being kind to each other. Thank you for reporting problems. Thank you for helping make this community worth protecting.

Together, this community can weather any storm.

Mod applications are open

One more thing: mod applications are still open.

If you care about this community and want to help protect it, you can message me directly at u/SageOD or fill out the mod application.

We are especially interested in people who understand what ISD is trying to be: safe, genuine, careful, and human-first.

Let’s keep building something better here.

25 [F4M] #USA looking for someone I can be a gremlin with forever

Hello, I will not tell you my name unless you charm me like a jester. If you cannot charm me, I will MAYBE accept if you are whimsy✨✨ anyways, I’m here on Reddit dating looking for a soul connection with someone. Sounds intense, I know, but if I’m on here I might as well be honest 😃👍🏼.

My interests: painting, drawing, playing electric guitar (I just started so I’m a beginner so unfortunately I will not be able to romance you with music), tattooing (I also just started doing this. Many, Many oranges have suffered at the hands of my needle), reading, writing, hiking, walking, strength training (just started this as well), taking photos with my Polaroid camera, traveling and simply appreciating nature.

Currently I am going into my second year of college for respiratory therapy. So, while I am working on my degree I am a house keeper at the local hospital in my tiny, dumpy, town.

What I look for in a partner: I am not particularly picky in the looks department. I value kind souls, open mindedness, and gentleness more than anything. If you happen to have long hair and a big nose you get extra points. I do not want to date casually. But, if we turn out as friends that is ok. I want to be in a relationship where sex is on the forefront. There is nothing wrong with having sex, but I personally do not have a high sex drive and am comfortable with that part of myself. I love cuddling, kissing, holding hands, and just being silly together.

I do not want kids even though I love them. I am happy being the cool auntie who goes on lots of adventures and brings back cool things.

Speaking of adventures, I am an adventurous person. I love driving random places—even small towns where nothing seems to go on. I like seeing and experiencing new cultures and enjoying what the world has to offer.

My appearance: 5’0, dark brown hair and eyes. 130 pounds, my body is soft and not lean, but I am working on that for my long term health. I have lost 85 pounds in the past year so I have some loose skin. I’m not a model, but I am me.

You may ask what I mean when my title says feral gremlin. It’s simple. My friends lovingly call me a gremlin. I’m not sure why, I suppose it may be because I scale their counters to get food from the high shelves. It could also be the fact that I am very short and very stubborn.

So, if you’d like to connect with me and possibly find your gremlin soul mate, message me maybe?

i honestly have trouble talking to people in real life - i find it hard to since im like really awkward at times. so what better way to get out of my comfort zone than online?

i don’t really have any preferences when it comes to dating? if we click, we click you know? i just want someone to talk to and if it gets serious down the line, then id be very happy with that!! although I do want someone who is good at communicating and doesn’t mind if i get a bit too overbearing and can reel me back in yk?

40 [M4F] #Saskatchewan/Canada - Looking for a friendship that could turn into something more

Hey! 40M from Saskatchewan, Canada. I’m an introvert who really enjoys my own space, but I also love finding those people where conversation just clicks and suddenly you’ve been talking for hours.

I’m a big believer in friendship first and seeing what develops naturally from there. I’m open to long distance too. Mostly I’d love to find someone to share the everyday stuff with: random thoughts, little wins, photos, recommendations, ridiculous conversations, and eventually adventures together if we hit it off.

I’m into movies, TV, and really anything with great storytelling. Sci-fi and Star Wars are favourites, but a good story will get me regardless of genre. I also love music, disc golf, pool, cooking, walks, and disappearing into random rabbit holes because apparently casually wondering about something means I now need to know everything about it 😂

I tend to connect best with curious, playful people who enjoy conversations that can bounce between completely ridiculous and surprisingly deep. And if I happen to find a partner out of this, I’d love to have someone who wants to travel together, explore new places, and start collecting some stories of our own.

If any of that sounds like your kind of person, send me a DM and tell me something ridiculously you’ve been into lately 🙂

25 [F4M] #Germany/anywhere looking for a friendship which could turn into something serious

I’m a really shy person, so meeting people in real life hasn’t really worked out for me. So I thought I’d give this a try instead. If you’re from Germany that would be great, but I’m also willing to do a long distance relationship. I’m definitely looking for a friendship first and only start dating after knowing someone for at least a bit. You should be 21-29 years old.

