As the title says, I'm a single guy that's ready to jump back into dating to hopefully find a long-term relationship, although I'm trying as much as I can to avoid the hell-hole that is dating apps :)

I'm 39 my personality can probably be split into two parts: First comes the homebody, geeky part. I love videogames. Legend of Zelda is my favourite gaming series. I'm currently playing through Elden Rings and although I generally don't like Souls-like games, somehow I find myself pretty into this one!

I'm also big into board games and have an ever-growing collection. My friends and I get together every Saturday to play board games throughout the day and if we hit it off you'd be welcome to join!

Other things I enjoy at home are reading (mostly sci-fi and fantasy, I'm a huge fan of Pratchett), watching the occasional show, cooking delicious feasts and cats. Although the cat part is starting to get into the second part: the outdoorsy bit, because I go on outdoor walks with my cat in the neighbourhood when it's warmer outside.

We've also done other adventures like hiking trails (great success, if a bit slow) and kayaking (limited success there!). Other outdoorsy or sporty things I enjoy are playing soccer, hiking, cycling, camping, travel and rock climbing (although haven't been since the pandemic - want to get back into it together?).

I grew up in the Middle East, but have been here for over 20 years now and find myself much more culturally aligned with Canada than the Arab world. I'm not religious, consider myself a feminist and all and all, other than a taste for delicious Middle Eastern food, I don't find myself at home back there.

In terms of deal breakers, I don't have many but please be a non-smoker. Also, it's likely that having kids aren't in my future, so if you are 100% certain you want kids, I'm not your guy. I drink casually although I'm not a big drinker, and occasionally enjoy some weed gummies but I'm by no means a pothead.

If we share any of the above interests, feel free to drop me a message and let's chat! Happy to exchange pics too. I'm also always open to exploring new hobbies if you'd like to introduce me to something you enjoy, or sharing my own hobbies with someone new :)

PS: I'd prefer an inbox message with a bit about yourself, instead of a chat message.
