You have to get your subscribers from somewhere! The BIGGEST OnlyFans creators had a social following before starting OnlyFans. But did you know that MOST successful creators get started with no significant social media following at all?

They simply create their OnlyFans account and then try to promote it.

Social media platforms are still the most effective place to promote your account. Over 99% of OnlyFans creators get their first 1000 subscribers via social media.

👾 REDDIT

With over 430+ million monthly users, Reddit has millions of men and women who can become subscribers to your OnlyFans.

Reddit’s members are mostly men. Most OnlyFans creators (mostly women) are Reddit users and it’s not the first place that pops into their mind for promotion, they usually start promotion on Instagram or TikTok.

Sound like you? Then this guide is written with exactly you in mind. If you’re not a regular Reddit user, there’s some things you’ll need to know to maximize your success and avoid getting banned.

Let’s get into it!

First: a Recap on Reddit

What is Reddit?

Reddit is a social media platform that many adult content creators overlook. You can post images, video or text as well as comment on others posts, and vote on which posts to push up or down in the feed.

But Reddit isn’t one big gigantic community…

What is a Subreddit?

Reddit is a collection of several communities known a Subreddits. Essentially, every post on the site belongs to one of the Subreddits.

Every Subreddit focuses on a particular niche, like hip-hop music, thai cooking, adult content, etc. For OnlyFans creator, there’s thousands of Subreddits just for your focused niche.

You recognise a subreddit by its prefix. r/ marks a subreddit (for example, r/CelebritySideboob). User accounts are prefixed with u/ (for example, u/social-rise).

Each subreddit has its own members and its own set of rules. These are listed in the “About” section on the right of the Subreddit page. Read them before you post to avoid getting banned!

Rules are enforced by a group of moderators (mods) of a subreddit. If you accidentally (or intentionally) break the rules, the best you can do is read them again the rules, apologise to the mods, and ask for another chance. Don’t argue with the mods, you’ll get nowhere!

Some mods moderate multiple Subreddits, so if you get banned from one… you can get banned from many all at once.

If you want… you can even create your own Subreddit. Name it the same as your Reddit username. It’s another way of building a following (which you will move to OnlyFans later).

What is Karma?

Within Subreddits, members vote on the posts, or comments they like which brings them up or down in the feed. The post with the highest number of upvotes ranks at the top of that Subreddit.

The more upvotes you get, the higher your post will rank and the more chance you have to reach a larger audience. Without any upvotes, your posts will get lost in an abyss of thousands of new posts.

Reddit karma is the total score of your upvotes on the enitre platform – across all Subreddits. Each upvote increases your karma, each downvote decreases it. With a high enough karma score, you get access to exclusive communities and abilities on the platform.

Why Reddit is Best for Promoting OnlyFans

There’s no doubt that Reddits is the best place to promote your OnlyFans because:

• ✅ It’s Anonymous – for those that want to be
• ✅ You Can Post NSFW Content – most social media platforms (like Instagram and TikTok) do not allow you to post adult content. That makes it hard to promote your OnlyFans on these platforms. Reddit has no restrictions on posting adult content in the relevant subreddits. 

• ✅ High Visibility – your post always lands at the top of the “New” feed. If members like your content, their upvotes will push it to the top, increasing your exposure to potential subscribers
• ✅ No Following Needed – it’s about the content but your status
• ✅ Niche Community – people are in the Subreddit looking for exactly what you are posting
• ✅ Easy to Promote – simply include links to your OnlyFans account in your post without fear of being banned

The 7 Steps to Promote on Reddit

Follow these 7 steps below to properly promote your OnlyFans on Reddit:

Step #1: Setup Your Reddit Profile

Go to Reddit and create your account. You’ll probably be posting adult content, so set your Reddit profile to Not Safe For Work (NSFW) after logging in. That will keep you from being banned and give you access to the related Subreddits.

Set your username and display name. Try to have the exact same name as your OnlyFans account – it will be easier for people to find you.

Write a descriptive bio, you can just copy/paste the one you already have on your OnlyFans account. But it should be cheeky, funny, exciting, maybe even tease the viewers. Add a link to your OnlyFans account and some text to tell people why they should. Take some time with this. You want to “entice” them and stand out from the crowd.

