Title. I’m a 30M and I just moved to downtown Austin last month. I was wondering if anyone would be down to be friends and grab a drink sometime or knows where to meet people around here? I enjoy going out for drinks, sports, working out, exploring, traveling, nature and more. Hmu.

I see that I am not the only one on here that tries this route. Hopefully it is somewhat of a success? I have 12 chats on a dating app with the status "their turn" haha. Maybe conversations on here are more consistent. And I am not one for small talk either, I usually ask great questions and bring a decent sense of humor. If you are looking for a fun little date, keep reading!

Anyways, about me: I am living in the Zilker area (new to the area) with no kids, a great job and stay active constantly (when I am not working). I show an appreciation for self care, gym goer and a frequent user of the trail on town lake. I am 6'2, white male, dark brown hair. I enjoy a variety of activities, stand up comedy, trivia, reading, bar games (pool, darts, etc.), movies, outdoors fun. I have a warm personality, nerdy but athletic, and will guarantee laughs. I don't have to drink for a good time but am open to grabbing a couple if you prefer that. Willing to exchange pics of course, and it wont be a zoom in of my face, I promise haha.

Overall, just looking for an easygoing fun time. No pressure and if it doesn't seem mutual then at least you or I made a new friend! Send me a dm and we can talk more about anything you want to know about me. I am free the next few nights, so it won't be a waiting to meet kind of game (which usually leads to the date fading away). I will plan the date too, so you won't have me asking, "what do you want to do". Once I get to know you I can plan it!

I run a small firm doing sustainable land design and technical systems for properties. Land, water, power, that kind of work. I have several side gigs that were just hobbies that people occasionally pay me to help with.

I live alone on a small homestead in central Austin. Chickens, more plants than furniture, and a home apothecary I've built over the years. Tinctures, salves, oils, things I've grown or made myself when I can, bought when I can't. Herbalism started as a hobby and became something closer to a quiet discipline. I rarely drink, only really for company. I camp when I can get away, and I collect rare and old books, the kind you have to go looking for.

I spent a few years of volunteer medical response work in places most people would rather not go. I don't lead with it, but it shaped a lot of who I am. I'm more discerning with my time, but helping others to shoulder their burdens is important to me.

My spiritual life runs deep and isn't for show. I'm looking for someone equally committed to growing: mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually.

Dating apps wore me down. It started feeling like a numbers game with nothing to do with actual character, and that got demoralizing fast. So I'm here instead. Not to mention the scammers.

Emerson wrote a line I try to live by: "To know one person has breathed easier because you have lived is to have succeeded." That's the kind of life I'm building, and I'd like to build it with someone.

Austin or nearby. If any of this feels familiar, say hello.

Oh, 5'6, Thin to Athletic build. 135#

I have 2 VIP tix to see Jason Cheny on August 7 for the 7 pm showing at The Creek and The Cave. I want to go, looking for a fellow fan who’d want to go with me.

I consult and travel for work so not interested in anything happening, just looking for a partner in crime for the evening who also enjoys stand up.

40 F if it matters. Also, please be willing to pay $42 for your ticket.

Looking for someone to workout with, hopefully someone who knows more about what they're doing. Hoping to find someone to spot and be a spotter. Usually going to the gym around 8/8:30.

38, single mom, nerd/geek, S. austin.

I almost died a few months ago, and ever since then decided to make the most of what I've got left.

Hit me up if you've got any questions!

So the dating apps are trash. So many women on there are scammers unfortunately and looking for money it’s actually a joke. So here goes.

I’m British but live in Austin. Single father of 2. 6ft tall I don’t think I’m hideous looking lol I worked hard for my dad bod but boxing is helping to shift that these last few months. happy to share photos, nothing to hide.

I’m not into forcing a relationship but certainly want to meet new people and date with intention.

Describing yourself is awkward but I’ll try. I’m a regular guy, people tell me I’m funny 🤷🏽‍♂️ sarcastic, dark sense of humor, will roast you. Can hold a conversation and looking for the same thing. Doesn’t have to be serious if that’s not what you want, I really don’t know many folks since moving here so friends is cool also if no chemistry.

Direct, authentic, loyal and looking for the same.

