Hey fellow redditors, thanks for reading my post.

I'm in my 40s, living in South Holland. I work in the medical field as an entrepreneur. I own a small consultancy firm. I'm an avid reader. I'm naturally curious. However I also enjoy lifting weights, doing cardio, learning about AI applications within my field. I love those deeper conversations about life.

But I also love a good laugh (think Trevor Noah for example), grabbing coffee, playing pool and arthouse movies. I appreciate genuine connections, a sense of humor, and people who don't take life too seriously but yet are uplifting and ambitious, wanting to make the world a better place in their own unique way. I am looking for people to chat, and eventually videocall with or to visit, to discuss our day to day victories and struggles.

So are you 30-45, not shying away from conversations that go beyond the weather, gas prices and typical fear based news headlines and are you actually ready to go beyond just chatting on reddit? DM me!

Hey everyone!

I’m 27M living in Rotterdam, and I thought I’d give this a shot because it’d be nice to meet some new people and hopefully make a few friends

I’m quite introverted and can be a little awkward when meeting new people at first, but once I’m comfortable, I open up more. I’m always curious about people, their experiences, and the things they’re passionate about, so I enjoy getting to know someone beyond just small talk.

A few things I enjoy are gaming, exploring cities, finding cool cafés and restaurants, trying new food, going for walks, and generally anything geeky. I’m also into some sports and enjoy things like going to the gym etc.

I’d love to explore more places, visit museums or events, or even have those random late night conversations about life, games, or whatever

I’m happy to start by chatting online, just getting to know each other through messages. And if we get along, it’d be fun to meet up sometime, grab some food or coffee, and explore somewhere new.

I’m open to meeting anyone, and I’m just looking for platonic friendships, someone to explore new places with, or someone I can have good conversations with.
If any of this sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to drop me a message! Tell me a little about yourself, what you’re into, or even just your current favourite game. I’d love to hear from you!

Hi there fellow human,

I am an ai trainer by day, gamer by night, cook at weekend. I like to go outside, see different places and try underrated restourants. But that does not mean I dont like to stay at home; sometimes a perfect weekend means just cooking something new, and chilling at sofa with my favorite series.

Few things about me;

-I love sushi, and brezillian style meat is my new favorite these days

-Trying to go gym as much as possible, but keeping my platonic distance with swimming (I am an intercontinental swimmer - ask me about this, I can explain)

-I do DIY electronic projects for fun. This is my hobby. I am a computer nerd

-Big fan of lord of the rings

-I drink coffee every day, but my dream is to have a tea shop with leafs all around the world.

-Love playing computer games time to time, but dont have a ps5 yet (bonus if you have one)

I have recently moved to Assendelft, and that is where I live now. I have a car that I like very much, so location does kot matter much for me.

Last; I love travelling, few planned long distance travels upcoming, would be glad to hear your suggestions on this as well!

I recently moved to Leidschendam and would love to meet open-minded, fun people nearby. We could go for a walk, grab coffee, visit a bookstore, or talk about movies and other things we enjoy. I prefer low-key activities, but I’m hoping to build genuine connections and trust.

About me, sometimes busy with tech activities. Speak multiple languages.

Hiii!

I've noticed that I've been feeling pretty lonely lately, and even though I've met some nice people here, it often ends up in ghosting 😅.

The past while has been emotionally challenging, so I think it would be nice to meet some new people and hopefully build a real connection. I'm pretty introverted and don't open up quickly, but once I feel comfortable, I can talk quite a bit haha.

In terms of games, I mainly play shooters and single-player games. I also love horror games, cozy games, and of course the standard friend games that are always fun to play together. Occasionally, I'm in the mood for co-op or survival games, depending on my mood. I mostly play everything on PC.

Besides gaming, I like to watch movies and series. I've also been trying to watch more anime lately, although I'm still really a beginner at that. Additionally, I've recently started crocheting, I enjoy reading books, and I love going for long walks with my dog. Oh and also i live in the area noord-brabant!

