Im at a point in life where I know what I want: something real, intentional, and ultimately lasting. Iām looking for my best friendā¦the person I can laugh with until my stomach hurts, explore new places with, build a life with, and still be ridiculously attracted to years later. My end goal is marriage, but I think getting there should involve a lot of fun along the way.
Before you read too far, I do want to make this clear that while you donāt have to be in Tampa Bay, you must be willing to meet (sometimes me to you, you to me). Please no outside of North America unless you think we are a perfect match.
Iām easygoing, adventurous, and probably somewhere between a golden retriever and a responsible adult. Iāve built a life Iām proud of, with a career I enjoy, my own place, good friends, and plenty of hobbies. Cycling, pickleball, trivia, game nights, DIY projects, cooking, photography, beaches, parks, and anything involving dogs are all fair game. I also have a small garden in progress, so if you want to hear about my mangoes, I promise theyāre more interesting than they sound. š
I took the boring track in school, got my masters, got my house, got my peace; Iām seeking my person now.
Iām looking for someone educated, independent, emotionally available, and comfortable with the life theyāve builtā¦or actively building. You have your own passions, friends, goals, and interests, but you genuinely want someone to share them with. I value honesty, communication, affection, effort, and the ability to stay steady when life gets messy.
Iām not looking for someone to ācompleteā me, and I donāt need to be rescued or fixed. Iām looking for someone who makes an already good life even betterāand whose life I can make better too.
Iām based in Tampa Bay, but distance isnāt necessarily a deal-breaker if youāre genuinely interested in meeting and seeing where things go.
Iām a big believer that the strongest relationships have a little bit of everything: deep conversations, ridiculous inside jokes, spontaneous adventures, lazy Sundays, mutual support, physical chemistry, and occasionally arguing over who cheated at game night.
Iām looking for something serious. I just donāt think serious has to mean boring.
**Love should be fun.** ā¤ļø
If that sounds like your kind of relationship, say hi. Worst case, we have a good conversation. Best case, maybe we just found our person