I’m 25 years old, 174 cm tall, with dyed black hair and blue eyes. I dress alternative/gothic and currently weigh around 75 kg, but I’m working on losing some weight. I have piercings and want to get tattoos in the future.

In my free time, I love getting lost in a good book, playing video games (BG3, Stardew Valley, Minecraft, Co-op games in general) or watching a good series/animes. I’m also really into makeup and drawing, which are both things I enjoy when I want to be creative. When the weather is nice, I like going for walks or hiking and enjoying some time outside. Whenever I got the time I also love to bake and try out different recipes. I like animals of all kind and have a dog and own a horse with my best friend.

I’m looking for someone who is romantic, funny, honest, and a nerd and gamer. Someone who can accept that we might have different opinions and who I can talk to about absolutely anything. I want someone who stays by my side even during difficult times, someone who is not only my partner but also my best friend.
I value someone who communicates openly and is willing to talk about problems instead of avoiding them. Respect, honesty, and understanding are really important to me. I don’t want to have biological children, though I would maybe be open to adoption someday. And of course, I’d like to be with someone who genuinely loves animals.

Looks aren’t everything to me, but physical attraction is still important. I want someone who takes care of their appearance and physical health. After I get to know someone and there could be more than just a friendship, I’d prefer to exchange pictures fairly early on, just so we both know if there’s a mutual attraction with how we look.

If you’ve read all of this and think we could become friends, I’d be happy to get to know each other and see where things go. Feel free to message me!

EDIT: Sorry if I don’t reply immediately, but I can’t write with over 50 people at the same time and I also have a life outside of Reddit!

23| F4M | #Online first :)

Hi! I'm a big believer that the best relationships grow from genuine friendships. Great conversations, shared laughs, and a real connection should come first. What could possibly go wrong when your best friend becomes your partner?

About me: I'm 4'11, I have brown hair(currently), I LOVE to travel, I find a new hobby every other month and I hyperfixate on them heehee :)

I get along well with pretty much everyone, so don't hesitate to send a text!

(Please say more than just "hi", tell me more about yourself, where you're from etc. Thank you <3)

Who knows maybe we'd be best friends who "accidentally" end up planning holidays together?

20 [F4M] Plus-size, looking for my forever person to smother with love

Hi reader!

I'm 20 years old and I live in the Philippines. I'm looking for someone who I can smother my love with for the rest of his life <3 Long distance is no problem at all.

I usually stay at home. I love games (mostly on mobile or switch, I love watching gameplay more). I'm into anime, reading, cooking/baking, and doomscrolling lol.

I mostly go out with my family and friends. Walking around malls, going to the beach or resorts, or simply eating out.

I don't smoke at all, and I only drink more or less 7 times a year :) I would not like you to smoke cigarettes, vaping or weed is fine as long as it isn't an addiction. But it’s a plus if you don't.

I want you to be someone who isn't afraid of showing affection, so avoidants please don't interact. I want you to be obsessed with me as I am with you. I'm quite clingy, needy, and anxious so I need someone who can be patient and caring.

For quality time, playing games together, calling, sharing each other's brainrot or simply chatting is more than enough for me. I hope we can lean on each other if we need to, and that you communicate instead of hiding it.

As for what I do, I currently stay at home taking care of my siblings as my parents leave a lot for work. I'm waiting for my school to start this year, and hopefully next year I'll finally be employed lol. I've been told to focus on my studies and not think about work until I finish, might be an Asian thing to be honest hehe.

I don't really care if you're working or just studying like me, as long as you're not someone who has no plans for the future and have given up.

For looks, I'm plus-size and pretty asian looking. Small eyes and all that. I'm pale with bangs and long black hair. I don't have any tattoos. I do have a life-long skin condition called Psoriasis that flares up every now and then. It's barely visible now, but it does get worse at times, in case that is a problem for you. I will of course send a pic to see if I'm your type.

I think having physical attraction for your partner is important, but of course personality remains on top. For height I would prefer 5'5 and up. For weight I don't really care much. But I do lean to someone who looks like they can handle me, if you know what I mean :) But it isn't a requirement.

