https://imgur.com/a/ydAhE5k Dealbreakers start with religion, please be non-religious. I consider myself spiritual but not religious. Organized religion was created by men to control people. God is an allegory. Next dealbreaker, don’t be Trumpy, plain and simple, I don’t hate anyone, hate causes cancer. Third dealbreaker, please be child free, I am as well. Maybe one day but not today. Last dealbreaker, don’t think feet are in any way sexy, they’re utilitarian and just not hot. I’m looking for more than just a friend, close to or preferably on Long Island, ideally Suffolk County. Ideally, a friend that develops into a confidante, that develops into a passionate affair, that develops into a lasting romantic partnership. NGL, I don’t relish the idea of life being a revolving door of people. Really, I just want more people in my life that I love and cherish, that are good people to me, as I would be to them. A lot of people drain me , not all people though- I’m looking for you! Energy vampires need not apply. A connection that feels as if we’ve already met, that could last a lifetime, with a vitality that could transcend the next, sounds kinda romantic. A little about myself: I grew up here on the island but moved away for many years until it all went up in flames (literally), I moved back east because good healthcare and good family became the change my life desperately needed. Returned to find most friends had gone, started families , moved on ….et cetera. My best friend literally had killed himself……I apologize for being so candid. So every end constitutes a new beginning, one always more glorious than the last. Originally, when I ventured out west I had no intention of returning here but now as I sit in the place where I started; the conversation between Sam Jackson and John Travolta in the movie Pulp Fiction never rang more true. Sitting in the diner at the end of the movie Jackson tells Travolta he is going to quit the business due to divine intervention and just “walk the earth until ‘god’ puts him where he wants me to be.” This is where I stand at this moment in my path, right where I’m supposed to be. Although, sometimes I do question the legitimacy of free-choice as it seems some things are pre ordained. Maybe a little nerdy, loves the stars and nature but like sports and values physical fitness while still enjoys a leisurely cocktail on a warm sunny beach. Life’s not worth it if you don’t smell the roses. Enjoys some cartoons but thinks most anime is a little weird. I’m not big into social media, Reddit is my main squeeze, am down for video chat, phone calls, texts. Would like to meet sooner rather than later. I would like to verify who I’m speaking with and will gladly reciprocate. Here are some statements that describe me hopefully they describe you too. Someone who values transparency and authenticity, someone who is true to their self and isn’t trying to be someone/something they are not. Considers themselves to be one of an open mind, try everything twice, within reason. Has critical thinking skills and values truth and facts and evidence to substantiate said facts. Evaluates things from a scientific perspective and when presented with new evidence or findings is willing to alter and improve upon previously held ideas. While at the same time not being stuck in the mind all the time and valuing life just for the experience of feeling its feelings, vibration, and flow and just dance! Self actualization and self realization are important to me. My wish for a partner comes from a place of enhancing an already good time not escaping from a bad one. I don’t desire to be anywhere I am unwanted. I don’t desire anyone who doesn’t want to be here, to be here. If you are here I want you to be here, as should you. Please respond with a picture.
