I made a post before but I got a little overwhelmed so i’m trying again. i’m a 32 year old female living in a suburb outside boston. I work as a scientist. I spend a lot of time in the berkshires. I love anything with an engine, I love to motorcycle, jetskit and boat. I am very family oriented and spend alot of time with them. i’m super out going and I love to go out to dinner and drinks etc. I also love to explore new england and travel.
Hello!
Just found this subreddit today and figured I'd put up a post because wow, people can't read on dating apps. Looking for the person who's down to be the other half of my cool uncle/aunt duo please!
If I had to try and describe myself I would say I am in many ways a perpetual patron of the arts. I love musical theater (and really all live theater -- ballet, opera, plays etc will also make me rather happy.) But also let me spend the weekends out at craft fairs and markers markets exploring all the actually unique and handmade crafts and trinkets that have been created. Otherwise I'm a big fan of high fantasy (D&D, soulsborne and soulslikes, and other such things) adventures big and small from nice local hike to traveling abroad ( I spent the last four years living in GB!) and recently I've fallen in love with baking and the gym for the dopamine hits they bring me.
I'm looking for a partner who is career motivated and driven but isn't willing to fully sacrifice their life for their role; but does have goals that they are actively working towards. I work in higher education and find a lot of meaningful impact through my role and so I'm known to occasionally give a bit too much when things can get chaotic, but overall I like to think I have a good work/life balance going on. Like most of us I love to laugh, I enjoy visiting critters and at some point would like to have another pet (I grew up with small dogs) and I absolutely have a soft spot for bunnies.
Other important things to know about me: I'm not open to relocation from Boston nor do I expect to ever be and I'm very allergic to cats ( I fear the latter could be a deal breaker for some people!). I'm looking to date people who are 28 - 35 (with a bit of flexibility but not tons if I'm honest!)
Anyway, if you think we might be a good match feel free to ping me and let's see where it goes.
Crawled out of the ocean and put my clothes back on and took this picture.
Labels and pesky "up-front" biographical questions kill everything so let's not, okay?
I'm f u n. I say y e s to life and most everything in it. I said e v e r y t h i n g. Please presume nothing and just ASK instead, it's all a conversation. I'm intelligent, thin, T A L L, I don't eat animals or drink alcohol or use any drugs at all, I exercise, I R E A D, (trying to cure my verbosity and get to the point!), know more about all the arts than anything, love being outside, hiking 16 miles (more or less is also acceptable!) and want to hold your discerning, careful, lovely hands, may I?
Send me silly notes, it's later than we think.
I’ll be honest I’m working on myself and I feel like a lot of things in my life are trying to signal me to being isolated.
But I can’t help but just want to have that one person I can lean on, completely be myself and spend a lot of time with/ talk to often. Whether it be platonic or romantic.
My interests: reading, anime, deep talks, nature!!!! animals, learning & trying new things, gym, outdoor activities, trying new food places! I just love to get out and explore but also love my inside home body days. And love meeting new people :) Huge cuddler.
About me: I am 5’5. 160lbs. Cape Verdean. Lover girl (but I might have toxic tendencies which I am in therapy working on myself). I honestly don’t know if it’s toxic or if it’s just me not being able to handle certain emotions very well. I feel things deeply & super sensitive. I really think I just need to be more particular with who I choose to have in my life.
What I’d like: Pls be open to sharing pics of yourself, message me with your age, height, weight possibly & what you’re looking for :)
It would be really nice to start out as genuine friends and then hopefully it leads to a life partnership & building a family 😀 And PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD do not be one of those men that cant go long periods of time without babydancing.
I’m 35, in Boston, and work in medicine, though I promise my personality extends beyond asking people about allergies.
One thing I genuinely enjoy is getting to know someone new slowly: discovering what she’s curious about, hearing the opinion she could defend for 30 minutes without preparation, and following a completely unnecessary tangent until it somehow becomes the best part of the conversation.