Upload a teasing display and cover photo. Prefer to work anonymously? Choose a picture of your body that isn’t too naked but is erotic enough to excited anyone that views it.

Steps #2: Find 10+ NSFW Subreddits

There are thousands of NSFW Subreddits, but you just need a hand full of the best Subreddits to get started. Go and join 10 of them.

PRO TIP: start with Subreddits that have “OnlyFans” in their title. They have many content creators promoting themselves in there… but the members also have very high intent. Many of them are viewing the Subreddit with the intention of subscribing to someone’s OnlyFans account.

Step #3: Get Verified

Not all Subreddits require OnlyFans Verification, but you should do it anyway. The Reddit verification confirms that you are the person in the videos and photos you post. Plus a verification badge makes you look more legitimate and builds trust.

There isn’t a standard verification process because each Subreddit has their own procedures. Most of the time you just have to send a picture to them holding a piece of paper with your Reddit username, the date, and the Subreddit name.

Step #4: Post Promotional Content

Read the guidelines of each Subreddit for before posting.

Upload stimulating content and invite the viewers to see the full content or get in touch with you on your OnlyFans. Remember that you are using Reddit for promotion. Don’t upload full-length videos or give away your best content.

Most OnlyFans creators use Redgifs for posting videos and gifs and just upload images directly.

Don’t forget the hashtags! Reddit users search for content using hashtags. Öook for trending or relevant hashtags (to your niche) and include them in the description of your post. Add at 10+ hashtags to every post.

Step #5: Pin Your Posts

Your pinned posts are the first thing a visitor sees on your profile. You can pin up to 5 posts on your profile. Here are some pinned posts ideas to increase the odds of subscribing:

• Your OnlyFans Account Link: make a teasing GIF or upload an image of yourself and tell the users to go to your OnlyFans profile to get more. Add a description of what the users will get when they subscribe to you. 
• Special Discount Offers: share any promotions or discounts you’re offering on your OnlyFans account. 
• Customer Reviews: add reviews from existing OnlyFans subscribers. It’s best if you can take a screenshot of your DMs – that way they know you didn’t just make it up. Don’t have any reviews? Message subscribers asking for one and offer a discount in return.
• Links to Your Other Social Media Accounts: pin a post that contains links to all your social media accounts. The more they see you around (on different social media) the better the odds they will subscribe to your eventually.

Step #6: Reply to DMs & Comments

Not everyone who sees your content will buy it. And most subscribers will need to multiple exposures to your content before subscribing. Your DMs will be flooded with messages, comments, offers, pictures, and random “hello”s.

Step #7: Stay Consistent

Consistency is hugely important, so you must follow a strict uploadingschedule.

Continue to post in as many subreddits as you can. You can post the same content in multiple Subreddits. But only do this once you’ve tested what works.

Remember: you will not gain subscribers in one day. Consistency and patience are needed! Reddit may seem competitive, but once you find your niche and the right Subreddit… growth will come very fast.

8 Promotion Ideas & Tips

You want to start posting and growing your OnlyFans right away – you’re excited! Well, just don’t get discouraged if your posts don’t go viral on the first day. It takes time to build up karma, a following and to find the right Subreddits for your content.

#1 Post Different Types of Content

You won’t know what works until you try. You can post images, videos, gifs, different poses, different captions etc. Try out different things and record what works best… then do more of that!

#2 Never Promote in the Title (or Comments)

Unless the subreddit says that they allow it. If they don’t – you’ll get banned instantly.

#3 “Hook” Them with Your Title

Ask engaging questions or invoke the fantasy or the viewer. You want to “hook” the viewer to want to know more. Ideally, to NEED to know more. The art of writing titles like this is called copywriting.

#4 Post at the Best Time

Use a tool like LaterForReddit to find the best time to post.

#5 Read the Rules

Sorry to say it again! Find them in the sidebar or sometimes the rules are added as a pinned post. Only submit relevant content to relevant subreddits.

#6 Automate the Process

You’re an OnlyFans creator… you don’t want to spend all of your time on Reddit. Automate and scale your Reddit strategy instead of doing everything manually yourself.

