32[F4M] California/Anywhere - Summer fling and beyond for a hopeful romantic.

I just want to find the person, who I lock eyes with across the dive bar, making an instant connection, while a banger plays, and we flirt and fall in love, all before closing time. But alas I’ll settle for Reddit in hopes of a mediocre meet cute and a solid long term connection with dreams of meeting in the dive bar.

I am as the title says from California, likely not where you think or hope I am - I’m on the central coast. I’m easy going, friendly, silly, adventurous, loud at times, quiet at others. Flirty occasionally, funny, blunt, honest, quirky and marginally sassy.

I’m an incredibly positive realist, so if you’re incredibly negative we likely won’t be a match long term. If you love to laugh, flirt and have silly little conversations about life and music, and the reason your high school girl friend broke your heart.

I want LONG TERM connection, if you fall off the planet by the end of the evening with person here you are not for me. I want someone excited to talk to me, tomorrow, next week and on.

I love:

•hotdogs

•live music.

•the same pair of b&w checkered vans even though I have like 30 pairs of other vans and a billion other shoes.

•iced coffee all year long.

•dive bars.

•taking over a touch tunes.

•collecting new tattoos

•yelling at the tv when my baseball, football or hockey team are on.

•waking up at 4am for the gym

•trying new things and failing at them badly

•acquiring concert tickets with no pre plan.

•creating stained glass

Unfortunately I don’t love: anime, video games, or intricate board games. Don’t mesh with those who do as a main hobby or personality trait.

5’6 on the thick side. Can’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but I can be a very specific man’s bud heavy.
https://imgur.com/a/OPCxyEA I have over the last year added quite a few tattoos so while there are different versions of me in there none of those photos are more than a year old. If I’m not your type - move along.

What am I seeking: in a perfect world you read what I love and thought - now this, this is my dream girl. And we ride off into the sunset. I however am practical and cool long term conversation would be rad too. I don’t respond to “hey” or “hi” type messages. Effort gets effort. Ages ~27-45. My types all over the place - universally I appreciate confidence, good style and humor.
