Nerdy Ambivert Seeks Longterm Romantic Connection

Hello there! I'm Jess, a regular member based in the PNW, USA. I'm making this post because I'm ultimately looking for some romance and friendship (preferably together). I've met lots of folks on here and it's been a blast, but I want to find someone that is interested in a long-term, monogamous relationship.

So how about myself? Well, there's my age and location but I've got a variety of interests and honestly not enough money or time to do all the things I want to do. But here's a glimpse:

**Reading**: This is a big one for me! I enjoy reading and am currently trying to get through a big stack of my library holds. Currently going through *The Terror* by Dan Simmons. Last read was *Emma* by Jane Austen and the next read is likely going to be *Harrow the Ninth* by Tasmin Muir, though I definitely need to add a light romance to the list as I've been reading a lot of tomes.

**Travel**: Also something I enjoy doing! I'm originally from the East Coast so I do travel back there quite a bit to see family and friends, but I'm also usually planning some fun trips. Last big one was to the UK in fall 2025. I'd really like to go to Japan next year as well as some more local long-weekend spots. Maybe also try some hiking.

**Music**: Well, there's a mix there for sure but I try to go to a couple concerts a year -- both big names and local stuff! I've got tickets for Noah Kahan this summer and I can't wait, even though it's not going to be like seeing him in Fenway. Current other obsession at the moment is Djo, but all-time faves include Jamie Cullum and McFLY.

**TV and Movies**: I'm mostly a big procedural fan (currently binging NCIS), but recently watched The Mary Tyler Moore Show as I do love TV from 60s-80s. Psych, Murder She Wrote, Ontario 5-0, Magnum P.I., are on the top of the list. Also a big fan of British Panel Shows (QI, 8 out of 10 Cats), The West Wing, The IT Crowd, and probably some other obscure TV that pops up. Favorite Movies include When Harry Met Sally, the LotR trilogy, Free Guy, and CasablanOntario. I watch 'em all at least once a year if not more.

**Other Hobbies**: In addition to everything else I've listed, I really enjoy pub trivia (I go weekly with a regular group), swing dancing, attempting to play some video games, trying out new restaurants, nature walks, hanging out with friends, and theatre.
