Hi!

With the new year here and my birthday just behind me, I’ve been reflecting on some of the steps I’ve taken over the past few months to put myself out there. In fact, I’ve posted on here before, and to my surprise, I received messages from some amazing and understanding people and I even ended up meeting a few of them. This was more than I expected and gave me a renewed sense of hope that there’s someone out there who gets where I’m coming from.

So, as I turn 34 and embrace the start of 2025, I’m giving it another shot!

About Me I’m a 34-year-old Italian guy living in London. I’m 5’6” (168 cm), 67 kg, with green eyes, brown hair, and a stubble beard. I like to keep active and enjoy snowboarding whenever I get the chance, regular gym workouts, and other fun stuff like go-karting and the occasional hike.

I also enjoy laid-back hobbies like watching F1, diving into anime and manga (I’m working through One Piece), and gaming every now and then. Music plays a big role in my life (I’m mostly into rock, metal, and EDM) and I’m always up for discovering new sounds or hitting the club scene.

Why I’m Posting I’ve had a few close encounters in my early and mid-20s, but anxiety always got in the way and made it hard for me to feel comfortable taking the next step. Since moving to the UK, I’ve been on some dates, but they never progressed emotionally or physically. Over time, my inexperience became a mental barrier, and I’ve found it hard to shake feelings of self-consciousness and awkwardness around intimacy.

I’m hoping to connect with someone who understands that everyone’s journey looks different and who’s open to meeting me where I am. My recent efforts to connect with others have shown me that opening up about this part of my life doesn’t have to feel isolating, and that gives me hope as I move forward. I’m posting here again in the hopes of meeting someone who values open communication, patience, and shared experiences.

What I’m Looking For

I feel like meeting someone with experience and who can take the lead may be the best thing for me, given my circumstances, but I’m also more than open to connecting with someone who’s similarly inexperienced. It could be a great opportunity for us to work through our insecurities together in a comfortable and understanding way.

Ideally, you’d be based in or near London so we could meet up more easily, but I’d love to start by chatting and getting to know each other first. If you’re kind, open-minded, and think we might connect, I’d love to hear from you! :)
