I'm drawn to people who find small talk as unbearable as I do. Who are curious about the world and confident enough to admit what they don't know. The kind who'd rather have one exceptional meal than three mediocre ones, who know that good things take time.

I have strong opinions about pasta (homemade, obviously) and whether Young Frankenstein holds up (it does). I like talking about AI and where it's all heading, why certain languages structure thought differently, whether Göbekli Tepe changes everything we thought we knew about early civilization. I'm ridiculous and serious in equal measure, depending on the day.

I'm looking for people who are generous with their time and attention, who respond with reciprocity when planning adventures together. Someone who wants to try that new restaurant, visit a new city, maybe laugh until we're crying over something completely stupid.

If that sounds like you,
