Hey there, I'm Quinn. I've posted here quite a few times, but I'm thinking this might actually be my last one. So with that in mind, I figured I should make it a good post, at least. I am not really good when it comes to writing about myself or trying to articulate what I'm looking for, to be honest. However, I will try my best so please bear with me, okay?

About Me

I'm a 29 year old African-American woman living in the United States and a part-timer who works overnight. It's not ideal and I kinda want to put my degree to use so I've since started trying to pursue a career in UX Design. I'm interested in a wide variety of things including art, psychology, curating playlists, video games (co-op, simulation, fps and mmo), creative writing, poetry, astrology, meme culture, tiktok, travel, language learning, reading (kinda) and cooking (sorta.) I have a two year old Tortoiseshell cat named Nova so I will talk about her often and share pictures for those with an equally yoked appreciation for cats. Although I'm not one for "labels", if we're being technical, I do identify as Demisexual. That, for me, just means that I need to form an emotional connection with you before we get romantically involved and I generally prefer to take things slow in my relationships. I'm spiritual but not religious and I'm not interested in joining an organized religion either.

As far as my personality goes, I would say I'm naturally reserved and sometimes annoyingly inquisitive. If you know anything about the whole "MBTI" stuff then I would say I'm a textbook INTP-T. Although I can appreciate silence, I can also be talkative and unhinged when I'm comfortable with someone. I have no qualms about being "weird" or saying my intrusive thoughts out loud and I like to think it makes for a good laugh or genuine entertainment, at the very least. I don't like small talk because I'm not good at it and prefer to connect deeply or not at all. So yes, I may or may not turn your rant about your coworker into a unrealistic hypothetical or group therapy session and it's never really intended. It's just the way my mind works, I guess. I know myself well and are deeply passionate about understanding others too and have been told by friends and family that I have a wonderful sense of self. Writing about myself is quite tedious though so I think it's better if you just talk to me for yourself and form your own opinion, no?

What I'm Looking For

To keep it short and simple, a long-term monogamous relationship with a man. Though if I were to complicate that then I would say not just any man, but a man who is much like a friend first and a lover second. I don't want to be with a clone of myself, but more so someone who compliments me and pushes me to be my best self. A man who is thrilled by the idea of getting to know me and jumps at any chance to spend time with me and is okay with taking things slow. An excellent communicator who is mature, emotionally intelligent, open-minded, socially aware and won't shy away from conflict or difficult conversations. I'd like someone who is as comfortable with themselves as I am with myself and who also knows what they want. We don't have everything in common and that's okay. However, we do share similar morals, values and goals for the future. We are compatible where it counts and are physically attracted to each other as well. Ideally, you appreciate quality time and are open to watching shows/movies, playing games together, listening to music, video chatting and voice calling from time to time.

Logistically, you should be between the ages of 25 and 37 and yes, this is a non-negotiable for me. Those who are outside this age range, need not apply. I am not a stickler when it comes to location, however, the closer we live to each other, the better. I've attempted long distance relationships before and could be open to it again for the right person. However, I do expect that equal effort be put into the connection to keep it alive and there should be a clear plan in place to close the distance at some point, should things become serious. Also no, race, ethnicity, culture or heritage is not an issue for me as I'm an equal opportunist. I've been involved with many from all walks of life so I encourage you to come as you are if you think we'd make a great fit.

If any of this piqued your interest then please send me a DM or open a chat with a selfie and some information about yourself. I do read all of my messages and I appreciate anyone who takes the time to write something thoughtful. I do not respond to empty chats, low-effort dms (e.g. "hi", "how are you", "you're pretty", etc), anything inappropriate (nsfw) or those who are outside of my age preference.

And on the off chance I happen to find someone, I will delete this post so as long as I have it up, you are free to assume I'm still looking. So feel free to message me whenever you see this.

I look forward to meeting you and thanks if you've read this far!