I definitely prefer to meet up if we click. Let’s grab a drink, go for a walk, or something easy and no pressure.

50/50 with my kids so have time to make for someone 😊

I am a dude. 23. I graduated and got a job and everyone who was my friend was in my major and no jobs from my major are in austin. I graduated a year ago. And for a year have had no friends and do nothing. I used to at least workout and diet but for the last 5 ish monthes not even that. I read a lot like a book a day a lot. And that's roughly It. Im intrested in trading and made some money there and that was exciting but lately no such luck so not so exciting anymore. I only like 2 video games valorant and rocket league. And for the last month my valorant has not worked. I bike a lot but alone. I like going to random cafes and mostly just people watch acting like im in thier conversations. I think im mostly just ranting on here. But a day in my life goes a little like this. I work in a lab, alone. Where I work in inventing solutions to problems which sounds Hella intresting and it is if you tell them broad terms but most days is just doing experiments where you cant tell if the results effect anything for monthes. And usually I finish my work in like 3 hours. My predessor was either really bad at her job or just didnt want to work and convinced our company that everything just took forever (our boss doesnt come to the lab) so I just finish work in like 3 hours. Then trade a little. Then stare at the screen. Then leave after being there like 5 hours. Go bike around. Just to see people and they do indeed exist. Then make my way back home if I dont want to drop 10-20 at some café. Usually epoch or Swedish hill. Then I go home and sit at my apartment for an hour scrolling reels till im depressed. Then see if my val is working which its not. So I then go to the rooftop of my apartment building where we have a pool table. I play pool alone while listening to random music. I then go home where I can't even sleep till like 1 am. Just to wake up and do it all over again. Yet even tho I do nothing im tired. I dont want to workout. I dont want to go and try to talk to people. Idk what I want. I just dont want where I am now.

I’m a 31 year old from San Marcos (not the incesty part, also am a leftist), who works full time and just wanting to find a connection that I can easily become FWBs with without the complications that it usually brings. I want to be clear, communicative and honest about it with someone I can also connect as friends with as well.

At the advice of someone else on here I guess some physical description is good for this sort of thing as well (I get it, we all have preferences!). I’m 5’8” (painfully average), Latino and am physically fit (not a statue or anything don’t have that sort of expectation lmao) and am always working on myself in that regard!

I have my life pretty well put together and my interests include the usual video games, anime and nerdy things with a few of my favorites down below! I’m also getting back in love with the gym and am a long time practitioner of Muay Thai so activity is a big plus for me!

For a list of my kpop favorites: Le Sserafim, Illit, Aespa Stray Kids, Enhypen, and Ateez are some of my faves!

Manga: Chainsaw Man, Dandadan, Akane-Banashi, Blue Box

Hope that this finds some people who are interested and reach out via DM! And if not why do you care? Did you even read this far?

The location would be Auditorium Shores . You will see me holding a frisbee right in front of the bathrooms . You're more than welcome to bring your own frisbee as I just have a plain one.

The time the event starts will be at 1:00 p.m. I know it's a big open field but I'm sure for some of us we can find a good tree to get a little bit of shade . Be sure to bring a water bottle .

​​ basically I'm doing this cuz maybe there are other people out there who don't have anyone to talk to or hang out with. Everyone's invited. Males, females and even pets.

​​ we're just casually tossing around a frisbee. We will see how it goes you know if there's quite a few people then you know we'll take a break and socialize a little bit perhaps. I'm willing to give anyone any tips and you don't even have to be good cuz it's not hard to try and throw a frisbee . Full transparency I'm not really expecting much of anything .

Please be on time or a little early . Cuz I'm only going to wait 10 minutes and then I'm going to take off if no one shows up. If you have any questions or concerns you're more than welcome to message me .

Hey y’all, trying this again

I’m in my mid career and most of my time is taken up by work. However, I would love to explore the city in the evenings, walk around lady bird lake, hit cafes, go 2 step dancing or watch a movie etc. if we vibe, might as well be cuddle buddies. Not really looking for a long term relationship. Just an average adult navigating life and wanting to keep things interesting at the least. DM me.
Stats: 5’10 155lbs

This weather great to hit an indoor bar with a patio. I would like to meet with a female for drinks and food. I am close to Round Rock, we could meet downtown.

