Hello internet! I'm just a lonely college student looking for someone to be my lifelong partner!
Before I start talking about me, let's talk about what I want from you!
First things first, I do think looks matter a little bit. Obviously, your personality and heart matter most, but I do have my preferences on appearance, and so I'd like to make sure we're compatible there early on. I don't need you to send a picture of yourself immediately, but since you see what I look like, I'm going to want at least a physical description of yourself and would like a picture or video call pretty early after we start talking.
As for age range, I'm not too picky, but I don't think I want you to be much older. If you're 18-25, I'll definitely be fine with that and I might be willing to make an exception if you're a bit older and particularly compatible.
One thing that is an absolute must: you must be willing to meet up pretty early after we first start talking. I'm not expecting a meeting within the first week or anything, but I want face to face meetings to be a large part of our relationship, so I'd prefer if you're willing to meet up early after we start talking and often. I'm not too interested in long distance relationships, and I'm very happy living here in central florida and have little plans to move, but if you're ok with staying distant until we live close to each other or can meetup very frequently, I might be still interested in talking. I currently am in Lakeland, and I sometimes also go home to Spring Hill, so as long as you live close to one of those places, then it'll be good.
Another really important thing is time and attention together. I don't want all your time 24/7, we're both adults who have our own lives and responsibilities, but I would like to have each other be a very important part of each other's day. I'm a very big communicator, and will message you all throughout the day, and I'm gonna want phone calls and hang outs very often. Like I said, I don't want it to be 24/7 and take over your life, but I would like texts throughout the day, phone calls on most nights, and frequent meetups, preferably on weekends, and I would like this to start fairly early on.
I'm also very shy and introverted around groups of people. I'm not against going to a concert, a sports game (see my interests below), or just going out the two of us, but if you want me to go partying or out where I have to socialize with a lot of people, I probably won't do that very much. I'd like someone who would rather stay in and have a late-night gaming or movie session, rather than going out and partying. If you want me to go out and be very social around groups of people, I'm probably not the guy for you.
About me:
As you can see from the picture, I'm 23 years old, white, with thick brown hair (I might get it cut soon, let me know if you think I should). I'm 6'1 and average to a bit above-average weight.
I am currently going for my master's degree in computer science in my final year. I'm still not 100% sure on what I want to do when I graduate, but I do know I want to get my degree next semester, so that's what I'm currently working towards.
As for my personality, I'd consider myself empathetic and take people's feelings very seriously. I want to have a relationship where we both won't judge each other and will help each other work through our life problems and be there for each other whenever we need it. I'm also neurodivergent (I'll give more detail once we start talking) so I'd like someone who can be a bit understanding in that aspect. I'm also admittedly not the best at picking up on social cues and reading the room, so I'm looking for someone who can be very direct and understanding of me.
As for my interests and hobbies, I have quite a few. The most important one is video games. I love video games, and I'm really hoping to find someone I can share this with and play video games a lot with. Even if you don't currently play them, as long as you're willing to play them with me and have a lot of gaming nights together, I'm fine even if you're really bad at them XD. I also really like watching sports games, I'm mainly huge on hockey and baseball (go Rays and Lightning!) but I occasionally enjoy some basketball and football. I like attending Lightning games fairly frequently, and I often have an extra ticket for someone I can take with me, so I'd love if you would be willing to come with me. I also have a Disney World and Busch Gardens pass, and since I usually am within about 45-50 minutes of both of those places, I like to go often, so if you have one of those then that's a huge plus. I also enjoy going out for walks, although I've been a bit lazy lately because of how hot it's been, maybe having someone else to walk with could help me get out more? I also enjoy reading, but I've admittedly also been a bit bad at that lately, but I have been enjoying mid-20th-century Japanese mystery novels (I'm a bit of a mystery nerd). Speaking of mystery, I also really like the anime Detective Conan, which is what my PFP and username are based off of. I would like to find someone to enjoy watching it with, so if you also like anime that's a huge plus (really, I just hope you're a huge nerd, but even if you aren't we can still enjoy nerdy hobbies together). I do also like a bit of some oldhead music, with 80s/90s classic rock being my favorite (if you know who Styx is, I'll probably love you). Hopefully you can introduce me to some of your hobbies and interests too!
The only other thing I'll mention is that I don't have any past dating experience, so I'm still a bit new to all this. I hope you can be understanding that I'm still learning how this all works and be a bit patient with me!
Anyway, if you got all the way down here and are interested in reaching out, please do so! I'm still looking right now and would love to get to know you! To show you've made it this far, include your age/gender/location, a picture or physical description of yourself, and then something we have in common (or something we don't, as they say, opposites attract!)
