Project: Find a Friend (Classifieds / Meetup Thread)

Hey everyone. Looking for someone to chat with—not even just casual texting, maybe some actual hanging out. My social circle pretty much evaporated once I started this heavy-duty medication regimen 🤦. I'm 21, though age and gender aren't huge dealbreakers for me. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if you have at least two diagnoses under your belt—preferably ones I don't have, since opposites attract 😁

Hey everyone 🙂
I’m not exactly winning any awards for my social skills—not that I’ve ever been particularly graceful to begin with—so let's just say I'm flying blind here 🙂
What I’m really looking for is to connect with another woman who feels the same way I do—someone tired of staying in her shell and actually ready to step out and build some genuine friendships.
Life is pretty full on my end—I've got my husband, the kids, and work all sorted out—but I’m seriously missing that one close, reliable female friend to talk to.
We can start by chatting here on the forum, move to email later, or whatever works, and honestly, I'd eventually love to grab coffee or hang out in person 🙂. To make things easier, I'm mostly looking at people near Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, or New York City 🙂

A rather lonely guy here looking for someone to connect with through some digital chatting... I’m based out of New York City, work as a musician by trade, and while I live with BPD, I’ve got it well under control without needing any medication. It would be lovely if a girl reached out just to have a bit of conversation...

Hey there,
I'm currently stuck at home isolating and looking for a guy to connect with. I don't have many female friends—for some reason, I've always just clicked better with guys. I'd love to find someone to grab a virtual coffee with, talk about anything and everything, and just laugh. I consider myself pretty open-minded and social.
I'm 34 with a kid. My interests include reading, interior design, and photography. I also have about 30 plants and a serious caffeine addiction. You'll find out the rest if you reach out. Ideally, I'm looking for someone roughly my age, maybe between 28 and 40.
I'm originally from the Gulf Coast.
Thanks.

So, I'm a 33-year-old guy living in New York City, and I'm looking to find someone to just talk to or maybe get to know better. To be totally honest about my interests, it’s usually pretty much anything that doesn't involve being around a crowd—think grinding at work, hitting the pavement for a run, surfing the web, or just getting lost in a good show. So, if anyone feels like testing out some socialization every once in a while, feel free to reach out; I really don't have any heavy expectations hanging over this.

If I'm being completely real with you guys, my therapist actually gave me this "assignment" to go out and meet new people to help me step out of my comfort zone. I just can't bring myself to deal with those typical dating apps, though.

Honestly, I am so done with this whole COVID situation—it’s officially getting on my last nerve. If anyone is looking to just hang out and kill some time, hit me up in the chat. I'm a 28-year-old guy living in New York City. Not being picky or anything, just looking for some decent company. 😉.

Is anyone hanging out in Cleveland lately? 🙂

A little about me: I'm 24 and definitely an introvert at heart. Honestly, though, I've had enough of being stuck inside alone thanks to all the pandemic restrictions. I play the piano, love walking through the city or along the coast, and enjoy catching up on movies and series. Feel free to shoot me a DM if you want to chat! 😁

I missed my "starting Monday" resolution, but I jumped the gun on my New Year's one, hoping this random Tuesday might actually bring some luck.
Throughout this whole pandemic mess, I’ve felt incredibly lonely and vulnerable—and honestly, I still do. I have zero interest in facing any more life-altering shitstorms on my own.
I am looking for someone who sees the world through a different lens, someone who often struggles to fit into the standard mold of society.😁
Life happens, and I've certainly accumulated my fair share of trauma, frustration, and disappointment along the way. My sense of humor has turned pretty dark and sarcastic because of it, though I haven't completely lost my optimism just yet! 😁
I won't lie and say I don't dream about finding my prince or meeting Xen 🤣 but the reality that perfection doesn't exist is stronger. Instead, I'm searching for someone who values love, commitment, and family—someone who understands that making things work is a daily choice and a constant effort... provided we actually click.
How will we know if we're compatible? We won't truly know until we meet in person, but you can run a quick elimination test first: 🙄
My writing style is probably already exhausting for you.
You don't understand why someone would feel the need to turn product labels to face the front.
You aren't a library member, nor do you read or buy books.
You don't have favorite movies or directors.
You actually enjoy the heat and sweating under the sun.
You've never dealt with anxiety or depression because you consider yourself an "alpha" and view mental health struggles as nothing more than excuses for lazy people or weaklings.
If you answer "yes" to any of these, please don't bother reaching out. 😛

In my mid-30s.

