Hi! My name is Ari. Technically I live in northern Virginia, but more people know of D.C. and I'm very close to it anyway. I'm also fine with LDRs too though. Here is a post that is way longer than I thought it was, but I hope the bullet points make it an easier read.

Stuff I like:

• Video games. I play a lot of different things. Mostly shooters when I'm playing alone though. I play on xbox, switch, and pc.
• Streaming. I only started very recently, so it's mostly me talking to myself. I still enjoy it though.
• Music. I absolutely love music. My favorite genres are funk, rock, metal, and some rap and electronic. My most recent obsession is Aesop Rock.
• Learning guitar and bass. I just started trying to learn, so I kinda suck right now.
• Magic the gathering. Usually it's my way to destress at the end of the week.
• Watching stuff. Mostly I watch youtube, but I also enjoy movies, tv shows, and anime occasionally. In fact I work at a movie theater. Though we don't really show the popular movies.
• Roleplaying games. I used to play one called pathfinder, which I think is very similar to D&D. But recently I've been playing a game called blades in the dark.
• Cats. I absolutely love cats. My family has three of them but one of them is mine. Her name is maddie and she is so adorable.
• Walks. I just like exploring towns or nature. Abandoned places are absolute favorite to go to.

And I'm sure there's more that I like, but that's what I can think of off the top of my head right now. Next I guess I should talk about some facts about me. Sadly not fun facts, just basic info facts.

Basic info fact things:

• I'm 5'5"
• I'm mixed race
• I have long dark hair and some facial hair (I'd be happy to share a picture once we get to know each other)
• I think I have an average body.
• I don't smoke, drink, or do weed or drugs. I don't mind if you do though.
• I wear all black except for work. I honestly have no idea how my wardrobe became only black clothes, but that's how it is for now.
• I have autism. I don't think it affects me too much socially. But it does mean I am a bit of a picky eater though I am really trying to try new foods.
• I could possibly have mental disorders that haven't been diagnosed yet. I'm still on my mental health journey so bear with me while I learn more about myself (and hopefully get meds if they would help me).
• I'm an atheist. I don't mind if you are religious or spiritual. I just don't believe in any higher powers myself.

Now I should probably talk about what I'm looking for. The only things that would be a deal breaker I think would be if you're not looking for a long-term relationship, and if your non-monogamous. I want a relationship that will last a lifetime, and I think I'd be far too jealous to share my partner. Here are some things that would be nice but none of these are necessary.

Bonuses I'd like in a partner:

• Likes things I like too. It would help to have some common ground, but I also like learning about peoples interests so it isn't too big of a deal if we don't have much in common.
• Likes voice calls and/or playing games together. Especially If we live far away from each other. I'll play pretty much anything, so I'd be happy to be your gaming buddy.
• Can teach me bass or guitar. (I'm joking... kinda)

Well this whole thing was much longer than I thought. If you read all the way through thanks so much! I hope to hear from you!
