Hey all! Hope your thanksgiving weekend went well without any family drama.

I thought I'd try making another post here to see what fish I can catch.

A little about me:

I'm Chinese American, 5'8". Physically, I'd say I'm average, maybe leaning towards the dad bod, but definitely working on it. Down a few lbs since I've started getting into fitness more. Currently at 168, trying for 155 or even 145 at some point.

Here's a picture of me at PAX East this year.

I'm a mechanical engineer, so you know I'm nerdy and awkward. I live in NJ, but I'm right next to a bus stop that goes straight into the city.

I am pretty shy, but once I get to know you more, you get to see the playful awkwardness instead of just the normal awkwardness.

But, when it comes to dating, my awkwardness goes through the roof lol. I've been in a grand total of one relationship which ended years ago, and I've been single since. I'm the kind of guy who thinks too much and worried about what she'll think - a classic "Is she sending me signals? What the f- do I do with my hands? What if she's just being nice" type of beat.

As for hobbies, I'm into all things nerdy: video games, TV, anime/manga, reading, D&D, etc. A chill night in with some food, games or a movie is always a vibe. I could probably talk your ear off about video games if you let me. As for books, I mainly stick to scifi and fantasy books (s/o to Brandon Sanderson the 🐐). I've been reading the Wheel of Times series most recently.

But, besides that, I love to cook. I'm definitely not a professional chef by any means, but I love trying new recipes. I've got a few healthy meals recipes that I need to try out. Send me your secret family recipes please 🥰

I do like trying new things, if you can drag me off my computer or couch 😂. Recently been getting into pickleball and bowling, but I'm still absolutely mid at both of them. I do want to go for my first road trip at some point.

I've been getting into fitness too! Have a steady workout going, and also go indoor rock climbing from time to time - bouldering mainly (climbing V2-4s).

Send me a chat if you're interested! I am mainly looking for people on the near me on the east coast so we can meet up.