How to Promote via Reddit DMs

Reddit is full of potential subscribers… but many messages will be from time wasters. Your DMs will fill up with pictures, offers, and compliments.

Responding to every comment will be a waste of time. But ignoring all comments means you will be losing out on getting thousands of followers and subscribers.

Pick Some Messages to Respond to!

People love getting a response and it will make you stand out from other creators who mostly ignore their DMs.

Show Your Personality!

Thank people for compliments and always respond to people looking to buy – ignore the rest. Don’t feel need to chat with people more than a quick response. Time is money! If they want to talk more, let them know you’re active on OnlyFans and that you only talk to fans there.

Automated DMs

Reddit scheduling tools like Postpone or Social Rise let you automatically respond to comment and messages. Both are allowed and by Reddit and don’t come with any risk of being banned.

You can create one autoresponder for DMs, and another one for comments.

Most girls just say that they “can’t talk here” and that the user should message them on OnlyFans. Users see through this and know it’s just a way to get them to subscribe to you. Try to be more subtle.

Instead, send them an exclusive private image, or send them a discount code because you appreciated their comment. Make the message seem like it was just for them – not an automated reply.

Use personalization variables in your message. They make your message way more convincing to the receiving user.

For example: instead of your message starting with “Heyyy mate”. It could include the user’s username “Heyy u/DantheMan…”

This helps you build a loyal following that will upvote your posts and help you gain visibility. They are also more likely to check out your OnlyFans.

If you really don’t want to talk, disable your messages instead of ignoring them. You can disable both, chat and direct messages. Write in your bio on your profile that you will respond to messages on your OnlyFans. It’s an incentive for people to subscribe to you.

How to Not Get BANNED

Reddit is not like other social platforms where you just sign-up and start posting content – that will get you banned.

The Basics

You have to do a few things before you can start posting content in most NSFW Subreddits:

1. After signing up: add a profile picture and add a bio that includes a link to your OnlyFans
2. Start following lots of NSFW Subreddits: usually a period of time has to pass before you can post in most communities- better to get this wait time started asap!
3. Read the rules: every Subreddit has its own rules which you MUST follow.
4. Verify yourself in all the Subreddits: getting verified with OnlyFans is easy and very worth it. In most cases all you have to do is show the mods a picture of yourself holding a piece of paper with your Reddit username on it.
5. Mods will verify you: and you’ll get a “verified” badge on your account for that Subreddit
6. Post content: now you can easily post content on those Subreddits with less fear of being banned

Self- Promotion vs Active Participation

The most important thing to grasp is the distinction between self-promotion and active participation. All Reddit wants is for you to actively engage in the community instead of simple advertising something.

Here’s how to actively participate:

1. Engage in Discussions: contributions to existing discussions and even start your own. Answer questions, upvote comments, give advice and share your experience to establish yourself as a reliable member of the community.

2. Share Relevant Content: create content, tools or resources that bring value to the community. Share good posts you read, YouTube tutorials, or tools you’ve found that could help others.

3. Foster Relationships: engage with other Reddit users regularly and show interest in their content. This helps build relationships and establishes your presence in the community.

Active participation on Reddit means contributing to the community instead of solely focusing on self-promotion.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are There Promotion Services That Can Promote My OnlyFans for Me?

Yes! Most successful OnlyFans creators do not grow their subscriber base by themselves – they get help! It’s a lot of work creating content and promoting.

OnlyFans is the most popular and well-known adult creator platform – but it’s not always the best. Many creators want features that OnlyFans doesn’t offer, and that an alternative does.

Maybe you just want to post on a platform that isn’t associated with pornography? Or Maybe you want to be more discreet about your content? And posting on a lesser know platform will let you be more anonymous?

Whatever the reason, there are plenty of high quality subscription-based platforms for creators to monetize any audience with any type of content – nsfw or not. Many of these sprung up after OnlyFans announced they’d be banning sexual content in 2021. Creator’s go scared that they’d lose their income and moved to new platforms (a few of them are listed below).

