I've posted here a few times over the last couple weeks, only responses I've got have been bots or are low effort responses with hours between replies. Don't need constant attention, but I would like to have a conversation without having to reread chat history to figure out what is going on.

I am looking for something that starts as a friendship, just two lonely adults trying to build the connection that they are lacking in their life. Talk about our day, tell me about your hobbies, dreams and all the other little things in your life that you don't have anyone else to share with.

I want something that isn't forced, where we both contribute to the conversation and help build each other up. A lot of men here are looking specifically to jump into sexting and sending nudes, and that's fine and there is a time and place for that, but I want a friendship first and foremost, and to let it evolve to the point where all of that spicy adult fun feels special instead of just another digital one night stand.

I would like to exchange pictures fairly early on to make sure we click, and to verify to each other we are who we claim to be. While I would like for their to be some physical attraction, looks are secondary to an emotional connection. Win over my heart and the rest will follow.

Me: 37, married, no kids, two dogs that I probably love too much, nerdy, bearded, 5'9", BHM.

I work 8 to 5, spend most of the time sitting at my desk listening to audiobooks and podcasts while working. Outside of that I like tabletop RPGs and board games, video games, and I make chainmail.

You (These are preferences, not set in stone requirements): EST so our schedules line up more easily, 30 , identifies as some flavor of nerdy, and in a similar situation as far as what you are looking for.

If you made it this far and are still interested in responding, tell me about the last book or movie that you got really excited for.
