Hi there! How's it going? Are you on the look out for long lasting connections online too? Tell me about it!
There are so many things we could share! Starting from something like dumb memes/videos, random interesting (or not really) facts, maybe even articles and ending with talks about our views on different things, life experiences and so on. In other words - wildly wide range of topics 😅
I consider myself pretty easygoing and non judgemental person. The same I expect of my potential friend!
My previous online 'friendships' ended pretty ugly. I failed to see so many red flags/manipulations/pushing boundaries, I'm even ashamed to admit how dumb I was, coming up with excuses for their behavior myself :')
Once I spot anything from the above now - it is deal breaker.
I've been struggling with health issues, including mental ones, ever since I got covid a few years ago (and I'm finally doing better this year!). Was forced to spend lots of time at home, that's how my addiction to shows and movies began 😅
I'm mostly into sci-fi/mystery (I tend to like things that carry my mind away from reality), but also enjoy whatever is based on true events or a good investigation, when I'm in the mood to 'search' for clues and come up with crazy theories myself.
From the most recent shows I've seen - I really enjoyed 3 body problem, Severance, Stranger things and The boys (even tho I'm typically not into superhero movies) - currently waiting for the new season! Same for that GOT prequel :D
And.. I'm always open for recommendations! Maybe we could even watch something together (by pressing play at the same time). So many shows to watch tho, yet so little time :')
Another passion of mine currently is indoor plants. I love nature and enjoy long walks once in a while, whenever possible. So it's nice to have that home based 'oasis' in a concrete jungle!
My biggest insecurity as of now is being overwhelming, maybe even annoying. I'm working on myself, but sometimes it's not easy for me to reach out first. In other words - I'm never sure if the person would be happy to hear from me :')
That's why I appreciate honesty in people. If I am indeed being annoying or making you feel uncomfortable in any way - let me know! Communication is the key, we don't want any misunderstandings, right? 😅
Well, I know all this introduction is pretty random, advertising yourself as a potential friend is still a weird concept to me. But friendship is something we build together. So.. Let's start with building a conversation first! The one where you introduce yourself maybe? Or tell me about your passions? Hobbies? I don't know! Just send something more than 'Hi' pls😅
More random facts and what to expect, since you've made it this far!

• Time zone: GMT+3
• Location: one of the most hated countries in the world rn, take a wild guess if it matters!
• English is not my first language. So if you get easily annoyed by poor grammar or punctuation - I'm not your choice
• I mostly use discord but I'm not into voice calls. They give me random anxiety, I turn deaf and panic. I wish I had subtitles irl too :')
• Introverted INFP. I really enjoy chatting. Just need to recharge from time to time. So, please, don't expect a response in negative milliseconds
• Looks don't matter to me. So if getting to know someone requires a selfie right away for you - I pass. I might never even send one, I'm ugly
• Some amount of weird is good. Especially regarding humor (guilty myself). But nsfw type of weird.. Keep it in your pants please 😌

Sorry if it took too long, I appreciate the time spent. Have a great day/evening! ✨

I'm a straight guy who enjoys crossdressing and is looking to connect with a female friend who shares an open mind and a love for great conversations. Crossdressing has been a passion of mine for several years now; I find it an expressive and liberating part of who I am. Besides this, I have a deep love for the culinary arts. Cooking and baking are my creative outlets, and I enjoy experimenting with new recipes and sharing delicious meals with friends. Exploring different cuisines and learning about food from around the world is something that excites me. When I'm not in the kitchen or dressing up, I enjoy reading, watching movies, and spending time outdoors. I'm looking for a female friend who is open-minded and accepting of my crossdressing, and who also shares an interest in cooking or wants to learn more about it. I value great conversations and would love to chat with someone who enjoys deep talks as much as light-hearted banter. Age and location are not important to me; I'm more interested in connecting on a personal level. If you're interested in chatting, swapping recipes, or just making a new friend, feel free to send me a message! Let's share our stories, culinary tips, and maybe even a virtual cooking session. Looking forward to meeting someone wonderful!

