Hello :) My name is Sofia and I hope that posting here would garner the attention and mutual attraction that dating apps couldn't.

I'm looking for a man who will make me feel lucky to be with him. I want to feel that just blissed out, happy to exist in this small corner of the world kind of feeling. People chase this grand, insane feeling of being so madly infatuated, and I'm sure I'll feel that way too, but I want that peaceful contentedness even more. I want to hug and snuggle, get hand kisses, have someone open my door for me, cook and bake someone's favorite things, laugh at the dumbest inside jokes, have a family, and just be someone's best friend and person till the end of our lives. I'm very much a "mate for life" kind of personality and am in search of the same intentions.

Looking for:

• 29 - 35 years old
• established in your career and personal finances
• responsible for yourself and your actions.
• mature enough to communicate and hold respectful conversations.
• Health conscious, like to work out and take care of yourself and hygeine.
• You enjoy physical touch and affection.
• You treat others with kindness and patience.
• assertive but a softie for me.
• kinky to a certain degree (more info -> DM) and have a decent to high sex drive. Foreplay starts whenever the mood strikes.
• someone who wants a best friend and partner for life.
• will carry a polaroid of me in his wallet (just one of my desires ;) hahah).
• tall, tatted, and with facial hair gets extra points ★★★★★
• historically, I'm attracted to white men, but I don't have a true preference.

About me:

5'6, 145 lb, tan skin, wavy medium length black hair & brown eyes. Usually, I'm dressed in scrubs or workout clothes, but I like to dress up and make an effort for dates and events. I am South Asian ethnicity with a very strong cultural background, but I have minimal interest in following those norms. I know physical attraction is a factor, so pictures are available for exchange once we establish mutual interest.

My hobbies include going to the gym, cooking/baking/meal prepping, going on walks, basking in sunshine, reading trashy smutty romance novels, watching sports like soccer, basketball, baseball football, etc. (hyped for March madness), and spending time with family and friends. I grew up with only brothers, so I've been told I have a different personality, perhaps a bit more honest and open compared to most people my age or gender. I don't enjoy drama or playing games; I believe in giving people authenticity and good, kind actions even if you receive none in return.

Some personal goals for 2024: gain financial literacy & start investing, learn to surf, save up and prep to get/adopt a dog, go to 2 music concerts (so far I have Hozier down, yet to pick the other; maybe Creed), maybe make a career switch, drop to 25% body fat while maintaining muscle, and hopefully leave my current job by the end of this year or the beginning of next.

My dislikes: drama, taking selfies, dishonesty, cheating/disloyalty, centipedes, eggplant, cold weather & rain, loud chewing, negativity, strong or pungent smells.

I'm hopeful, but not looking for insta-love or movie worthy timelines; I think that love should be built with comfort and friendship as the foundation, given plenty of time to mature and deepen. This might mean we have a few weeks or months of conversation before we decide to move forward with meeting in person. Or perhaps long distance for a while before we meet someplace in the middle. I don't want to limit this by distance, but eventually I want to be with someone in person.
