Hey lovely and lonely people of Reddit. After finding success on this lovely app in the past I’m once again throwing myself out there and looking to meet new people and who knows, maybe find someone special.
The Basics
I’m 37, live in Nottinghamshire in England, I’m white, 6’4, live with my boisterous cat, drive, work, and after 2026 being probably the worst year of my life to date, I’m looking for a little bit of positivity before the year ends. I don’t have kids, I’ve never been married and I’m single (obviously). I’m sensitive (in both a positive and negative way) and despite being introverted I love nothing more than good connections and companionship, especially in person.
Extra stuff
I love film and cinema and try and go at least once a week. I watch a lot of TV too and am a big football fan (just don’t ask who I support please, I might cry). I run weekly and have recently done my first half marathons, I also love walking and hiking whenever the weather allows. Everyday I try to read and I love music too, it’s a big part of my life. I’m drug and smoke free, I do drink but only heavily when it’s an occasion.
You
What am I looking for? Ideally you are…
\\\\- within 10 years of my age either way, so 27-47
\\\\- this is key….you don’t live far away! I am absolutely not looking for a pen pal or a LDR. I’m too old for that. I’m looking for someone who, if the vibe is there, would be happy meeting up for a drink as soon as we’ve realised the other person is probably not a serial killer. Please don’t message if there’s no chance of us realistically meeting up
\\\\- comfortable sharing some pictures early on. Ultimately as shallow as it is, it’s nice to know who you’re talking to. If I could upload a picture alongside this post, but alas I can’t
\\\\- I’d prefer those who don’t have kids and don’t want kids. I’m at the stage in my life where I’ve accepted that it probably isn’t for me
\\\\- are looking for a relationship, one you are happy to invest time and effort in. I’m not one for riddles or games, if we like one another, let’s just say that
\\\\- lastly, you are up for actually engaging in conversation. Of course I don’t mind starting with the pleasantries and “hello”’s, but please don’t leave it to me to carry the conversation. I’d like us both to look forward to chatting to the other each day, sometimes you message first, sometimes I do, call me idealistic.
Like my post title says, what I’m ultimately looking for is to be amongst someone’s priorities in life. Whilst I would never expect to be permanently #1, I realise that in former relationships I’ve been guilty of being blind to the fact that I’m often not even in the top 3, despite them being mine. If you have kids, or a large family, or are religious, or are career driven, or have a hobby that you love….fantastic, tell me all about it and let me share it with you if you’re willing, but don’t choose it over me every time please, I don’t think that’s unfair to ask.
It’s been a terrible year so far, something nice before the year ends wouldn’t go amiss. Extra bonus points if you’re the reason I never have to download a dating app ever again.
I’m a good listener, and there’s absolutely nothing I love more than putting the world to rights and discussing both serious and silly things well into the night.
As an icebreaker and to get the conversation going, what’s your favourite film of all time?
Come say howdy 👋🏻
