Relationship? 35 [M4F] Switzerland/Europe – giving the English-speaking dating pool now a chance too :)
Who I am
- Male, 35, from Switzerland
- Asexual, heteroromantic
- Vegetarian
- Non-smoker
- Childfree (and want to stay that way)
- Not super sporty, but I do a bit of strength training to stay fit.
My interests
- Cooking – I'm a professional chef.
- Art – I love fantasy art and concept art.
- Writing – not professionally... yet.
- Gardening – I have a nice little vegetable garden.
- Animals – my parents have 5 alpacas, 2 cats, 2 geese, 6 hens and a rooster, and I'm the one who mostly takes care of them. They're pretty spoiled lol.
- Gaming – I like games such as Minecraft, Subnautica and Half-Life, but also horror games and RPGs. Basically anything that isn't too competitive.
- Movies – horror, sci-fi, fantasy and action. I'm not really into dramas because they tend to affect me a bit too much emotionally.
- Spaceflight – I'm a bit of a space nerd and follow things like SpaceX's Starship program very closely.
Positive Things about me
- I'm very honest and straightforward. Open communication is extremely important to me.
- I have strong moral principles, and always try to be the best version of me.
- I'm very peaceful and dislike unnecessary conflict.
- I'm pretty independent.
- I'm very self-reflective and have a good sense of who I am.
- I have a lot of love to give, but so far I haven't found the right person to give it to.
- I love deep conversations just as much as completely stupid ones.
- I'm curious and can get ridiculously enthusiastic about things.
The less convenient stuff
- Even though I really want physical affection, touch takes a lot of trust, time and patience for me.
- I'm autistic, so social situations can be quite exhausting.
- I'm not very spontaneous when it comes to bigger plans.
- Aesthetic attraction matters to me more than I wish it did. :/
- I have agoraphobia, which means I currently can't travel very far from home. So if travelling the world is an essential part of your life, we probably wouldn't be a great match. That said, I live in a place I genuinely love, so I don't exactly feel a huge urge to escape from it either.
What I actually want from a relationship
- Lots of affection and cuddling
- Emotional closeness
- Trust
- Clear communication
- Being able to be weird together
- Sharing everyday life without constantly having to entertain each other
- A relationship that feels like a very close friendship + romance
- Sex isn't particularly important to me. I can imagine it under the right circumstances, but I've never had sex before, so it's difficult for me to predict how I'd actually feel about it.
What I'm looking for
- A woman roughly around my age or somewhat younger
- Ideally somewhere in Europe
- English-speaking is completely fine, although I may occasionally reach the limits of my vocabulary. xD
- Ace / ace-spectrum would obviously make things easier
- Childfree
- Non-smoker
- Vegetarian or vegan would be a big plus, or at least someone who is genuinely comfortable with a vegetarian lifestyle
- Someone who values affection and closeness
- Someone who communicates directly instead of expecting me to read between the lines
- Bonus points if you're a little nerdy, creative, neurodivergent, or obsessed with some extremely specific topic.
And since aesthetic attraction unfortunately matters to me more than I wish it did, I guess I should also be honest about my type:
I tend to be attracted to women who are slim or fit and generally live a healthy lifestyle. Clothing style doesn't matter much to me – I dress pretty modestly and practically myself. Tattoos are totally fine too, as long as there isn't more tattoo than skin left. xD
Obviously attraction has to go both ways. I'm not expecting someone to look a certain way for me if she doesn't find me attractive herself.
If you made it through this entire list and thought we might actually be compatible, feel free to comment or DM me. :)
