32 Ontario. For those who think Hell doesn't exist, it does! It's dating for the first time in your 30s.

/s.

But no, seriously. It is. Everyone who has been in a relationship for a long time has so much advice to give you about what not to say or do.

*Oh, definitely don't talk about the fact that you're divorced and lonely, that's not attractive!*

*Be your best self and do all the things you love and the right person will come along!!*

*You just don't know how to sell yourself! Nobody wants to read a giant wall of text! You gotta be brief!*

Well, I don't really believe that's true. I don't really think my soulmate is gonna come walking through my door at 3am when I'm queueing up for my 10th game in a row of league of legends in my pajamas wondering if enough time has passed so I can think about eating again, or if there's any stores that might be open. It's just not in the cards!

It's funOntario, my mom was trying to tell me where I should meet girls in my smallish oceanside college town:

*Teachers! School teachers are a good place to look! They spent all their time studying and were too busy for boys in college, that's a perfect place to look!*

I just looked back at her like
and was like yeah? Do I just cruise on in on back-to-school night and start hitting on teachers? Nah, I don't have a student in your class, I'm here for you babe. *finger guns*.

Now that we've agreed that dating in your thirties is obnoxious, let's get down to brass tacks. I'm here on this site looking for someone awesome to spend my time with, and hopefully start a family with. It's cliché to say here *lol why am I looking on this site of all places hehe* but we all know why we're here. This is the target demographic for people like us. Nerdy dorks who like playing games. At least, that's what I am. I'd hope you are too. Feel free to peep my last post for some more thoughts. After receiving some very nice replies of encouragement and advice from some lovely women on here, I'm back again with a more focused approach.

A tiny bit about me: tall, likes board and video games, interesting conversations about REAL topics, quite active. I like long hikes (10 or more miles) up big hills and shit. I would like to think I'm a good mix of couch potato and active guy. I'm very close to being 'fit' for the first time in my life. I fuckin went to the gym 5x this week, hell yeah! I cook, I've been working on meal prep, I have lots of friends here, I own a house etc etc. I'm cool, I promise ;_;
