I made a dating profile for the first time in a long while, and I lost interest after a couple days. I hate the normal "let's go out for a meal" first dates, and bars are definitely not my thing.
I used to like hiking or walks on the beach. It's a nice shared activity in a place that naturally makes me feel at peace
