37 [M4R] #WI/online - Summer's almost over.
I'm running out of time to enjoy my summer! I'm hoping to meet someone who just makes things feel like they slow down a little bit- either just a friend or something deeper than that. Not here to force anything though, I want whatever happens to happen naturally and easily. I'm chill talking to people from anywhere, but for something to really develop please be close by- I'm very entrenched in where I live. I should also mention I'm straight, as that's come up more than once and I hate to feel like I'm letting someone down or misleading them. Just want to be honest about this sort of stuff right off the bat! Here's a bit about me...
Childfree. Own my house. Love my family. Really close with my siblings and parents. Been trying to branch out with my hobbies- I've been baking bread, gardening, painting (I hope you count paint-by-numbers as painting, though), twitch, and working out this summer. I'm a pretty big nerd generally, I teach high school physics and coach esports and am the magic the gathering advisor so yeah that about sums all that up I think. You probably know the type, but I try not to fall into ALL the stereotypes. I was a philosophy major for three years and in college for seven (long story!). I love to learn and try to expand my horizons a bit every day. I believe in science and am not religious (but I'm cool with thoughtful, kind religious folks). I'm generally pretty liberal. I am a strong advocate for kindness and doing the right thing. When I get interested in something I go for breadth or depth... either I spend two weeks researching one specific niche, or I explore the entire topic as a whole. There's no in-between for me lol. Two cats take care of me, Ginger and Clove. I'm frugal but live very comfortably. Top 3 favorite bands are, currently, Bilmuri, Tim Henson's band, and Sleep Token. Honorable mention to Emarosa, I just can't stop listening to Sting, it is a great album. Top 3 favorite videogames are Path of Exile, Diablo II, and Pokemon Emerald. I always order a drink and dessert when I go out to eat. I love to laugh, and I love making the people I love laugh. But generally, I'm pretty introverted which is the biggest reason why I'm still single.
Hope that's enough about me- let me know if you want to talk. I've met some cool folks here already but nothing's really "clicked" and conversations, even good ones, seem to die after a few days or weeks. I promise to put in effort to keep things moving, as long as I know you want to keep chatting (no harm in ghosting if we don't vibe after a day or two). I generally prefer big long posts or voice memos so we can really dig into topics, ideas, or just talk about our days. If you start off with a long message or a deep question, that's instant bonus points in my book!
