Since things look like they are finally kind of returning to normal and I'm tired of being cooped up in the house, I thought I'd get out there and try to meet more people. As the title says, I really am open to a lot since the type of relationship you have with someone depends a lot on how compatible you are, current distance/location, what you are both looking for at the time, etc.

However, if you'd like to try to dating irl, then all I would ask for is exclusivity. When I am dating someone, I make sure I actually listen to them, remember things about them, and spend time getting to know that person rather than just "dating" many people at once and flaking at the smallest inconvenience. Also, in terms of my commitment, I firmly believe that I would now be ready to marry if I found the right person.

​

Things I enjoy doing/value (in no particular order):

playing tennis (haven't actually played in a bit since hard to find a consistent partner)

scenic runs (esp around the lake or Lincoln Park)

cooking (yes, actual full meals)

listening to music (I like pretty much anything upbeat and exciting. Only things I generally dislike are country and super heavy metal basically)

learning new things (esp science, philosophy, psychology, medicine)

honest open communication (this is a big one for me. I feel like this is the reason why all my previous relationships (not that I've had a ton) have been able to end organically/peacefully instead of the crazy stories that you may have read online/here. I truly feel that almost anything can be resolved if two people properly communicate their wants, concerns, feelings, etc. At worst, you learn that you two just aren't compatible and can peacefully move on)

(re)learning how to play the electric guitar

exercise (I'm around 145ish lbs, toned (aka have 6 pack but not like 9-inch biceps lol), I run a few miles 2x a week and then walk quite a bit to get to places since a lot is very closeby. I do NOT expect you to be as or more active (although that would be AWESOME as I'd love an exercise buddy to keep each other motivated)).

Disease, drug and child-free and expect the same (but it's fine if you've smoked weed as long as it's not your whole personality lol)

and then the usual watching movies (mainly sci-fi, action, comedy. esp like ones that make you think such as interstellar, inception, limitless, etc), shows, memes, educational/funny youtube vids, etc.
