First of all, the title says North Carolina. I live in South Carolina near the border, and am moving to North Carolina (Fayetteville, Whiteville, Lumberton area) in the next 4-10 months. I'm currently buying my dream home, and need to finish the remodel before moving in.

Who I am looking for:
I am looking for a long term relationship with a woman who is searching for her forever man, a submissive looking for her forever dom, and a person who wants to find their best friend. I am demi, so it takes getting to know you and establishing an emotional connection for me to become physically attracted to someone. I don't have a physical type - I don't care about height/weight/race. I care about the person and character. I am looking for someone who is open minded, a good communicator, honest, and (once exclusivity is established) faithful. I want someone who values herself, and can see the value their partner brings to the relationship, and is willing to put in the time and effort to grow that relationship.

Who I am:
37yo male, 5'7", about 260lb (and dropping - yay GLP1 inhibitors). I enjoy reading, swimming, blacksmithing, hiking, musicals, travel, PC gaming, and spoiling my pets (dog and two cats). I am up for a night on the town as much as I am down for a night cuddling on the couch watching movies. I am looking to either start or inherit a family with my partner - becoming a father is important to me. I am an open book - what you see is what you get. I am stable emotionally, physically, and financially. I am open and transparent about my life, thoughts, and emotions. I am a good listener, and a good sounding board for ideas. Most of all, I am loyal and always there for my friends and family. I always try and look past the issues of the moment, and look towards long term goals and fulfillment.

Kinky side of it all:
I am a bit of a potluck kind of dom (95% of the time). Largely what gets me going is getting you going. I have a very strong protective streak, so helping my sub become or remain her best version of herself is a goal of mine. I am looking for some style of D/s both in and out of the bedroom - exactly what that looks like can be a fun exploration for us together. Other than that, if she's a pet, I can be her handler; if she's a brat, I can be her wrangler; if she's a little/middle, I can be her daddy; if she's a masochist, I can be her sadist.

If you are interested, I would like to chat.
