Hi there!

5'10", 235lb, fresh haircut, fair-ish skin, brown eyes, size 13 Nike shoes, smooth baritone speaking voice. I'm at a point in my life where I've turned a lot around, and I think I'm ready to start dating again. I posted here a while back looking for a cuddle buddy, and that led to a wonderful friendship. Now, it's time for me to find a real partner. Dating apps haven’t been very helpful, people haven’t messaged back after matching and I’m sick of it. I’m looking to find the one person that I can form a deep and meaningful bond with.

Here's a couple pics of me https://imgur.com/a/VmugIpm

A bit about me: 23M, current engineering student in Philly, anticipated to finish in 2026. I'm a bit of a nerd that loves everything tech related, I build my own PCs and formerly ran a side gig doing system integration for various people and small companies. I own my own company now, though it’s not doing anything while I'm in school. Avid collector of various items, including but not limited to watches, playing cards, and lightsabers. I'm a big Star Wars fan, I love DIY projects (to the extent that I can do them in my apartment), and I appreciate a good cold glass of champagne on a Friday night. My hobbies include rabbit hole diving on Wikipedia, shooting, photography, keyboard building, and model railroading. I am an ex-voice actor, I used to do student films and I did a select few commercials for small businesses. I was always the "quiet kid" growing up, and I'm still shy today, to a degree. I am more of an introvert than an extrovert, though I can belt out a speech in front of the right crowd given adequate prep time. I've been told that I'm a sweetheart and a loverboy, I'm quite cuddly, and according to my best friend I am "Caring and thoughtful, and misunderstood”. I am actively attending therapy every week, and I’m on a set of stable meds that have allowed me to be much better than I used to be.

I love cats though I don’t own one of my own sadly. I have a dog back at my parents’ place named Clyde, he’s a black lab/great dane mix. I used to play video games including Forza and Minecraft, but I haven’t played either in a while. I still have my gaming PC though! I’ll still be someone who will watch and cheer you on in whatever game you’re playing (unless it’s mortal kombat, I hate blood and gore). I love everything to do with digital photography, I use a Sony A7C as my main camera right now, but I can’t afford Photoshop so I use GIMP. I do use public transit to get around, so if you’re close to a mass transit station/stop, all the better!

What I'm really looking for

• Someone kind, sweet, and open to embracing feelings

• Someone below the age of 30

• Someone close to or in Philadelphia

• Someone who is accepting of those with learning/developmental disabilities and mental disorders & is comfortable having a neurodivergent partner

• Someone who appreciates nerdiness and all the beauty that comes with it

• Someone who supports LGBT rights (I am bisexual myself)

• Someone that wants to see the inner good in people

• Someone who has time for dating & a relationship

• Someone who is DDF (I can’t smoke, and I’m clean, I would hope you are too)

• Preferably someone who leans left on the political spectrum (not an absolute requirement, but I say this to avoid massive arguments later on in life)

• Someone who is ready to commit to a partner long-term

• Someone who always wears a seatbelt in the car

I am strictly monogamous, I can’t do the poly thing. It just doesn’t work with my brain. I’m not very keen on joining a polycule. I have been called an “old soul” by people in my life, and I can’t disagree with them.

I’m keeping the NSFW stuff down here. I am bisexual, but truth be told sex has never been a priority for me. I’ve been told that I fall somewhere on the ace spectrum, but I don’t entirely identify with that label. I’ll have sex with someone I love, I just don’t see sex as something that should be the main focus in a relationship. I honestly value cuddles, snuggles, and quality time spent with my partner higher than sex in a relationship. I value pretty much anything over sex tbh.

I have my kinks/fetishes, but again that’s not a critical thing for me. I'll talk about those if they come up. The things that do matter to me though are my limits, which I will happily discuss in a DM. I tend to be a bit more on the submissive side with women, and with men I tend to fill the role of a soft top. I unfortunately cannot bottom for men due to advice from my doctors, sorry! Lastly, please don’t send me dick/titty/pussy/ass pics without consent, or ask me to be in an orgy/three-way/foursome. I have no desire to do any of that, and unfortunately I've been asked that too many times before.

I guess if you’ve read this far down, shoot me a DM or a chat. I don’t have high hopes here, but maybe you can prove me wrong!
