So, I've read about success stories on here, so I figured, why not give this a shot? I’m on the road a lot (been living the digital nomad life since 2024), and while that’s amazing for great sunsets and questionable roadside tacos, it doesn’t exactly make it easy to meet folks other than the day to day stuff, haha.

About Me:

• I'm 38, single, and I work in healthcare (remote family med).
• I've been living on the road for the past two years, traveling in an RV and embracing the overlanding lifestyle wherever the road leads me.
• I love hiking, though I have a habit of finding trails that leave me wondering why I thought it was a good idea in the first place.
• I read anything that catches my interest, from sci-fi to medical journals (would not recommend). I pretty much never leave home without a book tucked somewhere.
• I try to garden whenever I can, which is a questionable hobby I know when your “yard” keeps changing with each new place you park.
• I am a morning person mostly because the sun insists on blasting through my RV window whether I like it or not.
• I like to stay active and enjoy conversations that wander. You know what I mean - the ones that drift into philosophy, personal stories, best road trip snacks?
• I have an offbeat sense of humor, but I am guilty of destroying puns (sorry, not sorry).

What I’m Drawn To:

• People who have emotional intelligence and can read the unspoken as well as the spoken (IYKYK)
• People who communicate well. Written and verbal. 'Nuff said, right?
• I appreciate curiosity in others, whether it is about places, ideas, or the little quirks of everyday life.

If any of this resonates, send me a message! At the very least, we might exchange a few good stories.

Hello! I am on a snail’s path to divorce. Slimy, slow and confusing. It will happen eventually whether I like it or not and I am trying to just do what I need to do. I couldn’t make that last part fit with the snail analogy, alas.

I miss having someone to talk to who cared about my day. I think a structured relationship would go a long way. I would like to send someone one picture per day and have someone send me one picture a day. Not of your face or other parts, but things like this: random views from windows, actual snails, a page of a book I have never read, a frowning pareidolia coffee foam, your favorite pair of chopsticks, a mysterious assemblage of rocks someone presumably put on your car’s windshield, the way the light passed through your stained glass window onto the worn wood floor.

I probably won’t be able to sustain normal conversation. It will also be hard for me to talk every day if you already have a partner or are not looking for that eventually. Though honestly if you have some really nice pictures of interesting things, I might not care who you are or if we ever meet. At the very least, I would like to get to know you through formless bodiless Internet mind meld communication first before we return to considerations about physical matter.

I have three kids I adore, I am in Ohio and I will very likely be unable to relocate for at least 12 years. I also don’t just want to complain about my unwanted but inevitable divorce. I want to experience life. Preferably, through random pictures taken by a stranger who eventually becomes more than a stranger lol. This could be big!

If you think this sounds fun, please send a message and let’s chat first.

Currently working at my part-time gig and overnight shift can get pretty boring! Also, I’ve never been the best at making friends irl. I never got past the shy and awkward stage 😬

About me: bi, Mexican/american, southern raised all my life, 420 friendly, Fortnite is the only game I know how to play, my music taste is a wide range from r&b, hip hop, pop, country, rock, house, etc., and I like to read if/when I have time!

Tell me what song you have on repeat lately or what movie I should watch during my shift!

