Project: Find a Friend (Classifieds / Meetup Thread)

I'm 25, living in Indianapolis, and raising two kids. I'm looking for a friend because, honestly, I don't have any right now. Mainly, I’m just searching for someone sincere—someone we can both lean on when things get heavy, someone to grab a drink with or just hang out. If there’s another lonely soul out there who’s feeling the same void, please reach out. 😊

Hey everyone.
Checking in here looking for some new connections (guys and girls both welcome).
Male, 24, based in Washington, D.C.
Student, working part-time. Old friendships faded out; time to move on.
I believe in God. I’m Christian, but I respect all faiths, which is why my closest friends actually happen to be agnostic.
Identity doesn't matter to me. Character does. Kindness, intelligence, and honesty are what count. Shared interests and a sense of humor are huge bonuses.
I'm social. I can talk about anything. Not much of a sports guy or a gamer, though I don't mind listening to you talk about them. I enjoy running, swimming, hiking, hitting the gym, going out at night, and long coffee dates. I value people who can actually defend their arguments.
Reach out.

I'm looking to connect with a guy from around the Warsaw, Indianapolis, Naperville, Savannah, Mobile, or Napa areas—just looking for someone to write to and maybe hang out with in person if we hit it off.

I’m looking for a single woman, roughly between 25 and 35, ideally living in the Washington, D.C. area or somewhere nearby. I’d love to get to know someone—starting out through text, Viber, or WhatsApp, and then seeing where things go naturally, maybe even meeting up in person down the road. To give you a little background on me: I’m 35, also based near D.C., and I consider my life pretty well-settled. I don't have any lingering baggage from past relationships—no exes hanging around, no kids, none of that jealous drama. I’m a non-smoker, I don't really drink (unless it’s a truly special occasion), and I’m easy to talk to. I actually value conversation; as long as we aren't sitting there in total silence, I can talk about just about anything. I’m about 5'9", employed, financially stable, and generally have my act together.

If this sounds like it might be a match, don't be shy about reaching out. I promise I don't bite (too much)...

Hey, caught this thread and figured I’d throw my hat in the ring...
Right now, I’m just looking for some virtual friendship. Honestly, gender doesn't matter to me, location doesn't matter, age doesn't matter...
What matters is that you're an open book—someone who actually enjoys life and has actual passions...
I want someone who still has that spark left in them, someone who hasn't just rolled over and surrendered to life yet...
I want to chat with someone who still has a bit of drive, some motivation, and can see a better tomorrow despite all the crap life throws at you.
As for me, I'm a 31-year-old guy from the outskirts of San Francisco. Open-minded, no prejudices, Gemini...
I wouldn't call myself a huge optimist, but I fight every single day. Something tells me life is worth
living. You can't just quit. Good things happen eventually. Dreams aren't as out of reach as they seem;
I truly believe they're right there if you just believe in yourself. If you can picture where you want to be, then with a little effort, time, and patience,
you can achieve a lot. Even though everything you have today could vanish tomorrow—and when that happens, you just have to stay level-headed.
You have to know in that moment that it's not the end of the world. There’s always hope, even if it's just the last shred of luck you're
clinging to. In my experience, you never know where the winds of life are going to blow you. One day I'm living the dream, and the next, I could
watch almost everything sink. But I don't quit. I still believe there's a happy place out there for me somewhere on this planet... 🙂

Male, 31, living in Washington, D.C. I’m looking for a woman to chat with—and hey, if we really hit it off, maybe even hang out in person. I need someone who actually gets what it’s like to live with anxiety and PTSD, those bouts of depression, and that heavy sense of isolation. I want to find someone who understands the constant grind of fighting for things that most people just take for granted without a second thought.

If it matters, I’d say I’m pretty good-looking, relatively successful, have a wide range of interests, and I’m definitely not the type to judge anyone. Generally speaking, I get along well with people, too. It’s just... sometimes you just need someone who is walking the same path as you. Someone who truly, deeply understands what it feels like.

My partner and I are looking for a new social circle to broaden our horizons.

2020 is finally hitting—it’s high time for a fresh start!

I'm 28, and honestly, I'm just looking for some cool people to chat with and hang out with—ideally around Milwaukee or Washington, D.C.

Got a minute to let me vent? I’ve got a whole lot of nothing and everything piled up at the same time...

Hi 🙂
I am offering some companionship if anyone happens to be looking for someone to talk to during those late hours when sleep just won't come.
The advertisement itself feels a bit trivial, but I suppose it doesn't really matter; I trust that everything in the universe will eventually fall into its proper place.

I'm from Los Angeles, looking for some company. Female, late 30s.

Forty bucks, pretty much. Man. On paper, he’s got the whole setup. But deep down? He's just an empty shell, driving on a road full of potholes. Like, he's getting by, sure, but everything feels totally off-kilter.

