I've had a hard time with online dating. I feel like I don't stand out enough to warrant a response, and I don't have a shirtless picture with 6 pack abs at the top of a mountain to make up for it.

What I am is an incredibly honest and sweet guy who wants to find someone I can put a lot of time and energy into and hopefully get that in return. I don't want to say I want to get "obsessed" with someone, because that feels like a red flag, but I feel like when you really like someone you want to spend all your time with them and they are all you can think about. I want a person who can't stop thinking about me and wants to talk to me all the time.

My circumstances afford me a lot of free time, I don't have much to do during the day besides playing video games and I don't have too many people to talk to so I have gotten quite lonely. Ideally I'd like someone I can drink and play video games with, Especially overwatch or BG3, but I have tons of others.

My background is in engineering, I have a degree in computer engineering and worked as a SCADA engineer designing control systems for power plants. I have a passion for computers and of course video games.

I recently broke up with my online girlfriend of 8 months. That has been the longest relationship I have ever had online or IRL, but to be honest it felt like it ended long before that because we sort of lost mutual interest in each other, and just kept going because nobody wanted to be the bad guy and end it. I have very little relationship experience and am actually a virgin. I've always felt kind of unwanted by women even though I know I have a lot to offer.

I don't mind women who are my age or older, but I prefer younger women because I'm not sure my emotional maturity matches my age, nor my lifestyle. I like to stay up late and drink and I don't have to worry about work or kids or things like that, so I just think I would get along better with someone younger, someone who has more time for me and can maybe be more tolerant of my ignorance in relationships.
