I'm searching for a cuddle partner for a very long term relationship ideally, but understandable if you want to keep it casual initially or even just wanting to only be friend, I will respect it (consent is number one first and foremost after all)

This is my preference for someone I'm looking to be in relationship (not all of these are compulsory of course):

• Around my age (approx around 28-36 years old)
• Into indie gaming scene (or just gaming in general)
• Interested in Japan, especially manga and games
• Likes cute things! Stuff like kirby keychain/plush for example
• Enjoys light board games (my favorite is splendor and sushi go)
• Enjoys finding and trying new food places (I prefer Asian cuisines usually, but happy to try new things)
• 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, 169cm and 68kg about average size body if that matters, Indo-Chinese Asian male (I can't speak/read Chinese much though), located in the CBD area. I describe myself as tinkerer, DIYer, indie video gamer, Japan tourist, and apartment gardener. I also enjoy writing dot points list, cooking, gardening, and I recently got into tinkering with mini PC and trying to build an arcade at home of some sort. I'm a pretty quiet, introverted and mostly a homebody, but I have no problem with going out from time to time as well and I'm working on to be more talkative and less shy!

Other topic of interests is technology (in electricity and recycling), documentary movies (I enjoyed watching A Compassionate Spy and Beyond Utopia), and trying to learn Japanese language

Usually I spend my weekend at home, doing a combination of the following things: playing games, 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!

Here are some of the things I enjoy which hopefully we could bond over!

• 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

And here are the things I can bring on the relationship table when we know each other more:

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

A trivia about myself is that I can put my leg above my head and 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. If you want, we can meet up early at around Melbourne Central/Flagstaff area (again, you can choose the place if it makes you more comfortable) so we can meet in person directly, though it's probably best that we chat online and get to know each other a bit first
