Let me preface this: Short, low effort messages will be ignored. Also going to stipulate that you must send a selfie within our first few messages and expect to verify. I am currently conversing with a few others but I will do my best to keep up. At the very least, you can expect to hear from me for the holidays unless we hit it off, then hopefully longer?

Hey ☺️ I'm Melissa, 35 and am an INFJ-A from Saskatchewan Canada.

One thing to note is that I am physically disabled and am a full-time wheelchair user. I get this can be an important decision making factor, so I'm being upfront about it. I was born with a form of muscular dystrophy and yes, you can ask me any types of questions, from medical to mundane, but the more interesting, the better!. No topic (within reason) is off-limits.

I'm about 5'1, fair skin, dark brown hair, green eyes, slender, tattoos and thinking about body piercings. I guess you could say "Medium femme", I enjoy wearing some makeup and dressing nice, but you won't find me in many skirts or dresses.

I'm after genuine connections with other women (sorry guys) that could hopefully turn into something more (beyond platonic connections, please be at least 26 ). I'm gentle by nature, and my love languages include quality time, acts of service, tender affections, physical touch and being attentive. I love to give thoughtful gifts to friends and the like.

I hope to find someone who isn't afraid of hard challenges if faced together, good at communication, open and honest, is okay with distance to start with the intention of closing the gap or at least wanting to visit on occasion. I enjoy a slow burn, exchanging long or frequent messages, and eventually video calls. If you really want to make me swoon, we can exchange handwritten letters in time.

We can save interests for the small talk, but I enjoy listening to music, gaming, binge watching series, chilling with my pets, road trips and going to concerts or conventions (I'm a bit of a nerd).

Open to flirting, but I do best when there's a good connection, as I'm demiromantic/demisexual. Also strictly monogamous.

Chat preferred, but messages work too.
