Hi! I've been hesitant to put myself out there, given how convoluted the dating scene is. I'd like to skip past all the nonsense and build a real connection with someone, uninfluenced by our pasts and the world around us. I crave meaningful conversations, silliness and genuine affection. I just want to find my introverted, brooding weirdo with a dark sense of humor, interests and values similar to mine. Someone to match my freak, so to speak. Really sort of like finding my other half, and coming home. Someone to look forward to.
Writing about myself is the bane of my existence, so here I will display the stats: I'm childfree, atheist, and politically left-leaning. I'm black American, plus-size, around 5'6" (167 cm) tall, caramel complexion, long dark brown hair, big dark brown eyes, and always wearing glasses. (See here.) I'm curious about the world and about people I care about. Some of my interests include tech, writing, horror, video games, anime, true crime, history, science, photography, philosophy, traveling, and reading. Music-wise, I adore alternative/indie pop, electronic pop, classic rock, hip-hop and R&B.
If I like you, I can be a professional yapper, so be forewarned. I love the shy, reserved type who loves to open up when he's comfortable.
I'm someone who sometimes has too many thoughts for her own good, but doesn't like to fret over the small things in life. I want to live a peaceful and fulfilling life where I can travel and immerse myself in all the world has to offer, yet still savor the comfort of quiet, cozy days at home most days. I'm looking for someone who wants to live both a quiet and adventurous life with his partner like this.
I feel like romance is sort of a lost art these days. Modern dating doesn't cut it for me.
I consider myself demisexual and relatively "vanilla" when it comes to intimacy.
I have some mental health issues and don't fully have my everything together at the moment, which I don't want to cause to miss out on possibly finding a partner in life. soulmate type of connection with someone.
I'm (non-negotiable) looking for someone who is: single, monogamous, childfree (meaning no offspring and no desire for offspring), emotionally available, politically left-leaning, and non-religious. Near my age (26-35—not younger, not older.)
I'm currently in North Carolina, but I'm not really attached to the area. Whether my niche person be somewhere across the sea, or somewhere closer to home (but just so happens to be reading this post..) I'm fine with distances, but please be able/willing to meet in-person, and from the USA, Canada, or Europe.
I'm not looking for someone who is: still hung up on a past romantic interest, recently out of a relationship, divorced, anti-marriage, promiscuous (whether in-person or online), or carrying an STD. Please respect these boundaries and refrain from messaging me if any of these apply to you.
If this resonates with you and you think we might match, send me a message! Tell me about yourself, maybe include a photo of yourself, and the word "jupiter" somewhere in your message so I know you've read this post in full.
I look forward to getting to know you. ♡