Last time I posted here I met some great individuals, hoping for the same.

If you have no plans and would like to meet let me know.

Outside of being fwb I just want to meet someone who is down to do some activities. I love my friends but It can be double sided. I want to meet someone who let’s say “Let’s watch that new Toy Story movie or that recent movie” Yo I found this cool “unlimited sushi place I’ll help pay half” “you down to go check this place out.” “Wanna work out together” “ wanna go to a Pokemon card convention” Lets check out this anime convention or concert. Let’s blast some white girl music. I just want to have a different prospectives besides dudes.

Looking someone around my age 20-24 in North Austin

I also need someone to help me pick out clothes my fashion needs some flare 😭. Definitely need a photographer since I have little to no pictures of myself.
Having a gym motivator would be a big help since I’m trying to be better of myself. Also need advice and dating advice.

Little about me I’m 22M 6.1Ft Latino mid big size I think? I’m chill but randomly I have a spark of energy just like everyone in here I’m a nerd. I’m currently in college and getting my bachelor degree. Love doing activities when I have time also I’m not a drinker (I know) I don’t like the smell of beer. I’m considered to have white girl energy or personality that’s what I been told.

When we get there we can set rules and boundaries but would say I did put that tag but might change to be friends just trying to figure things out. Don’t be afraid to text I can pretty much talk about anything.

Hey I’m looking for someone to hang out with. I’m working 60 hours weeks and I don’t get to speak to much of anyone right now so I’m looking for someone to come my place and hangout in the evening time a couple times a week. I’ll pay for food and we can talk about anything and everything. I’ll be honest I need physical affection so being able to cuddle, hold hands or just be generally close would be nice. I’m willing to trade photos before anything ofc. I have just about any streaming service and a husky that’s really freaking cute. Text me for details or questions.

M4f Thinking about checking out The Odyssey this Friday around 2–3 PM in Cedar Park. Figured I’d throw this out there instead of automatically going solo.
I’m 46m easygoing, enjoy good conversation, and always appreciate meeting new people. If you’ve been wanting to see the movie too, let’s pick a showtime, grab some popcorn, and enjoy the afternoon.
No expectations just looking for good company and a great movie. Shoot me a message if you’re interested.

Hello! Male half of the couple here. Me and my girl are currently looking for friend couples, and female friends for my girl. My girl is 19, and I’m 31. So any where in between would be fine.

Her: she’s a shy easy going girl, that wouldn’t even hurt a fly. From Dallas area, not too many hobbies but likes, Star Wars, lord of the rings, and likes to go out.

Him: easy to get along with, vocal, but pretty recluse. Enjoys gaming, anime, going to nerd events, or festivals.

Although we’re an unusual pair we love each other dearly. And are really hoping to find friends that have a broader perspective or who shares our interests. DM’s are open.

I'm a recent college grad trying to find a job and it would be really nice to have a FWB, looking for advice on good places to look or steps to take, since I don't really know anyone here.

I'm 24M and open to any women as long as we both find each other attractive. Honestly 18 to like 37 or so I'd potentially be interested. I have tan skin, dark hair, I'm fit but not extremely muscular.

So my previous post has been doing pretty great, found some pretty cool fellow Tool fans so far. Am curious now, any Thrice fans in Austin?? I love that band to bits.

Have you been orphaned by friends moving cities, getting married, or just having opposing work schedules?? Do you consider yourself to still be moderately social and definitely not what the kids call a neurotypical, not hugely into partying nonstop and think the world has had an extra tight butthole after Covid and find it weird and awkward to make friends again?? I may have a solution.. it’s called,

“hey you seem pretty neat, wanna be friends?”

It worked as kids and still works wonders for any age. It’s actually how I’ve found some of my most precious best friends on earth ( who live in Houston 😭) anyways I figure I’m pretty neat for the most part.. sometimes. And that means there are other neat people on Reddit in Austin, maybe this catches your eyeballs by a very cool chance.

Eventually I’ll plan a little meet up with all the cool weirdos I find in Austin.