First, the cowards did it again. Funny how they report and tattle like a bunch of babies. With the anniversary of Ashley’s death coming up, I’ll create more. It actually helps me to talk about and in this place I feel I can. Yet, there cowards will have my account removed again, so I’ll create another. F*ck them.
**I’m writing my memories because it’s a way of healing for me. As I said in other posts, its been two years since Ashley passed and writing helps me in a way that talking to family and friends can not. Now, there is little A. Maybe it’s for her, too. This is a smaller part of our trip that I may post. Or may not.
For Ashley
Hindsight. This, along with the what-if monster, can wreak havoc on our psyche.
October 2009
We had been together for a year now and this was a surprise trip for her. She has always wanted to go to the mountains of TN. In fact, she had talked about it during one of our many conversations while she was in Iraq.
As we were walking in Gatlinburg, we came across this beautiful little white church no bigger than maybe a small gas station. Wedding chapel is probably a better term as hundreds of couples go there a year for destination weddings. Half-joking I said let’s get married here. She squeezed my hand harder and said “it is beautiful.” I didn’t push and let it go.
The next morning found us on our way to Cades Cove and the hike to Abrams Falls. We decided to leave a little early as to beat the leaf-chasing crowds to the park. Turns out, that was a great idea. The changing leaves, along with a touch of frost, made the place that much more majestic.
The Abrams Falls trailhead parking area was empty. Not a soul there. Perfect. It’s a five mile round trip from the parking area and back. We started off hand in hand. I loved the way her hand fit mine. As chilly as it was, the exertion from the hike more than warmed us up - a lot of elevation changes. High and higher we hiked, following Abrams Creek, until we reached the crest. I wish we could post photos here so everyone could see just how beautiful it was.
At the crest of the trail before it makes its descent to the falls is an outcropping. Probably only 20-30 feet higher than the trail itself. Perfect place to look out over the mountains. We climbed it and found a great spot to sit and bask in the sun while admiring nature’s beauty.
Hindsight being what it is, I should have asked her to marry me at that spot. I still kick myself for not doing so. One can’t imagine a better setting - perched high up above everything else and looking out over the mountains. I can still see her sitting there - leaning back with the sun on her face and just staring out in amazement.
From there the trail switches back in a fairly steep descent to the falls. The falls, while not the tallest were stunning due to the sheer amount of water passing over. We found a flat rock to sit and enjoy the scenery. Mother Nature was showing off big time - the different, vibrant hues adding various splashes of color made it seem like we stepped into a painting.
Out of my ruck came snacks, water, and a towel. Always be prepared.
“Do you remember how we talked about this when I was in Iraq? Did you think we’d make it this far,” she asked munching on some trail mix.
“Yep.” She turned to look at me. Maybe study. Nothing ever got past her. “I knew the minute I saw you at the party.”
Now she was completely looking at me. Eyes narrowed. “And that’s not because you said I was beautiful?” The look I’ve seen seen many times - it’s a trap!
“I told you from the beginning. Hell, you make BDUs look sexy. The thing is, it’s you. It’s always been you.”
Her features softened into a smile. With that, she leaned against me for a bit. Maybe even kissed me a time or three.
“Will you take a picture of me on that rock,” pointing maybe halfway across the pool. And before I could say anything, she was off hopping over the rocks.
“Be care…” was all I could get out before she stepped on an algae covered, wet rock. The resulting scream, immediately followed by a huge splash, echoed off the trees.
I stood there. Dumbfounded. Ashley’s the only woman I’ve ever had a healthy fear of. I tried so hard not to laugh because quite honestly, I didn’t know which Ashley would come out of the water.
She was out almost as fast as she went in. “Damn, that’s f****** cold,” she said, snatching the towel as she passed, laughing. Always be prepared.
She was shivering. Looking around to see if anyone was coming, off came her clothes. As she was drying, I couldn’t help but watch. Athlete-fit. Beautiful form.
“You’re staring again,” she said as she tried to dry her hair. I was caught. Couldn’t help it. Then I noticed her biting her lip….much like the night of that first date.
“Here, let me help you with that,” dropping her towel to the side. And right then, Abrams Falls was christened.
We had no sooner gotten our clothes on before we started hearing voices coming down the trail. It was a family who had no clue.
“Enjoy it, it’s…breathtaking,” she said as she let the family leave the log footbridge. Phew. What a morning.
Her wet clothes dried fairly quickly as we started the climb back up. We both were in excellent shape, but she had set a pace that was very taxing. Up and up we climbed until we reached the crest. There was a family up there who kindly took our picture. I still have that picture - with me sweaty and tired, and her looking like, well, a wet dog .
We made it back to the car about five hours after we left. Her clothes were dry, fortunately. We were tired and hungry, so we drove into Pigeon Forge for late lunch at the Old Mill. Followed by a night to remember.
That vacation showed me why I wanted to grow old with her. I still wish I had asked her to marry me that day. I guess everything happens in it’s own time and reason, but I can’t figure out why. I always will regret that. Hindsight.