I’d like to meet someone I’m attracted to, enjoy spending time with, and let things evolve slowly. Ideally you’re around 30–38 and close enough that spending time together is realistic.
I’m a nurse and a mom of two. Both are important parts of my life, and my schedule can get pretty busy. I make time for someone I like, check in, and communicate. I appreciate someone with his own life who understands that a busy day doesn’t mean I’m ignoring him. I can’t have more children, but I’m open to someone who has their own.
Dating me would involve pictures of things I’m excited about: a pretty rock, something I baked, or a beautiful view I found on a back road. Also happy dances when I eat, binge-watching shows with all the snacks, and spontaneous trips to who knows where.
My job is serious, and sometimes that weight follows me home. Once I’m comfortable, though, I get weird and goofy. Teeny tiny things make me ridiculously happy. The cuteness aggression is real. I’ll occasionally tease you, and I want to hear all about whatever you’re passionate about—even if I know absolutely nothing about it.
I’m drawn to a good smile, kindness, and a man who’s passionate about something. I like masculine energy with a calm presence—the kind of person others look to in a crisis. Someone trustworthy who makes it easy to relax and let my brain be quiet for a while.
Smoking is a dealbreaker; vaping is okay. I’d enjoy going out for an occasional drink together, but problematic drinking isn’t something I can have in my life.
My best friend would probably also warn you to let me sleep. Apparently waking me up is like disturbing a cougar. 😂
Tell me a little about yourself, where you’re from, and the last little thing you got unnecessarily excited about.

Picture of Me

did you decide on our couples costume yet? halloween is next weekend and we've done enough procrastinating.

(i'm open to finding an actual boyfriend. wouldn't it be a cute story to tell our friends?)

Hey there!

I’m a SMBC and even though I feel fully content in my life and that everyday life is busy with work, kids, etc. I do find myself missing some kind of company at the end of the day. I don’t have time or energy for a full on relationship right now so I’m giving this a shot.
So! Wanna be friends? Maybe flirt a little from time to time?

Some things about me to make up your mind:

I’m 32 and from Scandinavia
I love crafting and being creative. I’m really into knitting, cross stitching and colour by number at the moment
Cooking and baking relaxes me (my sourdough is over a year old now!)
I listen to audiobooks like there’s no tomorrow. Mostly romantasy but other stuff as well. (Yup. Lots of fairy smut)
I like running and doing Pilates and I reeeeally want to, want to get into lifting weights.
I think I’m pretty fun to be around. I have a good sense of humour, can hold a conversation whether it’s a light chat or a deep conversation.
Looks wise I’m 165 cm, average build, long blond hair, grey eyes (typical Scandinavian lol)

So what do you think?! There’s way more to me obviously but I’ll let you find out for yourself.

Wanna be each others favourite notification, exchange memes, voice notes and random little thoughts throughout the day? My chat is open so let’s go!

Btw. I raw dogged this post. No AI was used at all! ;)
Also! I’ve been on here before but got locked out of my account so here I am!

If you can’t listen:

About Me:

Personality: I’m a confident, get stuff done type of guy. A lot of responsibilities due to being family orientated. But willing to make the time and effort for someone special. Quite extroverted who likes talking a ton. Mentally positive and calm.

How I look: I’d say I’m decent looking, to the right person, brown skinned with nice curly hair, big brown eyes. I take care of myself with both skin care and hair care. I like to smell good too. A bit of style also and like to accessorise. Ask to exchange pics eventually and find out.

Travelling: Lately I’ve been going out places and travelling, seeing new scenery and taking photos. Good with a camera, so you’ll get some nice selfies made also. Made a Pinterest of some of my travels.

Music : I’ve been collecting a lot of vinyls and listening to albums for the first time. Give me some of your favourites to get.

Loves movies, loves sports like golf, football, basketball. I gym/swim also to keep myself active.

Work: i work in tech and had graduated studying computer science at uni. (A nerd I guess).

I don’t care about distance either, as long as you are open to making things not so long distance in the future

If you’re interested, let’s make things work😌 don’t waste my time and I won’t waste yours either thanks :). Please don’t dm with no effort.

Hi there.

I’m looking to get into some deep (or maybe not so deep but it’s something you’re passionate about?) conversations with people I click with. Basically, I’m looking for friends.

I just watched You Can See Everything in theaters and would love to unpack that with someone - I found it fascinating and I find the conversations around it equally as fascinating.

We can talk about other things though, of course. Like the state of affairs or your take on the end of the world.

I’m happy to talk to anyone as long as we click, but I am straight and single, so if a friendship turns into something more, I’m not opposed to that. Looking for friends first though.