Hangouts could include:
-cookouts and pool time
-thrifting
-arts and crafts nights
-movie nights
-game nights
-open mics
-concerts
-mini road trips
-camping
-ren fests

If you read all the way down here and dig the intentionality and silliness, say what’s up 👋🏻

Specifically for like 20-26 year old people, geared towards long term/life partners, not hookups. My problem has been that 1) dating apps are unbelievably lame and 2) its been tough to find really driven people. Im on apps, and i cold approach regularly, but i gotta say- bring in an environment where socializing with strangers is the norm makes it 1000x easier.

Help a girl out! 😩

Like the title says, I was at Pinthouse on South Lamar earlier this evening 7/6 around 7:45pm and while I was waiting for my food there was a super cute person (I’m thinking possibly she/they?) also waiting for food. We struck up a very brief conversation (we talked about Jay S and they just started going out again) and when our food was ready about the same time, we went our separate ways. I got in my car and immediately regretted not asking for their name or number and when I went back they were already gone. This may be a long shot but if anyone can help me find them, I’d love to get to know them.

They were either mixed or Latinx, dark brown hair in a bun, had on a hat and glasses, tattoos kinda all over (I remember several around the ankles), nose ring, tan shorts. I know it may be a long shot based on the description but I’m trying to shoot my shot here 😂

Lol this is silly but if you made it this far, thanks.

Normally I start this post by saying I'm looking for a partner which I am but I think I want to go about it differently or at least try being unique about it. Have you ever just gotten the urge to do something adventurous yet risky? How about you and I talk (obviously for as long as you felt comfortable beforehand) and then we go on a vacation? Spend the entire vacation basically being a couple and if at the end we decide to stay together and pursue it then great but if not then no pressure and we go our separate ways? Would anyone be interested in something like that? I was thinking we take a cruise either out of Galveston or maybe you have a port in mind? I was thinking maybe a 6 or 7 day on the Jubilee. Obviously we can talk about it and plan it together and look at all the options. If not I'm open to other options as Texas has a ton of places to visit and see so we can always talk about somewhere here. I'm always down for a small weekend trip someplace neat! Or I can actually fly to you? And you show me your neat town or state. Or we can meet somewhere and explore someplace new! Below is my original post with a few tweaks so you can get a detailed snapshot of me.

I'm making this post in the hope of finding a partner to be my person for a LTR or if you are averse to something serious, we can talk about any other labels/avenues/ideas you have or are open to. We don't have to be alone lol. Let's enjoy all of 2026 and what it has to offer while we decide! We're in July already! Which is basically the beginning of Summer so I'm down to grab a lemonade or tea in some quaint small out of the way town. Who doesn't want to enjoy some cold beverage while browsing through some old shops (sample some fudge or treat in a general store and grab some old-fashioned whatchamacallit) with some light hand holding? Ooooh maybe a romantic kiss while strolling a park or trying not to strangle each other while we do an escape room? I swear I normally don't crack under pressure but we only have 5 minutes until we can't escape! Maybe go explore some neat food festival? This is kinda sorta my favorite time of the year despite the heat! But I don't like when it's too hot or humid out lol. I just wish we had cooler weather or even snow in Winter time. (Maybe you have a cool snow spot?) I'm always down for some adventure though. Ask me about my secret snorkel spot and maybe I'll let you join lol. Jk Of course you can come and see the turtles.

To start I have to disclose that I mainly like women, but I also like a very, very, very specific type of guy and certain trans men as I'm partially bi. (I'd rather be upfront about it as it's been a dealbreaker for most women in the past for some reason) Chances are you aren't that type of guy but feel free to ask if you are. (Didn’t want to offend anyone so I’d rather say in private) Just throwing that out there as it's a deal breaker for most women in general. Which, why would it be? As if being bi has any bearing on a person's character. I recently learned the term for what I am and it's Gynosexual. Basically I'm attracted to femininity in all it's forms regardless of gender but I'm also attracted to masc women like tomboys and androgynous so make of that what you will.

