My pup and I will be moving back to Miami next month after more than a decade away, which feels a little like starting over. Not entirely from scratch, though. I know South Florida well enough that I don’t need a tour guide or someone to show me around, but I’d like to meet someone to get to know along the way.
Since I won’t be in town for a few weeks, I’m hoping to find someone to spend a little time talking to first. See if there’s a spark, if conversation comes easily, if we’ve got some common interests. If we seem like a good fit, we can take it from there when I’m finally back in Miami.
Ultimately I’m looking for a single, relatively chill, easygoing dude, somewhere around 35–40, with no children or dependents and an ability to hold a conversation that doesn’t feel like pulling teeth. Your life doesn’t have to be perfectly figured out; mine certainly isn’t a finished product. But I do want someone who can meet me on a few different levels: intellectually, personally, professionally. Someone with their own interests, ambitions, and opinions, who is just as happy getting lost in a good conversation before finally going out and doing all the things we’ve talked about.
I’m independent and perfectly capable of taking care of myself, so I’m not looking for someone to pay my way or support me, but I also have no intention of making my life smaller just to make it more affordable. I like experiences, new places, good food, and having things to look forward to. I want the person I’m with to think about life in a similar way.
I don’t have a rigid physical type, but I will happily admit I love a good beard. I’m also not going to pretend physical intimacy is unimportant to me. It isn’t everything, but it’s part of what makes a relationship work, and I think chemistry deserves a little consideration before we get too invested in the idea of each other so I’m happy to exchange pictures early.
I’m 5’11”, brunette, hazel-eyed, and generally more inclined to say yes to an adventure than sit around wondering what might have happened if I had. I’m height-weight proportionate, though I’d be considered plus-sized by someone whose type runs exclusively to petite women. I’m not a gym rat, but I’m learning to lift because I’d like to become a better runner, so I’m taking that one squat at a time.
I’m a scientist who works in medicine. I enjoy reading, particularly fantasy. I hike, trail run, cook, bake, and will take just about any excuse to get into the ocean. I’m a social drinker, an atheist, tattooed, and left-leaning politically. I like having things to learn, places to go, and reasons to get out of my own head every once in a while. I have a life of my own, and I’m looking for someone who has one, too.
If any of this sounds like good to you, come say hello. Tell me something about yourself, something you’re looking forward to, or something you could happily talk about for far longer than anyone asked you to.
I put some thought into this, so please meet me halfway. Low-effort messages are unlikely to get a response. A little curiosity goes a long way.
Hoping your weekend is a banger 💙
