So, I (M 27) tried dating apps. They tried me back. We both decided it’s not working.

I like a simple life with work, routine, and conversations that go beyond “what are you doing?” I already have female friends, so I really value platonic connections. I'm just looking to explore another one naturally, without labels or pressure.

I believe good connections start with:

  • Easy conversations
  • Random thoughts at odd hours
  • Laughing over things that aren’t even funny

If you enjoy talking more than texting for validation, prefer honesty over hype, and think friendships can be refreshing—even online—this could be worth a DM.

Worst case: a decent conversation. Best case: Reddit shows it’s better than dating apps.
