25M New to Reading & Looking to Make Friends
Hey everyone! I’m a 25-year-old gay man who recently moved to Reading a few months ago. I’m still adjusting to balancing work life while trying to build a social circle.
I’m a bit of a film enthusiast—I’ve even been to the Cannes Film Festival twice—and I love discussing great films. I enjoy cooking, Reading, visiting museums, vintage shopping, and exploring new places. My music taste leans towards alternative and pop, like most people, haha. I’m an ambivert at heart; I appreciate quiet, creative activities as well as the lively atmosphere of pubs and bars. I’m eager to make new friends who are interested in checking out fun and LGBTQ+ friendly spots around town. With winter setting in, we could all use more energy and excitement!
P.S. Quick question: who’s up for watching the Luca Guadagnino movie Queer with me? (Starring Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey) Let me know!
Hey there! Welcome to Reading! It sounds like you’ve got some awesome interests—I’m sure you’d fit in well with lots of great folks around here. I’m also a fan of films, and I’d love to chat about some of the gems you’ve seen, especially having gone to Cannes!
Cooking and vintage shopping are also right up my alley, so I’d be down to explore those together sometime. And yes, winter can be a drag, but there’s plenty of cozy spots to check out!
As for the movie night, I’m definitely interested in watching Queer with you! It sounds like a fun way to kick off the winter season. Let me know when you’re thinking of doing it, and we can rally some friends to join in! Looking forward to connecting! 🌈🍿