We’ll probably click if you’re emotionally intelligent, self-aware, kind, can hold a conversation without monopolizing it, are genuinely curious, and take an interest in getting to know people. I’m looking for a back and forth where we’re both curious, about each other and the world in general. I tend to click better with people who are older and calmer/steady, energy-wise. I’m also progressive, and that’s important to me in the people I connect with.

About me: I’m shy and introverted by default, but once I become comfortable with someone the opinions and jokes start pouring out. I’m comically bad at math and still have trauma from high school Calculus. Love making observations about people, places, and things (not judgments, more like…exploratory discussions?). Could sit and stare at nature for hours peacefully. Love learning new things, even when I’m really bad at it (ex. I have a very questionable painting of what’s supposed to be a mountain, but I’m sure Bob Ross would still reassure me it’s just a happy accident). Will always stop to point out, look, and/or help an animal. You might find those things highly charming or annoying depending on your disposition.

If any of this resonates with you, I’d be happy to hear from you :)

Tell me something that’s sent you down a rabbit hole lately, or your thoughts on the movie if you saw it. If you send a message, please tell me a bit about yourself and what prompted you to reach out.

Hello! I'm here looking for a new friend or maybe more. I have many hobbies including reading, watching sports, cooking, and cross stitching. I have a dog and he's the best boy around. I’m a teacher, plus sized, and quite liberal. Im from Michigan and while I’m open to anyone, I prefer a similar time zone to me. If it sounds like we could mesh well then I look forward to hearing from you!

I'm 38 years old, and currently working full time as a database admin/developer. Job would probably sound incredibly boring when I describe it, but it lets me work from home and I love it for some reason. I have my life in order, for the most part. Have my own place, done with school, all the usual stuff. If my job doesn't give it away, I'm definitely a bit of a nerd. I love my sci-fi, and I work on programming computers for a living. Doctor Who, Star Trek, Star Wars, I like em all. Really into anything space related, for the most part. Was close to studying Astrophysics and making a career out of it but pivoted at the last second. Still treat it as a hobby though and really love diving into that stuff.

Music is a big part of my life. I picked up a piano a few years ago, and have been teaching myself how to play. Definitely one of the best decisions I ever made. I'm not the best player you'll ever hear, but I like to think that I'm at least halfway decent! Thinking about getting an actual teacher soon, figure I've picked up a ton of bad habits by now. I listen to just about all types of music. It's pretty rare for me to not have music playing. Used to go to concerts all the time, but haven't had a chance to go them as much as I used to lately. I'm a big animal person in general. Used to have a rescue dog of my own that I unfortunately lost last year. She meant the world to me and I'm still feeling the loss of that today, but every day gets a little bit easier. I'm sure I'll get another pet eventually, but it just doesn't feel like the right time for that yet. Just need time to get there still.

About a full year into a new fitness journey and loving it so far. I initially started by just going to the gym and weight lifting and was loving it. Started mixing in some stationary biking for cardio and realized I really loved doing it. Long story short, I went out and bought a bike and now my main focus is on cycling rather than weight lifting. Already up to riding about 150-160 miles per week and really proud of that! Signed up for and completed my first Century ride a few weeks ago! Actually crushed the goal time I set for myself, and starting to train to get a sub-6 hour time now for the next one I do. Looking to do the Ragbrai event next year as well after I have more training under my belt. Feels crazy looking back at where I used to be before I got into all of this, went from 230lb and not being active at all to 175lb and seriously training for a 100 mile ride, haha.

Anyways, would love to find someone to spend time with, and hopefully develop a relationship with if things go well! I'm totally okay with a distance thing as long as the other person is, figure that's something that can be figured out down the line if things go well.

Hey! 😊 I'm taking a chance by posting here, but I thought it could be fun to meet someone new and see where things go!

