Me: Introverted, married elder millennial who works (a lot) from home and struggles to make real connections with people. It can take time to really open up and it doesn’t happen often, but we keep trying, right? I know there are people you meet that feel like you immediately Bluetooth connect and you’re just on the same wavelength. Does that still happen after the whole pandemic thing?

Music is one of my biggest passions, and a lot of my free time goes to it. Listening, playing or writing little songs that make me happy. I’m also branching out into stories more and more lately, we’ll see if I ever get one totally finished.

I love animals. I have three but my “lottery dream” would be a sanctuary farm.

I’m open to long term chats, maybe the occasional voice chat if we get along, or even just a conversation for the night if that’s all we end up having. I will say, please be prepared to leave Reddit chat. I will not maintain a conversation here, the interface sucks and I don’t get alerts. I also don’t love the penpal vibe of messages or email, so some kind of messaging app.

I won’t narrow you down too much, other than saying no creeps or assholes. And I’m very liberal, so if you’re very conservative we just wouldn’t see eye to eye on much or have much in common. And absolutely no Trumpers.

While I would love to make friends close enough for real life, I understand most of the people that will see this are not. I will say it’s probably easier if you’re at least in North America, I keep a pretty early schedule (both waking and sleeping) so it helps if you’re similar. Work can keep me pretty busy during the early hours of the week days, but if we get along and you’re patient, there will be time.

If you made it all the way here, you might as well check the profile and send a message now, right?
