I want to have fun with great people, and I think most people are great which
means I want to have fun with just about everyone. I enjoy being very intimate
with people, both physically and conversationally. It is not actually that
important in my books to have known each other for a long time or at all. As
long as you can open up in that moment we will have fun. And if we find it hard
to open up, well, hopefully we'll be glad we tried and better luck next time.
Along these lines, I tend to not be a very attached person. I like doing
"relationship-y things" in general, so why restrict myself to one (or more)
person? I don't see the need to define a group of people who I am in a
relationship with versus those who haven't entered the circle yet, as long as
everyone involved understands and agrees with that. Before I do anything that
most people would consider "relationship-y" I sit down and have a conversation
with them to make sure we both agree what our friendship is going to look like.
I don't really differentiate between a friendship and a romantic relationship
because I am friends with the people I'm romantically attracted to and I'm
romantically attracted to most of my friends (and many strangers).

In addition, I find most people consider a relationship to be a promise that
they are available as emotional support and expect the same in return. However,
I really dislike the expectation of emotional support aspect of relationships
because I find it very draining over long periods of time. I find that I enjoy
emotionally intense conversations and I am happy to be able to help if someone
would like to talk about something. But I cannot handle being someone's sole
emotional support because it is too much pressure and too draining for me to do
over a long period of time (more than ~6 months at a time). I've found
historically that at the beginning of a relationship I can have a lot of
consecutive emotionally supportive conversations, but after a few months I tend
to be stressed out by them and end up distancing myself which isn't really fair
for the other person. As a result I like having emotional discussions with lots
of different people, the more variety the better. It's more sustainable for me
in the long term and results in higher quality communication overall.

So, if you are a person who likes having fun with a friend (be it over dinner or
over a mattress) feel free to hit me up! I'm open to trying just about anything.
If you like to be immediately physically intimate, great. If you just want to
make out and cuddle, that's also great. I'm also down to grab some dinner have a
chat if you like. And we could always play it by ear too. I take a "Two Cakes"
approach to friendships/relationships and I look forward to sharing some cake
with you! : )

TL;DR: I don't really do regular committed relationships, but if you want to
do relationship-type-things with a friend then let me know!
