Hello! I'm here looking for the usual -- lasting connection and romance with a soft, gentle daddy who wants everything. I know what I want and I'm hoping I can find it here. 

Here's what I offer: earnest affection and care, deep devotion (once I'm in, I'm all in), and kindness. I know I'm submissive, though I'm not very experienced. I'm a fast learner, though, and I try my best. I tend to land on the sweeter and softer side of things, and I really to make people happy. In general, I prefer to accept people as they are. 

My disposition: I'm fairly optimistic, happy with my life, and I really enjoy learning new things. I'm passionate about my career in academia and genuinely find pleasure in my work. I spend most of my time outside of work reading, volunteering, hiking, walking, trying to get back into running, working on my hobbies and crosswords, and spending time with my lovely family and friends. I try to be intentional in my life and spend a lot of time thinking about what it means to live a good life and be a good person. 

One thing that I've learned is critical for me in a relationship is intellectual connection. I need that for the rest of it to fall into place. Well thought out messages make me swoon. Historically, I've been especially attracted to academics or people in human services (think social workers, nurses, etc.) who read a lot, and who read widely. Of course, that's not a hard requirement or anything, just a pattern that I've noticed. 

I'm looking for someone who I connect with, who sees me and allows me to see them. I tend to do best with a patient and gentle dom, specifically a daddy dom, who is okay with starting slowly. Some basics: I want to have kids and build a family eventually, I'm not religious, I don't really use social media, I don't do drugs, and I lean left politically. It would be difficult to establish a relationship without those areas aligning. I also don't drink, though I don't mind that within reason. I appreciate voice messages and voice calls and regular communication. 

I haven't mentioned kinks yet, I know. Suffice it to say, I have them and am curious about many. I would be happy to discuss in depth once there's a bit of a connection. 

I'm on the western side of the United States, so Pacific time works very well, but I'm open to the rest of the United States and perhaps even internationally if you think there's a chance it could work. Though if you're in any major city along the West Coast such as San Francisco, Portland, Los Angeles, Seattle, etc., things would be logistically easier. 

Well, I'm terrible at being concise. That's not unusual for me, though. Anyway, if this all resonates, I would love to hear from you.
