Hey there!

28M from the UK here looking to meet somebody new! I figured as whilst I don't have a hard time meeting new people, I've always been a hopeless romantic, and generally avoid traditional dating.

What am I looking for?

Ideally, I'd love to someone to share new things with; inspire and be inspired by, taking things slow as friends, and hopefully developing into something more if there’s anything these. If not, just making a new friend is fine with me! The usual stuff stuff would be nice: texting, voice / video chats, and then eventually meeting. I love passionate people, and I care deeply about the people in my life, and try to be their biggest cheerleader, encouraging them to pursue new things, and hopefully, leaving a positive impact on them. :).

Looks-wise, I'm 5' 10 (for real I promise), and pretty skinny (I'm working on it!). I have long brown-hair that I keep tied up most of the time and glasses. I also have a tattoo and several piercings on my ears / nose. I like to think I have a good taste in fashion, and probably dress a bit more 'alternative', but nothing too crazy. Happy to send pictures when you message!

A bit about me!
My life is pretty stable. I have a decent number of friends who I deeply care about, a 9 year long career as a software developer, my own place, and two cats; Kimchi & Nori. I’m in the best mental headspace right now, and generally love where I am in life. But finding my person to share it with would be a welcome addition!

📚 I’m a super passionate person, and get a lot of my fulfilment through learning new things and teaching others. Due to ADHD, interests fluctuate in intensity, but photography, houseplants, and interior design are the ones that’ve stuck! I've also been known to be a bit of a workaholic, but I'm actively working on finding a healthier balance, so that I don't become one of those people where it consumes their identity.

🖌️ In an attempt to find more creative outlets, I’m also learning about 3D modelling / printing / Architecture in my spare time! I'm also hoping to start pottery, so that I'm able to make my own ceramics! (I'm a sucker for aesthetic homewares and cute lil cups!!). I also recently bought a drum machine so that I can learn how to make ambient electronic music, and would love to get into modular synths once I know more!

☀️ My happy place is when I’m surrounded by plants with a cat on my lap, or going for walks out in nature, and finding a nice quiet spot to read, or take photos!

Im very passionate about music too, and I would absolutely love to find someone who has similar taste, and doesn’t mind me bombarding you with my latest finds, playlists, or being dragged record hunting! Some of my current favourites include:

Aphex Twin
Boards of Canada
MF DOOM
Lorn
Susumu Yokota
Martyn Yussef Dayes Alfa Mist
Burial

About You

I'm not picky when it comes to looks, if the past is anything to go off, I fall for minds, not bodies! Forming a meaningful connection and getting to know someone on an emotional level often leads to attraction for me.

Whilst I don’t mind casually playing video games, and definitely love time at home, if you’re the kind of person who finds it difficult getting away from the screen, it probably won’t work out.

I’m also not looking to have kids or dogs (I love the latter a lot, but they just don’t fit my current lifestyle with too anxious housecats!). This is pretty much my only dealbreaker.

Also, Reddit wont let me post without putting the SFW tag. Please disregard! (Will obviously be SFW unless we both state otherwise!)

Thanks for taking the time to read ✨
