29 [M4F] Northwest UK (Liverpool/Manchester). I'm looking for someone who makes my soul sing, whom I can write poetry about and take to art galleries, but who also enjoy an affectionate spank to the backside.

Well, it's that time of year again.

Greetings, beautiful people.

So, a little about me. I'm a bookish, charming, s*xy, and utterly inimitable chap from NW England. I'm looking for a warm, gentle, characterful woman in her 20s-30s. Ideally, she would be someone with a real interior life, cute, kind, warm, and playful. I'm looking to get to know someone and develop a relationship slowly. Obviously, I believe s*x is important, but I'm someone who prefers physical intimacy in the context of a committed relationship where there is mutual trust. AMA. I'm an open book, though you may not be able to read me.

Stats:

• Writer (seeking a grown-up job whilst I finish my novel... I'm 300 plus pages in). Maybe starting a PhD soon... watch this space.
• Bigger Chap (6' 2", overweight but getting back into dieting and the gym. I'm happy to send you SFW photos). Rugby prop type, strong but chubby. Handsome IIDSSM.
• Culturally Engaged: always seeking to grow in my experience of literature, the visual arts, music, languages etc.
• White. Brown hair, brown eyes, and a French surname.
• My last relationship ended several months ago... I am ready to be hurt again.

Dating Me

Pros:

- Emotionally literate (INFJ... I will know exactly how you feel at any one time).

-Charming

-Your mum will love me

-There's a lot going on in my head

-You will definitely remember me

-Labrador energy (with a touch of Soren Kierkegaard when depressed)

-Well-dressed, classic gentleman, and eccentrically handsome

- Always striving to grow personally, physically, emotionally, spiritually. Aware of my bs and in counselling.

Cons:

-Emotionally literate (I will probably become overly invested in your emotional well-being to my own detriment)

-Dyspraxic (I will trip over, but in a cute boyfriend way... make sure you have accident cover, is all I'm saying). Also, I don't have a driving license.

-There's a lot going on in my head... in a hot writer kinda way, not an 'I'm talking to my imaginary friend' kinda way.

-I'm kind of a fixer-upper

-I'm catnip to crazy girls... if you have a personality disorder, you'll definitely become obsessed with me (please don't)

-Broke but ambitious. The world is not enough, and I also don't want a wagie job.

What I'm looking for:

• I care more about personality and character than looks, but if you're a cute redhead in a tweed skirt, I'll definitely fall for you.
• Someone who is open to LTP/MG and children. I'm not in any rush, but I'm not looking to be childfree forever.
• I'm open to atheists/agnostics, Buddhists etc., but I'd like someone who is open to cultural Christianity, even if not practicing. My relationship to Christianity is complicated, but I still have a very post-literalist, post-reductivist faith... ask me more. If you're Muslim etc, it's probably not a good fit (nothing personal, though).
• Unwed and childless.
• No major debt (other than student debt).
• UK/EU for ease of contact. Open to talking to people from elsewhere, esp. NZ (as I have dual citizenship there and would like to go), but would prefer (Western) Europe, for ease of access.

Have an amazing day, and I hope you find the person who's right for you, whoever they may be.
