Hi there!

Fall is a strange time. I put a jacket on this morning when I went to teach a yoga class, and then later when I went to an audition, I was hot in a sweater. There are so many fall activities, though! I would love to roast marshmallows and make s'mores. And go apple picking. And bake an apple pie. And walk hand-in-hand, crunching leaves underneath our feet.

More than anything, I crave being deeply understood. For the longest time, I thought the desire to be understood was a universal thing. But then, I guess it's not surprising my Enneagram is type 4. And that my love language (receiving) is words of affirmation.

Like, also, I want to understand connection. What is it that determines if two people will connect? Does there always need to be a zing? But maybe you don't need to understand something, maybe sometimes it's OK to just feel it. Perhaps we'll spend hours enmeshed in conversation, feeling like the future is limitless. Let's talk about our fears and dreams and idle thoughts and daily anecdotes and how we've grown.

I'm looking for a monogamous life partner. I'm open to location, though I would want to meet/close the gap in short order if things felt good. (Maybe you're in/from San Diego? Looking at my astrocartography map, that's a good love spot for me.)

The life I'd love to create with you

• I want to build a solid, healthy partnership rooted in trust and respect. And joy and silliness and growth and understanding and forgiveness.
• As a team, we create a safe space to express what we’re feeling openly and honestly.
• We cook together or I’ll make you dinner. Our home is regularly filled with the smell of fresh-baked bread.
• Trips to zoos and aquariums and camping trips and dinner dates and watching shitty movies (okay, good movies sometimes, too.)
• A focus on best intentions, not perfection.
• Regularly expressing that we value and appreciate each other.
• A strong commitment to our relationship, even in tough or challenging times. Let’s be each other’s biggest cheerleaders and supporters.
• A beautifully intimate relationship where we know each other deeply.
• Communication/treating each other in the kind, honest manner that ensures our relationship would never end up in an AITAH-type sub.

If this ad resonated with you, please send me a thoughtful message (I prefer that to chats; I don't have the reddit app on my phone 🙃). After that, I'd love to hop on an audio call. I find that's the easiest/fastest way to gauge compatibility (and it's also nice to hear another lady's voice)

Looking forward to connecting!

p.s. Here's me. No pressure to include your picture in your first message, though.
