Everybody Got Their Something - Nikka Costa - 2001: my go to happy song.

Everybody wants someone to put in effort, more effort than they want to put in themselves. As a young man, I didn't really know what I wanted. The quiet girl who listens and pays attention to me, I wasn't aware of how good that was, and squandered potential connection. Well, I know what I want now - someone I can talk with. Not talk at, I don't just want to ramble about myself. I do ramble though, when I meet someone who breaks through the my self-protective demeanor. I am reluctant to pursue - I want someone who just vibes with me and wants to get to know me. I'm stuck in my head, need someone patient with me, inquisitive about my life, I'll share just about anything as long as it's SFW.

About me: I'm a 50 year old, white male, raised in NE. I'm a homebody, because I don't have anybody to go out with and I'm an introvert with social anxiety. It only takes a little bit of chaos to upset me; I can't explain how unnerving it was to work on Monday(April 8, 2024) - I felt sick from the constant phone calls inquiring about Eclipse Glasses!

I don't want to hear "It's so hard to meet people." I know. I am well away of self-sabotaging behavior that leaves me feeling isolated. What I need is someone who can be cheerful, upbeat, and sweet. Physical appearance is important, I won't lie; but it's not what I fall in love with. I've fallen madly for someone who I was not initially attracted to (I was just polite, she misinterpreted that as interest and love bombed me!).

Interests: dancing, dating, dinner*, flirting, hanging out, discussing literature, music, television and film, philosophy, or anything interesting;

and trying to be realistic with out expectations.

(*depending on my anxiety level, this could be a disaster!)
