A loud fan (or two) is fine, too.

Hi there. I'm prone to neuroses of the anxious and depressive sorts, and I've recently developed persistent tinnitus. My days consist of work, chores, working out, and coming home to nothing but the ringing in my ears. Almost none of my friends live in Toronto anymore, I'm behind in life, and I have no idea what I'm looking for. All I know is that I've found myself isolated, and lonely. Take a minute to wring out your knickers.

Anyway, my therapist said I should try to meet people. FINE.

I'm not so sure about dating. I do miss having someone to be cute with. I like chatting. I like listening to someone tell me their things. I like being charmed by finding out how weird a person is. At the same time, it seems like I don't really fall for people anymore, even when they're basically perfect. Maybe this just happens to everybody after too much life?

A bunch of crap about me. I'm 5'-10", white, 185 pounds. I've never been married, and I don't have any kids. I don't use drugs, and I don't smoke cigs (I do use a nicotine vape pen). I don't know what "in-shape" means to you, but I work a physical job, and I can run (well, "run") 5K without a break. There are no abs. I'm a leftist, but I get read as a conservative (such is the world these days). I'd rather not be indoors if it's warm out. I'm typically underslept, as I prefer to spend my nights in bed worrying that I have a brain tumour or something. When it comes to spirituality, conspiracy, and the paranormal, I'm not at all a believer, but I do very much enjoy all the spooky things. If I'm to consider myself scientifically-minded, then I suppose I have to remain fundamentally agnostic on all matters, so, fuck, I dunno, maybe Gibraltar Point Lighthouse IS haunted. I kind of wish it were.

So, who are you? Hopefully, you're funny and smart, like to read, and you're physically active. Hopefully, you can put up with my company. Whether my company means a running buddy, friend with benefits, getting a coffee once in a while, having a drink in High Park and listening to "ghost to ghost" episodes, or something else, we'll see. Or, we won't.
