44 [M4F] #EST / #NC - Friend w/ Benefits wanted!

Like many others lurking on Reddit, I've found myself in a dead bedroom/best friend relationship at home. I miss the good morning & good night, the I miss you and can't stop thinking about you messages & much more! I want to be wanted and desired by my person. Someone fun, flirty and able to hold a conversation. I would prefer something long-term with 1 person. I'm not here looking for an exit plan, just wanting to supplement what's missing for both of us.

I'm 5'11, HWP, hazel eyes, trimmed beard & shaved head. I have a few tattoos, southern accent and cuss a lot. I'm dominant in/out of the bedroom and love to flirt. I am looking for regular communication including pictures, voice messages & phone/video calls (when we can)! Discretion is crucial and promised in return. I have the time and availability for this and you should as well! I am perfectly ok with feelings developing between us and would love a relationship with someone that includes the emotional aspects too.

Please be in/close to the EST time zone (I'm in NC). I will want to eventually move to Tele for easier communicating.
