Since You’re Curious
Somewhere between playful and poised. Affectionate, teasing, thoughtful, and very present, I value discretion, mutual respect, and time together that feels easy rather than rehearsed.
I genuinely enjoy getting to know you. Travel, food, art, unusual hobbies, ambitious ideas, the project you can’t stop talking about- if something lights you up, I’ll probably want to hear about it.
A Few Things I Love.
My usual order — A chai latte with espresso when I want something cozy. If we’re having cocktails, make mine a spicy skinny margarita with mezcal if the bar has it.
What I like to eat — Mediterranean or Italian. Bonus points for somewhere with great food and an even better dessert. I have a weakness for cinnamon rolls.
What’s in my glass — Cabernet, preferably from Napa Valley.
Where I like to disappear to — Chicago in the U.S. because it gives me food, culture, art, and enough mystery to make a whole day feel complete. Internationally, making me choose between Europe, Turks & Caicos, and Mexico City feels unfair.
Beach or mountains? — Why can’t I have both? I love hiking, but I’ll happily snorkel too.
An ideal free afternoon — A gym session, a nice lunch, then a walk through town with nowhere I absolutely need to be.
What you’ll hear on my playlist — R&B like Ari Lennox and Victoria Monét, classical, and newer rap like Doja Cat & Kendrick Lamar.
My favorite color — Anything with glitter. Yes, I know that technically isn’t a color.
What I collect — Memories. They’re the best kind of collection because you get to keep telling the stories.
Currently wondering… — Why everyone stands up the second the plane lands when none of us are going anywhere yet.
What I Notice
I remember the little things — what you order, the story you told me in passing, the place you’ve always wanted to visit, or the detail that makes you light up when you talk about it.
What I Appreciate
Confidence without pretense, good manners, curiosity, a sense of humor, and someone who knows how to enjoy a moment without trying too hard to impress me.