How to Choose an OnlyFans Alternative

You don’t necessarily just want to jump on the next platform for one specific reason. Consider the follow factors before choosing an OnlyFans alternative:

• 🚫 Content Restrictions – is your content allowed on the platform? This is the first question you should ask if you make nsfw content
• % Commission Structure – how much does the platform take out of your earnings? The standard is the list above is 20%, but that doesn’t mean that is fair. Consider other platforms that charge less and leave you with more money in your pocket.
• 🏟️ Size of Fanbase – how many people know about and already use the platform? You don’t want to have to educate potential subscribers on how to use it and what is does – subscribing to you should be frictionless!
• 💳 Payment Options – how can your fans pay you? The more payment methods available the higher the conversion rate. Do they take crypto, credit cards, PayPal? And consider how you want to be paid. Do they payout your earnings in a way you want to receive them?
• 📞 Community & Support – does the platform help you succeed? Do they respond swiftly to your queries and problems? Is there a thriving community of creators trying to help each other grow by sharing tips and advice?
• 🧰 Platform Features – can you selL PPV on the platform? Send DMs? Schedule content? Look into whether the platform does what you need it to do. There are always new ways of making money from your fanbase being developed – stay up to date!
• 👨🏾‍💻 User Experience – is the design on the platform attractive and easy-to-use? You want your fans to be on there all the time, right? Well, it will help if it looks good and doesn’t require a whole bunch of mental effort to navigate.

To Sum It Up

OnlyFans is clearly the dominant adult creator platform. But the alternative options could be a great way to generate additional income from your existing revenues OR instead of OnlyFans.

Adult-oriented content creators may like to use a platform built exclusively for that type – OnlyFans was not made specifically for that purpose. And with the potential that OnlyFans might suddenly decide to ban adult content, it’s worth having a backup plan to diversify your income should that happen.

There’s no “best” alternative to OnlyFans. Instead there’s lots of viable OnlyFans alternatives for adult creators to choose from. Most follow the same structure, allowing monthly subscriptions and allowing creators to post content explicit adult content and interact/take payment from fans.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best OnlyFans alternatives for users (not creators)?

This is very individual and depends on the type of content a user wants to see. If you have a specific interest (like feet), then there are sites that cater to that content specifically (like FeetFinder).

Otherwise, the alternative platform you use will depend mainly on what platform the creator is using – fans follow creators, not platforms. And all these sites essentially do the same thing!

ou must have read countless blogs about successful relationships. But never having experienced it first-hand yourself, it becomes difficult to believe their credibility. So, where are these people who have supposed successful relationships? How can you find one for yourself?

Well, there is no math or science behind it. Most relationships that stand the test of time are those that are made of soulmates. Yup, soulmates are real. They are not some urban legend. And the chances are that you have already met yours but have not recognised them yet. So, if you want to avoid missing out on the opportunity of having the perfect relationship, here are ten signs that would help tell you if you have already met your soulmate. But first, let us know exactly what a soulmate is.

Who is a Soulmate?

A soulmate is someone with whom you have a deep connection. You relate to each other on an emotional level. It is someone who thinks like you and feels things the same way you do. Some people believe that soulmates are your inner twin. They are the lost part of your soul. And that is why when you find them, you feel whole. A soulmate is your other half.

As sweet as this belief may sound, it is anything but true. In fact, this belief is drawn from Plato’s dialogue, The Symposium, in which he says that Zeus devised a plan to split humans into halves, post their battle with the Gods. Another theory is that soulmates are people whom you have spent your other lives with as a friend, colleague, sibling, lover, parent or child. You have been with them in your previous lives, and that is the reason that you are looking for them in this life, too. And that is also why you feel complete when you are with them. While some people are born with their soulmates around them right from the beginning, some have to struggle a tad bit to find their other half.

All this seems wildly interesting, but unfortunately, it is untrue!

But you see, soulmates make such a perfect pair that it seems like they share a soul. Having a soulmate may not necessarily mean that you would love them or they would love you back. However, the deep understanding between the two of you would definitely give rise to love.

These days, the definition of a soulmate is different to every individual. Some people believe that a soulmate is your platonic partner whom you are romantically involved and can share intimacy with. The others feel that a soulmate could be anybody and not necessarily a spouse or a lover.

In fact, here are some fun facts about soulmates that you would love to know.

