Hi. I've been pretty lonely lately, and I think it's time that I put some effort into changing that. I'm looking for friendship chiefly, but something flirty or romantic would be very welcome.

The last ten years of my life have challenged me greatly, and because of these challenges I don't quite have all of my shit together. I'm actively working on it, but it's still a work in progress. I'm not the normal 32 year old dude who has an education and a career path. Instead, I'm a 32 year old dude who is considering going back to school and currently lives at home (which I'm deeply ashamed of, whether or not the shame is justified). I think these things make me damn near undateable, and I fully understand why.

So I'm looking for someone who is unbothered by these things and can understand how things can go unexpectedly and lead to mental and physical challenges.

I'm not just an approaching-middle-age degenerate. I'm also a thoughtful and sensitive person who feels things hard and loves even harder. I'm extremely self-aware and laughably loyal to the people who have proven their worth to me.

As far as my interests and hobbies go, I've got a few. I'm vegan and liberal politically. I make natural homemade soaps for fun. I have 3 cats that I love very much. I have a fairly deep relationship with music and lately have been listening to some metalcore stuff that I'm having a lot of fun with. I have a big board game collection and play as often as I can. I'm in the second month of my first campaign of Pandemic Legacy Season 1.

Alright that's enough background info. I hope to hear from you. The more you say in your response, the more I'll have to actually start a conversation with. Thanks for reading.
