37 [M4F] #STL, Missouri - Space nerd, piano player, recent gym addict. Looking for my other half.

I'm 37 years old, and currently working full time as a database admin/developer. Job would probably sound incredibly boring when I describe it, but it lets me work from home and I love it for some reason. I have my life in order, for the most part. Have my own place, done with school, all the usual stuff. If my job doesn't give it away, I'm definitely a bit of a nerd. I love my sci-fi, and I work on programming computers for a living. Doctor Who, Star Trek, Star Wars, I like em all. Really into anything space related, for the most part. Was close to studying Astrophysics and making a career out of it but pivoted at the last second. Still treat it as a hobby though and really love diving into that stuff.

Music is a big part of my life. I picked up a piano a few years ago, and have been teaching myself how to play. Definitely one of the best decisions I ever made. I'm not the best player you'll ever hear, but I like to think that I'm at least halfway decent! Thinking about getting an actual teacher soon, figure I've picked up a ton of bad habits by now. I listen to just about all types of music. It's pretty rare for me to not have music playing. Used to go to concerts all the time, but haven't had a chance to go them as much as I used to lately. I'm a big animal person in general. Used to have a rescue dog of my own that I unfortunately lost back at the end of October. She meant the world to me and I'm still feeling the loss of that today, but every day gets a little bit easier. I'm sure I'll get another pet eventually, but it just doesn't feel like the right time for that yet. Just need time to get there still.

About seven months into a new fitness journey and loving it so far. Been focusing a lot on getting into the gym and weight lifting and it's been going amazing so far. Really excited to keep going with it. Used to be a distance runner but some injuries got in the way of that, and I do miss doing it a lot. Might try to get back into running eventually, but mostly have to play that by ear right now. Liking the time at the gym a whole lot so far though! Honestly been getting pretty addicted to the feeling of progress and all that with lifting now that I made a habit out of it. Always look forward to my gym days at this point! Started mixing in some cycling on my rest days and that's been going great so far, too. Used to mountain bike a few years ago so thinking about starting that up again!

Anyways, would love to find someone to spend time with, and hopefully develop a relationship with if things go well! I'm totally okay with a distance thing as long as the other person is, figure that's something that can be figured out down the line if things go well.
