Hello! I'm 26 years old and I live in the Bay Area, and I'm looking for someone to go on dates with and basically just pretend we met on a regular dating app and (ideally) fall in love.

About me:

So, the easiest way to get a picture of me (Especially for bay area people) is I definitely am a bit of a stereotypical white tech guy in some ways. I work as a software engineer, I like rock climbing with my friends, I enjoy outdoorsy trips to Tahoe and Yosemite, and like reading books (especially sci fi/fantasy) and playing nerdy board games and video games, and I'm definitely a bit of an introvert.

I also have plenty of less basic interests though, I do martial arts pretty regularly, cause the easiest way to motivate myself to work out is to have someone try to attack me. I really enjoy cooking, and try to cook something for my friend group at least once a month to try out new recipes.

Like I mentioned above, I'm definitely an introvert. I love social activity, but I need quiet time to recharge, and I'm looking for the person that I can just spend time with even when I'm on a low social battery. I also like to think of myself as a very moral person, like it's just really important to do the Right Thing in as many aspects of your life as you can, and I try to live up to that as much as possible. Anyway, this is probably getting to deep for a random personals ad, so I'm going to move on to the rest of it.

Ideal date(s):

• getting food and going swing dancing
• An adventure just going somewhere where we don't know for sure what's going to happen. Honestly I feel like I'm not explaining this vibe very well. Listen to the song "You told the drunks I knew Karate". Honestly mid tier song, but top tier date vibes
• getting food and going to a book store!
• staying inside binging a tv show cause we spent social energy on date idea one
• getting food

Life goals:

• Make money at my job for 10-15 years, and then "retire" into a more helpful job. Id love to become a teacher, or an EMT
• find a cute girl to spend my time with. If she's a little bossy... well that's just icing on the cake.

About you( hopefully):

• Not completely bored by the rambling and disorganization of this post
• ideally between 23-30. Mildly flexible there.
• interested in hobbies of some sort. If we don't have a ton of the same hobbies, that's cool I like learning about new stuff and sharing my stuff
• local to the bay area would be great. Down to talk to people who aren't local, but I'm not a big fan of pursuing long term long distance relationships.

I'm definitely interested in moving forward at a slow to moderate pace physically, but considering the subreddit I should also briefly mention kinks. I like when a girl is bossy and in charge, particularly orgasm control. That's the main one I have any experience with, but I'll try (almost) anything twice. If you want more specifics, I'm down to talk as we get more acquainted. I'm happy to send a SFW picture when you reach out and hopefully you will be to

Anyway, please LMK if you're interested or have questions!
