Project: Find a Friend (Classifieds / Meetup Thread)

It’s honestly a nightmare here. Everyone comes to this space looking for actual support and someone who actually gets what they're going through, yet they still insist on applying all those ridiculous superficial criteria they use on Tinder or Grindr. It's a total horror show.

Looking for some people to talk to. I'm 25 and honestly, for the last couple of years, I haven't really talked to anyone—besides my family and the occasional random guy, I guess. Lately, opening up has been brutal, even though I wasn't always this way. I just don't trust people anymore and I've got this constant fear that someone's gonna make fun of me. If anyone reaches out, obviously it’ll take me a bit to chill out, but I'm looking for something low-key without all the extra pressure. I don't mind if we clash a little right off the bat or whatever, but the goal is to keep things relaxed and maybe push each other out of our comfort zones a bit. For now, hit me up via PM, and then we can move over to Discord (seems cool, though I haven't really used it before). We could even play some games, even if I'm not exactly a huge gamer.
Topics I'm down to chat about are basically anything science or engineering related—mostly IT and physics. We could bounce ideas around or talk shop about potential careers. Maybe even look at what's actually out there on the job market together.
We can also just talk about life in general, or girls (unless it's a girl reaching out).
If a few people respond, we could all hang out on Discord together.
Also into movies and shows. Music and sports aren't really my thing, but I wouldn't mind getting out there to play some sports recreationally once in a while.
We could even get into politics and current events. Just a heads up, though—I can't stand tabloids, conspiracy theories, horoscopes, or any of that superstitious nonsense.

Someone to kill this summer boredom.

Hey everyone! I'm 24, male. Looking for someone to chat with—I'm pretty much down for whatever. My only real requirement is that you actually have things to say and can keep a conversation moving. If we hit it off, maybe we could grab a coffee or just walk around town. 🙂

I'm basically on a mission to find an old friend I totally lost touch with about 20 years ago.
His name is Vladimir, he's living in Washington, D.C. (around Central Park if I remember right), originally from Venice, works in IT, and was born in the early 70s
around this timeframe.

I’m genuinely interested, but I have to admit I’m feeling a bit 😁 frustrated. I’m reposting this in the hope that someone who actually connects with what's written below might show up.

Hey, I'm based in NYC, in my early 30s, and currently in a relationship. My job is decent, and while my free time varies, I’m looking to meet someone new to fill those gaps in the week. I won't ramble too much about myself, but here’s the gist: I enjoy good company, deep conversations, sports, catching a stream or a movie, great food, walking, cycling, and music. I stay informed on global affairs, so it’s perfectly fine if we don't see eye-to-eye on socio-political issues—we can just chat about it. In fact, feel free to send over a link to a good article; I’m always open to reading. I value opinions, reasoned criticism, emotion, and empathy. Don't be shy about showing who you are. I’m not one for drama; I prefer simplicity. I believe companionship should be easygoing without all the unnecessary overthinking, where people just "get" each other. Bye!

Just a down-to-earth person who knows who they are. I'm not really interested in anyone flashy or superficial.

Just saying. I want to see what's out there. 😬

I’ve got a ton of ideas swirling around in my head, so if anyone wants me to share them, just give me a shout!

There's a huge chance we could actually meet up in person too.

I'd definitely prefer moving the conversation over to something faster, like WhatsApp, Facebook, or something similar.

As for where I am, I'm in a town somewhere between Kašin and Jastrebarsko. I'm 31 years old, and I'm looking for someone roughly between 22 and 44—give or take a few years.

Hey everyone. Anyone up for some occasional chatting? We can talk about anything, and if things click, maybe we actually meet up. I'm a 23-year-old guy living in Washington, D.C. If there's anyone interested in typing back—male or female, doesn't matter—as long as we're roughly the same age, feel free to reach out. 🙂I enjoy meeting new and interesting people. 🙂
Looking to chat

Hey there, anyone up for some chatting? I’ll be the first to admit I'm a total loser and a complete wreck. Feel free to shoot me a DM if you want to know anything else about me.

👋

Yeah, that's me. A total disaster, an idiot, a complete failure... just one big mess.

Hey there...
Looking for someone to spend some time chatting with tonight... :]]
Just a heads up, I'm originally from the San Francisco area, and I deal with some F19.2 stuff—figured I should mention that since we're all hanging out on a mental health forum anyway...
I'm also on the lookout for a friend, if anyone’s interested, maybe for grabbing coffee once in a while, going for walks through the woods, or just talking about whatever comes to mind...
I tend to be pretty low-key; I'm not the type to force myself on people, but I can hold my own in a deep conversation with the right person, and I definitely have a sense of humor—mostly self-deprecating, though, because why not keep things light?
I'm pretty open-minded about what counts as "real life," even if I occasionally wander a little past the boundaries of reality myself...
Bottom line, I'm not a bore and I usually enjoy getting out and doing things. So, if you're feeling up for it, feel free to shoot me a DM... :]]

If anyone’s looking for someone to grab a coffee with or just head out for a walk, I’m around... just a 36-year-old girl from Columbus, flying solo, a total introvert with a million different hobbies—movies, books, gaming, road trips, traveling... mostly just here for the online conversation though. 🙂 My inbox is wide open for whatever... 🙂

Hey everyone, I'm actually heading out on an unplanned trip to Indianapolis tomorrow (Thursday, August 12th) for just the day, so if anyone happens to be in the area and feels like grabbing a coffee, a beer, or just hanging out, please let me know. Best, 😉

Or just someone grumpy enough that we can be grumpy together once in a while.🙂

Hey everyone..
I figured I’d put this post together to try and find some new friends. My social circle has pretty much fallen apart over the last few years. Some friendships just reached their expiration date—most people either got married and don't have the bandwidth for even a quick drink anymore (you know how it goes with wives, kids, and family life), while others packed up and moved away from the US to chase opportunities elsewhere...
As for me, I’m 37 (turning 38 soon). I live out in the Midwest, and since I have my own car, getting around isn't an issue. I'm always down for a road trip, especially during these summer months—hitting the coast or heading into the mountains for a weekend getaway sounds perfect to me. I don't really drink alcohol; if I do, it’s strictly the occasional Jack Daniel's or Jagermeister, but I stay far away from beer or wine. I don't smoke and have no intention of starting, I'm not crude, and I value honesty—no lying or cheating here. 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 works for you, provided you actually have the time and interest in getting to know someone..

Oh, one more thing: it would be great if you also had a female friend for my buddy (he's 38). It would be cool if they could all meet up, too. He’s actually posted on here a couple of times before...

Looking for someone to just hang out and vibe with here in New York City. I’m a 29-year-old guy—big fan of hip hop and honestly, just looking for someone who doesn't take life too seriously and loves a good laugh.

It’s hilarious when guys post ads looking for "friends" because they're lonely, but then list requirements like they're shopping for a wife or a mistress. 🤣If that's your vibe, just be honest from the jump.
If you're one of those types, please don't hit me up.

I'm a woman, 29, and honestly, where I'm from or what I look like doesn't matter—it shouldn't matter to you either.
I haven't been in the best headspace lately, so I've been keeping to myself. I just want someone to talk to. We don't even have to talk about the heavy stuff; we can just chat about random everyday things.
Basically, just texting.
I'm not looking for a pity party where we just moan about how miserable life is (though we can definitely touch on the ups and downs). I'd much rather keep things a bit more positive. 🙂

I am looking for someone to chat with—perhaps just to pass the time, or maybe even grab a coffee if we happen to hit it off... 🙂

For what it's worth, I'm a 25-year-old woman. 🍿

Just some casual typing here...