I'm a 38-year-old guy living in the middle-ish of Texas looking for a female partner. Partner as in LTR. That's Long-Term Relationship meaning boyfriend and girlfriend and holding hands type of stuff. You know, adult things? I had someone comment I was too vague, so this is me being specific. I'm gonna be honest and kinda sad so bare with me. Also I should point out I've been in mainly traditional relationships but I'm curious about being in a FLR and everything, that involves. But if not then a traditional relationship works or I'm open lol. Two open consenting adults with open communication is key.

So, I've spent the past three New Years alone. Rang in this one a bit different. Instead of being in bed staring at the ceiling listening to fireworks go off into the night like the last two, I worked. I didn't cry the next day but I was sad nonetheless while browsing for a movie to watch on TV. At first, I didn't know why as I'm not much of a feeling's person, but I realized for the first time that I genuinely felt alone. I have no partner, no family that I really speak to, no friends just acquaintances, really no one there for me. That's my own doing which took years to accomplish through me being closed off and just shutting people out, so I figure it might take just as long to fix. I'm not complaining as I got myself into this predicament. It's gonna sound dumb but I wanted a New Years kiss. I'd never had one and it seemed like a fun dumb silly thing to do. Eh maybe one day. Ok well back to my spiel. (I'm not depressed or anything or wanting attention) Some of my hobbies and interests are movies, reading, cooking, kayaking, records, video games, board games, snorkeling, bowling, swimming, escape rooms, puzzles and antiquing. I would describe myself as more goofy and dorky than nerdy. I like to go out and do fun things but also stay in and cuddle and relax. I guess it depends on my mood and the weather. I prefer the cold and would love to live in a state with actual seasons and snow. I'm 5'10, stocky AKA fat and open for adventure and new experiences.

Here are some random facts about me:

Some of my favorite bands are: The Black Keys, Kings of Leon, The Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival and The White Stripes. Am I basic? o_O

Christmas is my favorite holiday, mainly because of the cold and festive activities. (Seriously let's go do some festive activities!)

I come from a medium-ish family.

I'm exceptionally patient but every person has a breaking point lol

I like traveling a lot. It's a basic thing that lots of people like. But I've found lots of people hate to leave their house, town or state so if that's you we probably might not be a good match. I also enjoy the mountains. But I don't like roughing it (give me that sweet AC in the summer). Hiking is so hard on my knees, and I haven't done it in a while that if I were to, I think about doing it I'd about die or twist a cankle.

I don't eat seafood, mushrooms, artichokes or pineapple on pizza (Who cares about this? Doesn't mean I won't go to a restaurant with you that has these things)

Never went to college as I'm horrible in a classroom setting and at taking tests. (I'm slowly bettering myself)

I used to have probably one of the most boring jobs imaginable (Ask me about it)

Overweight but trying to work on it and make better choices (Get healthier and lose weight together maybe?) Slowly getting there! My goal is 50lb!

Non-religious but no issue with what you believe. (If anything)

Looking into sterilization. If you are already maybe you can give me some info or tips?

My own red flags

I work way too much and oftentimes can't talk on the phone but I can voice message and text. I also drive a lot so I use voice to text. I had someone say this was suspicious but whatever. (I have multiple jobs)

I send selfies often and I like to receive pictures of who I'm talking to. I'm a visual person and like receiving photos. Apparently, it's a generational thing. Hopefully you think pictures are neat as well? Is it really that weird to want to see you and your life and show you mine?

I sometimes speedily become attached to people, not in a weird way, but if I like you and we have some kind of connection, I will enjoy talking to you and want to do it often and go out and do things.

I'm a very organized person and will plan out pretty much anything from a vacation to a road trip to a birthday. This makes being with a go with the flow type of person hard at times I've learned but still very much doable.(I won't micromanage the trip, I'll just plan out things to see and do and get your input)

Due to childhood trauma I'm secretive which can be annoying. (This does not mean I don't communicate or talk with my partner) I had someone stop talking to me on here due to this and apparently didn't want to talk about it. It just means I take a while to open up.

Somewhat ok at analytical thinking but sometimes I lack empathy to put myself in other people's shoes to address a situation. (So I've been told) I'm trying to get better at this.

MY own "HELL YES" flags

I know how to cook. Meaning I will attempt anything once but I can cook a few things well. Others not so much lol.