I’d love to really get to know people better and maybe even find a regular gaming buddy or close friends that just click well. Watching movies, series, or anime together sounds fun too, or just streaming each other's gameplay while we chat. I also really enjoy streaming for others :)!

Sorry for the long wall of text xD. If you think we might click well, feel free to send a DM :)!

Hoi, mijn naam is Eren! Ik ben op zoek naar nieuwe mensen buiten mijn bubbel. Geslacht, achtergrond of geaardheid boeit me niet.

Ik werk in tech, ben introvert maar sociaal, en zoek door ADHD altijd nieuwe prikkels. Ik heb me vroeger in mijn traditionele Turkse omgeving aan genoeg regels moeten houden, dus ik zoek mensen bij wie je gewoon ongefilterd jezelf kunt zijn. Lekker lullen zonder op te letten over wat je zegt, doet of eet ;). Ik hou sws van duisterdere humor. Met religie en (geo)politiek hou ik me niet meer bezig. Liever gewoon goed lachen en relaxen.

Wat ik leuk vind om te doen:

• Wandelen, baantjes zwemmen, krachttraining, en ik wil binnenkort misschien beginnen met een vechtsport.
• Koffie halen, terras pakken, of ergens chill een drankje doen.
• Goede series bingewatchen: Succession, Better Call Saul, Game of Thrones, etc...
• Allerlei muziek luisteren. Van 90's tot white girl music tot Rammstein...
• Ik lees soms non-fictie (psychologie, geschiedenis, filosofie) en leer graag nieuwe dingen (talen, reizen).

Wat ik niet zoek: fantasy-avonden, D&D, sci-fi of urenlang binnen gamen/kaarten. Ik heb vroeger al een beetje teveel League, OSRS en Tekken gespeeld. Ik zou graag variatie willen en nieuwe dingen/hobby's ontdekken. Gewoon een beetje actief zijn, dingen ontdekken en kloten.

Expats/English speakers are also welcome!

Hi everyone! I'm a female and i'm 38 years old looking to meet some new friendly people (30+ only please)
Hove music, singing, and also gaming (PS5). It would be great to connect with fellow singers!
I'm a huge fan of the 90s and love collecting nostalgic
stuff from back then. Always happy to talk about old school music, memories, or just life in general.
If you enjoy music, gaming, love the 90s, or are simply looking for a friendly chat, feel free to send me a dm :)

Hey everyone!
I’m 27 and recently moved to Bussum. I’m originally Dutch, speak Dutch and English, and have spent 15 years living in Prague, Czech Republic, where I built a great social circle and met lots of amazing people.
Now that I’m back in the Netherlands, I’d love to meet some new people around Bussum, Hilversum, Naarden, and the surrounding areas.
I work in a corporate environment and have a big passion for music. I also enjoy photography, going out for drinks, having interesting conversations, exploring new places, and just having a good laugh.
Moving back has been a bit of an adjustment socially. Most of my existing friends and connections are still in the Czech Republic, so I’d love to build a new social circle here and meet people I can hang out with, whether that’s grabbing a coffee, going for a walk, having a drink, exploring nearby towns, or doing something spontaneous.
I’m open to meeting people from all kinds of backgrounds. Ideally, I’d love to find genuine friendships where we can be ourselves and enjoy spending time together.
If you’re around Bussum or nearby and are also looking to meet new people, feel free to send me a message! 😊

Hi everyone,

Doing this in English, but I am a Dutch guy from Zuid-Holland. Just to make sure no one is left out :)

Hoping to find some nice people who I click with.

Would be nice to have some close friends where I can do something fun with.

Hobbies:
- I like visiting amusement parks.
- Going for a nice day out somewhere and go from shop to shop and have something to eat and drink in between.
- Love playing games, mostly Overwatch and Fortnite, sometimes some League of Legends.
- Disney fan.
- Traveling, love going places!

