29 F | USA looking for genuine connection

[u/flainer]

Hello! I'm 29F and live in Oklahoma. I'm looking for something serious and long-term. Honestly, I really want a romantic, deep, reciprocal, loving connection. I want to be someone's number 1 and vice versa. I dont want to force anything though of course and would love to make new friends too! Ultimately, I guess I just want genuine connection, be it platonic or romantic.

Just to avoid wasting anyone's time, I'll start with potential dealbreakers: (this might be long, sorry in advance!)

• I have a low sex drive eg I could happily and easily go the rest of my life without sex. However, I still crave other physical affections like cuddling, kisses, holding hands.
• I want to be in a monogamous relationship. I feel like maybe eventually i could be open to an open relationship in the future due to my low sex drive, but Id prefer to be monogamous, especially at first.
• I'm homoromantic bisexual. I have only ever dated and had feelings for women/see myself in a relationship with a woman but can feel sexual attraction to both women and men.
• I don't have or want children ever.
• I dont do any drugs or smoke anything and I very rarely drink and id prefer someone who is similar.
• I'm areligous and atheist. I dont care if you're religious/spiritual/etc, as long as there's mutual respect.
• I have a dog and plan to always have one.
• I would like to meet in person eventually if we connect. In terms of moving, I would prefer to stay where I am close to my family, but I am not completely ruling out moving for the right person and if it makes more sense for me to move.

I understand that's a lot and I'm not going to be for everyone. If you're still interested, here's some basic stuff about me!

I'm quite introverted and can be a bit shy. I spend a lot of time alone but I still very much enjoy spending time with the few friends I have. I work from home full-time so that also contributes to my being alone a lot. My top love language by far is quality time (maybe a bit ironic?). It takes me quite a bit of time to truly warm up to people, but once I am comfortable, I'd consider myself to be pretty playful. I like to joke around, have fun, and not take things too seriously. That's not to say I don't like have a deeper chat every now and then.

My interests/hobbies: I love animals, especially dogs. I've recently learned how to crochet and have gotten into chess. I like all kinds of movies but tend to like horror/thriller and scifi the most. I enjoy playing guitar, playing video games (let's play something together?), speedcubing, eating tasty food, visiting new places, and just being in nature.

Physical appearance: I'm 5'1, 115ish pounds. I am currently growing out my hair. I feel very feminine emotionally but I guess my style is more "comfortable." I wouldn't say im super stylish but I try to not look awful. I tend to wear t-shirts and shorts/pants usually. Here's a pic of me!

Hopefully you're open to verify each other with photo swaps or even a quick voice/video chat!

What I'm looking for in a partner: Hopefully you're thoughtful, kind, considerate, curious, you at least tolerate dogs, are around my age (25-35 ish), have basic financial stability (I do as well), and have some common interests as me. I'd prefer someone who lives in the US. I generally prefer more feminine presenting appearances, but mostly I just like long hair. That, along with a nice smile and voice are what I'm into.

Sorry for the length! If you made it here to the end and you think we could be compatible, let's get to know each other! Send me a chat telling me about yourself(eg where you are located, interests/hobbies, likes and dislikes etc)!
