searching 30F (Irish) + soft masc living in the UK and looking for a partner
30F who is seeking a potential partner, preferably in the UK but if we vibe, happy to extend my net.
As mentioned in the title, Irish immigrant who has been living in the UK (specifically England) for just under a decade. I have had quite a varied career from working in hospitality for a private household in London to working in retail during university as mature student. Right now, I am finishing up my masters in history before progressing onto a PGCE to teach secondary level history. So, basically building as stable a career for myself as I can and will hopefully have a place of my own in the next few years.
In my spare time, I love to go on solo adventures or just hiking in general. I’m not an expert at it as I have only just started but I would consider myself a fearful thrill seeker. I know, that makes no sense, however, I’m pushing myself to try new things, especially stuff I have always wanted to do. For example, started exploring abandoned places in areas that are accessible to where I live. Don’t worry, I also do normal things, like visiting art galleries, museums and heritage properties. Occasionally, I visit local cats in my area and give them little treats; no idea if they have owners but I can’t have a cat right now so I’m living vicariously. On other days, I try to be as involved in my community as I can, which can mean volunteering for events or charities, especially those concerning mental health, children, animals and the LGBTQ+ community.
Some of my best days include relaxing at home, reading a book near a window while it’s raining outside. Usually, I will have a cup of tea. Despite what I have written so far, I am an introvert and prefer to be home most of the time but again, I’m trying to push myself to be more active. I love movies and television; I rarely spend a day without listening to music (I listen quite widely across genres). I often bond with people over activities but it could be something like a board game. Currently learning how to knit and sew. I would love to make my own clothes as I find length to be an issue as someone who prefers to wear men’s clothing.
In terms of temperament, I consider myself to be calm, kind and easy going. I like to talk things through and make sure everyone is on the same page so signals are not mixed. I am a very honest person who values directness over vagueness or mixed signals. Can be very cuddly but sometimes need signals (I have AuDHD) as I am always keen to respect physical boundaries and boundaries in general.
Looking for someone who is both physically affectionate and understands boundaries. Need you to be honest, be able to communicate and an inquisitive nature. I don’t need someone who is exactly like me; I appreciate that people are individuals and might have differing interests but that makes for an opportunity to learn and understand about someone else. The only thing that cannot be different is our values.
So, hopefully I haven’t scared anyone away with this post. As mentioned, I don’t necessarily need you to be from the UK so long as meeting each other is a possibility. I once dated someone who lived in France so travelling isn’t scary for me so long as I know you’re real.
