Project: Find a Friend (Classifieds / Meetup Thread)

Hi everyone,

I'm relatively new here. I haven't been very active in the past, but I've decided to give this place another shot 😬

I'm looking for some friends (strictly platonic, please). It doesn't matter if you're male or female; all I care about is that we actually vibe and have things to talk about.

I'm 32, working full-time, and I spend my free time reading or hitting the gym. I'm also big into board games and play PlayStation occasionally.
I love movies—mostly thrillers and horror, though I don't mind a solid drama—and music (rock, metal, that kind of thing).
I'm not really the clubbing type, though I wouldn't say no to a wilder warehouse party at Boogaloo Draze

I'd much rather grab a coffee and chat, or maybe go for a walk if the weather holds up.

I'd love to exchange a few messages first to see if we get along; if there's a good feeling and a green light, then we can meet up for coffee.

If anything I mentioned catches your eye, feel free to hit my inbox 🙂

Looking for someone to grab a drink with, go for a stroll, hit up a pool hall, or catch a movie...

to woman who is also a psychotherapist
of course, for online therapy

I could use a woman to hang out with virtually too... someone who’s basically doing "pro bono" humanitarian work as a psychotherapist. Needs to be fully licensed and have years of experience under her belt, obviously. Not some rookie...

If anyone is looking for a pen pal or just someone to help kill a little time, feel free to reach out... there's even a chance we could grab a coffee in person if we actually hit it off over messages ☕🍿

If anyone from the San Francisco area or the surrounding suburbs is looking to actually grab a coffee and chat, maybe go for a stroll through the holiday markets or head out into nature, feel free to send me a private message. To be perfectly honest, I’m not really looking for an endless digital pen pal situation; my main goal is simply to find some company for good conversation, walking, hiking, or perhaps even swapping recipes 😬.
Women might have a slight edge here, as I find myself missing female companionship quite a bit, though men are certainly welcome to reach out as well. I’ve specified the location because I am truly interested in meeting up in person around San Francisco and the nearby areas.

I figured it was time to put this out there and try to find some new friends. My social circle has pretty much fallen apart over the last few years; things just drifted away with people. Some guys got married and suddenly don't have a spare second for a quick drink—you know how it goes, life gets consumed by the wife, kids, and family obligations—and others just packed up and moved across the country for better opportunities in different states...
By way of introduction, I’m 39, living over in King County, and since I have my own car, I don't mind hopping on the road if I need to head down south for something. I’m not a drinker (only on extremely rare occasions), I don't smoke and have zero intention of starting, and I value being a decent, honest person who doesn't play games. I'm about 5'9"...
That’s the gist of it for now. We can dive into the rest via DM or whatever messaging app you prefer, assuming you actually have the time and interest to get to know someone new..

What a mess... looking for someone to chat with about just about anything. Just don't be an extremist on any topic, and we'll get along fine. Looking for someone in their 30s or 40s. Hit me up in my DMs. 🙂

Let’s try this again;

I'm looking for someone to talk to. Maybe we click and move on to grabbing coffee, a beer, catching a concert, a movie, or just a walk. I'm a 25-year-old man, though I've seen more of life than my age suggests. Honestly, gender doesn't matter to me—I am strictly looking for friendship. We can talk about anything; no topic is off-limits. This forum moves at a snail's pace sometimes, which kills the urge to connect, but fine.
I'd like to chat and meet new people. If you just need someone to talk to, I'm here. If you just want to write, I'm here. And as I said, meeting up is an option.
I live in reality. I value every moment, I plan ahead, and I believe people can achieve their dreams. Everyone has inherent value.
You might have to wait a little longer for a reply sometimes.
I value openness and honesty.
The best friendships often arrive when you aren't looking for them.
I'm sure there are others here who feel the same way; there are plenty of interesting people on this board.
Sometimes it's hard to push myself out of my comfort zone, so my circle stays small. If you're reading this and you know exactly what I mean—reach out. Let's change that.
My inbox is open. 🙂

I'm looking for someone to chat with—specifically a member of a Women's Organization—so we can vent to each other when life gets heavy 😁. It’s always a little easier after a long, exhausting
workday to have someone you can actually lean on 😉 and talk through everything with, covering just about any topic under the sun. I wouldn't rule out meeting up in person down the road, but since I'm based out of Zion,
I'd prefer to start with just messaging for now. 😉

34F from Chicago, looking for someone for phone chats—just venting, analyzing things, and acting as an accountability buddy. No texting, please. I'm open to meeting up in person, but let's keep it strictly platonic. Just looking for some intellectual stimulation, my friend 😁

Hey there,
I'm a 27-year-old woman looking to connect with some new friends—guys or girls—in the San Francisco area for some regular hanging out. If you're interested in grabbing a drink or just catching up, feel free to shoot me a DM.

Life’s moved everyone in different directions lately—some folks tied the knot, some headed out of the US to find better opportunities, others are just swamped with work... I'm looking for someone, maybe even a few people, to chat with, grab a drink, go for bike rides, hit up some road trips, and just hang out. Could be friendship, could lead to something more... you never know...
I'm a guy, 39, living in Chicago. Looking for a woman between 25 and 40. Honestly, I don't care where in the States you're from; I've got a car, so I can make the drive happen whenever...
Just so you know, I don't drink or smoke, and I'm pretty easy to talk to. No baggage or shady past here (mentioning that now since I know it matters a lot on here)...

