About me: I'm a bit of a homebody but I'm looking to get out of my comfort zone a bit. I would like to explore different hobbies but want someone to enjoy them with. I have a few nerdy interest (like games) but you wont know about them unless they also happen to be stuff you're into. I have 2 degrees, am looking into finding a new job soon. I'm 5'10 and 160 pounds, down from 210 from last year. I'll be getting toned in the not too distant future. I can be a bit of a know it all but not the condescending type. I might come off a bit awkwardly shy but I promise there'll be a big difference once I'm comfortable talking to you. I definitely will show that I care even if you're just a friend. If you ever need advice or to vent I know when to be serious and be a good listener. I'm not a therapist but I'll tell you more than "it really do be that way."

What I can offer: Emotional support and attentiveness towards what you're going through. I'm patient and wont hound you when you're busy. I'm willing to compromise without holding it against you in any way. I wont overwhelm you with my problems as that isn't fair to you at all. Unlimited comedy and comfort at almost any hour of the day. Am able to communicate whatever is on my mind so you aren't blindsided about how I'm feeling. I don't mind talking about literally anything you feel like discussing, even if I have no expertise in that area I'm fine with learning or giving my thoughts on it. Am also open minded and respectful of your interest/judgement free. I do want to help build the best version of yourself so if you have any goals that I can help you with, feel free to let me know.

What I’m looking for: Please be around 22-31. Either local to New York or can visit it at least monthly. Someone who’s supportive and just wants to be a team player. If you think you know how to take care of everything as a leader then I don't mind helping on the other end too. Would appreciate someone who is patient because I take a bit of time to open up to new people. I don't like to bother people when they're busy so if you prefer to initiate that's a plus, if you don't mind me messaging though there's no pressure to respond right away. It would help if you have a sense of humor or at least enjoy goofy moments from time to time. A person who wants to enjoy life and make things better for the people you care about. I'm not too judgmental on body types, though I would love to help support you if you want to improve yourself in any way. It's important to stay healthy so if you think you don't have healthy habits then I'm willing to support you on that journey. I wont judge you if you do drugs but please nothing too extreme. I'm a firm believer of us building each other up into the best versions of ourselves since no one starts off perfect, but at least we're trying to get there.

I would really appreciate someone who has family that is Albanian if you plan on this being long term just because we'd have a lot more in common that way. Someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously, or if they do they aren't pretentious about it. If you happen to be into gaming that's a big plus so that we have more opportunities to connect with each other, though we can connect in other ways so that's not a deal breaker. I'm willing to send pictures but only after a few days or if you have a good idea on how to verify. I don't want to draw it out for too long, I am willing to verify with you I just prioritize personality, not that I don't have physical preferences but I wouldn't consider them too unrealistic. Please share your age and a general idea of where you're from, doesn't have to be too specific. Feel free to start the conversation about literally anything you want or just be ready for me to pick something random because I'm not always the best at small talk.