Some fun facts about soulmates that you should know

• A soulmate could be anyone and not necessarily a partner

You could find your soulmate in a friend, parent, sibling or a lover. It could even be your furry pet. So, if you think you have got a special connection with someone that you just cannot explain, maybe they are your soulmate.

• Things are not always magical with your soulmate

It is not that you would never fight or argue when you are with your soulmate. But you would be able to look beyond the situation into your future because that is what would matter the most to you.

• Soulmates think alike

Stating the obvious, soulmates think alike. They share similar interests, perhaps even hobbies and may also have the same profession.

• Your soulmate may not stay with you

Like all good things come to an end, your soulmate may or may not stick around you forever. Your situation largely influences your relationship with your soulmate.

Signs You Have Met Your Soulmate

1. The spaces between their fingers are right where yours fit perfectly

For those who got the reference, you are my man! We all love the Owl City, but they deserve to be showered with some extra love for writing a lyric that perfectly describes a soulmate relationship. Apart from the literal meaning, this means that your soulmate completes you. Remember Marshall and Lily’s olive theory? Similar to that. For those who don’t know, the olive theory is where you like something that your partner does not like. So, it balances out, which makes you the perfect couple because you fill in for each other. Kind of like a jigsaw puzzle. Although you are two flawed individuals, your flaws may get overlooked because you fill in for each other wherever you lack. And that makes for a strong foundation for any successful relationship.

2. You run into each other time and again

You go to the mall, and you run into them. Sailing in a boat? They are your captain. Going to Goa? They are your hotel manager. That is a little exaggerated, but you get the point, don’t you? Soulmates tend to find each other. In fact, the chances are that you have already met your soulmate once by the time you are an adult. But you failed to recognise them. No stress! You will find each other again because that is your universal purpose. Because you guys are two opposing sides of a magnet. It is not a coincidence. Coincidences don’t happen as commonly as that. Therefore, always be on the lookout. You do not want to have to miss out on your soulmate, do you?

Note: If you meet a person every day on your way to work or while coming back home, it is possible that they have a routine. It is not because they are your soulmate. So, don’t make that mistake.

3. There is no judgement when there are differences

You can like dogs while them liking cats and yet come to a mutual conclusion of having both those pets in the same house. Your soulmate knows better than to judge you, and whether you think it is possible or not, you would be the same with them. You would have entirely different chemistry with them, which is what would make you so perfect for each other. They would understand even if you say that when people cheat, it is both the individual’s fault. And unless they are Rakhi Sawant, they would not be declaring your views in the newspapers. Besides, they would listen to you and also correct you if you are wrong. All that without any judgements!

4. Threats are not the foundation of your relationship

You would neither be hearing nor throwing any threats about breaking up with each other or divorcing each other after a major fight. Because you know better than that. Sure, when it is too much to take, one of you may step outside the house to cool down or to get your mind off of things. But it would never happen that you build the foundation of your relationship by “if you don’t do it… I would leave you.” You know that is not how relationships work and that you can’t have a relationship that is more fearing than loving.

And no matter how big a fight it is, you know that you would come back to sleep next to each other in the same bed.

5. Your possessiveness never gets the better of you

Since you are both like two pieces of a magnet, you are sure that they are not going anywhere. So, you don’t feel the need to be jealous or insecure. You see, insecurity stems out from not having enough trust on the other person and their conscience. People are possessive only when they know that their partner is not sane enough to differentiate between the good and the bad. And that is why they feel the need to constantly check on their partner or protect them from other people.

Soulmates are different. They know you well enough to know that you would not do any wrong to them. They are sure of your love and theirs. So, possessiveness is nothing but a foreign feeling for them.

6. Panic attacks and anxiety are easier to control in their company

One of the best things that happen when you meet your soulmate is this. You learn to control your impulses. Now, some people would say that panic attacks are not controllable. False! You could not be more wrong. Panic attacks are an advanced stage of depression, which is something that usually happens when your mind does not have enough emotional strength.

Soulmates complete you. This means that they not only fill you with love but also help you be stronger, mentally and emotionally. And that is how the episodes of panic attacks reduce. Why else do you think some people feel much healthier and less depressed when they are in a loving relationship?

