My name is Bear, yes really!

I'm 35, from Ohio, currently cruising around the country with my puppy Laird, AKA Larry. Maybe one day you can join me, I'm sure Larry will make room.

Enjoy my "wall of I's"

If you would play board games with me, my heart would melt! I don't mind letting you win.

I love thrift stores and flea markets. Also, I'm a big fan of farmers markets!

I love travel and taking random road trips. Let's just drive and see where we end up!

I'm a huge history and architecture nerd!

Museums and weird roadside attractions excite me way more than they probably should.

I loveeeee hiking, camping, lake days, exploring and all that stuff. I'm always down for an adventure.

I'm not really a materialistic person, I'd rather make memories and have experiences.

I love giving gifts.

I can juggle.

I am a bit of a hopeless romantic, you may find random sticky notes from me all over the house.

I'm relatively tall, if that's a plus.

I believe honesty is everything.

I'm super open minded and accepting, never be afraid to tell me anything. Unless you put ketchup on your steak. Then you deserve to be shamed. Sorry.

I love listening and will lean on your every word while you tell me a funny story or complain about the silliest thing that made you irrationally angry that day. I promise to take your side!

I am overweight, I have been doing CrossFit since April, and have been eating low carb for over a year.

I have lost over 100 lbs, but I still have a ways to go.

I had gotten out of an abusive relationship, and overcame my pretty debilitating depression. I am in a great place and ready to love again.

Sometimes it is tough, but I have come a long way and life is pretty great. I would love to have someone to share it with. It also helps that I'm pretty awesome. 😛
