Hey!

I’m a 42F living in the North of England with my young children, and I’m looking for genuine, thoughtful friendships built around shared ideas, interests and hobbies. I’m happily single, so I’m not looking for anything more complicated.

I’m a chemistry teacher, an avid walker (usually around 20–30 miles a week), and a lifelong lover of music, film and books. I also enjoy illustration and arts and crafts.

Some of my favourite things:

Music: Mount Eerie, Bright Eyes, Phoebe Bridgers, Big Thief, Adrianne Lenker, Mike Flannery, Johnny Flynn, Laura Marling, Ben Kweller, MJ Lenderman, Jeffrey Lewis, Laura Veirs, Magnolia Electric Co., Radiohead.

Films: Anything by David Lynch, Wes Anderson or Robert Eggers; The Great Beauty, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, The Banshees of Inisherin, Poor Things.

Books: Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Salinger, Lovecraft, Graeme Macrae Burnet and Andrew Michael Hurley. I’m drawn to literary fiction, folk tales, and eerie, atmospheric stories.

Podcasts: Old Gods of Appalachia, The Magnus Archives, Jon Ronson’s podcasts, Hunting Warhead, I Am Not a Monster, S-Town.

I met one of my closest friends on Reddit, so I know genuine connections can happen here. If it sounds like we’d get along, I’d love to hear from you. 😊

24m from nyc and down to talk and make friends

Ik not from the uk but Would love new friends from there

Welcome to my post I am very introverted when it comes to making friends. Is it me or its hard to make freinds at the age of 24? Anyways here is an introduction of me and I hope you like it.

Some of my interests are soccer, badminton, traveling, cooking and baking. I like to sleep alot lol. I also read books so if you have any suggestions please let me know. If you have any recipes please let me know too.

So text me and lets make some memories and become good friends

Hi everyone,

I’m Shannon, looking for some new pals. I want proper good friendships, ones where we can randomly call each other and FaceTime. I want to be able to have frequent communication, sending reels and memes, someone I can be my full sarcastic self with.

I love horror movies, football (in my element watching the World Cup) - I love Disney, drawing, art in general, diamond painting, photography, gardening.
I’ve just recently finished university, waiting on my results for a bachelors in health and social care :) I am also trying to kickstart/dip my toes in world of being an artist.

I care deeply about people, I love meaningful connections and I feel like I’m just lacking those at the moment.

I am agoraphobic so meeting up in person is out of the question for now, but I’m working on myself and doing really well so it’s a possibility in the future :)

I have a partner and I’m very happy and content with him, he’s changed my life, so please be respectful of that. I will block anyone that tries to flirt or anything more than a platonic friendship. Saying that, I would prefer to talk to women, I don’t mind receiving messages off men, as long as they’re respectful.

If you’ve made it this far, send me a 🍓 emoji. :)

Looking forward to hearing from you!

4.chin wagging and talking shit!

Hello everyone 🙂

Im 22f and from the south east of UK. and looking for a genuine friendship. I’d prefer someone also from the UK as it gives the potential to actually see each other in real life. So the closer the better.

More than anything, I'm looking for a genuine connection and to take things slowly, and let trust build naturally. I'd love to find the kind of person you can message about your day, laugh with over nothing, vent to after a rough day, or simply enjoy comfortable silence with. I’m a great listener and would happily listen to you vent away too :)

I want someone who feels like a safe place, a shoulder to lean on, someone who listens without judgment, and who enjoys getting to know each other and actually puts that effort in. If we get on well I’d be open to grabbing a coffee, watching films, going for walks, or just chatting for hours I'm looking for something that feels easy and real. So if you are someone who’s more of the ‘Wyd’ crowd than this won’t be for you haha.

I’m 5ft3 chubby/curvy build, dark brown long hair with dark brown eyes. I’m kind, creative, and more of a homebody.

I enjoy things like reading, puzzles, painting ( can’t remember the last time I painted) baking, colouring, journaling, Lego. I love animals well most animals haha. I love artsy stuff, nature, and watching movies and series :)

If you're kind, patient, emotionally mature, and value communication, we'll probably get along.

If this resonates with you, I would love to hear from you. Race and ethnicity and age do not matter to me as long as you are 25+ (tend to get on better with people older than me)

Come say hello, message me with your location, age, and some information about yourself. Would love some effort that’s not just a boring hi.

Thank you for reading and have a great day 💓

Hi, I am based in the Midlands and looking for long lasting friendships. I am pretty lonely and it would be lovely to have someone to chat to all day about anything. TV, the weather, what's for dinner, something funny you saw, how work is etc. Anything, from the mundane every day thing to sharing photos we took when out and about.

I am looking for people around my age and UK based only please due to time differences.

I enjoy photography, reading , listening to podcasts, baking, documentaries.

If you would like to chat please dm me, preferably no blank profile and SFW only

Met some cool people here previously but there's always room for more 😌

Looking to make some long term connections and hopefully build a solid friendship or two in the long run. Life can get lonely, busy and difficult sometimes and it would be nice to have someone to talk to regularly whether it's about shared interests, daily life or random thoughts.

A little about me...

I'm a complete netflix junkie, anything sci-fi and horror are way up there but I'm also a secret Disney junkie too 🤫

I have a deep care for people and animals, which just comes naturally to me

I'm a book worm and seem to have a small library situation going on but you can never have enough books so I'm absolutely okay with it.

Newbie lego collector - honestly shocked it took me as long as it did to get into it but I am obsessed right now

Professional yapper and can honestly talk about anything

Currently going through a journey of self improvement

I'd say I'm down to earth, considerate of others and tend to find beauty in the little moments

If anyone thinks we could connect or iust fancies the possibility of a new friend, please reach out 😌

Hello there - I'm looking for fellow self contained introverts to chat to.

I'm not necessarily looking to make long term connections, unless it turns out that way. I prefer to talk to men - I just find we gel better.

Please be around my age, in the UK and not married (I have more in common with people who live alone) Thank you :)

Hey, I was hoping to make some new long term friends with chilled people.

About me: I'm pretty open minded and enjoy talking about anything. I'm not interested in speaking to people that get aggy over small things (it happens).

I'm an open book, so really do feel free to ask me whatever you want to know. I love walking and the outdoors, so I especially love being out in nature. I love trying new things and seeing new places. Galleries and museums are my happy place.

When I'm not out doing things, I'm either writing, playing games (VR, Xbox, PC, switch etc), watching TV or movies or cooking. I'm also a DND DM and like to play. Of course, I'm interested in a lot more, these are the basics!

Please message me more than just 'hey', at the very least a little about you. We shouldn't have to coax information out of eachother.

Looking forward to speaking with
