Hi! It's been a while since I've tried my luck in romantic endeavors—and I'm admittedly a little bit nervous to put myself out here in this way—but I'm hoping it'll be worthwhile. I'll begin by saying that I'm hoping to find someone to develop a meaningful connection with that evolves into a committed, monogamous relationship. I long for a partner in life who I can regard as the dearest person to me—and for that sentiment to be mutual.

I'm very much an introverted, lighthearted and curious person. I envision a relaxing, childfree lifestyle—with also traveling, sightseeing and experiencing what the world has to offer. I live a fairly straight-edge lifestyle—as in I don't drink, smoke or do drugs of any kind. I'm politically left-leaning and firmly atheist. I'm as honest as I can be and greatly prefer someone who is the same in that regard. I'm fairly "vanilla" intimacy-wise. I'd like to get m arried someday. My general interests are landscape photography, video games, anime, horror, thriller, true crime, high fantasy and electronic music.

I'm black American and a little on the heavier side—but still at least a little bit cute from the proper angles, I promise ^/jk I have a fairly average-looking face. I'm around 5'6" or 167cm height-wise. I have long hair and always wear glasses. I currently reside in the southeastern USA (get me out—I long for a change of scenery and political atmosphere.)

I long for wholesomeness, meaningful conversations, silliness and affection. I long for someone to look forward to talking and spending time with. I long for someone to become an important part of my life and for these sentiments to be mutual. What are the odds of my soulmate finding me from this Reddit post? Presumably low, but hopefully not zero.

You might be who I'm hoping to meet if you're completely single, monogamous, childfree, STD-free, emotionally available, never before m arried, and an introverted nerdy-ish man who shares the same values as me and resonates with what I've written. Please be a citizen of the USA, Canada, Europe, New Zealand or Australia, within the ages of 25-31 and able to meet in-person reasonably soon (within a few months)/regularly.

Please send me a private message instead of a "chat."

I look forward to meeting you.