I just found out she’s seeing someone new. I thought I was over it, over her. I didn’t think hearing about her moving on would hurt this much. It almost feels as if the progress I made was just some stage of euphoria because everything I felt the day she left, I feel all over again. I know what I have to do this time, I can’t help it. I close my eyes, I imagine her in love with someone else, and this time, it’s real. I open my eyes, I’m reminded that someone gets to hold her hand. Someone else gets to play MK with you. Someone else gets to take you to your concerts. Someone else gets to hear you speak passionately,about your favorite movie, Caroline. If their lucky enough hear you recite it word for word and giggle hoping you’re not interrupting anything. Someone else gets to read the chainsaw man manga and break down every single page with you. Someone else gets to learn you, and I hope he listens. Someone else gets to take you to that arcade, play that DC fighting games and collect those cards. Someone else gets to cuddle up eat sunflower seeds and watch ghost adventures and make fun of Zach’s reactions with you, low key wondering if it’s real. They get to take you to your favorite restaurant, order your stake with extra teriyaki sauce, on the side please. Go to different hole in the wall bars to see who makes the better lemon drop. Dance with you, meet your family, plan your futures. Someone else has the pleasure of their whole life lighting up with just her presence. Someone has you, how lucky… Damn… I’ll never be able to fix again, huh?
🚶‍♂️….

Hi everyone!
My name is Nicholas, I'm 25, and I live in Italy. I'm a master's student in Management in Milan. Although I've finished all my exams, I'm back in my hometown in southern Italy, waiting to start an internship (if a company accepts me, hopefully...). So, I have a lot of free time lately, and I'd like to make new friends!
I have a messed up sleep schedule, so don't worry if you're not in my timezone. I studied English, Spanish, and French in high school, so I can speak those languages too if you prefer!
I'm 178 cm (or 5'10") with blue eyes and brown hair. Now, let's talk more specifically about me and my passions:

• I like to make jokes and share memes. For reference, all my friends say I'm funny haha.
  
• I'm a fan of Italian and Russian literature. My favorite authors are Moravia and Dostoevsky. I'd like to read something by Sartre in the future.
  
• Teen dramas are my guilty pleasure, probably a reminiscence of my past as a boy of a famous social in 2014 lol. My favorites are probably Call Me by Your Name and Gilmore Girls. And as a user of that social I believe in Lorde supremacy haha
  
• Since 2-3 years ago, I've entered the anime world, after watching Your Name for the first time. I cried a lot! My favorite anime are Attack on Titan, Nana, Horimiya, and Haikyu!!. I'm a sucker for rom-com and slice-of-life genres!
  
• I watch a lot of sports, really a lot! As a good Italian, I'm an AC Milan fan and a Ferrari fan, but I also watch MotoGP and volleyball. If I had watched Haikyu!! as a kid, I would have definitely practiced volleyball, but instead, I just played it casually in high school and sometimes with my friends. Nowadays, i like running and going to the gym.
  

