Hello! Hope the first month of 2023 went pretty good for all of you. I'm sure you have questions about the title, so I'll try and answer some of the common ones I can think of. Throwaway in the name cause I couldn't come up with a better name. I am also looking for gaming buddies if nothing else! Also not opposed to couples!

Is it by choice?

Yes and no. By choice cause I never really actively thought of pursuing a relationship, and unfortunately in my younger years I never really had time to do so either. Never really bothered by it and even now it's still not a priority honestly. Now for the no part, I grew up in a religious household the whole "Sex before marriage is a sin" etc etc thing so yeah you can already tell where that's going.

Why use reddit and not dating apps?

Good question, mostly cause I'm afraid I'll run in to a coworker one day when I'm swiping on tinder, bumble, etc etc near work. I prefer keeping my private life private so the less my coworkers know about me the better. I feel like I have less of a chance of running in to a coworker here than I do on dating apps. If that's actually true or not well I'll find out the hard way I guess.

There must be something wrong with you if you haven't had a relationship by now

I mean yeah it's possible. I'm pretty shy so that's probably a big factor as to why I haven't been in a steady relationship. I swear I know how to talk normally and can keep a decent conversation going when it comes to my hobbies. I know how to listen but I just have trouble speaking outside of my friend circle to people I don't really know. I'm working on it.

Are you looking to meet right now?

Absolutely not. I understand some people have the "Gotta go out and get laid now right now" train of thought, but that's just not me. If I'm gonna lose something like my virginity I want to make sure it's with someone I can trust and that I vibe with. So I'd like to get to know you as much, hopefully anyways, as you would like to get to know me. And ya know, I wanna make sure you're sane and I'm sure you want to make sure I'm sane. Neither of us wants to be a victim to an axe murderer, I hope.

What am I looking for?

Someone sane for the most part. I'd also like someone that shares the same hobbies. Cause I do want to be friends and while a one night stand is tempting I don't think I'm interested in that at the moment. Please don't be younger than 26, you can send me a message and we can chat at least though if you're just looking for that. Body wise I'm not really picky, but I'm sure we both have our own types. We'll exchange pictures of each other of course before we meet so if we aren't feeling a physical attraction, but think we're both nice people we can keep playing games.

Now for more about me: I'm 6'0, about 180lbs. My hobbies include video games, manga, anime, baking, eating good food, and recently started getting in to building Gunpla. I'm a bit of a nerd as you can see lol. I'm totally down to play games together and that'll probably be a good way to break the ice, willing to try your favorite game as well if I haven't play it before. I play almost anything under the sun except for sports games, never really enjoyed those honestly. Not opposed to a good lunch either. If you know a good spot to eat in SoCal let me know, always down to try it.

Your pics get mine of course, and more than willing to verify I'm real on whichever app you prefer. Hope to hear from you and hopefully get to know each other!
