Philip V.

19 y/o

Surfing

Catch me chasing waves whenever the British weather actually allows it, useless until I've had my morning coffee. Not after anything heavy - just good vibes and seeing where it goes.

Elijah A.

50 y/o

Running

I'm comfortable with who I am and what I want, no games, no drama. Just looking to enjoy good company and see where things go naturally.

Benjamin C.

70 y/o

Art

Retired college professor (philosophy department) and yes I know how that sounds. I'm actually pretty easy to be around and just looking for someone who likes a real conversation.

Kamal K.

27 y/o

Movies

I'm a physical therapist assistant and I work with post-surgical patients. Off the clock I like slow mornings, long runs, and trying to finish the book I've been reading for three months.

Kwame K.

32 y/o

Video Games

Player 2 wanted, co-op only, no toxic lobbies. Down for spontaneous trips, lazy Sundays, and finding someone who gets my humor. Swipe right if you can handle losing at Mario Kart.

Kingsley A.

47 y/o

Cooking

I cook like it's a love language, because it is. Done with games, looking for the person I share Sunday dinners with for the long haul.

Luke C.

47 y/o

Museums

I've learned that the good stuff in life requires intention and presence. Looking for someone ready to build something real, not just pass the time.

Gideon U.

33 y/o

Wellness

Physical education coach and after-school rec coordinator. I bring the same energy to trivia night that I bring to everything else, which is a lot. Looking for someone who can keep up or at least find it endearing.

Kevin P.

45 y/o

Surfing

Retired firefighter who still can't sit still. I'm usually fixing something around the house or smoking brisket on weekends. Looking for someone who doesn't mind getting her hands dirty every once in a while.

Mohammed K.

18 y/o

Board Games

Software developer who works remotely and is very intentional about leaving the house. I do CrossFit, go to farmers markets, and play in a casual chess club on Wednesday nights.

Andrew P.

43 y/o

Photography

There's nothing I love more than capturing light and real moments, whether behind the lens or living them. Looking for someone who appreciates depth and authenticity.

Simon Q.

43 y/o

Yoga

I'm a commercial photographer, mostly corporate stuff, some real estate. I shoot for fun on weekends too, usually wherever there's interesting light. Looking for someone who appreciates the small stuff.

Farid K.

48 y/o

Thrifting

I work in cybersecurity for a bank, fully remote, which means I'm home a lot. Looking for someone to actually eat with me instead of cooking for one.

Israel D.

65 y/o

Literature

I do the crossword every morning with my coffee. Looking for someone who has their own little rituals they love and won't try to change mine.

Adrian R.

30 y/o

Traveling

I'm a police officer and I know that can sound intimidating, but I'm genuinely pretty laid back off duty. I like hiking, backyard fire pits, and making my own hot sauce.

Seung W.

25 y/o

Meditation

Just a plumber who somehow still hasn't fixed the dripping tap in his own bathroom. Looking for someone who finds that more funny than annoying.

Toby B.

19 y/o

Traveling

Vehicle technician by trade, road-tripper at heart. I'd rather blow my paycheck on plane tickets and getting lost in new places than nights out.

James L.

23 y/o

Art

Marketing manager at a mid-size company, which means a lot of meetings I could've been emails. Nights and weekends are for pickleball, home brewing, and genuinely trying to cook more.

Seth K.

Museums

I'm at a point where I can truly appreciate the moment. Looking for someone I can have real conversations with and enjoy life alongside.

William P.

25 y/o

Road Trips

Radiographer who's good at keeping a straight face and rubbish at keeping plants alive. I spend my weekends running 5Ks and visiting my family more than I probably admit.

Arjun C.

Movies

I worked in accounting for most of my career and now I do the books for a small charity on a volunteer basis. Looking for someone easy-going who knows what they want.
