Hi,

I'm hating the journey through these digital corridors and dating apps, hoping to connect with someone who appreciates the nuances of life. Online dating might have pushed me to the edge of near insanity, yet here I am, still navigating. Currently moving at a slower tempo, but anticipating a pickup soon. In the meantime, I am seeking more than just words. Beyond the surface, I crave natural conversations and intimacy that flow effortlessly, paving the way to a profound connection. I know the post is lengthy, but I like to be thorough.

About me:

A Texan through and through, with roots in small towns and a current residence in the suburbs. I love Texas, but the future might hold new states and cities as I pursue my goal of becoming a physician. I am of South Asian descent, which adds a touch of cultural richness to the mix.

Hobbies/Interests: I believe a connection is more important to a relationship than sharing the same hobbies/interests. It would be nice to have similar interests, but it's not necessary. - Movies and TV (Sci-fi, horror, and crime): "Inception", "Godzilla Minus One", "The Thing" (1982), "Shutter Island". - Exercising, especially running. I love running outside, especially in parks and on trails. I do enjoy lifting too, and I attend the gym frequently. - Food (Thai, Mediterranean, and Indian). I enjoy exploring various cuisines at restaurants and love trying new recipes when cooking at home. - Reading. "Percy Jackson...", "Eragon", "Skullduggery...", "Robinson Crusoe", "Small is Beautiful Economics as if People Mattered" - Boardgames (Arboretum & Mysterium) and videogames (on occasion) (Skyrim, Infamous, GoW, Horizon Zero Dawn)
- Nature-y stuff. I find solace in the outdoors, wandering through serene landscapes and appreciating nature's abundant beauty. - Sports (Tennis, volleyball, disc golf) - Learning a language

I would eventually like to pickup a few more interests such as learning how to play the piano and the violin. Who knows? Maybe we can pickup something together....

What I seek in a partner:

I am searching for someone who values a healthy and active lifestyle, someone who takes care of themselves physically. While physical compatibility is important, I value diverse body types and prioritize a shared commitment to overall wellness. Intimacy and romance are significant to me, placing high importance on physical affection. Building stronger connections through openness and vulnerability is crucial to me, and I deeply appreciate the intimacy it fosters. I desire a partner who values companionship and reciprocity, understanding that mutual effort and appreciation are fundamental. I'm drawn to qualities like open-mindedness, calmness, and versatility in a potential partner. I just want a lot of sugar, a dash of spice, and chemical X.

Personality:

I consider myself a blend of reserved and adventurous, leaning towards seriousness yet showcasing a playful side when I'm comfortable with someone. Sarcasm and good-natured teasing are my occasional indulgences. I find comfort in being a homebody, but I do emerge from my cave. I strive to go the extra mile for my partner.

Physical Description:

Currently, my hair cascades in mid-neck-length waves with a subtle curl at the end. I am a fan of the clean-shaven aesthetic, but I occasionally sport well-maintained stubble. My complexion is a true caramel that is complemented by dark brown eyes. I have a slim-to-average physique with broad shoulders and a visible jawline. I stand at a height of 5'7".

Religion & Politics:

I identify as a non-resistant nonbeliever, akin to agnosticism, a term I stumbled upon during my college philosophy course, and it resonated with me. Although I grew up attending a Christian church and my undergraduate school was Christian-oriented, my parents practice Hinduism, offering me exposure to various beliefs. However, I'm personally not religious. I'm open-minded towards all religious affiliations and welcome the opportunity to learn about different faiths.

Similarly, my political stance isn't easily boxed into conservative or democratic ideologies. I value the continuous evolution of my political beliefs, emphasizing independent thinking and the avoidance of polarizing partisan politics. I believe in the importance of being challenged to foster growth and maintain my autonomy of thought and action.

Kids & Pets:

I've made the decision not to have children. For me, it's about prioritizing my partner, hobbies, and career. It's a personal lifestyle choice that allows me to dedicate myself fully to these areas. My partner holds the top spot in my life, and I couldn't imagine it any other way.

I opt not to have pets due to lifestyle constraints, financial considerations, and personal preferences. I simply have no interest in having pets, but I'd be willing to accommodate.

• I value consistent communication. I believe regular conversation forms a stronger connection. If you're not interested, honesty is appreciated – I won't take it personally. Feel free to reach out. I will provide a face picture in chat.