If any of this sounds good, hit me up! My inbox is open...

Hey...

29 years old, originally from the Midwest, looking for someone to start a correspondence with—and potentially see where things go if we actually click. I tend to spend my downtime catching up on a good series or film, listening to music that resonates with me, or diving into deep dives about whatever happens to be capturing my interest at the moment. Lately, I’ve been quite focused on self-improvement, prioritizing healthy eating, practicing yoga, and focusing on overall wellness... If you happen to find yourself with some free time and feel like exchanging a few messages, please reach out.😵

I’m looking for a woman between the ages of 20 and 35 who might want to add some color to my life, whether that evolves into a solid friendship or something more romantic. 🙂

People always love to insist that these things only happen when you aren't looking for them. While I don't necessarily disagree with the sentiment, I also don't see anything wrong with being intentional about what you're after.

To give you a bit of context: I'm 25, living in Washington, D.C., standing 6'1" and weighing about 180 lbs. I have an average face—though I've been told it has some decent features 🤷—and a lean build, though I am actively working on filling out a bit 😛. I'm currently finishing up my final year as a chemical engineering student. I hold down a part-time job, I can actually cook, and I genuinely enjoy deep conversations about just about anything. I pride myself on being direct and honest, even when it feels a little vulnerable to be so.

If we're talking flaws, I'd say I can be a bit selfish at times, and I have my moments of laziness.

Anyway, that should be enough for an initial introduction, I suppose. 🙂 If anyone is interested, feel free to send me a private message. 🙂

P.S. I've got a pretty good beard. 😉

Hello,
I am 31 years old and looking to meet someone to hang out and go out with. I live in Washington, D.C. If anyone is interested, please feel free to message me.

Male, early 30s, living in Washington, D.C. I work, I pay my bills, and I’m just navigating life. I'm looking for some pleasant company to spend time with. I genuinely enjoy people, going to the movies, long walks, art galleries, and getting lost in books or libraries. I also love those relaxed evenings hanging out on a patio. When it comes to films, I usually lean toward quality cinema, but I’m open to being surprised if something looks interesting. As for reading, I dive into just about everything—politics, social issues, travelogues, astronomy, and even the occasional bit of nonsense online.
Character-wise, I’m pretty laid back and calm. I gravitate toward positivity and really value when people aren't afraid to express how they feel. I'd like to think I'm a perfectly normal guy who won't embarrass you when we're out together, and I can hold a decent conversation when it matters.
So, if this sounds like your kind of vibe, feel free to reach out.
Take care!

Hey. Looking for someone who doesn't take life too seriously. (Just texting... I'm not looking to tie the knot) Basically everything opposite of those typical ads. Age, relationship status... none of it matters.

Looking to find someone new (or even reconnect with someone old) to get some fresh conversation going. 🙂
Mainly just looking for someone to brighten up my days, kill some time, and meet someone new for chill, low-stakes chats without all the judgment and drama...

I’m an introvert with a super small circle in real life; pretty quiet in person.

If it matters, I'm a 39-year-old guy living near Washington, D.C...

My playlist is basically just a chaotic mix of city pop and breakcore.

I’ve been forgiven,
I’m finally free,
I’m a field engulfed in flames.

Just your average, slightly complicated, nerdy, shy, baby-faced weirdo. I'm into video games, manga, binge-watching shows and movies, live music, hitting up concerts, eating way too much ice cream, rollerblading, psych, philosophy, and rocking tattoos and piercings.

I don't touch alcohol, cigarettes, or anything else recreational.
Also, fun fact: I always match my socks to my t-shirt color. Just thought you should know.

There’s no looking back.
There’s no place better than here.
There is no "later" or "future."

Are you absolutely certain this is what you’re looking for?
ありがとうございます~

I'm from Washington, D.C., and I'm looking for some new friends—ideally people who are open-minded and pretty liberal.
Usually, I vibe better with girls/women, but I'm totally down to hang with guys too. Honestly, I don't care how you identify. Just a heads-up though: I’m definitely the expressive type. I mess with different hairstyles, wear nail polish, use mascara, and love wearing bright, colorful clothes.
So, if that's a dealbreaker for you, then sorry, but I'm clearly not your crowd. I'm straight, but I couldn't care less about anyone else's sexual orientation. Whether you're straight, gay, bi, trans, genderfluid, or whatever other Gen-Z identity is trending, I respect it. It doesn't bother me at all.
Age-wise, I'd love to find people on a similar wavelength, so let's say somewhere between -8 and +4 of my age.

Right now, I don't really have any friends, mostly due to stuff that was completely out of my control. Everyone just drifted away to do their own thing, leaving me kind of solo.
Whether they found partners and got busy, or just moved on because we didn't click anymore or they couldn't handle the things I'm into.

Yeah, I’d love to actually go out sometimes—hit up a club, catch a concert, or just go for a walk. I’m a huge talker (it's just how I am) and I tend to be pretty handsy when I gesture.
Looking for friendship only, but hey, if something happens naturally, my bad. No harm in letting things happen if the vibe is right.