For future plans, I would like to be a housewife, if my partner is fine with it of course. I find myself more into taking care of everyone at home and just doing the "boring" stuff people don't want to do. I loveee cooking, and will study it once school starts. I would want to have kids, but of course it will depend on the future, and if the world is still fine to live in.

To be honest I'm quite into politics and I am looking for someone who quite enjoys talking about it too. I think it is important as you can see the other person's values. If you don't care about it at all, it is a dealbreaker. But if you are willing to learn or listen it's totally fine. Just letting people know since this might be a dealbreaker for some as well.

Please DM me if you're interested! Don't be dry in your introduction and bonus points if you send a photo :)) Talk to you soon <3

30 [F4M] US/Anywhere – Introvert looking for someone to be antisocial with 😂

Hi 😊 I’m 30, single, and definitely more of an introvert. I’m the kind of person who can happily spend a Friday night at home with a movie, good food, and absolutely zero desire to know what’s happening at the club.

I can be a little quiet at first, but once I’m comfortable, that disappears pretty quickly. Then you get the talkative, affectionate, playful version of me who sends random thoughts, terrible jokes, and probably asks way too many questions because I genuinely want to know you.

I enjoy traveling, trying new food, music, movies, cooking, long walks, little road trips, and discovering places that aren’t ridiculously crowded. I appreciate simple things and good company more than anything flashy.

As for what I’m looking for, I’d love to meet someone kind, honest, emotionally available, and capable of actually communicating. Someone who wants to build a genuine connection instead of rushing things or collecting matches like Pokémon cards. 😂

Ultimately, I would like something long-term if we click, but there’s no pressure to figure out our entire future in the first conversation. Let’s just talk, laugh, flirt a little if the chemistry is there, and see what happens naturally.

If you’re another introvert wondering how you’re supposed to meet someone when your favorite
hobby is staying home… well, maybe this is how. 😂

Tell me a little about yourself when you message me especially your age, where you’re from, and your ideal way to spend a quiet weekend. 😊

21 [F4A] #Online Let’s become each other’s world

Hello~

I am looking for a boyfriend in the long term but I don’t mind first starting as friends.
I am interested in reading, listening to music and some crafty activities. I enjoy spending most of my time with my significant one and to play games/ watch stuff with him.

I would love to find myself a kind-hearted boyfriend that can carry the conversation if needed and who is willing to put both effort in chatting and calling.
Preferably someone able to do deep conversation and more light ones, that can handle sarcasm and that has strong ambitions.

23| F4M | #Online first

Hi! I’m 23, from China, and currently pursuing a master’s degree.

I’m fairly introverted at first, but once I feel comfortable with someone, I become much more open and outgoing. I’m also a bit of a low-energy person, so I need some alone time each day to recharge.

In my free time, I enjoy watching sports, TV shows and movies, as well as reading. I regularly follow the Premier League and tennis—and I’m a Chelsea supporter! When it comes to playing sports, badminton is definitely my strongest, and I can also play a little snooker. Lately, though, I’ve been busy working on my thesis, so I haven’t had much time to explore other hobbies.

I’m hoping to meet someone mature and thoughtful—someone I can talk to freely about anything and everything. Ideally, you’d be around my age, though I’m also open to someone a little older.

P.S. English isn’t my first language, and I’m still working on improving it, so there may occasionally be some communication difficulties. But I’ll always do my best to keep up with the conversation! I’d also be happy to help you learn Chinese if you’re interested.

I’d love to hear from you, so please feel free to message me. I’ll reply as soon as I see it!

27M [M4F] To my Intellectually Curious Woman Who is secretly writing love letters about me in her beautiful mind. Sweetie, I’m still waiting🫠

To my beloved whom I have always admired your curious mind that always seeks to understand my thoughts, dreams, my actions and always ready deepen our bond. I have forever loved you for not just your passion to be in a loving heartfelt relationship but you always find a way to inspire me to be a better human being, especially around you:) This is your long waited letter to you.

Sweetie, I am writing this to you with you in mind. I imagine you waiting for me under the starry skies looking at the stars and feeling admiration towards those bright distant lights and how you like to compare the problems you feel in life to the vastness of the universe, to give you a sense of peace. I sense you are a lonely soul that feels misunderstood, unseen and waiting for the day to truly express your beautiful heart, mind and soul to me.

