Hi there!

I’m looking to explore romance and dating. I’m probably more of the slow-burn type, but I do believe a good foundation to a relationship is a close friendship. Monogamous only please. Please be 30-38 years old and ideally local.

I would describe myself as a warm, friendly, and resilient person. Perhaps more of an ambivert or extroverted introvert. I think my life looks great on paper, but only some of my closest friends know how much work I put in to get myself this far and, on days I feel down, they make sure to remind me of that (I love them so much 🥺).

I’m a strong proponent of mental health and validating the way people feel. There is so much outside noise in this world, it is difficult to determine what what we should do/like/feel vs. what do we actually want. I struggled with that for so long so it gives me warm fuzzies to be able to help those around me to not feel that way anymore. I do, however, sometimes struggle with hyper-independence and I have somewhat of a disorganized attachment style and, because of these things, I sometimes find difficulty in reaching out for help and feeling comfortable to lean on someone. I am hoping I can feel the ability to do so with my partner.

In my day to day, I enjoy food (cooking/dining), wine and whiskey, travel, my work (I lead a small team that I love for a large firm), and dabbling in some arts. I don’t really play video games anymore but I did grow up on them and did recently pick up a PS5 just to play the new Final Fantasy games haha. I also have so much love and respect for Taylor Swift - not necessarily just for her music, but the way she has opened up and spoken up for herself and others and built an empire - not despite of her challenges, but in spite of.

Traits that mean the world to me:

• compassion and empathy
• humour
• thoughtfulness
• respect
• willingness to explore and try new things

When it comes to physical attraction, I have always had an affinity for white and east asian men, but core values, identity, and personality mean the most to me at the end of the day.

This has gotten much longer than what I had in mind, so if any of this resonates with you, please reach out! I am very comfortable with voice chat (preferred) although I am dealing with a bad cold and kinda sound like a dying cow right now. You have been warned. 🙃
