28 [M4F] Philadelphia/PA/NJ/Delaware/US- Tall softie seeks his forever love! Let's get matching PJs and have a cuddle date? Also open to friends/more casual!

I am open to something casual but would prefer something with potential to be long term.

Good morning/afternoon/evening/whenever this post may find you, and may it find you well! I'm a pretty standard young man looking for a young lady to spend the rest of my days with. I've known that I've wanted this since I was a young kid and over 20 years later I'm still after it! I know these things can be a chore to read through so I'm "quickly" gonna go through who I am and who I hope you are! I tried to break this post up into easy to read lists as best I could without leaving out important info so it's not just a wall of text. With that out of the way...

About me:

• Born and raised in the suburbs about 45 minutes outside the city of Philly. This place will always be home to me, but I've decided that I don't want it to be home forever. Barring any drastic changes, I would like to EVENTUALLY relocate elsewhere within the US, ideally to a colder climate (I've had Minnesota circled for a while now but I'm open to other ideas!). I have no problem staying in the general area either, I just need to get out of my hometown.
• Physically, I stand at around 6'1-6'2, 285 pounds. I know that may sound bad, but I have a big frame and it fits me quite nicely! Think bigger NFL player (O-line, tight end, etc). I've also started going to the gym in an effort to get into better shape. I've got broad shoulders and a nice chest, perfect for use as a pillow during cuddles! I've also got a lot of body hair so hopefully you're cool with that! I have short brown hair that's thick and fluffy, and tend to keep my face clean shaven.
• My hobbies are the typical nerdy stuff, video games (PC, Steam Deck & Switch 2, ask me about my animal crossing island!), legos, collecting plushes, and adding to my ever expanding pajama drawer! I'm always down to get into new things though! Also a big Philly sports fan (I promise we're not as crazy as the internet makes us seem!).
• I'm generally more on the shy and reserved side, but once I open up I can be a yapper. Communication is super important to me, both for relationships and life in general, be that talking about an issue that needs to be resolved or just random things. I also love just talking while cuddling, being either the talker or the listener if one of us is yapping. I also am VERY much a homebody and prefer to stay in and relax.
• I currently work part/full time at a grocery store. It's not my favorite thing in the world but I've been there a while and figure just stick to what I know. I'm currently also enrolled as a student at my local community college going for an associate's degree in business! While both of these pursuits keep me quite busy, I have no issue making time as needed.
• Huge on creativity! I love creative writing and am currently working on my own comic book universe!
• As far as physical intimacy goes, I'd say that I'm extremely affectionate. Absolutely love to give hugs and kissing just makes me feel complete in a way that nothing else really does. Also just generally love all kinds of physical touch! (We can discuss bedroom stuff if we click!)
• Sapio and Demisexual! Mental and emotional connections are important before physical!
• I'm an open book, so if there's something here you haven't seen that you're curious about, feel free to ask!

A quick list of some "accomplishments" by yours truly:

• 5th place runner up at the 23rd semi-bi-annual Cave Johnson Science Fair
• Posthumously awarded a purple heart after 2 tours in Vietnam
• Low-score bowling with bumpers regional champion 3 years in a row
• 100% winrate against myself in rock paper scissors
• Finalist to be on "America's Comfiest White Boy"

And a few potential red flags just so you're not shocked about anything:

• If at all possible, I want to go no contact with pretty much my entire family aside from my siblings eventually. I can also struggle a bit with meeting parents (though I've really only done so twice so maybe I've gotten better at it), so if you're not on great terms with yours either that's fine with me.
• I spend a LOT of time at home if I'm not working. It's not that I don't enjoy going out, I just have anxiety about going places by myself (especially if it's somewhere I've never been on my own).
• I am a work in progress on multiple fronts. I have been a work in progress for a long time. I have only really started making legit progress in the last year or so but I feel like I do have a pretty clear path forward at this point. I still believe I am worthy and deserving of love even if I'm not yet the best version of myself.

As for you, you are:

• 24-34. Not budging on this range by more than a year. The closer to 29 the better!
• Childfree (this means you neither have NOR want children. This is non-negotiable.)
• Want to find someone to spend forever with (marriage preferred)
• monogamous
• Cis AFAB woman. Very sorry to my AFAB enbies and trans girlies (and AMAB enbies and trans guys for that matter), love ya, I will always be an ally in the fight to be who you are without fear but y'all are just not for me romantically speaking.)
• close enough to whereabouts I'm at so we can see each other regularly
• NOT a smoker! I'm 420 friendly but I take eddies. Cigs are a hard pass. Social drinker too! (Mostly fruity cocktails)
• By no means a necessity, but I tend to get along best with Italians and bisexuals! Not exactly sure why, that's just kind of how it's worked out over the years.
• If you happen to be taller than me, that's a huge plus!

And that's all I've got! I'm happy to exchange pics once the conversation gets rolling a bit and there's some chemistry. I hope to hear from you soon! Please give your ASL and a brief intro about yourself!
