Maybe this is a long shot, but it might also be just the perfect place. Dating apps are garbage and meeting people in real life seems impossible these days. Well, for me at least. What kind of psycho just bothers people in public these days?!

I mean, I've actually had the good fortune of meeting a few partners in real life. Sometimes a mutual friend, sometimes a total shot into the dark "ask you out while in line for coffee" sort of thing. Some people say romance is dead but not to this guy! I'm here taking my shot and putting it all out there (minus a picture but I'm happy to share once we talk!)

I think it's just a little more difficult to make that sort of connection, or find it, as I get busier as an adult. Plus, as I've dated and experimented I've come to understand a lot more of what I really want in a relationship. I could take a chance and randomly date again but this seems like a really good opportunity to write at length about myself, what I'm looking for, and what I'm not looking for.

For starting a short physical description -

White

200lbs

5"10'

Tattoos (nothing major just a sleeve and some extras)

Short brown hair

Pretty average build but I'm working on my ideal body type.

You can probably tell I'm a...super average white guy lol. I've never been bad in the looks department. I tend to get "cute" but not hot or built or sexy or anything. I just like to be in an area where I'm confident about my body and am able to enjoy it (as well as my future partner.)

Health is important to me in that aspect. No body is perfect but diet and exercise only get more difficult the older you get and I'd like to find someone that compliments that area of my life (maybe not work out together but it's always way harder to not go to the gym when you see your partner driving out in the snow to get it done).

I enjoy a mixture of being active, even in the winter. That means a lot of hockey, gym time, walks and hikes. Really whatever I'm feeling for being active that day. It's not everything and I don't go overboard with it, believe me. I enjoy sitting around and binging tv or playing games with my friends as much as the next person.

I tend to use way too much humor. Definitely to a fault sometimes. My therapist would definitely say it's a defense mechanism but....well nobody is perfect! And there's definitely a lot worse mechanisms out there lol.

Personally I enjoy my work. I just got into a new field (been working at getting into it FOREVER) so I'm super jazzed about that. I don't have any pets but I'm hoping to have a dog someday.

Like I said, my free time after work is mostly a mixture of being active, cooking, playing games with friends, watching some choice moves or TV shows. On the weekends I enjoy going out to a cafe and getting some reading done. But ultimately with me I'd say you're signing up for fun nights and a committed partner.

Other people's happiness is important to me. I'm definitely the "start your car and wipe it off of snow" in the morning type of guy. Just doing the little things to let you know I care means a lot to me.

Ok, my thumbs are about to fall off after typing all of this. Remember when you had to hit each number pad multiple times back in the day to choose each letter for a text message? Shit was wild.

I'm happy to exchange photos once we get talking and there's a vibe.

So, if this is something you're interested in and you think you might want to strike up a convo to dive a little deeper, send me a short intro message about yourself! :)
