2025 is upon us and I have decided to put myself out there in the most honest way was possible. Maybe it will work, maybe it won't but lets clear the elephant in the room: I am a late bloomer when it comes to my romantic life.

By now I should be left with some curious people and maybe, hopefully, some people who are genuinely open minded and want to get to know me.

Me:

• 45. French speaking. Scorpio. Plus size or curvy whatever your want to call it but I carry it well and I take care of myself. I am obviously into body positivity.
• I have tattoos.
• I love to dress well and I have my own style. Mid length grey hair mixed with my natural color which is auburn. green eyes. Round face. I am often told I don't look my age. Height: 1m73.
• I have my life together financially. I own a home that I share with my dad because I am his caretaker, and I have a small dachshund who is the boss of me.
• Belgium based and for obvious reason (my dad) not willing to relocate for the moment.
• I am open minded, kind, stubborn, good sense of humor, passionate about what I like / dislike. If you are my friend I'll literally fight for you.
• Communication and being able to trust each other are very important to me. Emotionally intelligent.
• I am a good listener and lets say skilled at every day life considering I have always managed everything on my own.

Why a late bloomer:

• It has nothing to do with religion / belief... To put it quite simply: it just never happened for me. Life happened. At the age of 25 I became a caretaker for my parents. It was on / off as well as well as having other big responsabilities. The free time I had for myself I spent it travelling, going to concerts, enjoying myself with friends... I always thought: "If I meet someone, I will."
• In my early 30s I tried dating apps but it was a disaster. I met a narcissistic man who led me on and truly destroyed me for several years and I gave up.
• In my late 30s I tried again to put myself out there and met a wonderful man online. Unfortunately the relationship ended before we could meet but he helped me see my worth and that being a late bloomer didn't make me less of a woman. We are still friends.
• I had a few "flings" online but they didn't really mean that much because the connection wasn't really deep. I think it was more about trying to fill a void.
• Around that time I also learned about being Demisexual / romantic and I finally understood why I never had any crushes or sexual attraction to random people.
• In 2023 I lost my mom and it destroyed me. It has taken me almost 2 years now to start feeling like my old self... or at least a new version of me.
• In September 2024 I met someone here who I thought would be "something" but I got my heart broken again.

Sexuality / attraction:

• Straight. Demisexual / romantic. Sapiosexual.
• I don't really have a type. My attraction to someone develops when we have good conversations (it doesn't have to be highly intellectual) and with the way a person will act, if they have their own style, are open minded like me, have a sense of humor, etc
• Now just because I am a late bloomer doesn't mean I am a prude. I like to call myself a hopeless romantic with a dirty mind. I know my body well and what I like / dislike. I am someone who can be incredibly passionate even just online, and I am sure that I'd be the same with a partner. I read erotica, even written some.
• Kinks: I have read a lot about kinks and a little part of me is interested in Gentle Femdom. With the right person I feel like I could be a little submissive too, but more in the sense of someone guiding me / teaching me. I still prefer an "equal" relationship when it comes to intimacy.

What I am looking for:

• A man. I'd say between 35 and 55 but I am not excluding a little younger or older.
• Emotionally available. Obviously not married or saying he is getting a divorce.
• Drama free.
• Someone who can enjoy the little things in life.
• Someone who is kind, passionate, loving.
• An animal lover.
• Someone who is open minded about my situation. You can be curious about it but not judgemental.
• Europe based for obvious reasons. I don't think I have it in me to try (very) long distance but if my profile truly appealed to you, feel free to message me.
• A connection. It's as simple as that. Obviously it'd be amazing to have a long term romantic partner but I am not putting any pressure on myself or you. If there is a connection / mutual respect / love and it only lasts for a little while, it'll still be nice experience. Obviously not interested in ONS.
• Because Reddit is Reddit, if we start chatting, I'd like to verify asap with a picture / video etc whatever you prefer. I am not getting scammed in 2025. I prefer to use Telegram / Whatsapp than Reddit tbh.

If my post resonates with you in one way or another (wether your are M or F), I am also always looking for new friends to chat with so again my messages / chat are open.

Have a lovely New Year's Eve, be safe and fun!
