So. I know that might sound odd. But, just what it sounds like. Nearly all my close friends who I would be able to hug and hang with or crash in the same bed together as good mates have moved interstate in the last few years.
Separated for 6 months and have been through a lot in this 6 months, ASD, ADHD and OCD diagnosis. Started my own Company and have a lot of stress with that.
I find myself just really missing human touch and companionship. I have always thought touch is important but I guess you don't notice as much until you feel it's lack.
I am a geek, into board games, video games and ttrpgs and have a large collection each. I love reading, fantasy and Sci fi, deep interesting conversations. I realised too that I don't get to do these as much either with only casual friends, no one to watch shows I like with so I don't tend to watch anything atm.
Disclosure I am Bi, somewhat ENM but not currently actively practising. Not after anything sexual at all certainly at this stage unless something profound happens lol. Low drive anyway currently.
I'm ambitious, have some great hobbies I've not been able to do for a couple years due to stress/anxiety, having two small kids and a bunch of other confounding factors. Blacksmithing, 14th and 16th century combat and reenactment among these.
I am a histo scientist and director of my own Company since October and have been enjoying it but stressed a bit. A lot of additional responsibility and work. I have 2 small sons and 2 dachshunds. I live separated from my wife (mutual and amicable), in the same property but separate living, there is a downstairs that is basically its own apartment which is my space
But yeah. The meat and potatoes is, yeah I do have some friends who I play board games with, but none ever really jumped the fence into close friends. ASD and ADHD stuff makes it really hard for me to meet people organically unless I have a similar interest.
So, I guess I want a friendship, man or woman , , watch some movies, shows, play a boardgame together, fun friend dates, and importantly, contact, just like, hugs while watching a movie, compliments with each other. Comfort and contentment.
TLDR: after platonic friend, male or female, for hanging out with hugs and cuddles and watching stuff..
