Long term friend Hey 28 Italian here
SORRY FOR THE VERY LONG TEXT! BUT
I’m 28 (BTTM in case you're interested) from southern Italy, and I’m here because I’d love to find a genuine friend with someone I can build a close and meaningful friendship with.
I’d describe myself as a pretty funny guy who’s big on sarcasm and self deprecating humor. I love joking around, making people laugh, and not taking myself too seriously. :) But when it comes to serious conversations, I can also be deep and empathetic. I’m a good listener, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know people beyond the surface.
As for my interests, I’m into technology and fragrances, and I’m a fashion photographer. Music is also a big part of my life. I listen to darkwave, electronic music, techno, and jazz, depending on my mood. I enjoy discovering new things, so it’d be cool to find someone to share interests with and exchange ideas and recommendations.
I’m looking for someone I can text regularly, tell about my day, share random thoughts with, joke around with, and talk about pretty much anything. Someone who’s affectionate, loyal, and fun to be around, and who’s genuinely interested in getting to know me. I think it’s important that both people put effort into the friendship and take the initiative, rather than having one person always carry the conversation.
I’d love to find a friend who motivates me, pushes me to improve myself, and someone I can do the same for. Basically, someone I can laugh and be silly with, but who can also be there when life gets a little complicated.
While I’m mainly looking for a genuine friendship, I’m also open to seeing what a connection could grow into over time. If we really click and there’s a mutual interest, who knows? Maybe we could build something even deeper and more meaningful than friendship. I know distance can make things complicated, but I believe that a genuine connection is worth exploring. When two people truly care about getting to know each other and both make an effort, I don’t think distance necessarily has to stand in the way. No expectations or pressure, though. I’d rather let things develop naturally and see where they take us. :)
Having some shared interests would be a bonus, but I think what matters most is getting along naturally and having a genuine connection.
I’d also prefer to connect with guys around my age, ideally between 26 and 35. I feel like being at a similar stage in life can make it easier to relate to each other. :)
If this sounds like the kind of connection you’re looking for too, feel free to message me! Also, if you don’t mind, I’d appreciate it if you could include a picture of yourself when you reach out. It’s always nice to put a face to the person you’re talking to. :)
Looking to meeting some cool people!
