I'm looking for a serious, long-term romantic relationship.

I know it's not something you wave a wand and make happen, but I ask that anyone who replies to this post be open to that. And as soon as one of us or both of us realize, after getting to know the other person, that's no longer on the table, we be honest with each other and decide where to go next. That could mean friendship, that could mean we part amicably.

I'm in Maine and it'd be nice and surprising to meet someone on Reddit actually from here, but I'm open to USA and Canada as well.

To me a relationship requires open communication, honesty, making the other person know they are valued and appreciated, and establishing/respecting boundaries.

• I love movies and horror movies especially, let's get scared together. Letterboxd is a rabbit hole I jumped into gladly.

• I make a lot of dry corny jokes, dad jokes, awful (so bad they're good, if you ask me) puns. And I love when someone can annoy me on purpose. Being humbled/called out on my nonsense is honestly one of my favorite things.

• Speaking of honesty, I try to be as honest as possible and am a firm believer in communication. So much stress and hassle in life can be avoided with communication.

• I love words and I take Scrabble way too seriously. I'd love to find someone who does as well.

• I'm an atheist so if that's a deal-breaker for you I understand.

• Physically I'm tall, dad-bod physique and I learned in lockdown I actually can grow a beard.

• I'm a big fan of voice calls on discord in addition to texting, that's my go-to app if we end up moving off Reddit.

About you:

• Sarcasm. Just general smartassness is a lovely quality.

• Opinionated. We all have opinions, and the more the merrier.

• If you laugh at your own jokes, we're already best friends.

• Politically liberal/progressive because that's what I am.

• Be around my age.

• Something I've figured out recently is I'm not currently looking for someone with kids of their own already.

I don't expect someone to be perfect, because I'm not. But maybe we're perfect for each other.

Feel free to word vomit in a PM if chat isn't your thing. But if chat is your thing, still tell me about yourself, you know?
