Hey there, I've been craving to cuddle with someone for quite some time now, especially even more so now that it's getting colder and colder every day. Preferably, I'm looking for long term relationship if it works, but understandable if you want to keep it casual or friend with benefit or even just wanting to only be a friend, I will respect it (consent is number one first and foremost after all)

I just really like the idea of having someone lay on my body, falling asleep on my lap or hugging me and then waking up next to me; body warmth and skinship really does wonder to someone's happiness and mood. I'm also a big fan of lap pillow, doesn't matter whether it's me laying my head or girl (hopefully you!) laying their head on my lap while playing with hair or browsing phone or reading book or playing games, etc2

As for my preference for type of girl (not all of these are compulsory of course), I'm looking for:

• Around my age (like 25-36 years old)
• Into indie gaming scene (or just gaming in general)
• Have interest in Japan, especially manga and games
• Enjoys light board games (my favorite is splendor and sushi go)
• Enjoys finding and trying new food places (I prefer Asian cuisines usually)
• Playful! And a bit more on the initiative - because I'm not good at initiating (working on it though!) especially when it involves personal space as I tend to worry about breaching other people's personal space)
• Big bonus if you are skinship heavy kind of person as I can (and like to) be very skinshippy with someone I'm comfortable with, especially at home. I grew up in a family with a lot of touches, hence why this is a bit more emphasized for me as it helps me feel comfortable more quickly

So about me, I'm 33 (just had my bday very recently) Indo-Chinese Asian male (I can't speak/read Chinese at all though) located in the CBD area, primarily into indie video gaming, and also a bit of cooking and somewhat recently I REALLY got into gardening. I'm a pretty quiet, shy, introverted and mostly a homebody, but I have no problem with going out from time to time as well; I'm working on to be more talkative and less shy though!

Usually, I spend my weekend at home, doing a combination of the following things: playing games, browsing on phone (mostly looking at fanarts), cleaning the place, doing something with the garden, look for new DIY project to work on, going to the gym (very rarely :P) and going to Victoria market!

Other topic of interests is technology (in electricity and recycling), documentary movies (I enjoyed watching A Compassionate Spy and Beyond Utopia), learning Japanese language, and AI image generation but strictly for personal and humorous use (as I don't condone people stealing other people's art)

Here are some of the things I enjoyed:

• Music: Mostly older music like ones made by Michael Jackson, Weird Al, and probably other that I can recognize if I hear them but don't know their name. The more recent one I listened to is Red Vox band, otherwise I listen to video game soundtracks
• Youtube channels: Vinesauce, LGR, Civvie11, Accursed Farms, Decino, ManlyBadassHero, Not Just Bikes, Ordinary Sausage, Technology Connection
• Games: Too many to list them all, but here are some: Touhou, Risk of rain 1 2, Binding of Isaac, Megaman (pretty much all series), Dead Cells, Stardew Valley, Doom, Hades,
• I don't really watch TV shows, though I try to watch some Japanese TV show occasionally since they can be quite amusing (when I understand them) and good for my japanese learning too

I can offer the following:
- Cuddling and lots of them
- Gaming partner (or you can watch and commentate, that's fun too)
- Someone to go outing with
- Someone that can listen if you want to rant (be it about life, work, etc)
- Homemade Indonesian/ Chinese/Japanese cooking
- A place to crash in the city (when we're close enough)

A trivia about myself is that I can put my leg above my head. Also, I used to edit manga translation (I can translate a bit too, but I'm also still working on my Japanese language slowly)

We'll probably start with online chats (can do voice and video when comfortable, I got discord too if you prefer there instead) and then eventually meet up in person and eventually stay over at each other place from time to time! My preferred meetup locations are arcades, arcade bar (mostly fortress and bartronica), gallery/museum, and asian restaurants, though if you have your own preferred location that makes you feel much more comfortable, I'm happy to go with that as well. Hopefully, we'll eventually also go to events (maybe even kinky/adult events? I always wanted to try), in the future. I enjoyed my time going to a standup comedy, though really loud events aren't really my kind of thing

Lastly, while I'm happy to share a picture, I will not do so until I know you a bit better first, so please don't ask for a picture straight away nor be offended by this. I understand that physical attraction is just as important, but if you want, we can meet up early around Melbourne Central/Flagstaff area (again, you can choose the place if it makes you more comfortable) so you can see me in person directly, though it's probably best that we chat online and get to know each other a bit first
