We're strangers. We've never met. But I'm kind of sick of being alone. And I don't really like the idea of nor have the patience for a cliche "first date."

What if we just skipped the pleasantries and met up on Valentines Day and pretended to be a long-term couple that's already in love?

Sure, maybe it's little bit of an act/roleplay. But let's actually do it for real.

Let's get dressed up. Go out to a nice dinner. Maybe some drinks. Hold hands. Public displays of affection. Call each other pet names. Convince everyone we are a couple.

Then if the mood is right maybe it ends one of our couches, or beds, or showers.

Sound fun?

I'm 34M, white, single, educated, employed, successful, social, vaccinated, normal, and have hobbies/interests. I've never been married, don't have kids, I have my own place and live alone on the North Side of the city. I'm about as eligible of a bachelor as it gets, and I don't have any relationship baggage. I have a car and can easily host or travel.

You: I'm open to a lot of different types and ages. Anyone 18-60 should give it a shot. I prefer if you be intelligent/ambitious. Shy or inexperienced is totally okay. But at least be a good communicator and be somewhat excited about this! There needs to be chemistry. Be in the city or nearby. And understand basic geography and know where you are and how to get places. Oh, and don't be a Republican.

I admit, this would be extra fun with an age gap aspect. Someone much younger who would typically be inappropriate for me to be in a relationship with. Someone who makes people double take when we are out to dinner on our Valentines Day date. Someome who could be mistaken for me intern, student, neighbor, younger cousin, something like that (not quite daughter, I'm not that old).

Older could be fun too if it makes sense.

If you can't share your location or age in the first message I'm going to assume you're spam.

Would love to know what you'd wear on our date...
