So it does feel formal. Transactional, even!

Let me be a little more relational. I have had a past wonderful affair (2021-2022) and am looking to start and build something with someone again. I know the right connection when it starts, and while looks, intelligence, etc. are all important, connection is what I think we're all after when we're in a 'current situation'.

Being emotionally supportive, filling in what's lacking in our current situations, and excited to stay in touch throughout the day - this is a judgement free world I'd love to build together with you.

Hopefully you're in Vancouver, Canada, or not too far off (as long as we're open to a bit of travel) and even better if you are able to join me and meet me at the locations I make my way out to for business from time to time - even if it's just for a day or so of exploring the city and sitting and sipping coffee at a trendy coffee shop (I'm no coffee snob though) and talking about the silliest things in life together. We're not looking to change each other's situation but simply to add to our own lives.

Connection itself is paramount. That's actually the only thing that matters, as most of us know.

• I love art, tech, and reading (from self growth to autobiographies). One of my favorite things to do with another person is to sit at a new cafe together and have simple chats about our interests - whether it be your current book, personal life, controversial opinions and topics - I simply love getting to know different perspectives
• I want to know you, things that you laugh about and I want you to know me equally
• I have a son, who is in elementary school - love him dearly and enjoy reliving a lot of my nerdy childhood things with him

Quick about me: I'm Asian, 5'5", 38 years of age, tech business founder, actively fit, healthy, and I've been told I've got a warm smile and handsome.

To sum up, I met my last AP here on this sub. (Or it might have been on r/Affairs.) She DM'ed me, a most wonderful connection followed, and we had the most amazing four months together. I have absolutely no regrets. I think the world of her.

But I'm not looking for another "her."

I'm looking for you.
