AseeksB is a modern, kink-friendly personal ads app.
Our idea was simple.
Take everything we liked about old personal ads sites
and
everything we liked about the dating apps that came after.
remove
everything we didn't like about either.
And create a modern personal ads app that brought together
the best of both worlds.
Whether you're looking for something casual or something serious, AseeksB is an alternative to swipe-based apps that lets you say what you're looking for in your own words.
Post text-first ads for casual dating, long-term relationships, kink-friendly dating, platonic connections and missed connections.
Available worldwide. Post from anywhere and search locally.

AseeksB keeps the personal-ad model people remember from Craigslist Personals: write an ad, say what you’re looking for, and let people answer it directly, without a match. No real name or photo is needed, and ads are sorted by place.
What’s different: only the audience you choose can see your ad or reply, a sender gets one message until you reply, and conversations stay in the app, where you can report someone even after they unmatch. Admins actively monitor posts. Ads are read in the app after signing up, and posting and messaging are free, with limits only on active posts and post views.

Some sites and apps try to hide their users. Some even ask you to pay before they let you see who's nearby. We don’t do that here. Our key features are free, and we show you how many posts meet your search criteria.
We’re serious about your safety, privacy, and time. At AseeksB we make it incredibly easy to report profiles, posts, or messages that don’t meet our guidelines. You can report message threads even after they’ve been unmatched. This means no more posts saying one thing, and private messages asking for something else. When an admin acts on a report, the posts come down from all users’ Bulletin Boards, so your reports help others too.
Most personal ads vanish into silence, and you never learn whether anyone even saw them. With Supporter, AseeksB shows you the numbers: how many people viewed your post, how many replied, and who you’re reaching by age, gender, and distance. It’s there to help you write a better post, not to watch anyone. See how to get more replies.
AseeksB Assist is for when you know what you want, but getting the first version down is the hard part. Give it a few things about yourself, who you are hoping to find, and anything else that should shape it, then pick the draft that sounds closest. From there you can change anything: polish the wording, shift the tone, add a detail, shorten a long post, or suggest a title. Prefer to write every word yourself? You always can. See how AseeksB Assist works.
Slow mornings and long walks are my thing. Looking for someone steady and easy to talk to, in no rush. If a quiet bookstore sounds good, say hello.
Here for something real, not a pen pal. I value low drama and people who say what they mean. Tell me what you are looking for.
I will make you a serious cup of coffee and overthink the playlist. Curious, a little observant. Come find out the rest.
AseeksB is free to use. Supporter is the full version for people who want more visibility, more reach, more control, and fewer limits: post stats, viewer insights, reply rates, advanced search (by kink role, couples’ posts, posts with photos, and hiding traveling posters), traveling mode, full AseeksB Assist access, Supporter-only mode, up to 7 active posts, duplicate posts, unlimited post views, rewinds, drafts, Title Mode, Dark Mode, one free Letter per month, and priority feature requests.
AseeksB Assist: a set of writing tools that help you say what you mean, in your own words. Assist works from your draft and keeps your voice, so your post still sounds like you.
Five ways to use it:
Polish: tighten and clean up your draft without changing what you mean.
Tone: shift the feel of your post, warmer, more direct, or more playful, while keeping your meaning.
Grow: turn a short draft into a fuller post when you are stuck for words.
Shorten: trim a long post down to what matters.
Title Suggest: get a title that fits what your post actually says.

For well over a century, personals were a few lines in the back of a newspaper: who you are, who you hope to meet, and how to answer. The oldest ad in our Personals Archive ran in The Times of London in 1800. Craigslist carried the format online from 1995 until it closed its US personals section on March 22, 2018.
Since then, personals have spread out across Reddit boards, classified sites, and apps built around the written ad, AseeksB among them. The idea hasn’t changed: say what you want in your own words, and let the right people answer.
Personals are local. Ads on AseeksB are sorted by place, and our city guides cover where people post personals in each city, AseeksB included.
Personals, or personal ads, are short written ads in which someone describes themselves and who they hope to meet, and people who are interested answer them. Newspapers printed them for well over a century, and the oldest ad in our Personals Archive ran in The Times of London in 1800. Craigslist carried the format online from 1995 until it closed its US personals section on March 22, 2018. AseeksB is a personals app: you write a post, choose who can see it, and people in that audience can message you.
Yes. Craigslist’s closure in 2018 ended the best-known board, not the format. People still post personals on apps, classified sites and Reddit, and searches for “personals” in the US and Canada averaged about 135,000 a month over the past year (Google Keyword Planner, October 2026). Our piece on why personal ads are back covers the revival.
Since Craigslist closed its personals, people post in a few kinds of places: personals apps such as AseeksB, classified sites such as Doublelist, and Reddit boards such as r/r4r and its city boards. They differ in who can see an ad, how replies work, and how posts are moderated. AseeksB publishes a comparison of Craigslist Personals alternatives that checks each one against the same traits, and a guide to how Reddit personals work.
On AseeksB, you search by distance from where you are, along with post category and the poster’s gender and age, and posts are sorted newest first. For where else people post in a particular city, see our city guides.
Yes. You can post as soon as you sign up. A free account keeps one active post. Anyone in your chosen audience can message it, and your replies are unlimited. You can message any post you can view: free post views refresh every 24 hours, and creating a post adds more. Once the poster replies, the conversation is open, and open conversations are unlimited for everyone. Supporter is optional and adds up to 7 active posts, unlimited post views, search by kink role, Traveling Mode, and more.
All three are built around written ads. Reddit personals boards such as r/r4r are subreddits run by volunteer moderators, each with its own rules, and replies mostly go through Reddit chat, depending on each user’s settings. On Doublelist, ad titles can be browsed without an account, and opening an ad requires one (checked October 5, 2026). On AseeksB, ads are read in the app after signing up, each post is shown only to the audience its poster chooses, a sender gets one message until the poster replies, conversations stay in the app, and photos must be of the poster. AseeksB publishes this site; our Reddit guide and Doublelist comparison go into more detail.
Anonymous by default, but not invisible. You don’t need a real name or a photo, and each post reaches only the audience you choose. People in that audience see your username, gender, age and location when you post, and you can report someone even after they unmatch. Our guide to anonymous dating apps compares what other people can see on each app.
An app, for iOS and Android. This website explains how it works, but ads are read and answered in the app, after you sign up. Get the app.
