Hey everyone! I moved to Gauteng at the start of the year and spent the first half heads-down getting settled and sorted. Now that things are in a good place, I'm ready to actually get out there and meet people for the second half of the year.

A bit about me: I'm into outdoor sports, love museums and galleries, and I'll fully admit to being a nerd at heart. Always down for a good conversation about random niche interests.

I'm also in cape town right now for a bit and I'd like to make online friends too. I don't really have friends and I don't talk much😭 but I'm funny sometimes I swear. I'd nice to meet nice people. Maybe ages 20-23. I'd like at least one friend that is extroverted and talks a lot🥹 kind and non judgmental friends and can be a little weird sometimes. I'll probably edit this or something for more detail later😭 so uh yeah here's my application

23F - Looking to make some new friends

Gauteng

Hi everyone! I’m 23 and from the Gauteng area. I’m looking to meet some new friends.

A bit about me: I love reading, hiking, and watching movies. I’m Christian and I really enjoy talking about all things philosophy, life, and just deep conversations in general.

Hello Reddit! I am a 24 year old transwoman living in Cape Town, looking to expand my social circle!

I like to go to the gym! I like to go on walks and hikes and I like movies!

I am also a foodie, I like trying exotic foods and stuff.

I also like video-games.

Let me know if you are interested!

Hey guys ,im a 25 year old female

Sunnyside ,im looking for a partner between the age of 26 -30

Welcome to the F4F Friendship Friday megathread!

As r/r4rSA grows, we want to ensure there is a dedicated, low-pressure space for the women in our community to connect platonically. Whether you are looking for a fitness accountability partner, someone to try out new coffee shops with, a book club member, or just a friend to send memes to, this is the place to do it.

How It Works

Instead of making a full standalone post, simply drop a comment below introducing yourself. To make it easier for people to reach out, try to include the following:

• Your Location: (e.g., Southern Suburbs, Cape Town - or just your province if you prefer).
• Your Age:
• Your Interests: (e.g., hiking, gaming, movies, trying new restaurants, reading).
• What You Are Looking For: (e.g., someone to do weekend parkruns with, go on hikes, or just casual texting).

36F Coloured. Just looking for anyone who wants to chat and possibly play games or watch movies with. I like comedies and rom coms so if you're into that, lemme know. Also kinda into gardening.

As for games, I'm open to any quiz/trivia type gaming suggestions. Used to be a big fan of quiz up but haven't found a good equivalent since! Currently playing Scrabble Go so if you're also a fan, feel free to send me challenge.

Hi everyone. So I've been trying to message people to no avail. I don't know what it is here that it's so hard to find someone to talk to that's actually not a bot.

So I just wanna talk to females, I don't mind how old you are just be an adult. I prefer older as they are more mature and level headed. I ain't looking for anything in specific, but no one word replies atleast.

Anyone that's keen to chat? Haha hope there's even atleast one

I was so elated to find this sub especially since it's for SAns. I've been lurking a bit ngl but I decide to post 😅

I'm quite laid back and appreciate deep conversations. I enjoy cooking, exercising, gardening, watching tv and sports, hairdressing, reading, cleaning as well as skywatching. I like people with a sense of humour like laughter is literally the best medicine!

I'm located in Jhb and I'm open to talking to anyone within the country. Feel free to dm and please include your age. TIA!

I might send a meme and you can reply with an emoji reaction after a few days. Maybe if we haven't interacted for a few weeks one of us can actually reply "lol" or "how you".

Ideally I would want at least one 10 reply convo a year but not more than that. Need someone that won't get mad if I forget who they are kinda now and then.

Need to be employed preferably 9-5 so there's no pent up energy that gets converted into unnecessary yapping.

I prefer other men since the lower emotional maturity and conflict avoidance means longer awkward silences. I am white so any other races that have a historical reason to feel subconscious unease with me is a bonus. An early morning (after 10) message like "where is the land?" puts me in a perfect position to ghost for a while.

Wordy responses will be ignored. No extroverts, hikers, padel players & other immoral folk. Thanks.

