Life has been a whirlwind over the past year or so. As it stands currently I'm not in any serious relationship and starting to wonder if the relationship I want even exists. I've even had more than one person respond to previous ads knowing they didn't want what I'm looking for, which was confusing to me.

I want to be with someone who views every day with me as a new adventure. For me, the excitement never wears off because if I love someone, I'm all in. I have no reserve and every moment we spend together is the best part of my day. I crave physical affection. I am eternally generous and patient in a relationship. I can't think of a single love language that I don't value.

I want good conversation that's equal parts fun and poignant. I want to talk about how we're feeling. I want to work our way through disagreements instead of giving the silent treatment. I want to listen to music together or pick a show to binge or go to the movies. I want to go to the gym together or a walk in the park. Pick up a hobby together, or connect over a shared hobby.

About me:

I am a music teacher and I have been for a long time. I love what I do, especially when I am able to reach someone who was struggling and didn't think they could do it.

I also like to cook (let's cook together), play video games sometimes, go to the gym or park, and binge shows on Roku. I have a lot of cats and I adore them.

Other hobbies and games I've enjoyed over the years: learning new musical instruments, playing Magic: The Gathering, Overwatch, several MMOs, or Pokemon (mostly the TCG but I've also played some of the games), disc golf at the park, Dungeons & Dragons, composing, writing, and finding new things to learn.

I have two kids and they're everything to me. They go to school where I teach, and I have them with me every other week after school.

In terms of what I'm looking for right now, I'm open to getting to know each other first. If there's good chemistry, I'd love a long term relationship. I don't mind seeing someone who already has a primary partner. If you're single and want to build something together, I'm also open to seeing if we're a good fit.

I just want to feel valued again and be with someone who is honest, accepts me for who I am, and can't get enough of me. Because that's how I am when I want to be with someone.

We need to be physically attracted to each other, of course. So we'll need to get that out of the way sooner than later. I don't want to waste or disrespect anyone's time if our attraction isn't mutual. I am 5'9" with greying hair, glasses, blue eyes, and a medium length beard. I can provide pictures upon request.

My DMs are open. This is just me putting this out there just to see if anything happens. Thank you so much for reading!
