Open-minded, liberal-leaning 40-yo cis white male seeking friendship in the #FortWorth area. The internet makes it easy to find "friends" that comment and like my posts, but I'm wanting to have lunch and build a relationship with someone nearby. I have been deconstructing my faith over the last few years, so I would prefer to avoid highly religious people for my own mental health.

I'm kind of a basic white guy, but I have had friends of different faiths, color, identity, and nationality in the past. I would love to continue that trend.

Some of my interests:
#Parenting #Crochet #Linux #AmateurRadio #Hiking #Camping #DiscGolf #Movies #3DPrinting

Thank you to everyone for the response here. I find it interesting that I haven't connected with anyone more local yet. I'm sure there are people in #Texas with similar interests, and I feel like this is the ideal platform to find those people.

I believe it's important to take leaps of faith like this for personal growth. I'm still holding out hope that I can grab coffee with a random stranger on the internet.

@brainofdane aww don't do either. If anyone feels embarrassed about reaching out explicitly to form friendships, the former US Surgeon General's book, Together, has failed you. I'd be down for coffee if you were nearby. You crochet? Me too. I mean, with all that spare time after chasing kids and cleaning up…

@travisfw this is what I need to hear! I so wish you were nearby. My schedule gets packed, raising two teens, working a full-time job, and running a household with my partner. It’d be nice to step out for coffee with a gentille spirit one in a while.

@brainofdane don't delete it!

Have you looked at the timeline in denton.social? That might be a good place to start for finding people nearby