I hope I've caught your interest, so I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

So I have tried this successfully a few years ago during the first lockdown and met some amazing people here but we eventually lost contact with them cause life got in the way. So I’m giving this a shot again to find some fun people I can talk to daily and can have conversations about everything and anything.
I have a few passions in life but I love music, hiphop in particular but I listen to everything, running, hiking, I enjoy stupid risky stuff and I am a adrenaline junkie, watching documentaries and reading about history and geopolitics. I am extremely extroverted so I can hold a conversation with pretty much everyone. I play games now then but I prefer being outdoors. I have a particular hate for geese.(If that rings any bells then you probably know me so reach out I would like to some old friends from Reddit)
We can talk about anything and as long as you can roast me and talk shit we will have fun. I am looking for some long term friends.
Hope to hear from you soon.

I want to watch rain patter against the windows as we snuggle on the couch, warm and cozy together.
I want to whisper hopes, dreams, and secrets into the wee hours of the night.
I want to hold hands on long walks somewhere beautiful: a forest, a beach, a scenic neighborhood, take your pick.
I want to bake you treats and hear you say, "Oh my god, that's so good."
I want to decorate the tree together for Christmas and feel like there's magic in the air when we turn the lights off.
I want us to proudly introduce one another to our families (if you're on good terms with yours).
I want us to be each other's first thought when we wake up from a scary dream.
I want us to look at each other and feel like the luckiest people alive.

Who I am

I'm a 32-year-old Seattle man who values creativity, intelligence, and dedication. My personality can best be summed up as...

• I'm extremely passionate about the things and people that matter to me. If I'm fascinated by a topic, I can write about it for thousands of pages. If I value a person, picking them up at 3 AM from the airport is nothing.
• I'm an introvert and prioritize few but close relationships over many casual ones. An evening reading, cooking, or going on a walk is more fun to me than a night of clubbing. (Or all three! That sounds like a rad date with a partner.)
• I'm meticulous and detail-oriented. There are no facts too small or insignificant for me to overlook. If I was mugged by a man wearing mismatching socks, my first thought would be that his outfit could be better coordinated. Then I'd hand him a dummy wallet with a few bucks and expired credit cards, because I'm meticulous in practical ways too.
• I'm endlessly curious. I'm constantly learning and researching things. I can regale people with factoids from the practical to the esoteric. (Did you know that Kim Jong-Il once stole a bunch of giant German bunny rabbits?!) It is very rare that I find myself bored. The world is too interesting.
• I'm logically driven. I'm a facts first, feelings second person. (Although pragmatic enough to realize the world usually operates on feelings!) If you're a Star Trek fan, I always side with Spock over Bones when they argue.
• I don't consider myself competitive or aggressive. But I'm stubborn as a mule when I've decided something (or someone) is important to me.
• I'm a stable person not inclined to take risks. I can be counted on to follow through on commitments. Friends and partners have found me a dependable presence in their lives.
• I value wit and cleverness, particularly in unexpected places. I recently browsed a restaurant's website and chuckled when it said about children "Dining as a family is an art best practiced long before your reservation. For the communal sake of our dining room, please choose wisely."
• I have strong opinions and convictions. I respect strength in others. I define strength as remaining true to one's values despite external pressures. Some of my proudest moments are ones where I felt I did so.
• My sense of humor errs towards the droll, the dry, and the wry. (Which sounds rather like a baking recipe?) Occasional random things can make me laugh for minutes on end. If I were locked in lab for study, some of the observers' notes might read, "Subject appears to laugh randomly."
• My primary love language is quality time, followed by words of affirmation. Cooking and baking for someone is another favorite way of mine to express affection.

Some of my biggest interests include:

• Reading, creative writing, films, tabletop RPGs (all four frequently from the fantasy, sci fi, and horror genres), history, cooking and baking, spending time with cats, personal fitness, and researching whatever random topics grab my interest.
  
