Hey there! I hope you're having a lovely weekend so far. Thanks for checking out my post. I have a tendency to ramble when I write these kinds of things, so I'm just gonna get right to it and try breaking this down into some easily digestible bullet points.

• I'm not looking for anything short-term or casual. I want to build an actual connection. It's fine if that connection is long distance/online, but I just want to actually get to know you and forge a genuine bond. So realistically speaking, it might be a little difficult if you're 12 time zones away, but hey, as long as we make an effort to communicate, that's all that matters.

• As the title says, I'm a nerd. Most of my free time is spent playing video games, binge watching stuff, or falling down YouTube rabbit holes. That said, I still love to be active and spend time outdoors. I enjoy running, hiking, biking, all that fun stuff. But by and large, I'm a homebody who would prefer to stay in and play a cozy game like Stardew Valley or Minecraft. I like all kinds of games, though, from horror to action to fighting to RPGs. That said, Zelda will always be my favorite game series.

• So why am I looking to connect with someone from Gen Z? I like to think I'm young at heart, even as my occasionally achy back and creaky knees try to remind me I am in fact in my mid-30s. But I've found that I just tend to connect better with younger women in terms of interests, hobbies, values, etc. The energy and spark and zest for life are all very fun as well. Plus, I think it's enlightening to talk about how our experiences growing up in different generations shaped us. I can introduce you to some classic movies or shows or games from the 90s while maybe you can show me some more recent stuff that I've missed out on.

I think that sums things up well enough hopefully. I'm more than happy to exchange pictures in private. So if you think we might get along and you'd like to chat more, feel free to send a message my way. Thanks for reading. Take care!