Life’s been crazy lately—everyone’s gone their separate ways. Some got hitched, some moved out of the States looking for better opportunities, others are just buried in work... Anyway, I'm looking for someone—guy or girl—to chat with, grab a drink, go for bike rides, hit some trails, and just hang out. Could be friendship, could lead to something more, who knows?...
I'm a guy, just turned 37, living in Chicago. Looking for someone roughly 25-38. Honestly, doesn't matter where you're from in the US—I've got my own wheels, so I can come to you no problem...
Just a heads up: I don't drink, I don't smoke, and I'm easy to talk to. Also, totally clean slate over here—no baggage or shady past (mentioning that now since I know it matters a lot on here)...

Hit me up if any of this sounds good, my inbox is open...

Hey...

p.s. If you're just looking for a buddy, that works too! I've got a close friend who's also down to meet someone new...

I've been feeling pretty isolated lately. Looking for a woman to just talk to—no topic is off-limits. 😉

Anyone up for chess tomorrow? Somewhere near the Central Park lookout, maybe between noon and 3 PM. I’ve got my set, though I’m missing a single pawn. I'm down to chat about pretty much anything, just please spare me the nonsense regarding astrology, the occult, religion, conspiracy theories, or Islam.

If anyone is interested, feel free to shoot me a DM so I can add you on WhatsApp or Skype. Though, knowing Nick, he probably wouldn't want to sit through my constant complaining anyway.

I’m looking to connect with people who are hard of hearing for some correspondence. I'm interested in hearing about your personal experiences and any issues you've faced regarding discrimination. Discussions surrounding hearing loss seem to be pretty neglected lately. I'd love to hear more stories and how others navigate life with "hearing" people and the general public...

Looking for a partner in crime...

A single woman in her thirties is looking to connect with someone from the Chicago area—perhaps just for some long-form correspondence, though I suppose a genuine acquaintance or even meeting up for a drink down the road is certainly on the table. Best wishes to everyone 😉

Looking for someone to talk to..
Gender, age, where you live—none of that matters to me. What actually counts is having a good heart, being decent, having a strong backbone, and, obviously, wanting the same thing I do: a genuine new friendship.🙂

I’m feeling incredibly lonely—honestly, I just really need someone to have a real, sincere conversation with before things...

After such a long hiatus, inspiration for a quest has finally struck me. It arrived just by catching a glimpse of a truly wonderful soul—but that fleeting moment passed, leaving behind an unyielding longing. This desire sparks a sense of joy and hope within me, and this time, I am releasing it not just into the ether, but through the power of words.
I don’t claim to be a poet, nor would I call myself a romantic; I am simply a being searching for another being with whom I can grow.

Is it perhaps too much to ask to find someone who understands the sheer complexity of this world, yet still recognizes the simplicity required to actually live in it? Is it impossible to find a soul that chases greatness with total devotion, while remaining perfectly content to savor the small, quiet pleasures along the way? Can one find a person who is fully aware of how transient everything is, yet still finds a way to embrace eternity?

A close friend of mine—who isn't on this Facebook group—is looking specifically for female companionship in the Indianapolis area or nearby. Guys, please don't bother reaching out; my inbox is already flooded with unsolicited offers from men. 😬 She’s about 34 or 35, working, and is a genuinely fun woman with a great sense of humor. She’s intelligent and well-read, so you can talk about pretty much anything. She also knows her stuff when it comes to cosmetics, lipstick, and shoes. I actually tap into her expertise from time to time, asking if a certain brand of heels is worth it, and she hits the mark every single time—she’s been 3 for 3 so far. 😁 She has a car, so catching a ride is easy. She’s also great company for grabbing a bite or a drink. 😁 She isn't one to overshare; she’s a fantastic listener who gives excellent advice. She’s open-minded, friendly, and quite progressive. Your age might be within plus or minus 10 years of hers. Send me a private message, and I’ll pass along her contact info.

Going to give this another shot.

Life has left me completely drained...

How do I deal with this internal suppression mechanism?

What is my subconscious actually craving?

Where do I even begin to start?
