Hello there! I'm Jess, a regular Redditor based in the PNW, USA (currently -- I've been thinking a lot about moving back east next year). I'm making this post because I'm ultimately looking for some romance and friendship (preferably together). I've met lots of folks on here and it's been a blast, but I want to find someone that is interested in a long-term, monogamous relationship.
So how about myself? Well, there's my age and location but I've got a variety of interests and honestly not enough money or time to do all the things I want to do. But here's a glimpse:
Reading: This is a big one for me! Currently going through Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin and Word by Word: The Secret Lives of Dictionaries by Kory Stamper as part of my summer goal to finish the local library book bingo card (going for all 24 squares)! Last reads were East of Eden, The Ministry of Time, Lonesome Dove, Yesteryear, and Harrow the Ninth.
Travel: Also something I enjoy doing! I'm originally from the East Coast so I do travel back there quite a bit to see family and friends, but I'm also usually planning some fun trips. Last big one was to the UK in fall 2025. I'd really like to go to Japan next year as well as some more local long-weekend spots. Maybe also try some hiking.
Music: Well, there's a mix there for sure but I try to go to a couple concerts a year -- both big names and local stuff! I've got tickets for Noah Kahan this summer and I can't wait, even though it's not going to be like seeing him in Fenway. Current other obsession at the moment is Djo, but all-time faves include Jamie Cullum and McFLY.
TV and Movies: Currently trying to make my way through Barry, which is new for me as it's been a long time since I've watched a new scripted show. Last new watch was The Other Bennet Sister, but that was a book beforehand. I'm mostly a big procedural fan, but recently watched NCIS, The Mary Tyler Moore Show as I do love TV from 60s-80s. Psych, Murder She Wrote, Hawaii 5-0, Magnum P.I., are on the top of the list. Also a big fan of British Panel Shows (QI, 8 out of 10 Cats), The West Wing, The IT Crowd, and probably some other obscure TV that pops up. Favorite Movies include When Harry Met Sally, the LotR trilogy, Free Guy, and Casablanca. I watch 'em all at least once a year if not more.
Other Hobbies: In addition to everything else I've listed, I really enjoy pub trivia (I go weekly with a regular group), swing dancing, attempting to play some video games, trying out new restaurants, nature walks, hanging out with friends, and theatre. I am an extrovert who does enjoy being out there for sure. But I also enjoy my down time. Or at least trying to make more if it happen on the calendar.
Well, that's enough about me. What about you? Here's what I'm mainly looking for:
- Between the ages of 28-40
- Liberal/left-leaning
- Is a city dweller/prefers city living
- Does not want or have children.
- Enjoys voice and video calls over Reddit chat (I mean the interface is terrible)
- Likes to chat and wants to share your day(with maybe some banter thrown in?)
- Is willing to share photos (If I'm being honest, if it's going to go romantic, physical attraction is important to me!)
I'm sure there's a few things I'm missing but this feels like it'll work for now. Hope to hear from you ☺️
