I've been putting off looking for a relationship but now I really feel the need for a connection.

About me: I'm a bit of a homebody but looking to change that a bit more. I like to explore different hobbies but want someone to enjoy them with. Wouldn't mind going to concerts if that is something you're into. I've been to a few recently and have been really loving the experience. I would love to see some movies or events together. I've graduated with 2 degrees. Trying to find a new job. I haven't really watched anything these last few weeks but I'm willing to get invested if I like a few episodes first. I'm into gaming but haven't been playing as much lately, though I wouldn't mind trying something you're passionate about. I'm 5'10 and 167 pounds, down from 210 from last year.

Already looking pretty good but I'd like to get toned in the not too distant future, would appreciate the motivation. I am knowledgeable but I'm not a know it all “actually” type. Never met someone I couldn’t make laugh. I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone. Never really thought I would be posting something like this but I don't think I should wait any longer. I am a bit shy and inexperienced with relationships, I was in a few when I was younger but I wasn’t in a rush to get super intimate. I definitely wont put it off like before but I really need to form a connection first before anything would happen. If you ever need advice or to vent I know when to be serious and be a good listener. I'm not a therapist but I'll tell you more than "it really do be that way."

Location: I would prefer you live somewhere in New York. I am flexible with it depending on your situation.

Kinks: I’m into femdom, but not the ballbusting, super painful stuff. PRETTY SURE this is the place to go to right? I consider myself a switch because I am comfortable in different roles. Although if you are strictly dominant I wont have a problem with that if we get along. I’m open to trying things that are outside my comfort zone but I do have hard limits and know what I am looking for. I wouldn't say I am a blank slate, just might not be aware of what I might be interested in because I don't know it exist, so yeah, I am willing to communicate that in detail. I'm more into softer dominant personalities but I don't mind a bit of mean teasing sometimes. Limits: As long as it isn’t illegal or draws blood, piss, scat. Also not into being put in dresses, not judging people who are though.

What I’m looking for: Someone who’s supportive and just wants to be a team player. Would appreciate someone who is patient because I take a bit of time to open up to new people lol. I don't like to bother people when they're busy so if you prefer to initiate that's a plus, if you don't mind me messaging though there's no pressure to respond right away. Not a requirement but would appreciate someone who has family from the Balkans/Albanian just because we might have more in common that way. Someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously, or if they do they aren't pretentious about it. If you have nerdy interest that's a plus but if not then that isn't a deal breaker.

I'm willing to send pictures but only after a few days depending on how comfortable we are with each other. I don't want to draw it out for too long if my face is something you need to see before going further with this. I am willing to verify with you I just prioritize personality, not that I don't have physical preferences but I wouldn't consider them too unrealistic. If our personalities aren't compatible I don't think it would be worth either of our times. I Would it help reassure you if I told you I was really cute like not even in an ironic way? No? 💀 Well then I'd like to hear your thoughts on this if you are skeptical.
