25 [F4M] #Online Want to be daily chat buddies with a gentle older guy

Kinda tired of always having the answers in my life and I'm craving a space where I can relax and be treated soft by a nice/intelligent older guy, aged 35+

I'm in dire need of virtual head pats and words of praise. I'm not looking for anything more than a friendship with some emotional intimacy and availability. If I end up liking you, I'm reallyyy clingy so only DM me if you're prepared for that eventuality and you're able to engage.
I can get very smitten with you but I also respect space...I think

(No NSFW pictures or anything crazy. I am very inexperienced so I don't even know how to engage in any of that, I'd love a wholesome fuzzy chat without the need to get into our birthday suits. This is Platonic.)

A little bit about me: I'm quite shy so very simple hobbies like writing, drawing, reading and hanging out with my cats. I do want to get into hiking/camping one day but I don't have anyone I can go with, I'd probably get mauled by a wolf or something!

If it matters for your physical preference, I'm 5'3, Slim 120 pounds and eat healthy, I do not drink/smoke or partake in antisocial activities. I'd like to think I'm a good girl 😇 The only preferences I have for my chat buddy are nice hair and a beard lol

If you'd like to DM, please say more than just "Hello" as there is nothing to engage there :( . Please mention your Age, Location, What you do. And maybe tell me how you like to cheer yourself up so I can learn from you? Send me virtual hugs!

(Last note: If it can be helped, I'd like not to chat with married individuals, it's ok if you're separated. Just because I'd like to get emotionally close with someone. If you still want to argue your case as to why we would click, I guess you can try...I'll hear you out, at least😊)
