As 2024 draws to a close, I thought it might be nice to have someone to ring in the New Year with. Perhaps you can relate?

About me: 45-year-old, 5’7”, long haired Vietnamese-American software developer who is taking a break from computers to take some art classes. I'm single, never been married and have no kids (and am not interested in having any). I enjoy reading, drawing, photography, video games, walking, lifting weights and yoga.

What I'm Looking For:

Looking for someone relatively close, but I'm up for chatting online if you're willing to meet up at some point. Depending on our chemistry and how we get along, I'm open to either something casual or something serious (and anything that falls somewhere between). Whatever our situation ends up being, I'm only interested in monogamy - juggling multiple partners isn't something that interests me, regardless of how casual/serious our relationship is.

I don't have a specific type of woman I'm looking for but at the bare minimum it is important to me that you are able to hold a conversation. Also would like to exchange unfiltered SFW pics early on if we hit it off because A: physical attraction matters and B: getting catfished suuuuuuuuuuuuucks.

Random SFW Facts About Me (That Could Possibly Stimulate Conversation or, at the Very Least, Make Me Seem Like a Relatively Normal Human Being)

• My best karaoke song: Careless Whisper by George Michael. Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy by Queen is a close second.

• Latest Addition to My Phone's Photo Album: Screenshot of a custom Lord of the Rings birthday card that says "Looks like Cake's Back on the Menu Boys!" If you know what scene this is from, then you can probably guess what picture is on it :-D

• Most Recent Mundane Errand Completed: I swept the floor and vacuumed. If you're a fellow long hair haver then you know the war against hair everywhere can never truly be won.

• What Did I Have For Breakfast Today?: A banana alongside oatmeal with blueberries.

• Last Treat Enjoyed: Chocolate cheesecake

• Currently Listening To: Espresso - Sabrina Carpenter

• Currently Watching: A bunch of walking tour videos on YouTube from far off places in the world. My favorite ones so far are the walks through cities in Japan and Italy.

• Currently Wearing: A dark blue sweatshirt and dark gray sweatpants.

• Favorite beverage: Mandarin orange herbal tea

If you're interested, please say "hi" AND let me know a little bit about yourself. Also, to let me know you read the entire post and are not a bot, please tell me:

• What's a dream gift you wished you got this past holiday season?

• What's a piece of media (movie/song/book/tv show/etc) that you recently enjoyed?

• What's your favorite dessert?

Low effort responses (e.g. "hey", "how's it going", "tell me more lol", etc.) will be completely ignored :-P Looking forward to hearing from you!
