Hey! My name's Alex. I'm 26 years old and I live near Cleveland, OH. I don't really expect much to come of this (we all know looking for love on Reddit is a crapshoot), but hey, I figure it's at least worth a shot.

Anyways, a bit about me:

Appearance wise - I'm about 5'7", white, short brown hair, brown eyes, glasses, short beard. A little heavier than I'd like to be but not unhealthy, and I'm working on it. Willing to trade pics of ourselves if we hit it off.

Personality wise - I'm a half-dorky, half-artsy kinda guy. Would totally fall into the "sweet golden retriever boyfriend" archetype. I dabble in a lot of different hobbies. I like painting, reading & writing, playing the piano, and programming / computers, though really any activity that allows me to be creative in some capacity is bound to be something I enjoy! I really love to learn new things, to solve problems and puzzles. Outside of that, I like to relax with a good movie or TV show, or to play a video / game / board / card game (I've got a lot of nostalgia for the GameCube, and I love Nintendo in general)! Currently, I work in IT, but I'm going back to school for architecture in the fall. I'm really excited to go back and to study this field. I feel like it'd really be the perfect job for me, if that tells you anything about my brain lol!

When it comes to love, I consider myself a bit of a hopeless romantic. When I fall for someone, I fall hard. Total lover boy... but, I'm a bit inexperienced. I haven't really ever dated or had a serious relationship before. My past attempts tended to burn out rather quickly, but I've learned a lot from those experiences and I'm ready to tackle something real and genuine... I feel like I truly have a lot of love to give for the right person, and I really want to find them!

So who am I looking for? Preferably someone aged 23-35 with no children (I don't have any myself, though im open to having kids in the future), and lives within a reasonable driving distance of me (I've tried long distance in the past and I'm over it). I'm a total sucker for brown hair / blue eyes, but really I don't care too much about height and weight or appearance. I really value personality and mind much more than I do anything physical (but of course, I won't deny that physical attraction is important)

Self-awareness and intelligence are the most attractive traits to me. Please be passionate about something! It doesn't matter what it is, but I am drawn to people who know what they love and truly care about it. I'm hoping to find someone that can teach me about things I don't know, and someone I can do the same for! Bonus points if you're a fellow creative and also enjoy video games, but not required. Hard lines - please be politically left leaning and non-religious. Otherwise I don't think we'd be very compatible.

As far as BDSM goes, I'm just a very submissive guy to the core. I don't have a dominant or aggressive bone in my body. I like women who can take the lead, be direct with me and what she wants (communication is key!), and am interested in an FLR / gentle domme sort of dynamic. We can discuss kinks and stuff more in depth later.

Also, please just put some effort in! I won't be responding to low-effort openers or someone who tries to be super flirty / sexy right out of the gate. I am interested in building a real connection, and I don't to waste anyone's time.

I know this post isn't super detailed, but please reach out and introduce yourself if any of it speaks to you on some degree!! I'm an open-book, so I don't mind answering any questions! Thanks for reading :)

As far as BDSM goes, I'm just a very submissive guy to the core. I don't have a dominant or aggressive bone in my body. I like women who can take the lead, be direct with me and what she wants (communication is key!), and am interested in an FLR / gentle domme sort of dynamic. We can discuss kinks and stuff more in depth later.

Also, please just put some effort in! I won't be responding to low-effort openers or someone who tries to be super flirty / sexy right out of the gate. I am interested in building a real connection, and I don't to waste anyone's time.

I know this post isn't super detailed, but please reach out and introduce yourself if any of it speaks to you on some degree!! I'm an open-book, so I don't mind answering any questions! Thanks for reading :)

Hey! My name's Alex. I'm 26 years old and I live near Cleveland, OH. I don't really expect much to come of this (we all know looking for love on Reddit is a crapshoot), but it's a nice, lazy, rainy Saturday and I would love to chat with someone genuine this evening!

Anyways, a bit about me:

Appearance wise - I'm about 5'7", white, short brown hair, brown eyes, glasses, short beard. A little heavier than I'd like to be but not unhealthy, and I'm working on it. Willing to trade pics of ourselves if we hit it off.

Personality wise - I'm a half-dorky, half-artsy kinda guy. Would totally fall into the "sweet golden retriever boyfriend" archetype. I dabble in a lot of different hobbies. I like painting, reading & writing, playing the piano, and programming / computers, though really any activity that allows me to be creative in some capacity is bound to be something I enjoy! I really love to learn new things, to solve problems and puzzles. Outside of that, I like to relax with a good movie or TV show, or to play a video / game / board / card game (I've got a lot of nostalgia for the GameCube, and I love Nintendo in general)! Currently, I work in IT, but I'm going back to school for architecture in the fall. I'm really excited to go back and to study this field. I feel like it'd really be the perfect job for me, if that tells you anything about my brain lol!

When it comes to love, I consider myself a bit of a hopeless romantic. When I fall for someone, I fall hard. Total lover boy... but, I'm a bit inexperienced. I haven't really ever dated or had a serious relationship before. My past attempts tended to burn out rather quickly, but I've learned a lot from those experiences and I'm ready to tackle something real and genuine... I feel like I truly have a lot of love to give for the right person, and I really want to find them!

So who am I looking for? Preferably someone aged 23-35 with no children (I don't have any myself, though im open to having kids in the future), and lives within a reasonable driving distance of me (I've tried long distance in the past and I'm over it). I'm a total sucker for brown hair / blue eyes, but really I don't care too much about height and weight or appearance. I really value personality and mind much more than I do anything physical (but of course, I won't deny that physical attraction is important)

Self-awareness and intelligence are the most attractive traits to me. Please be passionate about something! It doesn't matter what it is, but I am drawn to people who know what they love and truly care about it. I'm hoping to find someone that can teach me about things I don't know, and someone I can do the same for! Bonus points if you're a fellow creative and also enjoy video games, but not required. Hard lines - please be politically left leaning and non-religious. Otherwise I don't think we'd be very compatible.