7. You can share your deepest secrets with them and not be afraid

Because you are sure that they would not judge you. You can tell them about how you peed in the bed when you were 18 and did not utter a word to anyone about it because you were too embarrassed. Then about that time when you tried to fit into a dress that was not your size and ended up ripping it. Also, about that time when you actually felt like you were in a film because you slipped on a banana peel and everybody laughed at you. You can expect your soulmate to listen to you without any judgement. And that is what would make you feel safe around them!

8. Your values and interests are similar to those of theirs

You were raised on the same principles. Both of you believe in charity more than a religious donation. Also, you are both against breaking the traffic rules. You are conveniently uncorrupt, and you both agree that global warming is a real phenomenon. (Trump, I tell you!) Besides, you have strong views about everything, and you are both enthusiastic about the same things that others may not be quite excited about such as, going to a play or playing crossword. Soulmates also agree on one particular film or TV show for the night. Family Guy marathon? All right! Giggity giggity goo!!

9. They notice the same things as you when you are together

So, you are eating at a restaurant, and you see the waiter holding a food tray in his hand that contains some delicious-looking food. You notice that and just when you are about to look at your partner, you see that they are already looking back at you. Then you exchange an amusing look and just by looking into each other’s eye, you know that you have to order the same thing for your table, too. That is not creepy. It shows what kind of a strong connection the both of you share.

Your soulmate does not need your words to understand you. They know you are sad by the way you say ‘Hi’ and they know you need to be fed the moment they see you. No matter what, soulmates are right there for you.

10. Although you have just met them, you don’t feel the need to fill the gaps for them

Maybe you are 30 and have just found your soulmate; you still won’t feel the need to tell them everything that has happened to you in all these years. Of course, your soulmate would not be a mind-reader. But they would guess a lot many things about you without you ever telling them. What this simply means is that no matter when you meet your soulmate, there is no way you would ever feel like you have just met them. Even in the newness, you would feel a certain familiarity. It would feel like you have known them forever. And that is when all the cheesy, nonsensical Bollywood romance would make sense to you. Finally!!

How did you know you had met your soulmate? Write it down in the comments section below for your fellow readers!

If you think you have lost your faith in love and people, you might want to think again. Maybe this is the best situation. Some people meet their soulmates when they least expect it. You might have given up, but the universe has not. You are fortunate!

When I decided to write this article, I thought of all the happy relationships that I have come across. And I realised that I know at least one person who has met their soulmate in these places. So I thought why not incorporate real stories in this blog, so you know that it is possible? And that is what you are about to read. Let this blog be a beacon of hope that someday you will meet the old half of you.

Leggo!!

1. A Serene Book Cafe

My friend once asked me to set him up with one of my girl-friends because he wanted to be with someone intelligent. But I don’t do that. Nah! I don’t like to be involved in this kind of things. So I advised him to go to an unpopular book cafe in our city to meet someone. An unpopular one because that is where true nerds flock. Anybody can pretend to be a bibliophile while reading Durjoy Dutta at Starbucks. But only those that care about reading go to a place where they won’t be on display.

And it happened just as I had expected. He was going through the ‘Fiction’ section of the book cafe when he came across a girl looking confused. My friend seized the moment and asked her about it. It turned out that she was holding Lord of the Rings in her hand, which is his favourite book series. As fate would have it, he impressed her with his knowledge on the subject and helped her choose the right book.

What’s more? One thing led to another, and they are now in a decent relationship. I would not say that it is a perfect relationship. But they have been quite happy with each other for two years.

Perhaps your soulmate is waiting for you at your nearest book cafe, too. Don’t make them wait any further.

2. One of These Amazing Silent Discos

One of my cousins, Ananya, met Shreyansh while they were studying in London in different colleges. Their fates had brought them to the same club and single! Shreyansh’s friend approached Ananya for him because he is a textbook introvert. And something special happened that night. They didn’t dance even though that was what they went to do there. Instead, they rented a booth inside the club and connected over their favourite music. And they ended up spending the night connecting at some random park.

I can’t say they are still together because not all relationships have to have a ‘happily ever after.’ But they did have a long relationship of 6 years. Shreyansh had to come back to India while Ananya had planned to settle there, so they decided to end it mutually. All that remains are pleasant memories.

