I’ve been living in the U.S. for about four years now. I work in the medical field, trying to build a stable life, doing what I thought I was supposed to do—focus on career, responsibilities, and the future.

And I did.

But somewhere along the way, I realized something feels… missing.

I built the life, but I forgot to find someone to share it with.

I tried dating apps, but honestly, they haven’t worked for me. There aren’t many Pinoys where I am, and most of the time it just feels forced or empty. So here I am, posting this instead—just putting it out there.

I don’t even know if this is the right place, but I guess I just needed to say it somewhere.

I’m 36M. Introverted. More of a homebody. I enjoy simple things—cooking, grocery runs, playing guitar sometimes, just being at home and at peace. I’m not the type who dates around just to pass time. For me, if I date, it’s because I see something real.

Lately, I’ve been thinking more about companionship. Not just having someone, but having my person. Someone I can come home to. Someone I can build a life with—not just financially, but emotionally too.

My dad keeps asking me when he’ll have an apo. I just laugh it off most of the time, but deep down, I think about it too.

I guess this post is just me admitting that I’m ready for that part of life now. And maybe a little bit of hope that somewhere out there, there’s someone looking for the same thing.

If not… at least I got this off my chest.
