It feels like this terrible dream I can't wake up from. Every morning I hope I will wake up to something else. But its real, and I have to deal with it. I have a decided lack of joy in my life recently, and I am back here on OA to see if someone out there is also missing that joy.

I am in EST, and its not a dealbreaker if you aren't, but it helps to have more open and available time. I can chat a lot during the day, but also have time in the evenings and on weekends. Things like video calls can happen, but relatively rarely (just level setting there!). I am pragmatic about an OA and understand that we have our lives that we can't ignore for this, but we both want something that fills in the gaps and helps bring more happiness and joy to our lives.

I am 6'1", 175, fit and in shape, I am a runner and love being active. I am creative and I am a photographer and love sharing that with someone who shares the passion or appreciates the craft. I like video games, board games, watch a lot of movies and read a lot (fiction and comics) - yeah, I am a nerd! But socially adept and that is not my entire personality.

I connect well with women who are direct and sarcastic, intelligent and love to laugh. Lets banter and flirt and make each other smile at our phones. Yes, I am looking for a sexual connection as well, but that does not need to come immediately. For what its worth, I am very kinky and open minded, dominant and enjoy teasing - this is not a complete list ;)

If you have enjoyed what I wrote and are interested, and hopefully want to ameliorate some of the despair, please send me a message! If you read this entire post, please tell me the thing that makes you the most sad or angry about the election. I hope to hear from you soon!