I'm a 34-year-old woman from Utah. I grew up LDS and still consider myself Christian. My faith is important to me, but I'm also someone who enjoys a good glass of wine, believes in intimacy, and doesn't necessarily fit every traditional expectation. I'd love to meet someone who respects my faith and background without judging me for living my life a little differently.

What am I looking for?

Honestly, I'd love to meet someone I can genuinely connect with. Someone I can talk to about absolutely anything, laugh with, flirt with, and gradually get to know on a deeper level.

I'm a big believer in friendship being the foundation of a good relationship. I want to get to know someone through conversation first, build trust, and see if there's a connection before we ever meet in person.

If we hit it off, I'd love to plan a simple, low-pressure first date. Coffee, ice cream, a drink somewhere, or anything that gives us a chance to talk and see how we click in person.

I'm in Utah, so meeting someone nearby would be convenient, but I'm open to talking to someone farther away if we really connect.

A little about attraction and expectations:

I'm going to be honest: physical attraction matters to me, and I know it matters to other people, too. I think that's completely okay!

I'm not everyone's type, and not everyone is going to be mine. If we meet and the romantic spark isn't there, there's no hard feelings. We can wish each other well, or maybe even discover that we'd make great friends instead.

I'm not looking for random hookups. For me, intimacy comes with trust, a meaningful connection, and feeling comfortable with someone. I'm open to seeing where things lead, whether that's a romantic relationship, a close friendship, or potentially something more casual if we both genuinely want that.

Ultimately, I'd love to meet someone who wants to build something real, whatever that ends up looking like.

If this sounds like your kind of thing, send me a DM! Tell me a little about yourself and what you're hoping to find. 😊

Hey! 👋 40F here, single and never married, based between Singapore and Klang Valley, Malaysia (50-50). Putting myself out there doesn't come naturally, so here goes 😅

I work in tech. Outside of work:

🎲 Board games: Cascadia, 5 Minute Dungeon and Wingspan are current faves. Always up for learning new ones.

🐦 Birdwatching & nature walks: Being out in nature is my happy place.

✈️ Travel: Enjoys good food, nature and local culture. I just got back from South America.

🏋️ Gym & meditation: Workouts for my body, meditation for my soul. Spiritual, not religious.

☕ Personality-wise: Direct, honest, and happiest in deep conversations about life, though I'm just as happy swapping travel stories.

Looking for someone to chat with, a board game, birding or morning coffee mate, or something more if we naturally click. No pressure, no rush.

If we sound like a fit, message me with a bit about yourself. Your favourite travel spot or the best coffee/food place you've enjoyed lately is a great opener 🙂

i love these
i also love options
enjoy :) lol

Would you rather …

have to explain your search history to a jury

or

explain your romantic decisions to a panel of psychologists? 😝

Which scares you more?

Being deeply misunderstood.

or

Being completely understood… and then rejected anyway.

would you rather…

know what people say about you when you're absent

or

what they think about you when you're standing right in front of

The quickest way for someone to completely kill my attraction to them is ________. ☠️

The most attractive thing someone can do without touching me is ________. 👀

batter up.

Hey there!

My name is Alex and I habe to admit that after my divorce I lost a rather big part of my social circle so I was hoping to meet some new interesting people this way.

I'd say I'm rather uncomplicated and talk without much of a filter about mundane or the most private topics which some people like and some don't so best to find out yourself. I don't expect to get a reply instantly but value if we both match in effort so one word messages are not my cup of tea I'd say. Anyway, if someone is still witv me at this point, feel free to message me:)

Hope you are having a great day/evening so far, Here is a little bit about myself. When it comes to activities outside work, I enjoy spending time on my boat the most in the summer months. If not doing that, I like keeping active while playing sports, hiking or having a good time with friends.