• The common thread that many of these interests share is learning and creative self-expression. One of my favorite authors, J.R.R. Tolkien, viewed creation as a divine act that allows us to imbue the best parts of themselves into our creative works. This is true for everthing I create, whether it's a batch of cookies or a chapter in a story. It will be meticulously researched, with high attention to accuracy and weaving little things together into a greater whole.
  
• I love learning new things, value partners who can expose me to new interests and experiences (and vice versa) while still sharing common ones. I value compatible personalities most of all, though. Sharing the same interests is moot if you drive each other crazy!
  

Physically, I'm 5'5", slender, Caucasian, brown-haired, brown-eyed, and have a short beard. I was once described by an acquaintance as "a handsome devil." Facetiously? Seriously? I choose to repost those words either way! Happy to share pictures upon request.

What I have to offer

In alphabetical order...

• Commitment: I'm good at organizing and persisting with long-term tasks and projects. I've been GMing my current RPG group for nine years and written 11,000 pages of fiction with them.
• Communication: I'm a direct but tactful communicator. I firmly believe that addressing issues promptly is the best way to resolve them.
• Conversation: I'm well-read on a variety of topics and capable of providing engaging conversation.
• Cooking: I'm an adept cook and baker. I'm capable of independently brainstorming and preparing multi-course delicious and healthy meals. Or sinfully decadent, as desired--in my favorite chef's words, "Fat is flavor!"
• Criticism: I take personal criticism well. I genuinely desire it. When I make an error, I want to know so that I can fix the error.
• Finances: I'm financially responsible and self-sufficient with excellent credit and zero debt.
• Health: I take good care of myself. I'm drug-free, STI-free, and exercise regularly. I don't smoke or drink. I'm conscientious about my nutritional intake. My grandfather lived until 94: I want to do that too!
• History: My reddit account has a long posting and comment history. You can peruse it to get a better sense of what I'm like outside of this ad.
• Housekeeping: I have multiple years' professional experience cleaning from a prior job. I can keep a tidy house.
• Learning: I'm passionate about learning new skills and interests, particularly ones that bring my partner joy. Do you love to ice skate? Carve wood? Study languages? Great, I'd love to learn!
• Research: I'm an extremely persistent and thorough researcher. I pride myself on being able to locate whatever someone's looking for.
• Writing: I have strong written communication skills. I can articulately and entertainingly express a range of ideas in personal, professional, and hobbyist contexts.
• Broadly, I'm highly organized, methodical, and attentive to detail. I can leverage these traits to benefit my partner in a variety of situations.
• I love lists, can you tell?

Who I seek

The biggest thing I look for in a partner is mutual respect. I prefer partners who...

• ...are verbally eloquent
• ...are curious about the world and love to learn
• ...are respectful towards others
• ...are reliable during times of crisis
• ...follow through on commitments, even when inconvenient
• ...have a firm moral compass, and can make others go, "What would [Person] do? That's probably the right thing," during tough situations
• ...take care of their body and value their health

I've also found fulfillment in relationships where the woman takes the lead. I'm happy to volunteer input and ideas, but I don't need to be the final decision-maker in the relationship (outside of areas we've agreed should be my call).
I'd love to see effort in your response. I've put effort into my ad. You don't need to match its word count (which is pretty darn long!). But something more substantive than, "Hi, I liked your ad!" is a marvelous way to kick things off between us.

In Closing

If life is a journey, people are destinations. Maybe we'll be one another's dream homes. Maybe we'll be a lovely place to stay for a few years. Maybe we'll be ships passing in the night. My long-term goal is marrying a life partner.
I'm also young enough that I don't need such to happen in my next relationship. If it does, awesome--but right now, I'm primarily interested in meeting interesting people and seeing where things go.
Feel free to shoot me a line if you're interested in the same!

Re watched it a year ago and was in a bad place. I’m not a great skater or anything, but I love skateboarding. Just really to see someone get there shit together to that extent and seeing the passion in that part that truly did come from him sobering up and finding his passion for skating and being a father really made me want to get my life together. I think he’s the Michael Jordan of skating and this was his magnum opus. The part will stand the test of time. Shoutout to the boss. One of the nicest dudes in person as well I can vouch when he came to Philly.

