Hi! I'm looking for a long-term, serious, monogamous relationship with the foundation of friendship. I get to travel for work in healthcare and enjoy what I do. Bonus points if you travel for work and for fun as well. I have two dogs who are a package deal and I plan to have more dogs in the future; I will preface while I like cats, I much prefer dogs. Reptiles and rodents are cool with me. Honest and open communication is key and extremely important to me. I'm a hopeless romantic and enjoy physical touch/intimacy that goes beyond sex. I will not engage in any sexual talks, if we establish something down the line we can have those conversations. Im active and on a fitness journey. Despite being plus size, I understand people having body preferences, its just not something I harp on as long as you are working on your health. While i enjoy being in the comfort of my home and love a snuggle session watching a movie or cooking, im rarely home as I prefer getting out and about and hope you're the same way. I dont smoke or do drugs and rarely drink; would prefer you be the same way. Should mention that im childfree and have no desire for children. This is a huge deal breaker for me and regardless if your kids live with you or not, I want a partner who has the same mindset of being childfree. I want to invest my affection and attention to my partner and vice versa. While it shouldnt be an issue but for some it is, im black american. Race isn't an issue for me. Other tidbits: I enjoy being in nature, going to comic cons, listening to music, and watching horror films. Preferred ages 25-48. If you're interested, send me a chat or message.
