Hi! My name is Ari. Technically I live in northern Virginia, but more people know of D.C. and I'm very close to it anyway. I've been trying dating apps and reddit with limited success, so I thought I'd try something different. And by something different I mean just rambling to be honest. I guess I should start with a bit about me.

Stuff I like:

• Video games. It's what I spend most of my free time doing, or I'm listening to music, or both. I play a lot of different things. Mostly shooters when I'm playing alone though. I play on both xbox and pc.
• Streaming. I only started very recently, so it's mostly me talking to myself. I still enjoy it though.
• Music. I absolutely love music. If I'm not gaming I have music on basically 24/7. My favorite genres are funk, rock, metal, and some rap and electronic. As I'm writing this I'm listening to queens of the stone age.
• Magic the gathering. Usually it's my way to destress at the end of the week.
• Watching stuff. Mostly I watch youtube, but I also enjoy movies, tv shows, and anime occasionally. In fact I work at a movie theater. Though we don't really show the popular movies.
• Roleplaying games. I used to play one called pathfinder, which I think is very similar to D&D. But recently I've been playing a game called blades in the dark.
• Bass. I just started trying to learn, so I kinda suck right now. I also want to learn guitar at some point too.
• Cats. I absolutely love cats. My family has three of them but one of them is mine. Her name is maddie and she is so adorable.
• Walks. I just like exploring towns or nature. Abandoned places are absolute favorite to go to.

And I'm sure there's more that I like, but that's what I can think of off the top of my head right now. Next I guess I should talk about some facts about me. Sadly not fun facts, just basic info facts.

Basic info fact things:

• I'm 5'5"
• I'm mixed race
• I have long dark hair and some facial hair (I'd be happy to share a picture once we get to know each other)
• I think I have an average body.
• I don't smoke, drink, or do weed or drugs.
• I wear all black except for work. I honestly have no idea how my wardrobe became only black clothes, but that's how it is for now.
• I have autism. I don't think it affects me to much socially. But it does mean I am a bit of a picky eater though I am really trying to try new foods.
• I could possibly have mental disorders that haven't been diagnosed yet. I'm still on my mental health journey so bear with me while I learn more about myself (and hopefully get meds if they would help me).
• I'm an atheist. I don't mind if you are religious or spiritual. I just don't believe in any higher powers myself.

Now I should probably talk about what I'm looking for. The only things that would be a deal breaker I think would be if you're not looking for a long-term relationship, and if your non-monogamous. I want a relationship that will last a lifetime, and I think I'd be far too jealous to share my partner. Here are some things that would be nice but none of these are necessary.

Bonuses I'd like in a partner:

• Likes things I like too. It would help to have some common ground, but I also like learning about peoples interests so it isn't too big of a deal if we don't have much in common.
• Likes to take the lead/into gentle femdom and role reversal.
• Likes voice calls and/or playing games together. Especially If we live far away from each other. I'll play pretty much anything, so I'd be happy to be your gaming buddy.
• Can teach me bass or guitar. (I'm joking... kinda)

Well this whole thing was much longer than I thought. If you want to talk you can either message me on here or on my discord which is hypercandyx. If you read all the way through thanks so much! I hope to hear from you!
