Good morning from Cape Town, South Africa

I feel like I have become one of those calm, introverted individuals that has found himself in a nice warm comfortable spot that I'm okay with. The problem with this spot is that it tends to get lonely more often than not. Its that loneliness where there are people around you, but they are people that don't REALLY see you or get you.

Through this post I would love to find a friend that can see me, and who is hoping to be seen by someone in return.

I enjoy music and reading. From the mixes that gets generated for me I think we agree that contemporary country and 90s pop is my flavour. If you were thinking of sharing playlists I am 100% on board with that idea. I just finished reading The Whisper Man and will be getting back into Gone Girl soon after I hit post. If you looking for a creepy book recommendation I suggest The Whisper Man by Alex North. The narration of the audio book is great too if you want to branch out. If you have read it I would like to hear your thoughts or any other book recommendations.

I love spending time in the kitchen. For me this has always been the heart of the home. I would enjoy finding someone to share recipes with and to share pics of failed and successful experiments. I make a mean akhni and I can bake a killer citrus cake, I think that the key there is the simplicity.

I enjoy English Football and I have been devastated this past season by the form of my beloved Chelsea FC. I however live in hope that next season will be better. Honestly there is little room for it to be worse.

I enjoy board games and the online variants are often great too. Chess, parchisi, Rummikub, Checkers ..... I am down for any of them if you are.

I think my inner voice is secretly trying to turn my home into a zoo. I built an outdoor aviary this year and I keep finches, I also keep fish, albino crayfish, dogs and I'm dying to get a little piggie. Bad idea! I know!

I have a 4 year old and he is incredible. He has shaped so much about me and I can not sing how proud I am of him loud enough. And no I am not a singer..... I am so so bad, my son will gladly you tell you this.

I have been at this Reddit thing before and found that I get on best with ladies that are nurturing in nature and maybe a little clingy too. I’m hoping for a genuine long term friendship with someone who is smart, nice, caring, and able to hold a conversation. Someone who can make me laugh, challenge me, and motivate me. Someone who can be my co-pilot and let me be theirs.

I know that I am in an awkward time zone for many of the people here. It does make things tricky but lets see how it goes.

Drop me a DM if you think we may have chemistry.