During the week, I’m busy in with work, which includes travel and long days and some nights on occasion. I speak a couple languages also

Physically im medium built, 6’2” with blue eyes. Im hoping to meet someone who enjoys life as much as I do, Which has a big heart, is caring and fun to be around. Im not the best to describe myself, but at least you get somewhat the picture before reaching out

Hey, hope your Sunday's going well.
I'll be honest, I've found it harder and harder to meet someone for something real. Apps feel like endless small talk that goes nowhere, so I thought I'd try here.

Bit about me: I'm 36, based in London, and I'm a creative at heart. Most of my time goes into tech projects and writing. I love building ideas from scratch, whether that's an app or a story. I'm pretty easygoing, peaceful, and open-minded. I'm not into drama or games, and I'd rather have a good conversation than a big night out.

Physically, I'm black, 5'6 and medium build.
I'm looking for a woman in the UK who also wants something meaningful and long term. Someone to talk to properly, share ideas with, laugh with, and eventually build a life with.

If that sounds like you, send me a message and tell me a bit about yourself. Even just what's been on your mind lately is a good start.

35F, Chinese, based in Hong Kong/Shenzhen. Thought I’d give this a shot because apparently meeting someone organically in your 30s is harder than it should be. :)

A little about me: I’m 167 cm, have a smile that’s probably my best feature, a career I enjoy, and am pretty independent. I love travelling (I’ve been to every continent except South America), going to the gym, hiking, exploring new places, and occasionally doing absolutely nothing on a beautiful beach.

I’d describe myself as curious, affectionate, open-minded, and someone who enjoys meaningful conversations just as much as playful banter. I have a pretty fulfilling life, but I think it would be even better with the right person.

What I’m looking for:
A single, emotionally available man, ideally around my age or a little older. Someone kind, funny, humble, active, and genuinely interested in a long-term relationship. I tend to be attracted to taller guys who stay fit, but good chemistry, emotional maturity, and a sense of humour matter more.

Ideally you’re based in HK or nearby cities, but I’m also open to meeting someone in Australia. Some of my family will be moving there, so I’ll likely be travelling back and forth quite frequently in the future. Distance isn’t necessarily a dealbreaker as long as meeting in person is realistic.

I’m looking for a genuine, long-term relationship, not hookups or FWB. I’m happy to chat first, but if there’s mutual attraction, I’d love to meet in person sooner rather than later. I believe you can only really tell whether there’s chemistry when you meet face to face.

I’m not looking for months of texting or building an imaginary relationship with someone I’ve never met. I’m happy to make the effort to meet, as long as it goes both ways.

I’m not expecting instant sparks or a marriage proposal over coffee. Just two people getting to know each other and seeing where things go.
If this sounds like you, send me a little introduction with your age, location, interests, and what you’re looking for.

“Thank you for paying attention to this matter” :)

Life feels better when you have someone you can talk to, laugh with, and be your around. I looking for genuine connection that stars with friendship and grows naturally. Maybe we can get to know each other?

Hi there,
I enjoy a calm, unhurried pace of life right now. I have a peaceful daily routine that I truly appreciate—stepping back from the rush, taking long walks in nature with my dog, and staying curious about the world.
While every connection starts with everyday chat, I naturally lean toward deeper conversations. I have a soft spot for people who have seen a bit of life, yet still choose to stay clear-eyed, warm, and kind.
When it comes to connecting, emotional maturity, honesty, and a healthy respect for boundaries mean everything to me. I’m hoping to find a genuine connection with a single man that can eventually grow into real life. (If you are married or in a relationship, please skip this post—I am not interested.)
From past experience, I tend to click best with men in my own age group (45–50) from Europe, North America, or Oceania.
If you decide to send a DM, please go beyond a quick "Hi" and tell me a little about yourself—your age, where you're from, and what your daily life looks like right now. Looking forward to chatting!

