Dealbreakers:

Religion: Please be non-religious. I consider myself spiritual but not religious. Organized religion was created by men to control people. God is an allegory.

Politics: Don’t be Trumpy. Plain and simple. I don’t hate anyone, hate causes cancer.

Kids: Please be child-free, as I am. Maybe one day, but not today.

Feet: Not sexy to me, just utilitarian.

About Me: I’m looking for more than just a friend, ideally close to or on Long Island, preferably in Suffolk County. I want a friend who can become a confidante, that grows into a passionate affair, and ultimately a lasting romantic partnership. I don’t relish the idea of a revolving door of people in my life. Really, I just want to meet someone who I can love and cherish, and who will be good to me as I will be to them. Energy vampires need not apply.

A connection that feels like we’ve already met, with a vitality that could transcend lifetimes—sounds romantic, right?

I grew up on Long Island but moved away for many years until life took an unexpected turn, bringing me back east for good healthcare and family support. When I returned, most friends had moved on, started families, or, tragically, passed away. My best friend’s suicide was a tough blow. But every end marks a new beginning, each more glorious than the last. When I ventured out west, I didn’t plan to return, but now it feels like divine intervention has placed me where I’m supposed to be.

A little about me: I’m a bit of a nerd who loves the stars and nature. I enjoy sports and value physical fitness but also love a leisurely cocktail on a sunny beach. Life’s not worth it if you don’t stop to smell the roses. I like some cartoons but find most anime a bit weird.

I’m not big on social media; Reddit is my main squeeze. Down for video chats, phone calls, and texts—let’s meet sooner rather than later. I’d like to verify who I’m speaking with and will gladly reciprocate.

What I’m Looking For: Someone who values transparency and authenticity.

Someone who is true to themselves and isn’t trying to be someone/something they’re not.

An open-minded individual who tries everything twice, within reason.

Someone with critical thinking skills who values truth, facts, and evidence.

Someone who evaluates things from a scientific perspective and is willing to adjust beliefs based on new evidence.

Someone who can enjoy life’s experiences and just dance!

Self-actualization and self-realization are important to me.

A partner who enhances an already good time, not someone looking to escape from a bad one.
