I miss having a best friend, don't you?

I’ve been thinking lately about how much I miss having a really close friend.

I haven’t had a “best friend” since high school. I have people I talk to, but I don’t have that one person I can randomly text about something stupid that happened, talk about life with, or just check in with throughout the day.

I’m looking for someone I can actually get to know over time. We can talk about our lives, relationships, work, random thoughts, dumb jokes, serious stuff, or whatever happens to be on our minds that day. I don’t expect us to instantly become best friends—I think that kind of friendship just happens naturally.

I’m not looking for anything romantic. I genuinely just miss having a person who feels like a friend.

If you’re in a similar place, send me a message. Tell me a little about yourself. I'm 55M who is open to male or female friends of any age.

UK, I’m Coming!

I’ll be in the UK September 4–11, and I’m really looking forward to the trip!

I’m a 55M introvert from Texas, and I’d love to meet some new people while I’m there. I have an extra ticket to a couple of shows, and I’m open to going with someone who’d enjoy a fun night out.

If you’re in the UK during those dates and would like to meet up, grab a drink or coffee, explore a little, or join me for one of the shows, feel free to message me. If we vibe, I’ll let you know which shows I have tickets to.

Just looking for good company, conversation, and new friendships — completely platonic. 😊

Looking for Genuine Friendships in Texas

I’m in Texas and looking to meet some new people and make genuine friendships. Life can get pretty busy, and I’ve realized I’d really like to have more people to talk to, laugh with, share random thoughts with, and just enjoy some good conversation.

I’m open to friendships with both men and women. I’m not looking for anything romantic or complicated—just genuine, platonic friendships with people who are down to earth and can have a real conversation.

I enjoy music, movies, traveling, motorcycles, random conversations, and learning about other people and their lives. I can talk about something meaningful one minute and completely ridiculous the next. 😂

If you’re in Texas or anywhere else and also looking for a friend, feel free to send me a message. No pressure to become best friends overnight. Sometimes a simple “hey, how’s your day going?” is a pretty good place to start.
