32 [M4F] US East Coast - Being a hopeless romantic in 2026 makes me feel like an alien
Hello fellow Reddit singles! After being “off the market” for over 10 years I have reentered the dating world…. and good lord was I unprepared. I didn’t really see myself as a hopeless romantic until I started going on dates. From my experience, it seems a lot of people are more interested in a contractual relationship rather than just forming a deep bond and connection with the other person. It has gotten to the point where I feel crazy or like an alien lol. So I figured I’d reach out to the crazy world of Reddit to see if I could find any more “aliens” like me lol
Anyways! Here is a little about me: I’m a pretty big nerd. I enjoy playing video games, playing D&D, watching anime, Star Wars, Harry Potter, LoTR and other various nerd topics. I also love music, I play guitar and have been for most of my life. I like a lot of music but pop punk, metal and rock hold s special place in my heart.
I’m also pretty physically active. I lift, run and train Brazilian Jujitsu. I also love being outside hiking, camping, kayaking and any other outdoor adventure I can muster up.
Personally wise I’m an ambivert. That basically means I’m an extroverted introvert if that makes sense. I enjoy being social mostly with small groups but I also really like my me time. Helps me recharge and feel ready for the next day.
Lastly I’ll put it out there that I work in Law Enforcement since I know that can be a deal breaker for some.
If you resonated with anything I said, please reach out with a DM. Hope you have a relaxing Sunday :)
