Right, I'm going to cut to the chase. I'm done being "casual" and I want something that lasts. What I'm looking for is something I'd call a romantic best friend or a kindred spirit. Not thinking of marrying yet haha but I'm sick of being on my own and I want my own person to do things with, go to places with, hold hands, run my fingers through his hair, look into his eyes and just melt. I'm very much love deprived so I'm after a wholesome experience with a kind being who gets me. I'm wanting a monogamous partnership which includes platonic friendship as well as crazy passionate nsfw stuff. I have never been in a relationship before so I do not want to jump into anything straightway but I do not want to be fwbs or ons or casual fucking even if it might sound a tad bit tempting. I'd like to get to know you more, establish a positive friendship, take time, "test romance" and then put my foot forward. Dating apps do not work for me because I'm conventionally not quite attractive and am a bit clumsy, socially awkward and low on confidence.

I know I'm posting this on an nsfw sub, the reason being I'm a very sexual person at least in theory. High libido and not much real life experience so there's a lot of it pent up and I do crave physical intimacy too and there are so many kinks I've read about in smut that I'dlove to try with my partner, my boyfriend. If I were to elaborate more, I'd say I'm looking for someone to love, to care for, to cry with and to have frequent passionate sex with.

Call me shallow, but I do have a type. I love an average English man, love Benedict Cumberbatch, love the guy from Fleabag (not the priest, her first bf, though the priest is crazy hot too haha). Love the posh and the southern accent too. So if you fit any of those requirements, I would love to get to know you. Seeking an intellectual, emotional connection but I also need to drool for you aha so please dont think I'm only after the looks because i know how wrong that sounds, even more so when I'm just average myself. I'd want someone close in age, 22 to 28 is ideal.

I do not have much to recommend myself physically. Am just alright looking. Will tell you more in dms. Happy to talk and exchange pics too to get past the first stage of whether we fancy one another or not. Personality wise, I'm empathetic, emotionally very open and aware, ambivert, bookworm, a bit nerdy, smiley face been told.

Love books, classic lit is my favourite but also enjoy historical fic, stream of consciousness, bildungsroman genres and ooh romance. I'm wanting to explore other genres like realism, horror etc. So if you love enjoy reading, I think we'll be great friends. I also quite enjoy a coffee, walks in parks, nature, music, languages, learning new things, talking to people etc.

I look forward to talking to you more. Even if this doesn't turn out the way I want it to, I'll be happy to atleast make friends, forge new connections and have a conversation partner to not feel quite as lonely sometimes. X
