F4M 31F VA: Looking for something real

Playful and nerd-friendly; 31, curious, affectionate, and always down to overanalyze a movie plot, lose track of time in a bookstore, or debate which fictional universe has the best world-building.
I like smart men with kind hearts and enduring faith, good banter, and at least one mildly obsessive hobby. Bonus points if you can explain something niche with genuine enthusiasm - I think that is very attractive.
Looking for someone 32-40 who wants a real connection, cozy nights in, spontaneous little adventures, and the kind of relationship where we are best friends, teammates, and each other's favorite notification. Preferably only those in Virginia, as long distance doesn’t work for me.

Don’t be shy; I will reply to all messages respectfully so please return the favor in kind 😊