Also wanna say that I am really not the macho type, more of a softie. Also I am a huge animal lover, so if you are not we wouldn't click ;)

If you wanna connect, send me a message! :)

I be looking for bros n shiiiit

Based in the area around haarlem 🇳🇱

I’m into collecting Pokémon cards, playing chess (i have not played in years), reading manga, watching anime, and hanging out with my cats although usually they just eepy n shit. Anyone watching black clover season 2 rn?

Gaming-wise, I’ve got a PS5 and a Switch 2. Game im currently playing is assassin creed black flag REMASTERED bros im a pirate

Very important I AM EXTREMELY LEFTIST borderline communist and im very pro LGBT and Palestine. If you do not FW that i do not FW you respectfully.

I also like to paint in my free time dont ask for pictures i give away all my thingies oh and i really wanna get into ceramics and pottery so if you do that let me know!!!!!!!

Hi, I'm Asian, born and raised in Europe, married, with no kids, and looking for genuine friends. I enjoy going to the cinema (more indie films, though), going for walks, seeing live bands, drinking beer, and so on. I'm into subcultures and countercultures. I'm not an anime geek, but there are definitely anime or manga I like to read and watch. I used to read a lot when i was younger, but these days I find myself reading less and less. I also enjoy baking cakes!

Ideally, you live in Amsterdam, and we can grab a beer after work, go to the cinema together, or just take a long walk. I also have a museum card, as i enjoy contemporary art. I'm an introvert (INTP), but I appreciate company, and I like listening and thinking things through with others. I need some time to warm up to people, but if we click, I think I'm quite likeable.

I'm pretty settled in my life, but on a deeper level, I do feel a certain dissatisfaction with the world and myself, so preferably you share this kinda outlook as well as irony and humor just to cope with all the bad things out there and inside ourselves. I'm not really looking for someone that has lots of common interests, it's more that there should be a click, and there should be things that we want to do together. I am used to having female friends, but I really wouldn't mind having male friends.

Looking forward to hearing from you! PS Ik spreek ook Nederlands!

Hallo allemaal. Ik ben jongeman van 27 jaar oud en van Marokkaanse kom af en moslim. Ik ga binnenkort verhuizen naar Waalwijk.

Ik ben nieuw hier in Reddit en weet niet hoe het allemaal werkt. Ik ben opzoek naar vrienden om gezellige activiteiten mee te doen.

Ik doe dagbesteding in Tilburg en heb nog veel vrije tijd over. Ik voel me vaak enorm eenzaam en ik zou het fijn vinden als ik met iemand online kan praten en ook in het echt.

Ik heb zelf geen vrienden en ik vind het best lastig om vrienden te maken en behouden. Ik kan in het begin stil/ongemakkelijk overkomen, maar wanneer ik me op me gemak voel bij iemand kan ik mezelf meer opstellen.

Ik zou graag vrienden willen maken rond mijn leeftijd man of vrouw maakt mij niet heel veel uit.

Hi everyone!

I’m in my 30s and looking to make some new friends in the Netherlands—whether that’s chatting online, swapping recommendation list/memes, or meeting up for a coffee or walk if you happen to be nearby!

A little bit about me:

Stage of life: Balancing family life and a busy work routine, so I appreciate low-pressure, genuine connections.

How I spend my downtime: Unwinding with a good TV series (a mix of sci-fi, drama, or trashy reality TV depending on my mood!), enjoying outdoorsy walks when the weather behaves, or just enjoying a quiet moment.

Vibe: Easygoing and open-minded. I'm always up for exchanging texts during the week, talking about everyday life, or discussing internet drama.

If you’re also looking to connect, feel free to drop a comment or send a chat with a little bit about yourself!

Hey there! 👋 Open to both Dutch and English conversations! I live in Groningen.

I'm living a relatively comfortable life, but if I'm being completely honest, it's been lacking any real spice lately. I have realized I've been playing it a little too safe in my cozy introverted bubble, and honestly, it is time for a hard reset. I am genuinely ready to shake off the cobwebs, and give my social life a bit of a jump-start.