Let me clear a misconception that people have about soulmates. Many people think soulmates are meant to last forever. But it does not always have to be that way. You can meet your soulmate and part ways from them after spending as few as six months with them. And you can still love them for life because you vibe on a different level.

3. A Groovy Salsa Party

I seldom think about this incident that happened to me a few years back at a salsa party. I was a young bird among a flock of gorgeous cranes. This was a celebrity party, which was flooding with the famous Bollywood actors that I had known all my life. So naturally, no one asked me to dance because a) I can’t dance well and b) I did not have the same model looks as the other girls in the party.

So I was sitting at the bar minding my own business, watching people dance and have fun when a man with salt n pepper hair approached me. He asked me to accompany him for a dance. I wasn’t sure, so I politely refused, making my inability to dance an excuse. But he was adamant and quite persuasive. So I agreed for one dance. And I am so glad that I did because I had the best time. As the song ended, I began to leave when he caught my hand and asked me for another dance. I agreed. We laughed, shared, and clicked several times throughout the dance.

Four songs later, I decided that this was it for me. And so I left. He accompanied me to the parking lot and asked me for my BBpin (yeh un dino ki baat hain). But I refused and decided to keep things mysterious.

The connection that we shared during those four dances could only be described as something that would happen between soulmates. I wonder what could have been had I decided to keep in touch. Would my life be different? Perhaps. All I know is, that salsa night was so special for me that I wouldn’t change it for the world.

4. During Your Uber Pool Ride

This one did not happen with one of the people I know. It actually happened with two strangers that I was sharing my Uber ride with. I was travelling with a young boy and girl who were strangers. The girl was in the passenger seat while the boy was seated behind the driver’s seat. His position gave him a clear view of the girl who was playing some game on her phone that was apparently the food for his soul. The boy struck a conversation with the girl, and they both seemed to have taken an instant liking to each other. It was a long ride so they must have spoken for an hour and a half before finally exchanging their numbers enthusiastically.

I might not know much about them, but I knew the spark because I have seen it before. They got down at the same stop because fatefully, they were neighbours. So even the universe was at work then.

5. While Playing PUBG

Speaking of games, my boyfriend has a huge circle of friends. They are childhood buddies who are all hardcore PUBG players. And this is a rather strange PUBG incident that strengthened my faith in love and soulmates even more. One of the people from my boyfriend’s PUBG group added a new girl to the group who belonged to another city. Ronak (my boyfriend’s friend) who has been single ever since I have known him, started to talk to her during the game. To our surprise, the girl actually replied to him, and it all seemed extremely genuine to us all.

A week later as I was scrolling through my Instagram feed, I saw Ronak had uploaded a picture with a girl. I showed it to my boyfriend, and he confirmed that it was the same girl from the game. Ronak had travelled all the way to another city to meet this girl. And as you might have guessed, they started dating. It happened out of nowhere and in a different city. It was astounding, but it affirmed my faith in soulmates. Perhaps this story will affirm yours, too.

6. A Reality Show Audition

My aunt has one of the loveliest tales of her encounter with her soulmate. She had gone for an audition for a reality show. It was a regional singing competition. And if you don’t already know, the behind-the-stage of reality shows is tiring. You have to wait for hours to get to the first level of the audition, which is nowhere near the actual thing that you see on TV. And then you have at least three such rounds. So you have to be prepared to spend the entire day on the field.

While sitting in the waiting area, she caught a glimpse of a guy who was practising his song. She decided to talk to him because she was incredibly bored. The boy was warm. They clicked and started talking about their shared love for music. After singing their favourite songs together and talking all day, my aunt says they fell for each other. Safe to say that they didn’t get selected for the show, but they did become the chosen one for each other. And their relationship was so successful that I call that guy ‘uncle’ now.

7. On Your Building’s Terrace

I might have written this story before in one of my previous blogs, but I will write it yet again because it is so dreamy. Sonia, my roommate, was about to get married when I first met her. It was a love marriage. When I asked her, she told me that she had been with her man for 11 years. They were 14 years old when they had started, and they were 25 when they decided to make things official.