I tend to get along especially well with people who are curious, kind, thoughtful, funny, and willing to ask questions beyond the usual small talk.
My own rabbit holes include science, technology, travel, soccer, strange historical events, and whatever obscure subject has temporarily taken over my brain.
But I’m equally happy knowing absolutely nothing about a topic and listening to someone explain why she finds it fascinating.
So tell me yours.
Your obscure hobby.
Your oddly specific expertise.
The place you keep wanting to visit.
The historical event you know far too much about.
The harmless theory your friends are tired of hearing.
If you’re around Boston or elsewhere in Massachusetts, I’d also be happy to eventually turn a good conversation into coffee, a museum, a bookstore, a walk around the city, or checking out somewhere neither of us has been before.
No pressure and no rush. Just interested in meeting interesting people and seeing where a genuinely good conversation goes.
Opening question: You have to give a completely unprepared 30-minute TED Talk tonight. What’s your topic, and what’s the most debatable slide in the presentation?
- Getting my second BSN, on my way to becoming a CRNA. Previously spent a few years as a software engineer before healthcare pulled me in a different direction
- Mixed, Boston based, fluent in French, Portuguese, Spanish, and Cape Verdean Creole
-Big into fitness and also a certified foodie, always down to try somewhere new!!
- Huge into comedy shows, live music, and festivals
-Gamer at heart, built my own PC, own basically every console, used to stream on Twitch before school took over my life
- Love to read, love to travel, always looking for the next trip
Looking for someone who:
Has his life together for the most part lol, stable, driven, knows what he wants in life
- GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR!!
-Moves things forward instead of leaving me to guess
-Is emotionally available and can communicate like an adult
-Can hold a real conversation and make me laugh, bonus points if you’ve got good festival or comedy show recs
If you think we’d mesh well, tell me something interesting about yourself instead of just saying hey!! :) 🫶🏽💕
Why is meeting people so hard? The apps are truly the worst so I thought I'd give this a shot. I will put all my 'stats' below and what I am looking for. Just trying to be completely honest and cut through the games.
If you think we might be a match please dm me with a picture. If I reply, it will be with a picture. We can say what we want about personality but we all know attraction is important and it's totally awkward when you've been messaging someone for a while and then you see their picture and it's a no. Then you are faced with the obvious "I'm not answering because I didn't like your picture" and that's hurtful either way OR you string them along so it doesn't seem obvious. Let's get the pictures out of the way first.
ME
I am 55..people do tell me I look young for my age (I know everyone says that but it's true). I have medium length blonde hair, hazel eyes and a decent body..not perfect but fine.
I have 2 college age children, both are in school out of state.
I have been single parenting for ten years (story to be shared if connection is formed but it's nothing dramatic).
I have a master's degree and work full time, although I have a very flexible schedule.
I own my own home and have plenty of my own money (I'm not uber rich but I don't need your money).
I have lots of friends and a busy life. I have put off dating while my kids were home and now it's time.
I live in a suburb of Boston.
I have many interests and am willing to try new things but in the spirit of honesty, hard core camping and hiking are a no for me. I like to say I am more "outsidy" than "outdoorsy" Also I do not have a dog and prefer a match without a dog.
Happy to answer questions
YOU
You are in my general age range (if I could have given birth to you it's a no thank you and if you are closer in age to my mother than me also no thank you).
You have a job. I don't care what it is but you don't sit around all day
You don't have too friendly of a relationship with drugs, alcohol or gambling
You do not have a prison record or history of restraining orders (the bar is low here!)
You are able to carry on a conversation, talk about yourself and show interest and curiosity in the other person.
You are not married.(Separated ok as long as you are living separately).
That's it! In the end, it comes down to chemistry and if we click...we can look great on paper and it still might not be right. But let's see what's out there!
(Also I have no idea how I got saddled with the username weird internet and it does not suggest anything about my personality)
TL;DR: Introverted spinster seeks eligible bachelor to build something real with. Bonus points if he has a rolling supply of hot takes and bad puns.
