local to New York City area or fairly close

Hello,
I'm a 45 year old guy here in downtown NYC. I'm in decent shape, really good career, mentally balanced, healthy, and looking for an ongoing connection that, I hope, can blossom into something real. I do enjoy a little bit if kinky fun and I’d like to incorporate that, at least to some degree, in the bedroom (awkward when I hit it off and the other person is completely vanilla and not into kink at all).

Seeking something ongoing, but starting slow. Feel like I have my life together, feel good about life and have always been a happy person. I'm white, clean cut, suit and tie for work but casual otherwise. I've been burned before so I'm looking to start slow, as our busy schedules allow, and then see what unfolds naturally.

Other things about me: I really enjoy good conversation, speakeasies, reading especially about public health issues, I enjoy attempting to be health-conscious, studying pop culture, I like to think I excel at baking healthy snacks. I am also a huge jazz and film buff, pretty big music fan, like being a foodie, keeping up with current events. I like good talks, snuggles, laughing. I am also interested in the impact that social media has on human relationships. I speak a second language but... am pretty rusty!

You: Single, kinda relaxed, mentally balanced, average body type (preference is not BBW, apologies), are curious about kinky explorations down the line if we click, and perhaps some experience with that. I don't usually jibe too well with people who are clingy, and being pretty drama free is important to me. Doing something productive with life will be helpful. Able to laugh.

If you write please be sure to state your age, location, and two or three things about yourself (a physical description goes a long way), and we can start a conversation and see where it leads

thanks ;)
