I apologize for the long post, but I’d rather get everything out there in the first place.

I’ve posted on here in the past and had some success meeting people, but the friendships have all fizzled out so I’m trying again.

What I’m hoping to gain from this post

- I’m looking for a friend to talk to on a regular basis. Preferably through some form of text mainly. I have to really know someone before I’m comfortable with voice calls.

- I am not looking for a serious romantic relationship. This is very unlikely to change until I graduate from college. I believe in being 100% up front with my intentions so that nobody is expecting anything more.

- I am open to being more than friends but as of this point, I am not looking for any kind of committed relationship.

A little about me

- I’m 32 years old and currently living in Texas.

- I work evening/night shift, so my schedule is a bit odd for living in Texas.

- I live alone and work full time as well as a full-time student (online).

- I’m a total nerd for anything science related. Weirdly I do not particularly enjoy science fiction.

- I don’t watch much tv except as background noise but when I do I enjoy sitcoms mostly. Occasionally Anime.

- I enjoy gaming, PS5 and PC. I mainly enjoy RPGs (online and off). Not a big fan of shooting games

- I love fantasy novels and would love to hear any suggestions for audiobooks I can listen to while working.

- I tend to have random hyper-fixations on different hobbies. I’d love to hear about your hobbies.

- I have 2 weenie dogs that I love talking about and sharing pictures of.

- I enjoy traveling and seeing new sights.

- For my appearance, I am 6’1 about 200 pounds. I’m not fat but also not skinny. I have brown eyes and curly brown hair. I also look considerably younger than I am.

What I am looking for

- Someone who is at least 21, the closer to my age the better.

- Preferably someone who lives in the US. Not being in the US isn’t a deal breaker but hopefully your schedule is compatible with mine. European schedules are usually in direct conflict with my work/sleep schedule.

- Someone with similar interests to mine. I love hearing about people’s passions and interests. Even if it’s something I have no experience with. I also love sharing my interests with friends.

- Someone who wants to talk a lot. If I like someone, I like to talk to them a lot.
- I prefer to keep anything sexual to private discussions.

I look forward to hearing from you. I prefer reddit chat to messages.
