Hello. My name is Benedict. You don't have to divulge your name if you prefer not to. I understand how this place is supposed to be anonymous. I truly enjoyed reading your advert. You sound very much like me in several ways. I too consider myself an introvert...I enjoy lots of alone time...but I realise that makes me sound like a loner....it is more supposed to convey that when I do find myself with some alone time...I cherish it rather than strive to find people to interact with at the fear of being bored like so many of the people I know...in that they text or phone someone not because they want to find out how that person is but rather they don't want to feel lonely or bored. It is the perfect time for me to collect my thoughts. The perfect locations to do this are when I'm driving, in the countryside hopefully, walking alone the beaches near where I live, walking in the countryside, sitting on buses or trains and staring out the window aimlessly. I am 29 and live in the south of England, in a city called Brighton. It is colourful and vibrant, while culturally diverse. We have the sea on one side and wonderful countryside on the other. Perfect to me. I too love books, but apart from Harry Potter I only tend to read non fiction as it is natural history, geography, and history that I love to educate myself on. I love to learn and empathise with other people from around the world and to let them educate me on what life is like in the parts of this world that matter to them. What is it you study? What types of books do you like to read? Is there one book you like to read time and time again? And the same questions go to the TV series too? Do you enjoy film? I would consider myself an amateur film buff. Terribly sorry if I've bored you to death...I very much hope to be what you are looking for...the start of a wonderful friendship! Without wanting to sound utterly cheesy! :)
