Right off the bat - apologies to everyone not in the area - you are amazing and I hope you find what you're looking for! But I'm specifically hoping to meet someone irl, and I'll be in Seattle for at least a few years.

So, that out of the way: I'm on the dating apps but pretty worn down by them. Thought I'd make a post here! I've done so before but it's been a long time... and still haven't found a forever person.

About me: *I love being outdoors! I hike every weekend, run most days, and work outside. *i am super into creative endeavors! Reading, writing. Playing music in a local band. I have a degree in film studies and love film. *I am a world traveler - I've been to 38 countries! I speak 2 languages. I'm not currently in a position where traveling abroad is an option but I'm dreaming of the day that I can do so again (and hopefully live abroad as well)! *I am a Christian and my faith is important to me. Although I struggle with it and I'm not necessarily a good person, so I need tons of grace! *I am super left leaning and progressive and my politics and are very important to me. *I love love love food and cooking. I will talk nonstop about restaurants i want to try, and constantly invite you over to cook for you!

I am looking for: Dates, romance, love, all the good stuff? *I totally don't mind if you don't have the same hobbies as me. I'm a big believer in independence in a relationship. You don't want to climb a mountain with me? No worries! I'm looking for someone that supports me pursuing the things that make me happy, and someone I can support the same. *Someone who has a similar faith and political ideologies is really important to me! If you're not a Christian, but wanna hang out and go get some good food -- cool! I'd love that! Hit me up! Let's be friends! But as far as ltr go, finding someone who also believes in God is a priority for me. As for politics, if you're conservative, or - specifically, don't believe in letting people be people with autonomy over their own bodies and the right to love and be with whoever they want - sorry, but we're not gonna get along, and probably shouldnt get food; no matter how good it is! *I'm not super into drinking or drugs (including 420) and would love to find someone also not drinking heavily or using drugs.

Is this post any good? Does the small sliver where the venn diagram of progressive christians and people looking for dates on reddit intersect include any fellow PacNWers? And could we have a great time going out and grabbing some boba together? Find out all this and more in the next installment of: you sliding into my chat and saying whatsup!

(And regardless of what you take away from this post - thank you for reading it! I appreciate you ❤️ )
