36 [M4F] Norfolk VA - Error 404: Witty Title Not Found
So, elephant in the room, I marked this as NSFW, not with the intention of jumping straight into bed with someone, but to have a romantic relationship and all that that entails.
Just so you know what you're getting into, before reading through all my ramblings, this is me: https://imgur.com/a/V2zqX5c
As you can see, I'm a ginger with a short beard, my hair is equally short. I'm about 6'1 and ~220lbs (20 more pounds to go to be where I want). I'm broad shouldered with a bit of a dad bod (without having kids). I've only got the one ear piercing so far and several tattoos, with plans to get more of both. I have a career, a house, and a vehicle.
Interest wise, I bounce between being a nerd (gaming, anime, cosplays, airsoft, reading, etc.) and being an Average Joe ^(TM) (Working on my house, cars, walking some of the local trails, going to metal shows or movies, hanging out with friends, doing community service events). I am not the best cook in the world, but I am learning, and would love to cook along side someone. It would be nice if we shared a few interests / hobbies, but not a problem if we don't, long as we can respect each others interests and can enjoy each others company.
I have been single for about a year now, my last relationship didn't end the best and it definitely taught me a few things. I've been working of myself and I would like to start sharing my time with someone else. I'm looking for someone that is patient with a "let's work to resolve this together" instead of throwing in the towel at the first issue, mentality. I want someone I can build and grow with that understands relationships are hard, they take teamwork, and communication from both parties. Ideally, this person would be someone that I could have serious conversations with and also silly, absurd, goofy banter with. I want someone that I can be my trueself with without risk of judgement and they could do the same with me. I'm very much a physical person, so I enjoy physical contact with my partner.
I do not have any kids/do not want to have kids and would prefer my partner doesn't either, but I would be okay with someone who's kids are a bit older (like 7+). It's not a deal breaker, but I find myself attracted to artistic people, as they are the yin to my yang (plus I find it fascinsting seeing someone be able to create like that, sadly my mind doesn't work that way). Age wise, I don't think I would go any lower than 24, but if you've got a good grasp on your life, shoot your shot, maturity isn't solely determined by age.
