28F looking for someone to slowly get to know.

​

I haven’t dated since I was 21. Life took me down a different road one of healing childhood wounds, self parenting, and intentionally becoming the kind of person I’d want to be as a future partner and parent. So I’d really appreciate patience as I gently re-enter this space.

I genuinely enjoy my own company and value solitude, but having someone I can talk with would be a beautiful addition. I enjoy both meaningful conversation and deep listening the kind where exchange feels natural, not forced.

I’ve never been into hookups. I value depth, intentionality, and genuine connection.

I’m drawn to people who enjoy long conversations about philosophy, classic literature, human nature, faith, purpose, poetry, and the quiet complexity of life. Someone curious, who reads, explores new ideas, and believes love is also about asking: “How can we grow together?”

If you’re emotionally mature, kind, thoughtful, and not afraid of meaningful conversation, we’ll likely get along.

I recently wrote something called “Sometimes People Leave You Holding Their Version of You.”

It’s about the strange heartbreak of being told to “work on yourself” by someone who already decided to walk away. About being treated like a project instead of a person. About how easy it is to start seeing yourself through someone else’s disappointment.

I think many people will quietly recognize themselves in it.

Not because the situations are identical, but because most of us have experienced what it feels like to question ourselves after someone leaves.

If you’ve ever struggled with feeling “too much,” emotionally unfinished, hard to love, or like someone reduced your humanity into something that needed fixing, maybe this piece will resonate with you.

I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts and experiences too.