I'm just a simple man looking for a simple woman. My idea of a perfect date is to have a cozy picnic somewhere in nature and watch the sunset as you're in my arms. Nature never fails to amaze and rejuvenate me with its tranquility. Observing animals in the wild is one of my favorite things to do when hiking.
Besides spending time in nature, I love basketball and it's one of my major passions. I try to play every chance I get. I love a beautifully shot film as I really appreciate good acting and cinematography. I can appreciate good food too and am always open to trying new cuisines.
I really value loyalty, honesty, communication, and morals. I know that I have a lot of love and affection to give and all I need is someone to reciprocate that. No material object will ever replace the magic that is true love.
I love having good conversation and getting to know each other so I don't mind taking it slow or even starting out with a friendship that blossoms into love.
Perhaps it was fate for our paths to cross.

I want to watch rain patter against the windows as we snuggle on the couch, warm and cozy together.
I want to whisper hopes, dreams, and secrets into the wee hours of the night.
I want to hold hands on long walks somewhere beautiful: a forest, a beach, a scenic neighborhood, take your pick.
I want to bake you deserts and hear you say, "Oh my god, that's so good."
I want to decorate the tree together for Christmas and feel like there's magic in the air when we turn the lights off.
I want us to proudly introduce one another to our families (if you're on good terms with yours).
I want us to be each other's first thought when we wake up from a scary dream.
I want us to look at each other and feel like the luckiest people alive.
I want us to be like peanut butter and chocolate: complete on our own, amazing together.

Who I am

I'm a 32-year-old Seattle man who values creativity, intelligence, and dedication. My personality can best be summed up as...

• I'm extremely passionate about the things and people that matter to me. If I'm fascinated by a topic, I can write about it for thousands of pages. If I value a person, picking them up at 3 AM from the airport is nothing.
• I'm an introvert and prioritize few but close relationships over many casual ones. An evening reading, cooking, or going on a walk is more fun to me than a night of clubbing. (Or all three! That sounds like a rad date with a partner.)
• I'm meticulous and detail-oriented. There are no facts too small or insignificant for me to overlook. If I was mugged by a man wearing mismatching socks, I'd probably observe afterwards that his outfit could be better coordinated. In the moment, I'd hand him a dummy wallet with a few bucks and expired credit cards, because I'm meticulous in practical ways too.
• I'm endlessly curious. I'm constantly learning and researching things. I can regale people with factoids from the practical to the esoteric. (Did you know that Kim Jong-Il once stole a bunch of giant German bunny rabbits?!) It is very rare that I find myself bored. The world is too interesting.
• I'm logically driven. I'm a facts first, feelings second person. (Although pragmatic enough to realize the world usually operates on feelings!) If you're a Star Trek fan, I always side with Spock over Bones when they argue.
• I don't consider myself competitive or aggressive. But I'm stubborn as a mule when I've decided something (or someone) is important to me.
• I'm a stable person not inclined to take risks. I can be counted on to follow through on commitments. Friends and partners have found me a dependable presence in their lives.
• I value wit and cleverness, particularly in unexpected places. I recently browsed a restaurant's website and chuckled when it said about children "Dining as a family is an art best practiced long before your reservation. For the communal sake of our dining room, please choose wisely."
• I have strong opinions and convictions. I respect strength in others. I define strength as remaining true to one's values despite external pressures. Some of my proudest moments are ones where I felt I did so.
• My sense of humor errs towards the droll, the dry, and the wry. (Which sounds rather like a baking recipe?) Occasional random things can make me laugh for minutes on end. If I were locked in lab for study, some of the observers' notes might read, "Subject appears to laugh randomly."
• My primary love language is quality time, followed by words of affirmation. Cooking and baking for someone is another favorite way of mine to express affection.

Some of my biggest interests include:

• Reading, creative writing, films, tabletop RPGs (all four frequently from the fantasy, sci fi, and horror genres), history, cooking and baking, spending time with cats, personal fitness, and researching whatever random topics grab my interest.
  
