As we dive into the start of the Thanksgiving season, it feels like the perfect time to find something (or someone) worth feeling thankful for. I’m looking for a connection that begins with laughter, meaningful conversation, and a bit of playful flirting, but grows into something lasting and special. Imagine sharing those “how’s your day?” messages that turn into much more, creating a connection that feels just as comforting as the season itself.

I’m 38, married (and not looking to change anybody's situation), and EST based. I’m 6’1 with broad shoulders, a muscular build complemented by the infamous dad bod, a trimmed beard, and a few tattoos that stay out of sight when needed. I’ve been told my vibe is equal parts steady and playful - I’m the guy who will both listen to your day’s ups and downs and find a way to make you laugh when you need it most.

My interests are all over the place, which just means there’s plenty to talk about. Whether it’s playing board games, bingeing the latest streaming hit, heading out to a concert, or unwinding with sports. That includes both watching the next big game or jumping into one myself for some friendly competition. Between it all I think it is important to enjoy life, so bringing laughter where I can is important to balance the stress of life.

What am I looking for? Someone who values ongoing conversations where we check in, joke around, and let the connection grow naturally. I’m looking for more than just surface level chats from this connection. I want to build a friendship where we feel truly seen and appreciated while slowly stoking the flames of passion and desire. Flirting and teasing are absolutely part of the fun, but the emotional connection is just as important to me in creating something fulfilling and long-lasting.

If you’re ready to kick off this Thanksgiving season with a connection that feels as that side of mashed potatoes that just hit so right this time of year feel free to send a message! Let’s start building something now that we can carry through the season and beyond. And if you need a conversation starter... What’s your favorite holiday tradition, or what’s the one dish you look forward to every year?