I know you are very romantic at heart and I know you feel lost trying to find me. Those dreams of me you have is only an echo of me. I don’t want to wake you from your sleep because you looked so tired from your journey. But I’m letting you know I’m waiting next to you, looking at your peaceful smile, waiting for you to gently open your eyes from your dreams and hoping to meet your beautiful eyes with mine through it which I can gaze your soul. 

Our communication is not limited to mere words but is expressed though our eyes, presence and devotion towards each other. And my ears are always open, ready to hear your thoughts, dreams and your confessions. Lastly my mind always comes back to thinking about you. You have my full attention. 

I know you are very perceptive enough to understand the depth of my presence so I want you to find the answers you are looking for within me and one day be ready to embrace me with your heart and soul.

I know you will see me for my innocent child like sense of curiosity, my kindness towards all, my bluntness to get through you and my eyes are sharp enough to see through you but gentle enough to embrace you and most importantly my desire to understand you with the intention of getting close to you as possible.

I was told that I am more mature than my age group with an eagerness to support and guide people. But the truth is I feel tired from the battles in life and I’m sure you feel the same as me. I want to show our backs to each other and create a space for us to heal, grow strong and take the world on together.

I know you had a long journey to finally reach me and we had many battle scars to get here. So I’m hoping we take our time acknowledging each others journey and slowly transition to our own journey. I’m not in a rush to know you because I just want to spend time with you. And slowly learn to express our true self to one another and ultimately learn to accept each other.

My heart will open to you only because of your sincerity, patience and that curious mind of yours that is always ready to learn about the world and the depth of our bond. I have a lot of passions in life but the biggest one is exploring my other passions with you and your passions with me. I don’t mind if we don’t have anything in common because I will always try to learn about your world and interest and I know you will feel the same way as me.

Even though we are far away I know my voice alone has the presence to reach you, comfort you and bring you peace. I know sometimes physical distance feel like emotional distance but I don’t think that’s an obstacle, it’s our strength to prove our emotional connection and the world is too afraid to brings us together so soon. So have confidence that we will unite and start our journey soon.

Thank you for reading my love letter, if my letter felt resonated with you. Then I would love to talk you. I am looking for few things in a relationship.

  1. 22+ ( I am happy to talk with you if you are younger but only if you strongly believe you are mature)

  2. I’m looking for someone who has a strong craving for asking questions but also an attentive listener. I will also give you the same energy you rightfully deserve. I believe to deepen our emotional intimacy, we need to explore our minds deeply.

  3. I’m looking for a relationship with the end goal of being in a marriage.

  4. I know a lot of women have trust issues, especially around men online. To some level I understand but I need you to be comfortable talking on voice call after texting sometime. I have observed communicating over voice call gives me a better understanding of you and you of me rather than texting. IF YOU READ THIS FAR, I KNOW YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT FINDING YOU BELOVED. SO I WILL TAKE OUR TIME SERIOUSLY.

  5. I am a really romantic person as shown in this post and I match incredibly well with someone who deeply wants to express their romantic side.

I know this is a long post but this just shows how serious I am. I know if I don’t mention this, people might have wrong expectations and might end up waisting their time on the wrong person. I hope, this is informative.

20 [F4M] #East, Texas; Soulmates? maybe, probably not

I have this strong urge to run away from everything. Do you want to come with me?

Lets go on a road trip; stargazing, national parks, hiking, swimming(or drowning i cant swim), just doing anything in nature makes me happy. I'm in college for psychology.

I'm trying to find a person who feels like home.

I tend to ramble about random thoughts and I love deep conversations. sarcasm or dry/dark humor is a necessity. have a natural awkwardness. I'm a writer and i take notes on everything i have so many list/notes honestly i love em. I mostly write poems but more of research papers since im in school. Im not good at articulating myself but i can write my feelings. Also i want someone who never raises their voice

Stuff that makes me happy- getting new stuffies, having deep conversations, swinging on swings, putting my head out of the window of a moving car, eating my favorite food, hanging out with my best friend, wearing a fluffy dress, having a good day with my family, music, sun flowers/daisies, stargazing.

I want you to do something stupid and romantic
