Hi there!

About 2 years ago I suddenly found myself back in the dating pool after a 7 year relationship. Since then I have been trying to figure out how to be by myself again. And for the most part I've settled into a life where I'd consider myself to be happy. So I've decided to put myself back out there.

I'm not sure I am ready to jump headlong into a full blown relationship right from the get-go and would prefer to take things slow and start with conversation, foster a friendship, and see where things go from there.

About Me

I work as a Network Engineer for a small IT MSP in the Portland Oregon area. I am Single, Monogamous, and am currently living alone with one pet in my home (A cat). I am 6 feet tall. Hazel eyes, Broad shouldered and on the bigger side weight wise. I have short brown hair and facial hair to match. I have been described as "Cute" and "Handsome".

My pastimes include gaming (Usually involving D&D or Video games like Soulslikes or MetroidVania games), Tinkering (Fixing computers, radios, or any other electronic devices.), movies/TV(Mostly high-fantasy, comedy or sci-fi. I also enjoy serious drama on occasion.), going on long walks, Cooking, and going to the beach. I would love to meet and talk with someone who has similar interests or similar enthusiasm for their own hobbies. And of course I'm always open to learning about and trying new things!

I believe I have a lot to offer a partner. I am honest, Loyal, Dutiful, kind, affectionate, and will always aim to please. I am, of course, nowhere near perfect. But I have a longing to grow and hope I can do so with someone special.

Who and what I am seeking

I'd like to meet someone caring and affectionate who likes taking care of another person but also knows when to be stern and even heavy handed when necessary. They are strong, confident, Funny, Forthright, Compassionate, Nurturing, Encouraging and supportive. Someone kind and loving but with a bit of a subtle and playful mean streak who loves to tease and titillate.

To expand on this. I suppose you could say I am seeking a woman that tends to be more assertive and maybe even has a "Soft Domme" personality. I know this has a tendency to conjure up a specific image in people's minds, Understandably. If you have questions about what I mean by this feel free to ask me to elaborate. Having said that, I want to be clear. I am looking for a partner. NOT a "Mom". Equal and supportive partnership is important to me. What the dynamic of our relationship looks like after that is purely based on what we agree on between the two of us once that base is established.

At the end of the day I am just hoping to find someone I can connect with on a meaningful level. The other half of my whole that is able and willing to help me cultivate a space where we can both be intimate and vulnerable in the ways we need to be without fear of judgement or rejection.

I think that should about cover it! If any of the above sounds interesting to you, or if you're just curious and want to chat, please feel free to drop me a line. Either way, I hope you're having a wonderful day!
