Trying different ways to meet new people this year, so taking a crack at a reddit personal ad.

I prefer to take things a little slow. Generally seeking someone I have solid chemistry/rapport with - I honestly just want to meet a good person. Being into gaming or general 'nerd' interests is a big plus.

I really value kindness, honesty, passion and intelligence in a woman.

Not sure what the best way to lay out my info is, so here's the rundown:

* Caucasian

* Blonde hair, blue eyes

* Slim/athletic body (regular exercise)

* Look very young for my age; been told I have a 'Disney prince' kinda vibe; also been said I look a little like Ed Sheeran

* Financially solid with a well-paying job in e-commerce

* About 2/3rds introvert, 1/3rd extrovert; generally a homebody but I like to go out/socialize every now and then and push myself to get out of my comfort-zone (growth is important)

* Interests include gaming, karaoke, anime, narrative-design/writing of all kinds (films, tv, theater, etc.), dancing, yoga, science (big fan of the Natural History Museum in NYC), and interior design

* V close to my family and friends; adore my nieces (and they adore me); have a close-knit group of about half-a-dozen friends I've known for years (quality > quantity kinda guy friendship-wise) - you'll know I like you if you're looped in to our karaoke parties! =)

* Been trying to get out of my shell and try new things lately; acting (starred in a play!), improv, cooking, yoga, bartending, etc - give me recommendations!

* Traveled around the world

* Master's degree (top of my class!)

* Politically left

* 420 friendly

* Love dogs; like cats but have a mild allergy

* Favorite shows: Bob's Burgers, Arrested Development, Some More News, Family Guy, Stephen Colbert

* Favorite games: Risk of Rain 2, Ultimate Chickenhorse, Exo One, Sonic the Hedgehog, Dragon's Dogma, Zone of the Enders, Final Fantasy, Smash Bros

* Favorite anime: Dragon Ball, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Cowboy Bebop, Death Note, Record of Ragnarok, ...does Arcane count?

* Favorite movies: Jurassic Park, Polar Express (I'm a softie okay?), Tangled, Bridge of Spies, Infinity War, AKIRA, The Thing - yeah I'm kinda all over the place lol
