Hi all! I’m a 32M living in Brooklyn, NY looking for a romantic connection. Ideally I'd like to build a relationship/partnership, but I'm open to something more casual along the way.

My elevator pitch is that I’m emotionally available, go to therapy regularly, practice open and honest communication, and respect boundaries. What a catch, right!?

I’m about 5’8 (aka 5'7), white, curly brown hair, glasses, and rocking a bit of a dad bod at the moment. I’ve never been much of a partier, but I'm usually up to grab a drink or two (literally) socially and I’m pretty fond of a little 420 to help wind down at night.

My biggest passion is music. Alternative/indie/punk/metal is my sweet spot - if you're into that, we already have a lot to talk about! I go to lots of shows and have a pretty extensive record collection. I also write and record my own music under a funny name that I'll tell you if we connect.

I love seeing stand-up, going to trivia nights, browsing museums, and I'm usually up for any of the many unique things that NYC has to offer. On more low-key nights, I love watching movies or playing PS4 - I actually became a gamer for the first time over the pandemic!

Sounds pretty good, right? What's the catch? Well, I was really socially anxious growing up and was a very late bloomer to the dating scene. I've been on dating apps for years, but have only had a couple of connections that lasted more than a date or two. So I'm pretty inexperienced when it comes to dating and sex. I'm proud of the work I've done on myself, but I'm pretty embarrassed about my inexperience, so I'm quite eager to change that.

When I've told people about my social anxiety, they're usually pretty surprised - so I don't think I'm particularly awkward to interact with, and when I'm comfortable, I can be really silly and love committing to ridiculous bits.

So if you're an open hearted lady who knows how to communicate and likes to show your silly side, I'd love to hear from you! Shoot me a DM or chat and let's see how we vibe. If you send photos, I'll respond in kind. Thanks for reading!
