Fall is my absolute favorite time of year. Apple everything, sweater weather, the smell of burning wood lingering in the air as people fire up their stoves for the beginning of a long, cold winter...wanting to be wrapped up in a blanket with someone you care about.

I'm looking for someone who's happy on their own, but wants to share that with someone else. I want to add to your happiness, not be the only source of it. I post to reddit because dating apps just don't do it - when people do fill them out, it's always a sentence or two. Yeah, who doesn't love traveling? No, your thoughts of pineapple on pizza is not a hot-take. I want to know what never fails to make you laugh, even when you're having a hard day. What's the default movie/show you put on when you're not feeling well? What have you learned about yourself from past relationships, and how are you a better person today?

So I'm looking for you, stranger. Sure, I want to fall in love - but I have no interest in forcing it. Let's have fun, get to know each other, and see where things go. No pressure, no expectations - the goal is to enjoy the journey and with the right person, you simply don't stop.

About me - I'm a single dad of 2, and I can't have any more kids of my own but don't mind being a bonus dad (if that's a dealbreaker for you). Physically I'm 5'8", brown hair, pale blue eyes, and a bit of a dad bod - a work in progress. I'm pretty content with how things are in life and know what I'm working on/towards. I'm funny, kind, and educated. Like any human being, I'm a flawed individual - but I'm self aware and always strive to be a better person, father, or partner. Most importantly - I love deeply, and would be elated to find someone with whom that mutual connection is made.

You? Well - I've never met you, so how do I describe you? You're someone who knows what they want, and wants to pursue that with the understanding that they're not trying to force something to fit a mold. Someone who can communicate well, and enjoys staying in touch frequently (I tend to be high-touch communication wise). Mostly...you're a person that can identify with what I've written and want to reach out.

Lastly - please be local. I've tried long distance, really - it simply doesn't work.

Send me a message/chat - I look forward to hearing from you!
