Hello!
Dating apps never really felt right for me. People there move too fast, focus too much on looks and there's not enough space to show who you really are. For me, connection matters the most. Ofc, attraction matters too, but what makes me stay is emotional closeness, honesty, effort and feeling like we're choosing each other. I care a lot about how two people make each other feel... safe, valued, wanted, important, loved. I'm not looking for someone exactly like me, as I don't think people need to be the same to be compatible. So sharing all hobbies is not as important as emotional compatibility.
I'm looking for someone who wants something serious and is consistent and puts effort into building and keeping (!) a connection alive. Someone who can communicate openly, handle honest conversations and even initiate them, and makes time for the relationship and doesn't treat it like it's just something convenient to have. I don't want to feel like just an afterthought in someone's mind. I'm looking for someone who is affectionate, as words of affirmation matter to me, and values quality time (yes, quality>quantity). I'd like to meet with someone who has their own life, friends and hobbies, but still knows how to make their person feel important, as I don't want to be the center of anyone's world, but I do really appreciate feeling like I'm on their priority list. Someone who takes pride in himself and takes care of his appearance (not in an "obsessed" way, just someone who is clean, well kept and puts some thought into how they present themselves). So this is not about conventional attractiveness, just working with what we all have. Most importantly, I'm looking for someone who is emotionally mature, takes initiative and has the time and capacity for a connection.
To be fair, everything I'm looking for here is something I give back. So here's me.
I'm someone who's kind, emotionally mature, independent, caring, loyal and softer than I seem at first. I strive to be a better person every day. I'm the kind of person who puts real effort into people I care about. Some days are harder than others, but at my core I'm warm, loving and I'd love to be someone's sunshine and have them be mine too. I'm a bit of a homebody these days, as my current hobbies are mainly a little bit of gaming, crocheting and painting, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy going out, traveling, and new experiences. I do want kids someday, but not anytime soon. I'd rather build something strong at first and let life happen naturally. I think physical appearance matters, so I'd rather be open about that from the start. I'd love the same openness back and would prefer swapping photos early on, just so we both know there's mutual attraction and can move forward naturally from there. I also really like video calls, even if it's just a short call at the end of the day, that kind of connection means a lot to me. I like feeling close and being part of each other's everyday life, even in small ways (but I do like texting back and forth).
As the title says, I'm from Hungary and I'm only looking within the EU. I do have some age preferences (25-32) but it is flexible if our long-term goals align.
