Ideally *date* > *cuddle buddy* > *relationship*

I hate apps but work from home and since Covid have had trouble meeting people in organic ways. Never married and have no kids. Looking to finally adopt a new dog after 4 years of intense mourning.

Looking for a leftish dude that's somewhat into music or art etc. I like movies/coffee shops/live music. Most of my 20's and 30's pre Covid I spent seeing local indie shows (raves when I was younger) and reviewing local community theatre. I really love Madonna and The Prodigy as well as drum n bass, happy hardcore, 90's dance music, indiepop, indie/folk, acoustic singer songwriter stuff, dreampop etc and generally smaller shows and would never expect to drag a man to a stadium concert to see say Lady Gaga (I'll go on my own or with a gay friend unless you really want to go lol) and looking to see how the West end has changed after a decade in the East end as well. Would like to find a boyfriend eventually and definitely not looking for hookups. Coffee dates/Patios (while still possible/Shows/Movies with a drink before are a good Winter date idea for me. I'm not too hung up on politics in terms of romance but you really do have to support Gaza at this point.
