I’m a 32-year-old guy from Los Angeles who’s decided to be more intentional about dating.
For the last couple of years, I’ve mostly stopped looking for a serious relationship because it started to feel discouraging. These days I’m more open to seeing where things go instead of putting a ton of pressure on every connection.
I’m overweight, and I’m not embarrassed to say that. It’s something I’m working on, even if I haven’t figured out how to make lasting progress yet. It would be amazing to meet someone who’s patient, supportive, and maybe even wants to encourage each other to build healthier habits.
Outside of that, I’m into video games, movies, dry sarcastic humor, and learning ways to make life a little easier. Mental health is something I care about, and I’d like to think I’m a good listener.
I’m hoping to meet someone up to around 40 who’s kind, patient, and someone I’m genuinely attracted to. If you know good places in Los Angeles to meet people naturally—or if this post happens to resonate with you—I’d love to hear from you.
Sometimes the hardest part is just knowing where to start.
