hi there! i’m Aia, a 27-year-old born and raised here, but with some asian-colombian spice in my roots, and i’m hoping to meet new friends here. my last post attracted a lot of unwanted responses, so i wanted to clarify a bit

i’m eager to find fun, interesting people to hang out with since i don’t know many folks around here

what i’m looking for:
ideally, i want to build a friendship first, with the possibility of intimacy later, but it’s important to me that we connect on a deeper level first

i have diverse interests like content creation, photography, finance, data science, tech projects, anime (i’ve watched over hundreds) creative writing (working on a book), literature, art, musicals, cycling, hitting the gym, and trying out different foods, especially japanese, chinese, local, and italian

what i’m not looking for:
i’d prefer not to engage with anyone who’s racist or misogynistic. if you’ve made mistakes in the past, that’s fine, but being open to discussing them is key. i want to have meaningful conversations, so if we can’t discuss important issues like discrimination or social justice openly, we might not be the best fit.

a bit more about me:
people often find me a little intimidating at first because i’m a workaholic, but those who know me see that i’m just a bundle of blankets who loves petting my cat and enjoying ramen at 3 a.m. i travel quite a bit - some of my favorite spots are shanghai, tokyo, london, and new york. my favorite book is the unbearable lightness of being, and i’d love it if you know the 🌈 scene, like cats, or have a good sense of humor

the perfect scenario would be: we chat, vibe, meet up, have fun, and see where things go. we could introduce each other to friends and tell everyone we met in a cute coffee shop where i dropped my spoon and you picked it up for me - though saying we met on reddit works too

just to clarify:
i’m open to some sweetness but don’t want to be seen as just a hookup. please don’t message me only for sex - it makes me sad

if you made it this far, thanks for reading! i hope i don’t come off as too intense

stay safe, everyone