Hi Friends 😊

I am a 29 y/o female (black) and I am looking for friends around Johannesburg. I am someone who is very introverted, loves reading and enjoy watching movies. I am married and I’m not looking for relationships. I am based in Randburg 😊

Hey everyone

I didn't know this subreddit existed but i'm glad it does!

As i said, i'm 36 F from Durban, just here to chat exclusively on reddit while i scroll. We can talk about anything, Do you have pets? Favourite food?

Not sure if this matters but i'm mixed Indian and coloured, I like going for walks and i love tea! I'll keep the rest for when we chat and you can tell me a bit about yourself :)

Edit : If you are going to inbox me please say something about yourself yasis. Don't just say "Hi"

Heyo, I'm looking for people who enjoy debating, love talking about weird theories and aren't afraid of looking into the abyss. So hit me up if you're interested in connecting. I will try and answer when i can. Also put down any interesting topics in the comments, i will reply there aswell

So this is my 8th day on reddit, and my 8th day of attempting to make a friend/s using reddit.

The only criteria for friendship being:

- You must be around my age 35-49
- You must live within 90KM of durbanville
- You must be open to a physical meet up (coffee/snack etc)

I must say that I have seen an overwhelmingly positive response to my posts, and my DM's have become inundated.

Sorting through those who match the initial criteria, I have spent the week engaging in conversation to varying degrees with each individual.

Some of you guys are pretty cool.

The demographic has been unsurprising 98-99% male interest and less than 2% female (ladies do better please).

And of the 50+ invites/conversation I’ve had only 1 single individual that has prompted a physical meeting.

Wish me luck, I hope he is cool.

To make an argument for myself I am:

- Sensitive/shy/awkward
- Nerdy as hell
- An intellectual
- I love games/gaming/game dev
- I can recognise valuable people
- I prefer genuine soles
- I'd much rather have 1 really high quality friendship than many superficial ones

My last comment being, I am a terribly broken person, I hate that it has come down to reddit to make friends, I feel ashamed and embarrassed by it and when I think of my partner (passed away) I feel sad and guilty that he can’t be here with us.

I feel sore inside 🥺

PS: I will ask the gentleman's permission if he would like a photo together that we can post here for those curious.

So for the past 7 days I’ve been attempting to make a single friend using reddit, with the only set of criteria being:

- They must be around my age 35-47
- They must live in Cape Town and live within 90km from Durbanville
- They must be open to a physical meet up (coffee/tea/lunch/hangout/whatever) obviously im not interested in hookups/ONS

Yes I’m aware that trying to make IRL friends using reddit is unorthodox but I have tried all the Tinders/Bumbles/OKC and similar apps, and they simply net zero result (unless you are into a sea of perverts and gooners thirsting over you for a ONS).

That being said I have seen mild success here. I have managed to strike up several conversations via DM's but they ultimately fizzle out, with the other party quickly often losing interest because quite frankly they themselves's are mostly uninteresting people with little to offer in terms of conversation or personality.

Am I asking for too much...? Possibly.

I’m terribly shy in person, sensitive, kind, caring and loyal. I prefer being at home, playing games or cooking.

I enjoy:

PC gaming
Livestreaming
Content creation
Filmmaking
Photography
Making games
Making music
Software dev
Movies
Cars (I built a badass ride)
Pokemon
Boardgames

I’m small, somewhat short 5'5, athletic build

If you meet the above criteria and would like to chat, just drop me a DM.

Hi hi. I’m a 27 year old woman based in Cape Town, looking for company. Most of my friends have left the city and while I’m comfortable doing things on my own, I would like to be social.

I enjoy trying new restaurants, going on walks and honestly I’m just such a yapper haha. That being said, I am open to new ideas and experiences.

I used to find it quite easy to make online friends and have that sense of community but yikes the internet has changed so much over the past couple of years.

Preferably be within my age range. Open to online friendships but it would be great if you’re based in CT and the surrounds so we could hang out in person too.

Hello, I've just moved to Tembisa and am looking to make some friends.

I am reserved, enjoy gaming, listening to music and reading.

My hobbies are mostly tech related, if you know/enjoy PCs we'll get along well. I'm an anime fan and really like the Pokémon video games.