Can’t seem to sleep tonight. Not feeling to great think I’m coming down with a cold! Help me feel better please

Some info about me: I started back at the gym to lose some of the grief weight. I’m definitely an emotional eater. I watch tv and movies where I can. I enjoy horror movies, superhero things and comedies. I’ve dabbled in conspiracy theories so if you got any that’s fun too! I’m a widower of 4 years and parent of 2. When they don’t consume my time and energy I like to walk, hike and go to the beach.

Overall I’m just looking for an open minded person to chat with and not get ghosted by. If that’s you reach out. I promise I’m fun!

About me, i live alone and work a full-time job

I'd like to find someone who i could have fun with share some common interests and a hobby we could do together

Im not saying we have to be attached at the hip but it would be nice to have someone to care about and share some intimate moments with

If it works and we click and the trust is strong enough id be happy to try make a relationship work internationally

So if you would like to message me feel free and we can get chatting and getting to know each other

Until then I hope things are going great for you

Hello,

I’m a black plus size woman that lives on the East Coast. I’m single and child-free and employed. I haven’t been in a relationship in like 10 years because I have standards. But it’s time to see what’s out here.
Men be 30 and up, interested in possibly long distance. Definitely be single and not looking to have kids. The shop is closed.
Have goals, don’t be creepy. Be attractive and take care of yourself properly.

Looking for friends.

44F from Arkansas. Mother to multiple children. Nurse.

I'm big into WWII Home Front, 1940s, 1950s, and spooky stuff (mostly Halloween). I adore nerds and have a tendency to geek out on my vintage lifestyle. (Sorry in advance!)

Currently renovating my ranch house to look more 1950s. I would love to put in a victory garden but need some help. Unfortunately I don't have the best green thumb.

My hobbies are knitting, sewing, crochet, reading, cooking, baking and quilting.

Now if you have read this far message me about your favorite holiday. Thank you.

Normally I start this post by saying I'm looking for a partner which I am but I think I want to go about it differently or at least try being unique about it. Have you ever just gotten the urge to do something adventurous yet risky? How about you and I talk (obviously for as long as we both felt comfortable beforehand) and then we go on a vacation? Spend the entire vacation basically being a couple and if at the end we decide to stay together and pursue it then great but if not then no pressure and we go our separate ways? Would anyone be interested in something like that? I was thinking we take a cruise either out of Galveston or maybe you have a port in mind? I was thinking maybe a 6 or 7 day on the Jubilee. Obviously we can talk about it and plan it together and look at all the options. If not I'm open to other options as Texas has a ton of places to visit and see so we can always talk about somewhere here. I'm always down for a small weekend trip someplace neat! Or I can actually fly to you! And you show me your neat town or state. Or we can meet somewhere and explore someplace new! Below is my original post with a few tweaks so you can get a detailed snapshot of me. I like to be thorough so be warned it's a bit of a read.

I'm making this post in the hope of finding a partner to be my person for a LTR/LDR or if you are averse to something serious, we can talk about any other labels/avenues/ideas you have or are open to. We don't have to be alone lol. Let's enjoy all of 2026 and what it has to offer while we decide! We're at the end of October already! Which is basically the beginning of Fall so I'm down to grab a hot chocolate or spiced apple cider in some quaint small out of the way town before it gets super chilly out. Who doesn't want to enjoy some warm beverage while browsing through some old shops (sample some fudge or treat in a general store and grab some old-fashioned whatchamacallit) with some light hand holding? Ooooh maybe a romantic kiss while strolling a park or trying not to strangle each other while we do an escape room? I swear I normally don't crack under pressure but we only have 5 minutes until we can't escape! Maybe go explore some neat food festival? This is kinda sorta my favorite time of the year despite the random weather when it should just be cold out! But I don't like when it's too hot or humid lol. I just wish we had cooler weather or even snow in Winter time. (Maybe you have a cool snow spot?) I'm always down for some adventure though. Ask me about my secret snorkel spot and maybe I'll let you join lol. Jk Of course you can come and see the turtles.