Since I don't really have many friends or acquaintances to lean on, I'm looking for someone to just talk to—anyone, really. I absolutely loathe small talk, especially since it’s basically been my entire social existence for way too long now. Honestly, I'm starting to worry I might've lost the ability to hold a real conversation; I definitely need to get some practice in.

Psychology, philosophy, looking inward.
The deep stuff and the shallow stuff.
Highs and lows.
Everything else...

Looking for someone to talk to...

Let me try this here—anyone up for some long-winded, rambling conversation?

Looking for a guy or a girl with a Pisces vibe if this ad catches your eye.
Strictly hetero
Non-smokers preferred
Looking for a guy around my age, say 28–34
A girl could be a bit younger.
Ideally living within a reasonable distance from, let's say, 50 milesSan Francisco. I'd love to be able to meet up in San Francisco, New York City, Columbus, or anywhere else where the drive isn't a total nightmare.

31-year-old guy, non-smoker, Scampi zodiac sign (Cancer), based in San Francisco. We can chat more once we connect.
Just to be clear, I don't have any medical diagnoses or anything; I'm honestly just here because I think there's a chance to find some genuine friendships. Since there's actually a dedicated space for this, maybe I'll run into some serious people who, like me, are tired of leaving their social circle entirely up to fate.

I’m offering companionship services for folks between the ages of 18 and 32, specifically covering areas
from Des Moines all the way out to Kosciusko. It’s preferred if you have some background or even just a passing interest in geothermal springs and aromatherapy—and, interestingly enough, it helps if you’ve dealt with some form of past trauma. Autoimmune issues aren't an issue either. Ideally, you should be a Taurus or a Scorpio with the Moon sitting in your eighth house. As for me? Well, I possess the intellectual tools and certain visual delusions—let's call them "Mangekyo Sharingan" eyes—which I utilize to transform intimacy into a pure illusion. Please, only reach out if you are serious people; I simply don't have the bandwidth for a mountain of drama. The price for one hour of companionship? Just let the first drop be the one that finally overflows the glass.
Thanks in advance to anyone who reaches out.

I’m looking for some good company for things to do during the Moon cycle.😁
Whether it’s hitting the ice rink, grabbing a coffee, catching a concert, heading to the movies, or just spending a day at the beach—I’m pretty much open to anything. I'm happy to include or skip whatever activities come our way.
Just to be crystal clear, I am looking EXCLUSIVELY for friendship. I’m more than happy to hear from both guys and girls, but I want to mention upfront that I am not bisexual, mostly because I’ve had my fair share of unexpected offers sliding into my inbox before. 😁 Cheers,

Hey, I’m looking for some company—ideally someone from the Newark or Washington, D.C. area—to hit up the movies, grab a drink, or wander through museums together...
I’m a 22-year-old girl, currently a student. Honestly, the whole clubbing scene and staying out until sunrise just isn't my vibe; I much prefer things that are a bit more low-key. Just to be clear, I'm not looking for anything romantic or serious, just genuine friendship. I'm pretty introverted and don't really have many friends to begin with, so if anyone's interested, feel free to reach out.

Hey, I’m looking for some company—ideally someone from around Newark or Washington, D.C.—for hitting up the movies, grabbing drinks, wandering through museums... any of that sort of thing.
I’m a girl, 22, currently navigating my way through college. To be honest, the whole clubbing scene and staying out until sunrise just isn't my vibe; I much prefer things that are a bit more chill. I'm not looking for anything romantic or serious here—just genuine friendship. I’m pretty introverted and don't really have many friends to speak of, so if anyone's interested, feel free to reach out.

Hello everyone,

I think it would be interesting to meet someone over 30 who is attractive and has an engaging personality, but perhaps deals with a low libido or simply none at all. To explain my reasoning... I am just an ordinary woman in my 30s, though I suppose I struggle with some mental health issues and I am currently on antidepressants, so sex isn't really something that interests me. Since most relationships seem to revolve around physical intimacy, I am unsure how or where one might find people who are looking for companionship or maybe even a romantic connection... but without the sexual component.

As strange as this post might seem to many, I am hopeful that someone with a similar "issue" might see this.

For context, I live on the outskirts of Washington, D.C., and I am 30 years old. I tend to look younger, have an average build, and I believe I am objectively pretty. I work, I live alone, and I have a fairly strong character. I wouldn't say I'm easily swayed; I prefer people who are direct and communicative. By nature, I am an introvert and don't care much for large crowds. I enjoy sarcasm, comedies, and people who are generally down-to-earth.

What I am missing is someone for occasional quality conversation or weekend outings—perhaps going to the movies, a short trip, or just spending time in nature...

So, if you exist, please reach out. 🙂