• The common thread that many of these interests share is learning and creative self-expression. One of my favorite authors, J.R.R. Tolkien, viewed creation as a divine act that allows us to imbue the best parts of themselves into our creative works. This is true for everthing I create, whether it's a batch of cookies or a chapter in a story. It will be meticulously researched, with high attention to accuracy and weaving little things together into a greater whole.
  
• I love learning new things, value partners who can expose me to new interests and experiences (and vice versa) while still sharing common ones. I value compatible personalities most of all, though. Sharing the same interests is moot if you drive each other crazy!
  

Physically, I'm 5'5", slender, Caucasian, brown-haired, brown-eyed, and have a short beard. I was once described by an acquaintance as "a handsome devil." Facetiously? Seriously? I choose to repost those words either way! Happy to share pictures upon request.

What I have to offer

In alphabetical order...

• Commitment: I'm good at organizing and persisting with long-term tasks and projects. I've been GMing my current RPG group for nine years and written 11,000 pages of fiction with them.
• Communication: I'm a direct but tactful communicator. I firmly believe that addressing issues promptly is the best way to resolve them.
• Conversation: I'm well-read on a variety of topics and capable of providing engaging conversation.
• Cooking: I'm an adept cook and baker. I'm capable of independently brainstorming and preparing multi-course delicious and healthy meals. Or sinfully decadent, as desired--in my favorite chef's words, "Fat is flavor!"
• Criticism: I take personal criticism well. I genuinely desire it. When I make an error, I want to know so that I can fix the error.
• Finances: I'm financially responsible and self-sufficient with excellent credit and zero debt.
• Health: I take good care of myself. I'm drug-free, STI-free, and exercise regularly. I don't smoke or drink. I'm conscientious about my nutritional intake. My grandfather lived until 94: I want to do that too!
• History: My reddit account has a long posting and comment history. You can peruse it to get a better sense of what I'm like outside of this ad.

• Broadly, I'm highly organized, methodical, and attentive to detail. I can leverage these traits to benefit my partner in a variety of situations.

Friendship?: I've gotten several (very sweet!) messages asking if I want to be platonic friends. Right now, my life is comfortably full between work, hobbies, and existing friendships. I'm saving my remaining time and effort--which will be a lot--for a relationship.

Hi everyone!
My name is Nicholas, I'm 25, and I live in Italy. I'm a master's student in Management in Milan. Although I've finished all my exams, I'm back in my hometown in southern Italy, waiting to start an internship (if a company accepts me, hopefully...). So, I have a lot of free time lately, and I'd like to make new friends!
I have a messed up sleep schedule, so don't worry if you're not in my timezone. I studied English, Spanish, and French in high school, so I can speak those languages too if you prefer!
I'm 178 cm (or 5'10") with blue eyes and brown hair. Now, let's talk more specifically about me and my passions:

• I like to make jokes and share memes. For reference, all my friends say I'm funny haha.
  
• I'm a fan of Italian and Russian literature. My favorite authors are Moravia and Dostoevsky. I'd like to read something by Sartre in the future.
  
• Teen dramas are my guilty pleasure, probably a reminiscence of my past as a boy of a famous social in 2014 lol. My favorites are probably Call Me by Your Name and Gilmore Girls. And as a user of that social I believe in Lorde supremacy haha
  
• Since 2-3 years ago, I've entered the anime world, after watching Your Name for the first time. I cried a lot! My favorite anime are Attack on Titan, Nana, Horimiya, and Haikyu!!. I'm a sucker for rom-com and slice-of-life genres!
  
• I watch a lot of sports, really a lot! As a good Italian, I'm an AC Milan fan and a Ferrari fan, but I also watch MotoGP and volleyball. If I had watched Haikyu!! as a kid, I would have definitely practiced volleyball, but instead, I just played it casually in high school and sometimes with my friends. Nowadays, i like running and going to the gym.
  

-I play videogames too! I have a PS4 where I usually play Fortnite or FIFA with my friends.
I hope I've caught your interest, so I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
