The last time I tried this, it went well, but I didn't make my intentions as clear as necessary, and so that led to a lot of confusion about what I was looking for or what I expected from those who responded.

So let's start anew.

I bake, I cook. I like deep questions & ridiculous hypotheticals. I like learning about & utilizing OSINT. I like beer, wine, & bourbon. (There's really only a few liquors that I discriminate against, tbh.)

I am currently on the path of learning to embroider. Have not take an single step yet. (Please help.) I like my job. It's not my career. That's okay.

I like taking walks, long ones. I'm not a runner, I don't cycle, & I definitely don't jog. I do like hiking, but leisurely. Either that's not a problem for you, or you can move on.

Born & raised in Arizona. Yes I moved away. It was too hot. Yes, I came to Ohio.

I like listening to True Crime & Paranormal podcasts. I like listening to debates, and intriguing panels.

Am I Christian? Yes. It is a personal faith. Not a requirement for anyone else to believe, and I completely understand if you don't. I attend Episcopal services, but I far more believe that I would trust an atheist who does the right thing because they believe in doing the right thing, over a Christian who does the right thing because a god commands them to.

I am working on taking care of as much of my personal debt prior to going back to school (but i'm taking all the free classes I can). I am not ashamed of where I am in life, but I also will not allow anyone to make me feel less than because I have not reached the same level of education as them.

I am 5'7, over 200 lbs, light brown/dirty blonde hair, green eyes. I'm working on a healthier lifestyle, but that's a personal journey.

I am pro-choice.

i like sports! Hockey, baseball, & rugby. Also like watching volleyball. Not interested in football (it's so slow), soccer, or basketball.

Galleries, museums, & zoos! I wanna visit them all!

I prefer chat to messages to start, and am willing to move to another platform if the conversation is worth it. Willing to introduce voice messages at that time as well.

I know I'm stating a lot, but I'm not looking to settle, and neither should you. I know what I want, and I don't want to risk happiness in my future by sacrificing something I love to appease someone's dislike. That's not fair to anyone involved.

I will not carry the conversation. That's boring. If you don't like to start with small talk, ask big questions! Ask ridiculous questions, deep questions, funny punny questions.

**If we spoke the last time I posted, you're more than welcome to reach out- just please be willing to put in the same effort in conversation that I do. If you have time constraints that keep you from conversing on a time frame I'm used to, please be upfront on that. I believe that communication & honesty (however difficult it can be) is vital for any relationship. Additionally, if the main point that you're happy to share with me is that we're both Christians.... again, my faith is personal - not a personality trait.

Let's start with conversation-- let's see where it goes. Hopefully we're compatible! If you don't know how to start a conversation, or because it's Sunday & your brain is on vacation, here are some options!

Top 3 places you want to visit that are not considered "touristy". Top 3 best places you've ever vacationed. Top 3 most influential books you've ever read. Top 3 comfort movies for a crappy day. top 3 comfort foods for a crappy day.

I hope to hear from anyone who is interested, and hope this clears up any questions or issues that my last post (now deleted) gave. Buena suerte!
