Making online friends

This is intended for the people on here who are comfortable using private messaging, and who are aged 20+ as I am 25.

Hello! I was wondering is anybody wants to have some casual chats on here? I really struggle keeping up with the forums because I forget where I have posted and I don't often get notifications. Plus there are just so many of them. 

I am a 25 year old female, and some of my interests are 

1. Animals
-cats
-dogs
-reptiles
-wildlife
-birds ( pigeons are my favourite )

2. Gaming
-story games
-horror games
-some online games but not many

3. I like reading occasionally but usually stick to books I have already read such as the 50 shades trilogy or the Harry Potter books

4. Harry Potter

5. Photography

If you have any of the same interests as me and feel like making a new friend maybe leave me a comment? I look forward to making some new friends but please remember you DO NOT have to add anybody you don't want to, and if we start talking and you feel like maybe our personalities don't fit well we can stop talking and it wont upset me. I hope you all have a good dayRelaxed

  • I've just realized I'm not sure if I'm ready to make online friends yet, so I will attempt to take this reply down. I'm very sorry.

  • I'm interested in making new friends. How far away from Scotland do you live?

  • Yeah, the Discord thing is only a suggestion if you found yourself really enjoying messaging someone, and you wanted to continue it somewhere you'd be notified. Sweat smile

    Ah nice. I mainly watch traditional TV channels really, comedy stuff. Music wise I like pop music such as Ed Sheeran, One Direction etc. 

  • It sounds like we have similar interests. I like dogs. I've owned a west highland terrier and have two patterdale terriers right now. The westie was my favourite, seconded only by my late uncle's akita. Now that the living definition of a gentle giant.

    Video games are definitely my main hobby. I've got a chunky Steam library. I just finished with the 2016 Prey, and am looking for what my next dive will be. My favourite genres are roguelites, metroidvanias and anything Lovecraftian. Eldritch horror is the type of horror I like the best.

    I've read all the mainline Harry Potter books and have been playing Hogwarts Legacy some. It's not my favourite to be honest. I like horror stories more, especially ones that dabble with madness.

    If you'd like to PM chat about anything, I wouldn't mind at all.

  • I usually watch movies on netflix etc than actual tv channels, and I like a variety of music but don't ask me the name of artists or what the songs are called because 9 times out of 10 I wont know lmao.

  • Could do yes, I do have discord but don't really use it as I've had no reason to, which is why I mentioned the private messaging on here.

  • I'd been doing this e.g. email and social media Like Facebook. 

  • A suggestion would be if you began chatting with anyone in private message and it was going well, you could suggest moving the conversation to a different platform (e.g. email, Discord).

    We've talked about gaming. Do you watch television/like music?

    I guess in my case, I'm actively looking for people who live nearby (West Midlands). Relaxed
