28F looking for someone in the Chicago area :)
Hi! I’m a 28-year-old woman living in downtown Chicago. I’m 5’0”, petite/slightly curvy, brunette, child-free, and work in tech. I have two degrees and consider myself pretty independent, but I’m also very much a relationship-oriented person and would like to eventually get married and build a life with someone.
A few things about me: I have a small dog who I absolutely adore, I cook quite a bit (especially South Asian food), and I’m currently learning Hindi. I’m pretty low-key and enjoy simple things such as trying new restaurants, cooking at home, self care, reading, trying different cafes, sharing a laugh, exploring the city, connecting and spending time with friends, and just having someone to share everyday life with.
I’m hoping to meet someone around 29–35, ideally in Chicago or the surrounding suburbs. I have a preference for South Asian/Indian men.
Ideally, you’re educated, have a solid corporate career, are at least 5’5”, and are looking for marriage rather than something casual. I’m also hoping to find someone who genuinely likes dogs, has goals for his life, and is affectionate. I tend to show and receive love through words of affection and acts of service, so someone who appreciates those things too would probably be a good fit.
More than anything, I’m looking for someone kind, emotionally mature, and easy to be around. Someone who wants to build something together, enjoys the little things, and still believes your partner should also be your best friend.
A few things that are important to me for compatibility: I’m not a good match with someone who smokes cigarettes, drinks heavily, uses recreational drugs heavily, spends most of their free time gaming, or has an extremely sedentary lifestyle. I’m also looking for someone who plans to stay in the U.S. long-term. I’m also left-leaning and agnostic/non-religious, and would prefer someone who is generally on the same page when it comes to values and lifestyle.
If this sounds like you, feel free to message me and tell me a little about yourself. I have also included 2 recent photos of myself below (taken the last 3 months or so).
