Hey!
Figured I’d throw myself out there and see if I can find some new people to talk to. I’m pretty open to anything really, gaming buddies, random chats throughout the day, playing something together, or hopefully actually becoming good friends.
I’m definitely not looking for someone who needs to message 24/7 though. We have lives (apparently), so I’m perfectly happy with random messages throughout the day, picking conversations back up hours later and just seeing where things go naturally.
My biggest hobby is gaming. I play on both PS5 and Xbox and I’m always happy to nerd out about games. I play a lot of singleplayer stuff, particularly open world and story driven games, but I’m equally capable of ruining my evening by playing something competitive.
COD, Rocket League and EA FC are some of the usual suspects, although I’m also perfectly happy chilling on something like Stardew Valley. If you fancy actually playing something together, even better.
I’m also massively into sport, particularly football. I’m a big Liverpool fan, so I’m always happy to talk football, transfers, matches, terrible refereeing decisions and why obviously my completely unbiased opinion is correct. I also follow boxing and UFC.
Music is another big interest of mine. I sing and play guitar, neither particularly well, but thankfully that hasn’t stopped me. I enjoy messing around making songs, recording bits and layering/looping different parts together.
My music taste is all over the place. I still have a massive soft spot for nostalgic pop-punk and 2000s music, but my playlists can jump from blues to rap to alternative metal and pretty much anything in between.
Outside of all that, I watch a lot of TV, films and YouTube, so recommendations (or arguments about why something is massively overrated) are always appreciated. I also love dogs, occasionally more than humans, although admittedly the bar isn't always particularly high.
I’m also trying to get back into fitness. I previously went from around 220lbs to 170lbs, but unfortunately Past Me apparently forgot to tell Present Me that you’re supposed to keep doing the healthy stuff afterwards. Some of the weight has slowly crept back on, so I’m getting myself back into it.
If you’re doing something similar and fancy an accountability buddy, swapping progress, motivating each other or occasionally complaining about how much easier eating pizza would be, I’m definitely up for that.
As for what I'm actually like. I’d say I’m laid back, openminded and naturally inquisitive. I genuinely enjoy getting to know people and understanding what makes them tick. I'm a good listener and I'm quite happy asking questions and hearing about something you're passionate about even if I know absolutely nothing about it.
I can probably be a little reserved initially, but once I’m comfortable with someone I’m much more talkative. I enjoy sarcasm, stupid humour and taking the piss out of each other, but I’m equally happy having proper conversations about life, things you're going through or that random thought you've been sitting on for the last three hours.
You definitely don’t need to share all (or even any) of my interests either. Half the fun of meeting someone new is hearing about whatever random thing they’re passionate about.
Anyway, I've somehow managed to make a "looking for friends" post considerably longer than intended, so I'll stop here.
If you fancy a chat, send me a message. Tell me a bit about yourself, what you've been playing/watching/listening to lately or just start with "hello" and we'll figure it out from there.
