I'll start with some self-awareness: I'm awful at true "casual" dating. I can't swipe on someone on an app based on looks alone, go out after maybe two or three sentences of superficial texting, and "hope for the best" that we vibe upon meeting in person. Even on a first date with no guarantee of leading to a second, I need that authentic connection with someone, to know we value the same things in life and in how we treat other people. I need to be able to hold an intellectual, thought-provoking give-and-take conversation with her, know what she's passionate about and what makes her tick. I prioritize genuine affection and intimacy with all partners, no matter how emotionally invested the arrangement itself is. I miss having that companionship and kinship with someone, and I'm hoping to find a woman here who misses that, too.

With that in mind, we all have physical needs, and I'm looking for someone who is trying to scratch the same itches and likewise seeks a concurrent and symbiotic physical and emotional connection. I want someone who pushes my boundaries both intellectually and sexually, but never beyond my comfort zone, and I want someone who wants that in return. Even if our interpersonal relationship stays more platonic, I still want to give each other the chance to grow, individually and together.

So, if you're game, let's go out tonight, have some drinks, maybe dinner, enjoy each other's company, and see where things go. If we click, I'd love to explore a recurring arrangement, but I'm open to a one-off as long as it includes the depth I've alluded to here. Ideally, I'm hoping to go out tonight with someone, but I'm free tomorrow evening, as well. If this post is still up, I'm still looking.

I'm white, 5'9", single, clean, and DDF with recent results. I live alone in DC proper and don't have a car, so I prefer to host, but I'm open to going your way if you're not too far away. I'm seeking women age 21 , single or consenting ENM, child-free, also clean, and also DDF. Preferences are age 25 , on some sort of birth control, and with recent STI results of her own. I'm not interested in leaving the Reddit platform before meeting, and I'm willing to exchange sfw face pics here after some preliminary chatting. Looking forward to hearing from you!
