Can't post on the other subreddit hihu so here na lang

Hello everyone. I decided to give dating another chance, a sort of advanced New Year's resolution. This will be the last time I do this... I hope. Will be deleting this once I feel like I already found someone.

If you asked me to introduce myself back then, I'd probably have two different answers. One is based on how other people perceive me, and the other is how I perceive myself. Now that my imposter syndrome is at the end of its reign, I'm just going to make one introduction.

Hi! Kumusta? Ano lamang? I'm a 23-year-old born and raised in the Home of the Oragons (iykyk). I'm currently in my first year of a 4-year postgrad degree, so life can get pretty busy. When I’m not drowning in academics, I’ve dabbled in a ton of hobbies—some stuck, some didn’t—but I always find time to unwind with shows like B99, Law and Order SVU, Bob’s Burgers, or even Family Guy. The last series I finished was Revenant, and I loved it.

I’m mostly a homebody, but I do enjoy going out, especially to places where there aren’t a lot of people. Aimless walks? 10/10, would recommend. Recently, I’ve also been really enjoying going to places by myself—sometimes for no real reason, and it’s oddly freeing. Oh, and I love cats.

My music taste is... confusing, to say the least. My Spotify Wrapped had 1D and Akon as top artists, and my top songs included Hollaback Girl, Dynamite, and Be Like That.

Personality-wise? I’m mostly quiet, but get me talking, and I can be a real yapper. My main love language is acts of service—both giving and receiving. I appreciate it when someone notices my needs and takes little actions to honor them.

As for you: - Preferably, you’re also from the same loc (but it’s not a dealbreaker). - Not more than 3 years older or 2 years younger than me. If you’re older and think we might click, though, feel free to DM me anyway. -I’m really drawn to people with a gentle, grounded aura. Someone cute, considerate, and calm with their words and actions—but who can also initiate things since I tend to be more reserved. A grounded, calm-sounding voice? Extra attractive. - Preferably someone who maintains a slim or average build. I’ve always been on the smaller side myself, and it’s just what I feel most comfortable with. - I find physical touch comforting at times, so bonus points if you do, too. - For men: I’m more into the warm, gentle, and introverted types. - For women: I gravitate toward the cool, masculine-presenting, flirty ones. - Oh, and please—no vices.

At the end of the day, I’m just looking for a relationship where I can be 100% myself—quirks, weirdness, and all—without fear of judgment. If that sounds like something you’re into, drop a message.

Note: I wrote this in English because it’s what I’m most comfortable with when writing, but when chatting, I mostly use Filipino or Taglish.