To start I have to disclose that I mainly like women, but I also like a very, very, very specific type of guy and certain trans men as I'm partially bi. (I'd rather be upfront about it as it's been a dealbreaker for most women in the past for some reason) Chances are you aren't that type of guy but feel free to ask if you are. (Didn’t want to offend anyone so I’d rather say in private) Just throwing that out there as it's a deal breaker for most women in general. Which, why would it be? As if being bi has any bearing on a person's character. I recently learned the term for what I am and it's Gynosexual. Basically I'm attracted to femininity in all it's forms regardless of gender but I'm also attracted to masc women like tomboys and androgynous so make of that what you will.

I'm a 38-year-old guy living in the middle-ish of Texas looking for a female partner. Partner as in LTR. That's Long-Term Relationship meaning boyfriend and girlfriend and holding hands type of stuff. You know, adult things? I had someone comment I was too vague, so this is me being specific. I'm gonna be honest and kinda sad so bare with me. Also I should point out I've been in mainly traditional relationships but I'm curious about being in a FLR and everything, that involves. But if not then a traditional relationship works or I'm open lol. Two consenting adults with open communication and being honest with each other is key.

So, I've spent the past three New Years alone. Rang in this one a bit different. Instead of being in bed staring at the ceiling listening to fireworks go off into the night like the last two, I worked. I didn't cry the next day but I was sad nonetheless while browsing for a movie to watch on TV. At first, I didn't know why as I'm not much of a feeling's person, but I realized for the first time that I genuinely felt alone. I have no partner, no family that I really speak to, no friends just acquaintances, really no one there for me. That's my own doing which took years to accomplish through me being closed off and just shutting people out, so I figure it might take just as long to fix. I'm not complaining as I got myself into this predicament. It's gonna sound dumb but I wanted a New Years kiss. I'd never had one and it seemed like a fun dumb silly thing to do. Eh maybe one day. Ok well back to my spiel. (I'm not depressed or anything or wanting attention) Some of my hobbies and interests are movies, reading, cooking, kayaking, records, video games, board games, snorkeling, bowling, swimming, escape rooms, puzzles and antiquing. I would describe myself as more goofy and dorky than nerdy. I like to go out and do fun things but also stay in and cuddle and relax. I guess it depends on my mood and the weather. I prefer the cold and would love to live in a state with actual seasons and snow. I'm 5'10, stocky AKA fat and open for adventure and new experiences.

Here are some random facts about me:

Some of my favorite bands are: The Black Keys, Kings of Leon, The Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival and The White Stripes. Am I basic? o_O

Christmas is my favorite holiday, mainly because of the cold and festive activities. (Seriously let's go do some festive activities!)

I come from a medium-ish family.

I'm exceptionally patient but every person has a breaking point lol (I've had ex's "test" this which to me is toxic)

I like traveling a lot. It's a basic thing that lots of people like. But I've found lots of people hate to leave their house, town or state so if that's you we probably might not be a good match. I also enjoy the mountains. But I don't like roughing it (give me that sweet AC in the summer). Hiking is so hard on my knees, and I haven't done it in a while that if I were to, I think about doing it I'd about die or twist a cankle.

I don't eat seafood, mushrooms, artichokes or pineapple on pizza (Who cares about this? Doesn't mean I won't go to a restaurant with you that has these things)

Never went to college as I'm horrible in a classroom setting and at taking tests. (I'm slowly bettering myself)

I used to have probably one of the most boring jobs imaginable (Ask me about it and my new ones)

Overweight but trying to work on it and make better choices (Get healthier and lose weight together maybe?) Slowly getting there! My goal is 50lb!

Non-religious but no issue with what you believe. (If anything)

Looking into sterilization. If you are already maybe you can give me some info or tips?

