Hello my name is Nathan. I am 20 years old and a live in a pleasant little town called Stockton which is situated in the north-east of England. I am a friendly, outgoing guy who greatly enjoys reading, writing, making new friends and generally having a good time and enjoying life. I am currently a very proud university student.

AND ONE VERY URGENT POINT:

If I have looked at your profile and not spoken, it doesn't mean I don't like your profile, I can't be bothered, or I'm unkind. It means I'm usually too shy to initiate a conversation​ (although I might just not like what I see, you know ha ha)

I have a deep love for France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Greece and Russia and would love to speak to anyone from these countries in order to find out more about life, culture, food, history....a​nything.

Right, time for some basic facts in the style of Bullseye: (my favourite gameshow)

INNNNNN ONE! = I am a caring, honest guy with time for everyone
INNNNNN TWO! = But please, only contact me if you really wish to be my friend.
INNNNNN THREE! = No creepy people please. We tend not to get on.
INNNNNN FOUR! = No flirtations or dates or marriage proposals. But bring on the friends!
INNNNNN FIVE! = Please be able to string a sentence together. It helps an awful lot.
INNNNNN SIX! = Be sure to have talked to me or a while before adding me a friend, not the other way around. Thank-you.
INNNNNN SEVEN! = I adore good conversation​s, so please write a little more than just "Hi, how are you?" I learned the hard way that that is not the way.
INNNNNN EIGHT! = Genuine, honest, friendly, fun, talkative people please. Let's make our friendship a lasting one.
AND BULLY'S SPECIAL PRIZE = Observation of the above guidelines will ensure that we get along like a house on fire. I look forward to hearing from you.

I have a deep love of Russia and would love to speak and write Russian one day, so any Russians, male or female, are most welcome.

Anyone intelligent with plenty to say and discuss and one who is not afraid to be themself and speak their mind is what I'm looking for. I enjoy talking to people from other countries but I realize I've been neglecting my own countrymen so if there are any Brits who fancy a chat you'll be more than welcome.

Formula 1 (1966-) I am obssessed with Formula 1 it has to be said. I love collecting old Formula 1 seasons. I now have all the races between 1983-1998 and my collection is still growing.

Whoever saves one life saves the world entirely.

Vodka martini, shaken not stirred.

Do you expect me to talk?
No Mr Bond, I expect you to DIE!

I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people and I require the same from them.

I would do anything for love, but I won't do that.

No perverts

No marriage proposals

DO NOT ASK ME FOR MONEY!!
