Hello! I hope you're doing well.
Some general details about myself: I'm initially shy and easily flustered. I'm kind, caring, supportive, empathetic, non-judgmental, and respectful. I make a very good friend, in my opinion (and from what my friends tell me). I'm nerdy, I love games, animation/anime, film/tv, and I read. I wish I played D&D or something similar more often. I'm a college graduate, I can talk about pretty much anything with someone. I'm a very verbose individual, so you're going to get paragraphs of text. I'm a very left-leaning individual. Pro-cannabis/shrooms edibles.

I find myself struggling with the lack of intimacy in my life a lot lately.
I've got some personal growth to deal with in life before I think I'm better boyfriend/husband material, but... things take time, I don't want some unknown number of months or years to go by where I could have had some wonderful connections, sharing life and exploring things I otherwise enjoy, just because they're aren't in the "perfect" context I'd otherwise prefer them. You never know how much time you've got, and life is already too short, imo, and I'd like to share what aspects of intimacy/fun I'm able, while able. And there isn't really much in the way of local options.

So, dear internet strangers, maybe we can help one another be a little less lonely, for a time. Flirting, remote-"cuddling", watching a film/show together, falling asleep together. Any of that would be lovely on it's own. And, if you find yourself interested in something more intimate, that would be nice, too. It takes some time spent together to get to know one another, to develop trust, in order for me to get comfortable with someone and to engage in those kinds of activities. The friendship is more important than any sexual conversation/activity, for me, and I'm not really the type to push boundaries or pressure people to do things. I tend to match what vibe/tone the person I'm with is presenting, so I'm going to treat things platonically unless you make it clear you're interested in more. If you just need or want a friend, and don't find yourself inclined for more, that's perfectly valid, too. The last thing I want to do is cause unwanted discomfort.

As for what I'm hoping for...
I'm a socially anxious and neurodivergent individual, so I really appreciate women who are direct, aggressive, flirty, pushy, clingy, etc. Those traits aren't required, of course. We all come in different flavors, and I enjoy most of them. As long as you think you're capable of being a patient and empathetic individual, and who has the time to grow a friendship with someone, I'd love to see if we click. I would strongly prefer you be single, and child free. Having the time to have an active friendship, to spend time together, watch things together, and playing (either actual games, or intimately if you're inclined) is kind of important to what I'm hoping for.

On the Benefits side of things, if one is interested:
I'd say I'm strongly a Switch, Sub-leaning, especially early on. There's just so much fun to be had on both sides of the dynamic. I'd say I'm a very open-minded and kinky individual, though we've all got limits, and I'm happy to discuss specifics in more detail later, if you're interested, though in the interest of time, here's a rough/brief rundown of my buttons. (Please note, my buttons are not representative of my world views.)

I'm happy to chat over text through reddit for a bit, but I'd really like to be able to move to voice chat. I love accents, so if English isn't your first language, that's a delight, too. Someone trying to teach me their language sounds like a fun time.

I think I'm a very flexible person, I don't ghost people, I value creating meaningful and lasting connections, and I care greatly about the wellbeing of those in my life. If any of this resonated with you or sounds like something you'd like to explore further, or if you'd just like a friend, I'd love to hear from you.