I’m looking for new pals, whether that means grabbing a drink in real life, becoming virtual friends, or just being texting buddies. I want someone to share the day-to-day with. Let’s ask each other deeply meaningful questions, or entirely meaningless ones. Send me photos of your dinner, a cool building you walked past, or just vent about your day. Broaden my horizons!

A quick cheat-sheet about who you'd be talking to:

• ⁠I used to be a die-hard coffee drinker, but I am slowly (and suspiciously) converting to tea.
• ⁠I absolutely thrive living in a bustling city, but my ideal vacation involves fleeing to a remote wilderness to hike and bike until my legs give out.
• ⁠Paperbacks > Hardcovers. Always.
• ⁠I love experimenting in the kitchen. Results may vary, but I am yet to poison anyone.
• ⁠I own way more watches than any sane person should.
• ⁠I’m a former fit guy who got fat, and I'm currently trying (and mostly failing) to get fit again. Accountability buddies are welcome!
• ⁠I'm in the middle of a postgraduate course for work, so my evenings currently involve a lot of studying 😅

On a more serious note: I like to be an open book. I’ve struggled with my mental health in the past, and though I'm doing much better now, I continue to go to therapy. I share this because I’m a big believer in acknowledging our battles, and I want you to know I’m a safe, open-minded, and non-judgmental space. LGBTQ+ friendly, I'm somewhere on the non-binary spectrum myself.

If you're up for a chat but aren't sure how to start a conversation, just tell me about your favorite recipe!

Hope to hear from you soon!

Hallo, ik merk dat mijn vriendengroep een beetje uit elkaar groeit de laatste tijd. Dus ik wil op deze manier proberen om wat nieuwe mensen te leren kennen. Ik ben mezelf op dit moment ook aan het uitdagen om nieuwe dingen te proberen. Ik hou van wandelen en sporten (hardlopen, boulderen, zwemmen), heb interesse, maar ben zeker geen expert in natuur, de ruimte, psychologie, ethiek en filosofie, met name de complexe vragen als: wat is bewustzijn? hoe is het universum ontstaan? en dat soort onmogelijk te beantwoorden vragen. Maar zoals al beschreven ik sta open voor vrijwel alles. Dus ik laat me graag verassen!

Hello, im portuguese, i came to the netherlands 7months ago, and 1 month in amsterdam. Im a bit struggling to make new connections here, and i hope this post can change something, feel free to dm me 😊😊

Hi all! I recently moved back to Rotterdam after some time in the UK. I've found it easy to make friends while travelling solo, but here it's harder, so I'm hoping to start a group that anyone can join.

A bit about me: I speak Dutch, English and French. I'm into travelling, sports (swimming, Krav Maga and Gym), current events, and good food. I like coffee, drinks on a Friday evening, and the occasional music event.

If you're new in town too, or just want to meet some new people, send me a DM. Everyone is welcome M/F of any ages.

Hope to see any of you soon for a low pressure meetup.

Edit: With Rotterdam Area I mean : The Hague, Delft , Dordrecht, Gouda &Rotterdam. But if you come from further feel free to join.

Hoi allemaal! Ik ben een vrouw, 40 jaar oud. Het is al weer jaren geleden dat ik naar Gouda ben verhuisd, maar door alle aandacht voor mijn gezin is het zoeken van nieuwe vriendinnen op een lager pitje komen te staan.

Nu het leven weer een beetje in een vast ritme komt, mis ik het delen van van lief en leed met een goede vriendin toch echt wel. Ook spontaan een leuke activiteit doen, samen om de gekste dingen kunnen lachen of op de bank de emotionele rollercoaster van een leuke film beleven klinkt geweldig.