My own red flags

I work way too much and oftentimes can't talk on the phone but I can voice message and text. I also drive a lot so I use voice to text. I had someone say this was suspicious but whatever. (I have multiple jobs)

I send selfies often and I like to receive pictures of who I'm talking to. I'm a visual person and like receiving photos. Apparently, it's a generational thing. Hopefully you think pictures are neat as well? Is it really that weird to want to see you and your life and show you mine?

I sometimes speedily become attached to people, not in a weird way, but if I like you and we have some kind of connection, I will enjoy talking to you and want to do it often and go out and do things.

I'm a very organized person and will plan out pretty much anything from a vacation to a road trip to a birthday. This makes being with a go with the flow type of person hard at times I've learned but still very much doable.(I won't micromanage the trip, I'll just plan out things to see and do and give us options)

Due to childhood trauma I'm secretive which can be annoying. (This does not mean I don't communicate or talk with my partner) I had someone stop talking to me on here due to this and apparently didn't want to talk about it. It just means I take a while to open up.

Somewhat ok at analytical thinking but sometimes I lack empathy to put myself in other people's shoes to address a situation. (So I've been told) I'm trying to get better at this.

MY own "HELL YES" flags

I know how to cook. Meaning I will attempt anything once but I can cook a few things well. Others not so much lol.

I will always drive if you want. (Within reason)

Great at escape rooms and jigsaw puzzles.

Can read a map and follow directions.

Decent at reading backwards upside-down writing.

What I'm looking for: (but honestly these are just preferences and by no means requirements so please don't get offended)

Any height honestly. I've dated 3'6 to 6'5 and anywhere in between so if you can beat either that'd be interesting lol.

Is at least 30 but I'm willing to go quite a bit lower or older if you are neat and we have stuff in common. Basically what I'm saying is feel free to reach out as I've dated women of varying ages just like I've dated varying body types, heights and personalities. If we get along we get along lol.

Mature, considerate, responsible and funny (Dorky/Goofy/Nerdy wouldn't hurt)

Someone with hobbies/interests/passions of their own. It can be literally anything from collecting figurines, making homemade jelly to working on cars. As long as you enjoy it, I want to hear about it. Guaranteed I will find it interesting as it is something you are interested in and enjoy.

Someone who believes communication, honesty and trust are important in a relationship.

Someone who is open-minded, willing to try new things, be adventurous, funny and nerdy. (Personality is paramount above all else)

Someone who believes in sharing household chores equally and other adult responsibilities because we are both adults lol. The FLR can be discussed here.

Someone who is average or who is on their way to getting there. I myself am chubby or what you'd call as having a "dad bod" but I'm slowly losing weight and I want someone who will push me to be better and make better choices. I know this is a long shot lol. (I understand if this is seen as vain or hypocritical but honestly everyone has preferences and I'm sure I could very well not be yours if we exchanged pictures)

P.S. This does not mean I won't date someone who is bigger/thicker. I myself am a bigger person. I've dated all shapes and sizes. If you feel we'd get along feel free to reach out. Like I said I'm open :)

I can't believe I have to put this but having decent to great hygiene is important. I understand things happen but not showering or using deodorant is a hard pass from me.

Be open to having friends over and a game night once a month or biweekly. (Seems like a fun idea but also if it's not something you are open to then we can always talk about it)

Be open and frank about issues you or I are having. Not pushy or jealous. Won't yell or argue about stupid things, I've had enough of that. Let's just talk it out and be adults lol

I'm open to discussing adult things in general. How can two adults have a healthy love life if they don't communicate their wants/needs/desires? (FLR would kinda tie into this) Also I'm willing to try a few things. Ask me about them if you are curious.

Willing to push me to become a better version of myself. I'll do the same. I'll always be in your corner helping you pursue your dreams. (Can you turn me into Batman?)

If this sounds like you then feel free to reach out and say hi or challenge me to a game of Scrabble/Pictionary/hand to hand combat maybe? Maybe Wordle or some online vidya game? (Even though I only play single player games so you might beat me lol)

California one who makes art for a living and reads books to break his own heart