Sonia and Ashish became neighbours when Sonia moved to the neighbourhood. They would come on their respective terraces to see each other. That is how they would talk. Three years later, they informed their parents about their relationship, and everyone accepted their relationship almost instantly. And the rest is history. And guess where this happened? Delhi, which is famous for its rooftop romance.

Sixteen years later, they are married with a daughter. And they have settled down in Australia. Two people who were brought together by chance now live happily.

8. A Superfun Karaoke Night

We don’t have as many karaoke bars in India as we should, but soulmates find a way to get to each other. This incident happened with my brother when he was in college. His friends had dragged him to a karaoke bar and signed him up for singing. He managed to give an awkward performance and returned to his table. He didn’t expect any praises for what he had done. But someone was secretly impressed with his talent.

A minute later, a woman approached him and complimented him on his voice. She even offered him a drink. That is when you know it is fate. They exchanged numbers and got to talking. Things went forward. Now they have a dog together! It does not always end with a baby.

9. In a Judgemental Interview

No no. I am not talking about the interview per se. You can find your soulmate while waiting for the interview. This did not happen to anyone I know, but it did happen to my friend’s parents. Women did not actively seek employment back when her parents had got married. And before feminism became a fad instead of an ideology, my friend’s father was already a huge feminist. So when he saw his wife-to-be sitting there in the waiting room, he was immediately impressed. And it wasn’t a surprise when they began to see each other after they got the job.

My friend’s parents still swear by their relationship. Her mother is glad that her father made the first move. And they feel incredibly fortunate to have found each other right before they started their adult lives.

10. At a Drunken Bar

We can all agree that bars are a great place to meet your soulmate. And many love stories start here. So I wasn’t surprised when my friend met his girlfriend at a bar. He was so excited when he told me about it. And it still feels like it is brand new even after five years. Not sure if it is the alcohol that keeps the relationship ‘neat,’ but it is all wonderful.

11. During a Musical Music Festival

Many souls find each other during music fests. You have a better chance of finding your soulmate when you are at music festivals because you get to meet like-minded people. Also, people connect over music more than anything else.

My friends are crazy about music fests, so they make it a point to attend as many as possible. Two of my girl-friends met their current boyfriends at one such fest. They ran into two guys who were friends, too. The four of them had a good time and clicked. I absolutely envy them because they get to go on double dates more than I do.

12. In the Family

I found it extremely creepy when it happened to my friend. But I feel that it deserves to be on the list.

We were 15, and I was helping my best friend, Kriya, clean her house for Diwali. We were going through some old stuff when we came across an old photograph. It was Kriya’s childhood photo, but she wasn’t alone. There were some unfamiliar faces in there, so she began to familiarise me with them. She was running her finger through the faces while telling me about them when she suddenly stopped. It was some guy I had never seen before. He seemed to be our age. I asked Kriya who he was and she became numb. It was Abhishek, her childhood crush. I found it weird because it was her cousin. But she said it was acceptable in their religion. I didn’t question further because I didn’t know much about her religion. And we let it slide.

Two days later, I got a message from Kriya saying Abhishek had come to her house. It was surprising because he lived in a different state and he had never visited her. Another ten days later, Kriya called me, and she sounded really excited. She told me that Abhishek asked her out and she said yes. The relationship was a short-lived one because it was long-distance, but Kriya was happy.

I found out later that Abhishek was Kriya’s maternal uncle’s son and if she were to get married, he would be her family’s first choice. So I guess if their souls are meant to be together, they will find a way.

13. A Fun Hobby Class

Hobby classes are a great place to meet your soulmate. They are fun and informative. My friend, Jahnavi, met her soulmate at a tango class. It happened on a fateful day.

Jahnavi was always interested in joining a tango dance class, but she failed to find herself a partner as you need to have a partner to attend the class. So she kept rejecting the idea of attending one. But one day, she signed up for the class. Solo! No partner. Jahnavi decided to let destiny find her a partner. And it did.

Who would have thought that there would be another person who would sign up for the same class without a partner? Subsequently, the class suggested that Jahnavi and the boy take the class together. They completed the class and eventually started dating. It has been four years since then, and their relationship is only growing stronger.
