Note: I'm based in North Yorkshire but I'm in London this weekend.

I’ve always been pretty socially awkward and often find it difficult to connect with people - I suspect there’s some undiagnosed disorder in me somewhere but I’ve never really had it checked out. I’m also generally a pretty anxious person - I’ve had opportunities to lose my virginity in the past but my anxiety always got in the way. This is why I’ve turned to this sub once again; maybe organising something casual will put less pressure on me to ‘perform’, as it were.

Onto the physical stuff: I’ll put it out there now that I’m pretty overweight, so if that’s not your bag then don’t say I didn’t warn you. However, I am trying very hard to lose weight, including going for regular walks and using VR fitness apps (10lbs down so far!). I’m also pretty short (5’6) with short black hair, brown eyes and a short beard.

Hobby-wise, I’m a pretty typical nerd. I’m big into music, movies and gaming. I also enjoy museums, art galleries and all things spooky.

What am I looking for from you? Patience and understanding, mostly. Putting myself out there like this makes me incredibly nervous and I’ll probably be a little weird about it all. Ideally I’d also like you to be around the same age as me, and around my area (I’m based in North Yorkshire but I’m willing to travel within reason). I also wouldn’t be able to host (currently staying with family for financial reasons) but would be willing to get a hotel if you also can’t host.

If you’re interested, please message with your age, general location, a little bit about yourself and any questions you might have. Thanks!

Edit: any messages that don’t adhere to the above will be ignored. This makes anxious enough without potential scammers messaging me.