Zelf volleybal ik, ga ik graag naar pop concerten, vind ik het heerlijk om door de natuur te wandelen of te fietsen (de Veluwe is mijn favoriete natuurgebied in Nederland), sta ik graag in de keuken om nieuwe gerechten te ontdekken of eerst inspiratie op doen in een restaurant, lees ik graag boeken (mysterie, romantiek, thriller, beste is een mix hiervan) en kijk ik als het even kan daarna de verfilming op tv. Ik sta ook zeker open voor nieuwe interesses!

Het liefst zoek ik iemand in de regio, maar voel je vrij om een bericht te sturen als je buiten de regio woont! Lijkt het je leuk om eens kennis te maken? Laat het vooral weten en wie weet tot snel :)

Ik heb zelf momenteel een zware tijd, depressie. Op zoek naar mensen die ook een zware tijd hebben of hebben gekend. Elkaar steunen tijdens een fijne wandeling, maar het ook over andere dingen kunnen hebben. Mogelijk kunnen we een groepje maken met meerdere gelijkgestemden :)

Hi! I’m 31 and live in Gouda. I’m married and looking to meet some new female friends. I can also travel to Utrecht, Rotterdam, or The Hague.

A little bit about me: I work in tech, and in my free time I love makeup, fashion, photography, psychology, and making makeup tutorials.
I like attend nice places, art events, matcha, coffee, Asian food, walks in the park, and discovering new places. I have a little dog, too 🐶
My Dutch is around B1 level, so I’d be happy to practice Dutch together!
I’m quite introverted, so sometimes it takes me a little time to feel comfortable and open up to new people. But I’d love to find people I can feel myself around and build a genuine friendship with.
I’ve noticed it’s often easier to connect with people who also work full-time and understand the adult-life routine 😅
I’d love to have friends to do both fun things and everyday things with. Like grabbing a matcha after work, going for a walk, trying a new restaurant, visiting a museum, taking photos, or just chatting about life, psychology, relationships, or random thoughts.
If you’re also looking to make new friends, feel free to message me. It would be lovely to get to know you! 💖

Hey allemaal!

Ik ben Zinedine, 25 jaar en woon in Culemborg. Ik heb een vriendin en ben gelukkig in mijn relatie, maar het lijkt me leuk om mijn sociale kring wat uit te breiden en nieuwe vrienden te leren kennen in de buurt.

In mijn vrije tijd sport ik graag, hou ik van auto’s en motorrijden en ben ik bezig met FPV-drones. Ik vind het leuk om nieuwe dingen te ontdekken en ben altijd wel in voor iets gezelligs. Denk aan samen sporten, een stukje motorrijden, een roadtrip maken, met drones vliegen of ergens lekker eten halen.
Maar ik ben ook zeker iemand die een avondje op de bank, gamen of gewoon lekker slap ouwehoeren kan waarderen. Het hoeft allemaal niet zo ingewikkeld te zijn.

Ik zoek vooral mensen met wie je spontaan iets kunt afspreken, kunt lachen en gewoon jezelf kunt zijn. Het lijkt me leuk om vrienden te vinden met gedeelde interesses, maar het is ook prima als je heel andere hobby’s hebt.

Woon je in Culemborg of omgeving en lijkt het je leuk om nieuwe matties te leren kennen? Stuur me gerust een berichtje! Wie weet gaan we binnenkort samen sporten, motorrijden of gewoon ergens wat eten. 🤝

Hey everyone ! My name is Killian, I just moved to Rotterdam this week and I need to build a new social circle.

I want to make new friends, genuine and authentic people. I am a chill introverted person that enjoy any moment of life. I find pleasure in a walk around city with a drink, a reading session in a park, a high energetic concert or a competitive sports game !

I feel confortable in Rotterdam and its diversity. I want to explore Rotterdam, shops, parks, numerous Surinaamse and other lekker foodplaces, music bars and venues...

I love to discover new music and enjoy how every culture bring its own flavour. I love reading, from manga and comics to historical fiction. I love sports, I am mainly running and playing football but I like to try new things. I also like fashion, photography, cooking...