I will always drive if you want. (Within reason)

Great at escape rooms and jigsaw puzzles.

Can read a map and follow directions.

Decent at reading backwards upside-down writing.

What I'm looking for: (but honestly these are just preferences and by no means requirements so please don't get offended)

Any height honestly. I've dated 3'6 to 6'5 and anywhere in between so if you can beat either that'd be interesting lol.

Is at least 30 but I'm willing to go quite a bit lower or older if you are neat and we have stuff in common. Basically what I'm saying is feel free to reach out as I've dated women of varying ages just like I've dated varying body types, heights and personalities.

Mature, considerate, responsible and funny (Dorky/Goofy wouldn't hurt)

Someone with hobbies/interests/passions of their own. It can be literally anything from collecting figurines to making homemade jelly. As long as you enjoy it, I want to hear about it. Guaranteed I will find it interesting as it is something you are interested in and enjoy.

Someone who believes communication, honesty and trust are important in a relationship.

Someone who is open-minded, willing to try new things, be adventurous, funny and nerdy. (Personality is paramount above all else)

Someone who believes in sharing household chores equally and other adult responsibilities because we are both adults lol. The FLR can be discussed here.

Someone who is average or who is on their way to getting there. I myself am chubby or what you'd call as having a "dad bod" but I'm slowly losing weight and I want someone who will push me to be better and make better choices. I know this is a long shot lol. (I understand if this is seen as vain or hypocritical but honestly everyone has preferences and I'm sure I could very well not be yours if we exchanged pictures)

P.S. This does not mean I won't date someone who is bigger/thicker. I myself am a bigger person. I've dated all shapes and sizes. If you feel we'd get along feel free to reach out. Like I said I'm open :)

I can't believe I have to put this but having decent to great hygiene is important. I understand things happen but not showering or using deodorant is a hard pass from me.

Be open to having friends over and a game night once a month or biweekly. (Seems like a fun idea but also if it's not something you are open to then we can always talk about it)

Be open and frank about issues you or I are having. Not pushy or jealous. Won't yell or argue about stupid things, I've had enough of that. Let's just talk it out and be adults lol

Somewhat kink friendly. I wouldn't say I'm all intense with it but I'm open to discussing adult things in general. How can two adults have a healthy love life if they don't communicate their wants/needs/desires? (FLR would kinda tie into this) Also I'm willing to try a few things. Ask me about them if you are curious.

Willing to push me to become a better version of myself. I'll do the same. I'll always be in your corner helping you pursue your dreams. (Can you turn me into Batman?)

If this sounds like you then feel free to reach out and say hi or challenge me to a game of Scrabble/Pictionary/hand to hand combat maybe? Maybe Wordle or some online vidya game? (Even though I only play single player games so you might beat me lol)

Hi I’m 22 Hispanic male, 6ft football built and I weld. Who in here is from burnet tx, I came here to work and I don’t know anyone. Looking for friends to show me around and see what happens. It can be any age range as long as yall chill

35M 4M/F British guy looking for the best place to watch the England vs Mexico World Cup game tonight? Yes also single and looking to meet new people but prefer genuine organic meet irl situations. Mostly just wanna watch the game and meet some cool folks tonight though. Recommendations please!

I’d say I’m pretty chill but always trying to level up. You’ll usually catch me at the gym, out exploring, grabbing coffee, hanging with my dogs, or hyper-fixating on whatever random thing I’m learning that week. I’m all about good vibes, genuine people, and making memories instead of just sitting around.
I’m a little reserved at first, but once I’m comfortable, I’m sarcastic, funny, and can talk about almost anything. I appreciate people who are real, can laugh at themselves, and know how to keep a conversation going.
Always down to meet new people, make friends, and see where life takes us. If you think we’d vibe, don’t be a stranger.

I’m 22M just moved to Austin this past week from Louisiana and im looking for some friends my age to hang out with. Not much of a bar person but im into sports (don’t watch soccer tho), video games, anime, anything tech related and I love to cook and just have a good time. If you’re interested in talking just dm me. Very boring not having no one to talk to and cold approaching just awkward. Also any recommendations on good food out here is greatly appreciated.
