This is probably going to sound a bit odd, but I figured I'd just be honest and post it anyway lol.

I haven't dated in a long time, and I feel pretty out of practice with the whole thing. Not just dating itself, but even the smaller stuff around it. Talking to someone in that way, flirting a bit, going for coffee, seeing if there's a vibe, that kind of thing.

I'm also currently living at home, which at 35 doesn't exactly do wonders for your confidence lol. I know it's not the end of the world, but it has made dating feel a lot harder.

What I'm looking for is someone who might be in a similar boat. Maybe you've been out of dating for a while too, or you feel awkward/inexperienced/self-conscious about it and would like something that feels a bit more low-pressure.

Don't want to mislead anyone or pretend this is something it's not. I'm also not looking to rush into anything sexual. I guess the best way to describe it is "practice dating", where we both know what it is and can be honest about boundaries and expectations.

I'm open-minded about age, looks, and body type. I care more about whether we're both kind, patient, and comfortable with each other.

We can just start by chatting and see how it feels. If we're both comfortable, maybe we can grab coffee or something simple. No pressure or judgment, just something honest and hopefully not too awkward lol.

Recently took an interest in video game development and started looking into Unreal Engine. I'd love to do this with someone instead of going it alone.

I can probably dedicate 1-2 days a week.

My goal is to try and build a game like Saints Row 1 or 2, or early GTA (Vice City, San Andreas). But obviously at a much smaller scale lol.

If this sounds like something you might be interested in, let me know.

Open to working with anyone, male or female, but there's no "seeking any" tag.
