I would like to find a lover who is thoughtful, kind, and well spoken with whom I can have frequent, intense, emotionally honest, uninhibited, erudite, grammatically correct, heady, and occasionally salacious text-based exchanges, starting now and lasting (hopefully) for a very long time -- maybe forever. I want us to be able to talk about anything under the sun, ranging from the nature of existence, to art, current events, our quotidian struggles, our hopes and dreams, and just, you know, how our days are going and what we're daydreaming about as we sit through another boring meeting at work. We'll become friends and lovers, and we can be there for each other, through the years.

I find that putting thought and care into text-based communications, and knowing that someone smart who cares is out there waiting to read my words with alacrity, makes me feel more connected to life and gives more weight to my existence. And I crave those feelings of connectedness and weight. I hope that I can give you those feelings too.

The way I picture this unfolding, fun and easy conversation will organically and gradually give way to more intense chat. I want to chat here on Reddit briefly to see if we get along and then move to Telegram.

I'm not actually in Seattle but I travel there a few times a year for business, so once we establish a connection, we can plan for and look forward to meeting in person. I realize that such infrequent meetups might not be for everyone, but I'm hopeful there is someone out there who, like me, feels that this kind of relationship is a bit more palatable if we're only actually physically transgressing (read: having sex) a few times a year.

Some details about me:

• 5'10" and a runner
• Work full time at a technology company
• Introverted, though I love to attend or host small parties
• Moderate social drinker
• Art and literature enthusiast
• Over the years others I've heard others describe me as kind, intense, sensitive, persistent and energetic
• I like to read, take photographs, listen to rock and jazz, hike, camp, and backpack

In sum, if you're a great communicator, looking for a deep, lasting relationship, and OK with this being mostly (but not completely) long distance, please get in touch.