Hi!
Massachusetts has many things: bad drivers, craft beer, a Dunkin' on every corner. What it does not seem to have is my person. So here I am, tossing the proverbial bottle into the ocean of this subreddit, hoping it lands on someone who isn't going to open with "hi hru."
I'm delusional enough to think he's out there, probably scrolling this exact subreddit right now because it's the weekend and reruns of Supernatural plus another night out with the guys isn't cutting it anymore.
A little about me in a list because lists are efficient:
What I want: depth, conversation that doesn't feel like homework. Someone emotionally intelligent, driven, reserved, and stable, 27+, based in Massachusetts or nearby New England. Someone building toward something real, not killing time between situationships.
I've been getting nowhere on the apps and I can't meet people "naturally" because I am, as established, always home. So before my biological clock fully expires and my family starts negotiating my dowry in cattle or I opt for a nunnery, come save me from the rancid pool that is dating in your 30s.
A few disclaimers, because I'd rather filter now than waste both our time later:
If you made it this far, you've already cleared the bar most people don't, so you might as well stop by and say hello.
Talk soon!
I’m a 34-year-old physician-scientist based in Boston, and I’ll be spending more time around Worcester. My personality does extend beyond medicine, though I may still instinctively ask whether you have any allergies.
What I miss most is the slow, fascinating process of getting to know someone new: discovering how her mind works, hearing the opinion she knows is unpopular, and following a completely unnecessary tangent until it somehow becomes the best part of the conversation.
I’m drawn to women who are curious, kind, emotionally thoughtful, and a little playful. The type who might send an “Okay, hear me out…” message at 11 p.m. and then present a surprisingly persuasive argument about something wildly specific.
My own rabbit holes include science, technology, travel, soccer, strange historical events, and whatever niche subject has temporarily taken over my brain. But I’m just as happy listening to someone light up while explaining something I know absolutely nothing about.
Tell me about the thing that does that for you.
Your obscure hobby.
Your niche expertise.
The place you keep daydreaming about.
The theory your friends have banned you from discussing.
The oddly specific subject that instantly makes you more animated.
Enthusiasm is extremely attractive, and thoughtful follow-up questions are one of my love languages.
I’d especially enjoy meeting someone in Worcester or elsewhere in Massachusetts, but I’m open to a great online connection too. I’m not looking to rush anything—just hoping to find someone where the conversation
feels natural, mutual, and a little difficult to end.
Opening question: You’re forced to give an unsolicited 30-minute TED Talk with zero preparation. What’s your topic, and what’s the most controversial slide in your presentation?
Giving this a shot…
I’m 49 (but most days I feel closer to 35),
a dad to three awesome kids, and I run my own business doing work I genuinely enjoy. I’ve built a life I’m proud of, have a close group of friends, a career I love, and plenty of hobbies that keep me moving. The only thing missing is someone great to share it with.
I’m happiest when I’m outside. Golf, hiking, running, pickleball, tennis, camping, trying new restaurants, if it gets me out of the house and creates a good story, I’m usually in.
I also love to cook. My orecchiette with italian sausage, roasted broccoli, fresh lemon, and Parmesan has earned enough rave reviews that it’s become my signature dish. If food is one of your love languages, we’ll probably get along.
More than anything, I’m looking for someone who has a great sense of humor. I love sarcastic, witty back-and-forth banter and playful teasing, so if you can give it as well as you take it, that’s a huge plus. I’m drawn to women who are independent, emotionally mature, down to earth, and know how to balance ambition with enjoying life.
I’m not looking for someone to complete my life, more complement it, as I’m genuinely happy with where I am. I’m looking for a best friend and partner to make it even better. Someone to share adventures with, cheer each other on, keep each other on our toes when needed, and laugh through whatever life throws our way.
If you’re close to the North Shore, enjoy being active, appreciate good food, and think the best relationships start with easy conversation and plenty of laughter, I’d love to hear from you.
