A few baseball card stats to get out of the way:

• My name is Eric

• I'm 36, 6'2, black hair, blue eyes

• I live in the northern-ish parts of Canada

• I like stereotypical canadian things like Poutine, Hockey, etc

• I am fluent in both french and english (and people make fun of my accent when it slips out lol)

As the title states, I'm looking for a best friend. I believe strongly that the best partners in life are the ones you are best friends with - the intricacies of friendship enhance every other aspect you and I have together. I want you to be the first person I tell when I have good news and the first person I tell a lame stupid joke I overheard and the first person I complain to when I'm slightly inconvenienced. I'm not looking to jump straight away into anything heavy - its why I think developing chemistry together through friendship is an important first step for any relationship, romantic or otherwise.

Laughter is key and having a good time together makes the bad times not so awful when they happen. I like to make jokes and make other people laugh. I'll send you small things that remind me of inside jokes we share, for example. At the same time, I appreciate the quiet comfort of silence we can share that we don't need to say anything to each other and be able to communicate with simply a look. I'm a curious person by nature and like to learn new things about all topics. Whether its how gameboy music was created back in the 90s to emerging theories on blackholes to how to make the best pencil sharpeners, I like to listen to passionate people talk about things they like - this includes your passions especially.

About you:

• Must be between 25-45

• Must be able to hold a conversation and extend it.

• Must be located somewhere on Earth (No aliens allowed).

• Optional and not required - Confidence and assertiveness are attractive qualities

• Optional and not required - You send me your own lame dumb jokes

Thanks for reading this far - if you did, tell me a lame joke in your chat / message to me. The lamer, the better. I want to hate it and groan when I read it.
