37 M4F #DE(be close) #EST Looking for a online/IRL girlfriend

Hi there. I’m looking for an online/IRL girlfriend — emphasis on girlfriend, not just “someone to chat with when it’s convenient.” I want the good stuff: chemistry, consistency, and connection. Ideally someone who gets that the emotional high of a slow-burn crush is half the magic. I miss that butterflies-in-the-stomach, checking-my-phone-like-a-teenager kind of feeling.

Here’s the deal:

•I’m most available during the daytime till 5pm and after 9pm. I am married and a dad, I do have family duties. I will be present and responsive when I’m available.

•I’m looking for brain-first attraction. Flirting, teasing, real conversations, emotional tension. You should enjoy building anticipation.

•Physical attraction is important to me. I’m not shallow, but if there’s no spark, there’s no point. I need to want to flirt with you.

•I love a slow burn, but I’m not here for breadcrumbing or “bare minimum” energy. If you’re in, be in.

•I’m in a situation at home that I’m open to Chang e but not required. I need mental, physical and emotional escape, not disruption.

I’ve been here in the past and run into a lot of people who either ghost, aren’t honest about what they want. That’s not me. Just be respectful. I want something that feels real and intimate even if it only exists in messages.

If you’re smart, emotionally attuned, playful, and know how to flirt with words before anything else then message me with your age, availability, and what kind of connection you’re looking for. If those things aren’t in your reply, I will not message you back. So please don’t waste your time or mine.

Let’s make each other feel wanted again.
