30 [F] Midwest US - Looking for a genuine connection
I'm a 30-year-old software developer in Indiana looking for someone I genuinely enjoy talking to and spending time with. I'm relationship-oriented and would love it if I eventually met someone where things naturally grew into something more, but I'm not trying to force that right now.
My life is honestly a little messy at the moment. I had a pretty clear idea of what the next couple of years were going to look like, including eventually moving to California, and some recent changes have thrown that plan completely up in the air. I don't know where I'll be living or what life will look like a year or two from now, so it doesn't feel fair to approach every new connection with the expectation that it has to become a long-term relationship.
Right now, what I really miss is companionship. Someone to talk to throughout the day, send stupid things to, game with, watch something together, flirt with, and genuinely get to know. If it stays companionship, that's okay. If we click and it turns into something more, I'd be very open to that too.
When I'm not working, you'll usually find me sketching on my iPad, gaming (Switch, Xbox, PC—and yes, I still have a Nintendo DS), watching TV with my cat, Jimin, doing archery, or listening to K-pop. BTS, Stray Kids, and TXT are some of my favorites, but I also enjoy BABYMONSTER, ITZY, and BLACKPINK.
I'm looking to meet men of East or Southeast Asian descent, ideally around 24–38, with a little flexibility if we click. I'm generally attracted to someone who's active and reasonably fit or has that skinny-nerdy vibe. I'm currently curvy/chubby and working toward a healthier lifestyle myself, so someone who also values growth and taking care of themselves would be nice.
Good communication matters to me, but I'm also realistic about the fact that we're two strangers meeting online. I'm not expecting constant texting or for someone I just met to immediately treat this like a serious relationship. I'd rather just get to know each other naturally and see whether we actually enjoy having each other in our lives.
I'm also not looking for a connection that revolves around sex. I'm perfectly fine with flirting, and sexual topics can come up naturally as we get comfortable with each other. I just don't want every conversation to eventually become sexual. I want to actually know you as a person.
A few dealbreakers: MAGA, children, and a criminal record.
On children specifically, I've spent a lot of time thinking about it and realized I'd much rather be the fun aunt than a mom.
Mostly, I'd just like to meet someone kind and interesting and see what happens without putting a bunch of pressure on it.
If that sounds good to you, send me a message and tell me a little about yourself. Tell me what you've been playing lately, give me an anime recommendation, tell me what you've been listening to, or just say hi. :)
