33 [F4M] - Waltham - Looking for my elusive needle in this crazy haystack.
TL;DR: Introverted spinster seeks eligible bachelor to build something real with. Bonus points if he has a rolling supply of hot takes, bad puns and an intermittent existential crisis.
Hi!
Massachusetts has many things: bad drivers, craft beer, a Dunkin' on every corner. What it does not seem to have is my person. So here I am, tossing the proverbial bottle into the ocean of this subreddit, hoping it lands on someone who isn't going to open with "hi hru."
I'm delusional enough to think he's out there, probably scrolling this exact subreddit right now because it's the weekend and reruns of Supernatural plus another night out with the guys isn't cutting it anymore.
A little about me in a list because lists are efficient:
• 5'4", plus size, Black, and I've been told I'm a "joy" to look at, which I think means my physical features are not terrifying.
• Introverted homebody. If the plan involves skydiving, rock climbing, or a strenuous hike, I am not your girl. I might hike if I really like you, but don't hold your breath!
• Witty, soft spoken, non confrontational, and unfairly self aware for my own good.
• I love routine and stability. Try as I may, spontaneity and I are not close friends, so I probably won't get on a plane just because, but I'll compromise and go on a road trip with two days' notice at least.
• I do not drive, so factor that into our shared fantasies about road trips.
• Big on self growth. I put years into working on myself before circling back to dating, so I show up knowing what I want, what I don't want, and what I'm willing to compromise on.
What I want: depth, conversation that doesn't feel like homework. Someone emotionally intelligent, driven, reserved, and stable, 27+, based in Massachusetts or nearby New England.
I've been getting nowhere on the apps and I can't meet people "naturally" because I am always home. So before my biological clock fully expires and my family starts negotiating my dowry in cattle or I opt for a nunnery, come save me from the rancid pool that is dating in your 30s.
A few disclaimers, because I'd rather filter now than waste both our time later:
• I like to trade pictures early so neither of us gets a rude surprise three conversations in. If that's not for you, this isn't your post.
• Not looking for polyamorous, ENM, or "situationship" arrangements. I'm here for one person! I want a healthy, monogamous relationship with a husband and a tiny human that we will both obsess over.
• Lead with something other than "hey."
If you made it this far, you've already cleared the bar most people don't, so you might as well stop by and say hello.
Talk soon!
