About Me:

Medical student by day, aspiring French linguist by night. My cure for everything? Tylenol (not actual medicine). Êtes-vous d'accord? I am a curious, lifelong learner with a calm demeanor and a warm heart who values a healthy lifestyle. I cherish open, vulnerable relationships, and moments full of love. I love small, meaningful moments as much as the grand ones, whether it’s exploring a new restaurant, enjoying a walk through the park, or traveling across the country for a good cause. While medical school and being active help me stay grounded, I also know the value of downtime and deep conversations. My career is important, but life outside of work matters just as much. I can be serious when needed but have a goofy side too. And yes, I’m also awesome. At the core, I’m driven by a desire for connection and understanding.

Hobbies/Interests: Despite all these interests, I am a homebody.

• I love staying active through tennis, running, weightlifting, and long nature walks with music.
  
• Fun activities like bowling, visiting museums, rollerskating, rock climbing, and arcades are my go-tos for adventure.
  
• Movies are my favorite escape. My favorite genres are horror, sci-fi, and mystery/crime. Cozy movie nights with snacks are a must—favorites include The Thing, Whiplash, Donnie Darko, and Prisoners.
  
• There’s nothing like a rainy day spent reading by the window or enjoying a grilled cheese with tomato soup.
  
• I’m a food lover, so Ethiopian, Mediterranean, and Indian cuisine are my favorites. However, I am always excited to try something new.
  
• I am currently learning French (pour que nous puissions murmurer des mots doux dans une autre langue). Vous êtes partant? Please teach me a language!
  
• I enjoy board games, theatrical plays, and discovering hidden gems in the city.
  

Personality:

I am calm, curious, very affectionate, and thoughtful. I love taking time to connect through words or quiet moments of understanding. I’m a mix of easygoing and career-focused, but I make time for life’s little joys.

About You:

I would like someone who is active and who enjoys staying engaged through sports, nature walks, or fun activities. You know how to encourage me to grow, pushing me in a kind and supportive way. You’re not stubborn or arrogant—you use your intelligence to uplift rather than look down on others.

I’m looking for someone who’s not afraid to be vulnerable, values affection, and is deeply attached while prioritizing closeness with a partner (How do you say clingy without saying clingy?). I want someone who enjoys deep conversations and emotional intimacy. Mutual attraction is important, but qualities like kindness, a generous spirit, and a deep emotional connection are vital.

Politics:

I don’t align with one political party because I prefer to avoid polarized viewpoints. I value independent thinking over adopting all the views of a single group. I believe there are fundamental values and beliefs that everyone should hold, but beyond that, I’m open to respectful discussions. I enjoy exploring different perspectives and appreciate a partner who can do the same.

Religion:

I come from a religious background, though I don’t actively practice any specific faith. I’d describe myself as a "non-resistant nonbeliever," meaning I’m open to learning about spirituality and different beliefs without adhering strictly to one. I respect the role religion plays in people’s lives and am open to meaningful conversations about your beliefs.

Kids:

I’ve decided not to have kids. Instead, I want to focus my energy and love on building a deep, fulfilling relationship with my partner. I’d rather invest in our shared experiences, personal growth, and adventures together.

Pets:

I’m not a pet person and don’t have a strong desire for the maintenance that comes with having pets. However, I’m willing to accommodate if you have a pet and it’s important to you. I’d do my best to make it work for us.

Location:

While I’m currently based in Chicago, I’ll be moving temporarily to Florida for medical school. I wanted to share this upfront so you’re aware before messaging me! Long-distance isn’t my forte, and I’d ideally prefer someone nearby. I understand that’s tricky given that I am moving. However, I am open to making it work with the right person, especially if we can prioritize communication and quality time. Eventually, I’d hope for us to be together in the same place.

Last Thing:

Frequent physical intimacy is important to me. I see it as a way to feel deeply connected and cherished. It’s a way I express love and build emotional closeness, which I value immensely in a relationship.

Please PM, DM, or do the other M. I only ask for regular and consistent communication, please.
