Hello! I am looking for a relationship that can grow. I have enough people in my social circle and want to share life with someone that is emotionally available and ready for a relationship with both people putting effort into getting to know each other. I get bored quickly with just having it be one-sided or monosyllable conversations. I find intelligence attractive just as much as physical beauty.

As an individual I enjoy traveling (been to about 20 countries), play video games but not obsessed with it, watch a vast array of series and movies on multiple streaming services, going to different shows/musicals in the surrounding cities, learning more about the world as I complete courses for my second graduate degree, looking at what opportunities my TEFL Certification will open.  This summer I am got back into scuba diving, making recipes and dishes that I experienced while traveling, learning Tagalong, progressing with my second grad degree, riding my motorcycle, working with my adopted hound in private and group classes, continuing to eat healthier and go to the gym a bit more.  I have learned a lot about myself for I was over 300 lbs and now down to 240 and working my way down to 170 by eating healthier and now adding a gym regime.

I want to share laughs, memories, trips abroad, having late night movie themed nights, cooking dinner together with a slow dance break, and being vulnerable with each other but feeling safe and at "home" in each other.

I am looking for someone in the US or worldwide if they are willing to relocate if we fall for each other. I plan on retiring in 4 years and traveling abroad with my hound. Also, I do work in law enforcement (no ACAB people), a combat veteran, I would consider myself liberal, and do not believe in religion. All in all, a walking contradiction with Black Mirror flair and Gryffindor energy!!!! 😊

Please include a pic of yourself as I have done the same. Thank you for reading and hope you are out there!
