Posting here and trying again pretty please. I'm a 32F teacher who recently moved to the US and I’m still building my circle. According to my middle school students, I'm a "baddie," (but also a beta) which I'm choosing to interpret as a confident adult who knows the meaning of “6-7, final boss”, and that title actually came from one of my students, see reference: https://imgur.com/a/iVmVq87

Outside of grading papers and being roasted by 13-year-olds, I like:

* cooking (my roommate says she’s gaining weight by living with me bc of how good the cooking is 👀)
* hiking with reasonable wildlife to human ratios 😅
* deep conversations about random life stuff (i.e. humanitarian and sustainability efforts in different third world/developing countries lol)
* learning, I really enjoy studying random things, and the nerdiest thing I want is to go on a library date 🙈

Not looking for anything chaotic or intense but hopefully something real, I am very much romantic and want to fall in love, slow burn style. I'm just genuinely interested in meeting interesting, kind people and seeing if we click as friends first. Strictly monogamous. I'm 153 cm tall, and a southeast asian non-resident alien (so a foreigner) for tax purposes if that matters, and if it’s a dealbreaker lol. I would say I am midsize leaning plus size for my height, enjoy walking and hiking, and have typical southeast asian features (dark hair, eyes, brown-ish skin).

If you made it this far and you're around my age, respectful, and can handle teacher humor, say hi. Please don’t be under 23, that’s the lower limit for me—upper I don’t really care haha, I don’t mind older women.
