Hi, my title is pretty self explanatory so I'm guessing if you're reading this we're looking for something similar. I'm really shy/awkward at first so dating apps have never been great for me, and I figured this place would be better for finding someone with similar interests. I'd love to find someone I really vibe with, I don't think I believe in soul mates but I'd love to find something pretty damn close.
Anyways, I'm awful at intros so I'll try to keep this short and sweet!

Stuff about me:

• I feel like I should get this out of the way instantly but by FAR my biggest red flag is the crippling social anxiety I deal with, It makes getting to know new people incredibly difficult for me, It affects most aspects of my life, I'd never wanna make it someone elses problem but I wanted to let you know upfront since its bound to rear its head at some point. DESPITE ALL THAT, I promise that once the initial social barrier is down I become a LOT more talkative and outgoing, I've been told I have golden retriever energy.
• Appearance wise I'm 5'8 and 195 LBS, I'm chubby but have been working on it and been exercising more and more recently, Oh and here's a pic of me https://imgur.com/a/ZNWsQpa
• I'm a big nerd and pretty much all my hobbies reflect that I like playing games (I LOVE JRPGs, fighting games, VNs and random competitive games the most but I'll play literally anything if its with the right person,) Watching anime (or whatever other media, mostly anime though) and listening to music (Indie, Rock, Pop-punk and JPOP mainly)
• As a person I'm naturally really introverted (I'm an INFP if you care about mbti) and need occasional alone time to recharge my social battery but I can absolutely talk someones ear off if we're talking about something I'm passionate about. People usually tell me my biggest strength is my kindness, I hate being mean to people almost to a fault (I have trouble putting my foot down and have tendency to let people walk all over me ;-;,) I'm really staunch about my morals and what I think is right or wrong. Also I'm left leaning politically.
• I don't have that much relationship experience but I always fantasize about the super lovey dovey romance, I love doing little things to make my partner happy, I'm normally pretty down to earth but can end up with my head in the clouds when it comes to romantic stuff. Also my BIGGEST love language by far is words of affirmation, followed by quality time.

Stuff about you:

• I don't really have any deal breakers when it comes to looks, I can find all types of people beautiful, if you're generally nice to me and I feel like I can be myself around you I'll probably fall for you so fast its embarrassing. It would be nice to see what you look like eventually though so I know I'm not talking to a ghost
• Distance doesn't matter too much as long as you'd be down to meet up eventually if we hit it off, it would obviously be nice if our timezones were somewhat close but I'd do my best to work around that if I really liked someone
• It'd be nice if we shared some hobbies or had a thing or two in common since it would give us something to bond over right away.
• I don't really have an upper age limit, but I'd imagine I'd relate more to someone closer in age to me
• Lastly, I prefer people who sort of "wear the pants" in a relationship, this definitely isn't a dealbreaker though, just bonus points

I'm not sure what else to add so I'll end it there. IF you're still reading after that trainwreck of a post you should shoot me a message with a little about yourself, I'd love to chat with whoever!! :)
