This is going to be long, sorry. But you're under no obligation to read all of it... or any of it, for that matter.

I'm going to say right now that I'm not everyone's cup of pumpkin juice. I've been told I'm an acquired taste. Whether that's true is up to you to decide, I suppose. Speaking of you, I've been looking for you for a long time. I've been down a few dead ends, but I remain hopeful. I know I will find you, the question is just when. But I will never stop waiting, looking, hoping. I will either find you or die trying. I'm here looking for the real deal, but I also have my own definitions of what that means. I seek true partnership.

The first half of my life was pretty wild and now I'm looking for more of a quiet life. I have dreams of being settled somewhere comfortable living a simple and relatively predictable domestic life, preferably with an introverted homebody like myself. In my dreams we're always surrounded by cats, but dogs work too. I have a cat. He's as lonely for you as I am. We're both just sort of wandering through life, suffering because you're not with us.

About me: Half-Sicilian, divorced, no kids, INFP, a C-PTSD survivor, loner/introvert, cat dad, writer/musician, bookworm, inked, somewhat pierced, and an utter hopeless romantic. I love history and documentaries and comedy and Netflix and literature and old movies from the 40s and Harry Potter and Star Wars and LOTR and traveling and being a homebody/hermit. I work two jobs, one as a substitute teacher, the other as a remote book designer/typographer. I spend most of my life in pajamas. I cook the best spaghetti and meatballs you will EVER eat in your life. Period.

I wish I could meet a woman who would just love me for what I am. I come with a lot of issues but I also come with a lot of love. So much love. So much to give. And I’m just aching to give it to someone.

If you're a HP fan, lead with your house, please. I'm very interested. Slytherin here, and proud.

PS. I seek a woman who not only still believes in marriage but is romantic and old fashioned enough to actually desire it. If that's not you, I'm not for you.

UK only.
