About Me
If you offer to buy dinner, I'm probably getting the cheapest thing on the menu. I don't have much to offer in return, so I feel guilty easily. Gift-giving is uncomfortable for me. Someone should know me well to determine if I'm worthy. I look to build on a platonic(non-physical) friendship to get to know you. I don't want things to feel date-like, until we discover if there's something there. I like hikes, walks, or chatting on a bench. It's relaxed and there is less pressure.
I refuse to invest myself romantically unless I've found a connection with long-term potential. I want my next relationship to last several years or if I'm lucky, the rest of my life. I'm looking for something with remarkable warmth and affection. The beginning of a foundation where we both build ourselves up, listen attentively, and try to understand each other to the best of our ability. We acknowledge our weaknesses but our strengths too. Someone who will see potential in me just as I can with them. I'm not looking for someone to solve all the problems in the world, just someone there so we don't face them alone.
Fun fact, I'm 4'11". Hobbit-sized! Fun fact two, Bilbo Baggins is 3 feet tall. Fun fact three, I huge eyeballs. I might actually be an alien humanoid creature from three dimensions away. Other fun facts are I enjoy writing, it's mostly jotting down thoughts or sending inspiring messages to someone who needs it. But, in person my words would flow out as jumbled nonsense. I paint, read philosophy books, and play old school video games sometimes. Secluded swimming holes and abandoned ghost towns are fun finds. I love pets. I believe how you feel towards animals, says a lot about who you are as a person. I'm not impressed by material things, I'm impressed by how you treat other living beings.
I'm a walking contradiction. Independent yet lack independence. I'm extremely introverted. I have social anxiety, I prefer to keep my social circle small. I need time alone to recharge. I have fear of going for walks alone. Some people monkey branch relationship to relationship their whole lives out of fear of being alone. I don't do that. There are large gaps between mine, my last relationship was three years ago. My personality is complex. I feel embarrassed of myself easily.
I love learning about people. We live in a society where it’s all about money, status, power, drugs, war, and celebrities. We’re all guilty of engaging in this talk. But, I don’t want to hear about local gossip of who’s sexting who, celebrity scandals, or that crazy party down the street. I want to exchange stories, memories, beliefs, interests, likes, and dislikes. I want to know about your favorite childhood memory and if you believe in aliens, god(s), or bigfoot. Tell me about who you look up to most, your life lessons, favorite songs, and that silly dream you had last night.
I have trouble with eye contact, due to my social anxiety. It's often misunderstood. If you’re patient with me, I will be patient with you. I get overwhelmed and drained easily. I don't party or do drugs. I rarely drink. I prefer small gatherings or one-on-one social interaction. Peaceful like a quiet restaurant, campfire, or cozy home setting. Festivals are fun as long as I'm by those whom I feel safe with.
I lack independence. I live with my mother, not working, and never learned how to drive due to my anxiety disorders. I would love to overcome my fear of driving. We all blossom and grow at our own pace. I am optimistic and open to conquering my fears. I know of a woman who overcame this fear in her 40s. I hope it won't take that long, but hearing success stories give me hope. I know it will take time, effort, and support. I just haven't found the right support system. I feel embarrassed and inadequate easily compared to others but I’m working on building self confidence.
I don’t have much to offer materialistically or financially. Multiple people have said that I can have 'any' man I want, that's not true. I've met those who have no interest in me because these are deal-breakers. I know I’m not the driven, socially outgoing, go-getter that I wish I was. I'm self-aware and see room for improvement though. We all struggle with something. I try not to judge and wish for the same in return. I know that I have good qualities such as I am caring, faithful, calm-tempered, and accepting. The good outweighs the bad. Someone will believe in me. When I have someone who believes in me, I believe in myself more.
Empathy is a blessing and curse. If you feel sad, I will feel sad too. I'll try my best to cheer us up. I don't have kids. It’s not on my to-do list but I am open to the idea of having one. I also think I could live a fulfilling life without having a child too. If it happens, it happens. I'm okay if my partner already has kids! Kids are great. Does any of this resonate with you?
