TL;DR at the end.

Currently single and seeking meaningful connections, fun or friends, as dating/networking apps suck. I'm 35M and have lived a diverse life filled with many experiences. I’m open to a variety of connections, from casual and friendly to more intimate and lasting relationships. Whether you’re looking for something short-term, long-term, or even just a one-off, I’m open-minded about where things go. I’m happy to host, and long distances don’t bother me; I’ve dated halfway around the world and have friendships that span decades.

My interests are broad and diverse, with a strong passion for both indoor and outdoor activities. When it comes to gaming, I’m equally at home in the world of video games and tabletop. My favourite video game franchises include Halo, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, Pokémon, Dragon Age, and Borderlands. I also love tabletop games, with a deep appreciation for D&D, BattleTech, and Shadowrun—all of which I enjoy in various forms, from RPGs to wargames. Fallout is another series I appreciate across video game and tabletop formats. These games provide me with a creative outlet and a way to connect with others who share similar interests.

When it comes to TV and movies, my tastes lean heavily toward fantasy, sci-fi, and horror—especially anything with zombies. I’m a fan of NCIS and am easily captivated by the complex world of anime, which I follow extensively. As for Star Wars vs. Star Trek, well, let’s just say I can’t pick sides—I’d rather be at both the Cantina and Ten Forward. My creative side leans toward digital and written work, with a special love for cosplay and making costumes or props. I’m a bit out of practice with cosplay, but I’m eager to get back into it, especially as I’ve only recently returned to conventions since Covid changed everything. Coding is another hobby of mine, and I enjoy volunteering to run wargames at events, conventions, and my local game shop. For me, creativity is a natural extension of my interests and a way to engage with the world on a deeper level.

In my free time, I enjoy a balance of culture and exploration. I’m as content visiting museums, parks, and historical sites as I am hiking, boating, or camping. I’m currently recovering from a long-term knee injury, which has limited some of my outdoor pursuits, but I still try to explore and enjoy nature whenever possible. I’m also perfectly happy to unwind with theatre, concerts, a good book, or Netflix.

While I don’t drink, do drugs, or smoke, I’m always up for a good time and don’t mind if a partner enjoys drinking recreationally—I’m even happy to join in for a toast. I’d say I’m religious in my own way but identify as Mormon, as my local church’s approach to theology, charity, and community really resonates with me. That said, I’d never impose my beliefs on anyone or expect them to share the same views. And, to be fair, my polyamorous and demisexual tendencies might get me into trouble if my church ever finds out—guess I’ll cross that bridge if I come to it!

In relationships, I’m deeply attentive and committed. I’ll admit I sometimes lose track of time between messages with friends—unless I’m in a relationship, then you’re pretty much stuck in my head all the time. If you’re seeking intimacy, affection, or just genuine attention, I can promise that I’m very present in relationships. While I can fall in love easily if someone truly interests me, I don’t fall out of love easily. Though I’ve never quite mastered the art of flirting and courting (so I sometimes need direct cues to know someone’s interested), I do enjoy giving compliments that make people blush and smile—one of the most beautiful reactions to see.

My intimate boundaries are all about your comfort, as I have very few limits myself and believe in savoring every shared moment. I’m attentive to every touch and response, noticing which touches and actions make you quiver, which cause your breath to catch, and how they change the symphony of your moans. I’m drawn to learning the rhythm of your body, exploring each reaction with intention, taking pleasure in knowing what brings you to that perfect edge. Whether I’m giving or simply admiring, I find endless allure in feminine beauty—be it through a confident smile, a blush, expressive eyes, or the curves beneath a well-chosen outfit. For me, intimacy is about creating a space where every connection and sensation builds to something profound, whether it’s slow and tender or wild and insatiable.

As someone who is currently single, polyamorous, and demisexual, I value connections that develop naturally and are based on genuine emotional depth. While I’m open to multiple relationships, I lean toward exclusivity and fully respect those who seek the same from me. I’m equally content with either monogamy or exploring a broader relationship structure if it’s something we both want. If you’re interested in having another partner, I’m flexible and open to being either directly involved or more hands-off—especially if that partner is female, as I genuinely appreciate the beauty of the female form and, to be honest, find an enticing view and a new friend who values you as much as I will to be a welcome addition. For me, a connection with anyone you’re close to is essential, and I believe that jealousy, secrecy, or ‘hidden’ dynamics wouldn’t be fair to anyone. I prefer additional partners to be female, both because of my own interests and, let’s be real, because I understand how we men can be.

People sometimes assume I’m introverted, but once I know you’ll engage with me, you might find it hard to shut me up about the things I love. I care deeply about those I connect with, though I’ve had my share of experiences with “fair-weather friends” and have sometimes been forgotten unless I’m actively around or reaching out. My past includes a range of personal experiences with abuse, making me particularly respectful of boundaries and sensitive to similar issues others may carry. I’m open to relationships with people with disabilities and am very comfortable adjusting to diverse needs.

Currently single, I’m seeking someone special, though I don’t yet know exactly who that might be. While I have my type, a good conversation can stretch my preferences in all sorts of interesting ways. I’m comfortable with age gaps and open to commitment. I enjoy a bit of risk and adventure, and I go into things quietly open to a future together or a family without requiring the same outlook. I’d love to consider something long-term or settling down, but I’m also open to where things naturally go. Whether you want a friend who’s attentive or something more, I’m here to explore it.

Above all, friendship is my foundation, and no matter where things go, I’ll always be a friend you can count on. While shared interests are great, I’m equally happy to explore new things or appreciate our differences. I’m deeply protective of those I consider “my people” and believe family is about more than just blood.

Whatever you’re looking for, I promise to be emotionally available, though I’ll admit this past year has been challenging. I’m on long-term sick leave due to my knee injury, assessing my future while doing physio and planning to return to work. And hey, if you steal my walking stick, I’d struggle to run off even if I wanted to, at least until this knee fully recovers!

If you’ve made it this far, I’d love to hear from you.
