Hellooo, I know this post is a LONG shot but I thought I’d see how I go anyway.

I’m 28 and female and have lived in Sydney my whole life. I’m currently single and while I keep trying to convince myself that it’s okay (and it mostly is), I do really deep down still often wish I had a partner sometimes.

I haven’t been with anyone very long-term in a few years and I am not really interested in casual encounters anymore. While I don’t have any major issues with being single and am actually quite independent - every so often I still get a pang of slight jealousy when I see a happy young couple holding hand and walking down the street at a park or chatting away at a cafe or restaurant. I like to do things on my own but I really do miss having someone special to do things with too.

I’ve tried the dating apps and found that most men tend to gravitate towards casual encounters or hook-ups. I’ve also just found it hard in general to hold conversations with most. Mental stimulation, intellectual and emotional compatibility are all really important to me and I find it hard to connect with someone in that regard the most. Obviously I do also care to an extent about physical attraction and chemistry but not as much as the former.

I thought I’d try my luck here and see if anyone may also be interested or feeling the same. Either way, I am also happy to just chat with anyone even if it can’t lead to anything serious as I enjoy making like-minded friends.😊

So about me: I’m 5’7, dark hair and eyes, kind of curvy but also looking to slim down a little. I have a really decent job in health that I enjoy and make a decent living. I really love sharing music and enjoy movie nights in under a cosy blanket as well as going out for movies. I love going out for drinks and chats as well as dinners or brunches. I do enjoy other activities like festivals or gigs. I used to go to the gym really often and want to get back into that routine. I’m always open to new adventures. I don’t think I live a crazy or hectic lifestyle and more so enjoy just the simple pleasures of life.

I mostly just want a partner that has a similar vibe to me. I enjoy texting and chatting a lot. I like sharing details and all sorts of things with each other. Ideally I’d want my partner to be like my best friend. I’d love to go on regular outings together and just be cute haha. I miss holding hands and snuggles while watching a movie at home (especially now that it’s winter). I miss having heated and passionate intimacy. I miss being touched and feeling electric. I miss soft kisses and tight hugs. I miss giving and receiving cute gifts. I guess I just miss feeling wanted and making someone feel the same way in return.

Sorry that this is a rather lengthy post. I just wanted to get a lot of my thoughts out into the open. If anyone would be interested in chatting and just getting to know each other better please do send a chat through :) I will keep this post up for a little while and hopefully find someone that resonates.
