Hello there. It feels incredibly awkward trying to come up with something to start this post. So hopefully this will suffice.

My names Josh, and as stated in the title, I am 27, from Australia (NSW), and looking to build a connection with someone. One that lasts a lifetime would be ideal : ) Physically, I am 178cm, roughly 90kg with a little belly, short dark brown hair, brown eyes, and a short beard. In terms of who I am as a person, there's a lot I could say. Yet, I feel it's rather disingenuous to just list a bunch of qualities/traits I believe I possess - I would rather show you who I am. But, I understand you would need something to go off of, and me showing you takes time. So, I would describe myself as a quiet, kind, and compassionate person, who values intimacy, honesty, trust, and quality time spent together. But I must warn you, my cheeky/sassy side comes out when I get to know you better. I have my quirks and oddities, like everyone else, but they make me who I am, and I am happy that they do. Hopefully you'd like them too ; )

In my spare time, I typically either play games or cross stitch. But I also absolutely love to cook and bake, am an avid squash player, starting to get into gardening more, and somewhat of a reader (although I haven't felt that itch to read much these past couple of months). I've also really wanted to start practicing juggling again. I can't tell you why, but it came up randomly over the past couple of days.

In terms of who I am looking for, I'll be honest and say that I'm not entirely sure myself. I don't have any specific 'criteria' that I'm looking for. When given a choice, I'd rather 'fall' in love than look for it (if that makes any sense). I would like for it to happen naturally; where two people develop a friendship and slowly over time it develops to something truly special. Sounds cliche and somewhat sappy, but hey, why not!. My only specifics would be someone who doesn't smoke (or drink - but that's not a deal breaker) and is close to my age. I would strongly prefer someone also in Australia or NZ, but don't let that deter you if you think we'd get along.

I look forward to hearing from you : )
