Hello!

I'm here because I've had success with forming a meaningful relationship from this subreddit before- and while it didn't work out in the long run, it's shown me that it is absolutely possible to find that spark here.

In an effort to not waste your time nor mine, I'm not here seeking a casual chat- I want to get to know someone single and close to my age beyond just a few exchanges. I'm here for a genuine connection, because I’m looking for my person, you know, the one I’ve been waiting my whole life to meet- which is quite a tall order right off the bat, but at the very least I'm seeking a conversation that just clicks in that way you can never really describe but you know it when it comes along.

So, why message me? Good question! I'm rather shy, self-depreciating, and modest- so trying to talk myself up is honestly really difficult. Instead, here are some random things about me and if any of it interests you, strikes a chord, or makes you smile, then I probably can, too!

• I live in England but I'm have previously lived in Scotland, Austria, and Lithuania. I also travel pretty regularly, and have been to Prague, New York, Boston, Humburg, and Berlin this year

• I have a degree in Chemistry and an MSc in Drug Design and Biomedical Science. I currently work as an Analytical Chemistry, which sounds way more exciting than it actually is!

• I've always been a voracious reader. Used bookstores make my heart happy. I'll read anything with a good plot, though currently I am reading a couple of books on History (one about the Caesars, and another about the Huguenots!)

• I am into photograghy and some of my photos can be found here!

• Empire is the best Star War.

• Last Crusade is the best Indiana Jones.

So what now? Introduce yourself, share a photo to I can put a face to the words, tell me 5 random things about you, or 5 things on your bucket list, or the first 5 things you'd do if you won the lotto- or anything at all you'd like to share. Have animals? Show me pics!

Lastly, I know it's hard to take the time to write a thoughtful message on the chance that it may go unanswered. I'm not here for a lot of messages- I'm here for just one, and I know the kind of message that I'm hoping to receive. I don't want to waste anyone's time, so if I don't reply then know that I'm rooting for you to find the person you're hoping for, too!
