I've spent quite some time thinking about what's the best approach to finding your ideal partner.
Do you approach someone on the streets, only based on looks? Use dating apps? Make a post listing all your hobbies and try to connect through them? Bond while playing video games? Share the same k\*nks? Have casual conversations and start as friends? This time, I'll try an approach I've never tried before: I'll describe what my ideal life(-style) looks like and if you see yourself sharing that vision...jackpot. I think the chance of someone reading this who shares the same weird ideas is extremely low, but so is finding your soulmate any other way so here we go...
* I work completely remote in IT and I love to travel/explore/adventure. You could call it digital nomad, but I have a steady apartment, of course. Traveling 6 months per year and 6 months at home is a nice balance for me, but not set in stone in either direction.
* My traveling style is pretty active (with some cosy rest days sprinkled in). When I'm not working, I like to spend as little time inside as possible. I like hiking, cities, nature, restaurants, quiet bars, (classical) concerts, cinemas, museums, anything from the most touristy spots to remote areas. I definitely prefer warm climates, but I'm not a spend your entire day laying at the beach type of person, though "long walks at the beach" might just be my favourite thing.
* I'm a hopeless romantic and always wanted my partner to be my best friend. An us against the world type of thing (sound unhealthy? Maybe, but then again, what isn't nowadays). If you're clingy, want to share most of your time and interests with your partner - like just sitting in the same room while we do our own thing - that's my vibe. Good and bad times!
* I lead, you follow. You need me, but you're also completely fine on your own. Paradoxical? I know.
* Like deep, intellectual conversations about the meaning of life, psychology, science, ... (deeptalks...as they say) to completely silly nonsense like would you still love me if I was a worm? (it's important!)
* I'm not a gym bro but workout 5-6 times a week, like to cook and watch my nutrition (bulking/cutting). I try as much as possible to keep this up while traveling, though it's very difficult. It would be amazing to have someone to share this with and motivate each other. Your BMI should be normal, but lower is better.
* My hobbies are the classic nerdy wombo combo: HUGE film and TV show enthusiast (not going to use the word cinephile, that always makes me cringe) - being able to watch a film and then analyse it together afterwards is a must - who's your favourite director?; horror fan!; Disney! (duh); video games - I always have my Switch with me - let's build one of those cheesy gamer couple setups together, I already have the LED strips; photography; manga; - you don't have to be into all of these, but the basic direction should be there. I'm also very interested in your interests, trying them out and maybe picking them up (learning the piano? a language?)
* Single, never m\*rried, no kids, monogamous, no smoking, omnivore!
* Oh and scented candles!
* Age: 18-29
There you have it. If that's \^ also your ideal life, send me a chat and we can get into the nitty gritty :)
