I think affairs kind of hold up a mirror to ourselves and how we handle relationships. I’ve been extremely lucky and also relatively unlucky in this space. I’ve learned a lot about communication and myself from the affairs I’ve had. I’ve also had my heart broken and become significantly more jaded. However, despite all that (or maybe because of it) I think the person(s) I’m looking for is out there and I’m hopeful that eventually we’ll connect. But pretty much I’ve learned that I want all of it. The good stuff, the hard stuff, and the hot stuff.

Who I am - in need and want of a deep, meaningful connection. Skeptical of my ability to, but wanting to fall in love - slower with this process because I’m not in a rush and am looking for a long term partner
- pretty, funny, conventionally attractive, hwp but curvy - curious, easily excitable, passionate - loves getting lost in someone’s words and thoughts and ideas - someone who treats this like a real relationship, because it is - always wanting to learn and attracted to people who can teach me - not really worried about monogamy but interested in navigating how this relationship fits into our other ones - big on the outdoors and my other hobbies, but mostly being outside

What im looking for: - someone who cares, is passionate, successful - attractive (conventionally or otherwise), confident in the way they look - loves being active and prioritizes that in their life - isn’t afraid to communicate when things are good but more importantly when things aren’t good - can handle feelings - a natural leader - understands how tough this lifestyle can be and has done it before - has the time, freedom, and the means to get together eventually ideally by traveling together or visiting each other - someone who is very into being outside would be ideal (regularly hikes, camps, backpacks, etc.) as it’s a huge part of my life and something I’d like to do with an AP

I have decent availability and am looking for the same - I’m in CST and am looking for someone who can make in person happen when we get there as it’s what makes the hard parts of this life worthwhile.

ETA: please don’t bother responding if you’re just going to send a standard copy and paste response that doesn’t address anything I’ve said. I’m looking for someone who wants a genuine relationship and that isn’t how one starts. No need to waste each other’s time.
