Hey, I'm Joe, 31. Live in East Sussex. I’ve lived a pretty isolated life, never been very confident, and it has held me back in a lot of ways. I’m ready to put myself out there at last.
I want to meet someone special and do some cutesy stuff together. I’ve never been in a relationship, late bloomer, I guess? But it does mean I come baggage-free! it also means I lack experience, and I’ve got a lot of catching up to do, and I hope I won’t be judged for that.. I think I’m worth it!

It has taken me a long time to feel ready, and I’ve got a lot of love to give. I’m kind, have always been very thoughtful, and tend to put others before myself, which hasn’t always been the best thing. I’m learning to love myself; you can only accept the love you feel like you deserve, and I’m only just realising I deserve better.

I started losing weight a while ago; I was 260 lb, and I’ve lost nearly 60 so far. I’m a work in progress; I’ve still got a way to go, and my goal weight is around 155. I know I’ll get there, and it would be lovely to grow emotionally, shrink physically, and improve with somebody. I want to share the ups and downs of life and be there for each other, cheering each other on! Maybe I’m boring, but I don’t smoke and very rarely drink. I’d like to find somebody the same. I would really prefer to meet somebody in the UK as meeting up eventually would be important to me. I want the cuddles on the sofa, to get out of the house a bit more, etc! I am fine with something more casual starting out, but ideally leading to something more serious down the line.

I love animals, I have a french bulldog called Winnie and I adore her, I spend far too much time scrolling through videos/pictures of cuteness and it would be nice to have someone to occasionally spam with the best of it!

Any questions, just ask. I tend to be a bit of an oversharer, so I guess I’m an open book! Try me.

I really like voice calls; happy to video call too/swap selfies early as attraction is important. I'm 5'4, 207 lbs., working on losing my final 45 lbs., usually have some facial hair, and wear glasses. I value clear communication and honesty. I'd like to be up front with each other from the start about our intentions.
