Hello there, my name's Alex. I'm 27 years old, athletic/fit, and am a very affectionate and down-to-earth guy working in the med field.

I am looking to truly get to know someone 18-30 deeply for a normal, monogamous, irl relationship where we both complement, enjoy each others company and make each other better people. If we live far apart, we can obviously start as LDR, but please have an honest intention to meet soon irl if we find we are very compatible. I would prefer if we are both within at least the midwest as I don't want just an online relationship where you see each other once a month.

Personal things I enjoy doing/value (in no particular order):

playing tennis (haven't actually played in a bit since hard to find a consistent partner but would absolutely LOVE to play with anyone even if that's all we do together)

scenic runs (esp around the gorgeous lake or parks)

cooking (yes, actual full meals)

listening to music (I like pretty much anything upbeat and exciting. The only things I generally dislike are country and super heavy metal basically)

learning new things (esp science, philosophy, psychology, medicine). Even though I am very into science side, that doesn't mean I don't enjoy creative works! Anyone with a creative side is also very impressive to me as I personally have never graduated past the stick drawing level lol

honest, open, deep/personal communication (this is a big one for me. I truly feel that almost anything can be resolved if two people properly communicate their wants, concerns, feelings, etc. If you couldn't tell by the post, I like to truly get to know someone and share myself fully with a person and hope to find someone that is like-minded. At worst, you learn that you two just aren't compatible and can peacefully move on without the typical drama)

(re)learning how to play the electric guitar

exercise (I'm around 150ish lbs, toned (aka have abs but not like 9-inch biceps lol), I run a few miles 2x a week and then walk quite a bit to get to places since a lot is very close. I do NOT expect you to be as or more active (although that would be AWESOME as I'd love an exercise buddy to keep each other motivated)).

single, disease, drug, and child-free and expect the same (but it's fine if you've smoked weed in past as long as it's not your whole personality lol)

watching movies (mainly sci-fi, action, comedy. esp enjoy deep ones that make you think such as Interstellar, Inception, Limitless, etc), shows, memes, educational/funny youtube vids, etc. I love to share random things that remind me of you after getting to know you a bit.

When responding please don't just say things like "hi, how are you?". Instead, consider what drew you in/you liked about my post? Or mention what we have in common or some cool differences, a funny random story, or anything else that you think showcases at least a bit of what type of person you are.

highly prefer other apps for communication but it's fine if we stay on here till more comfortable with each other. I promise to respond to everyone and will never randomly ghost as I hate that as well.

Edit: If the post is still up, I'm still looking so feel free to send a message if my post resonated with you
