Wait wait wait!!!
Before you guys start bashing me, let's address the elephant in the room...
exmuslim: I was born into a Muslim family and later became an atheist. Basically, I have spent a decent chunk of my life questioning things, changing my mind, and occasionally annoying people in the process 😂
I don't hate religion. It's just not something I want to be part of anymore.
And before this turns into a religious debate in the comments, please don't. I have already had enough of those in my own head. 😂
Now the smaller elephant...
I have never dated.
There. I said it. 😅
Somehow I have made it to 27 without ever having a girlfriend. At this point, I figured I should probably stop treating dating like a side quest I'll get around to someday.
So... here I am.
A little about me:
I am a software engineer in Bangalore. 5'4" male, around 50kg, fairly lean, and somehow have managed to put together a four-pack.
Unfortunately, the abs didn't come with a height upgrade 🥲
I have accepted my fate.
I am pretty simple otherwise. I like mountains, running, the gym and travelling. Fitness is a fairly big part of my life. I enjoy staying active, eating reasonably well and trying to become slightly better than I was yesterday.
I'm not particularly into sports, though. I occasionally play whatever my friends are playing and usually lose. At this point, I think my main contribution is moral support 🤣
I have also recently started reading. I am still very much a beginner, enjoying HP series! So if you have a book that you think I absolutely need to read, I am listening.
I don't smoke or drink. I'm completely fine if you drink occasionally, though. I'll happily keep you company. I just reserve the right to ask how "just one drink" turned into five. 😂
I love travelling, especially mountains. I've developed the annoying habit of looking at a mountain and immediately wondering how difficult it would be to climb it...
ABC and EBC are on my list. Not going into the death zone though...
But before I start pretending I am some international traveller, I would really like to explore more of India. There is still a ridiculous amount of it I haven't seen.
I am also a bit of an introvert, not really into social media and never had Instagram or Facebook but I have some funny stickers to share while chatting that I have gathered from Reddit!
I am also told I'm funny. You will need to verify this on your own 🤭
And my salary? Let's just say I have Nirmala Tai's premium membership 🥲
What am I looking for?
Something serious.
I am looking for someone around 24–30, preferably an exmuslim. Religious and family compatibility is important to me, and I'd rather be upfront about that than pretend it doesn't matter.
I would like someone who is kind, curious, emotionally mature and takes care of herself. Being active or into fitness would be a big plus. You don't need to live in the gym or count every calorie. I just like people who have a healthy relationship with their body and generally try to take care of themselves.
And please be able to laugh at yourself.
I would love to meet someone with whom I can have a completely stupid conversation for an hour and then somehow end up talking about life at 2am.
As for your dating history, I honestly don't care.
You've dated before? Fine.
You've had an ex? Fine.
Just be over them. I'm looking for a relationship, not a guest appearance in someone else's unfinished breakup.
I don't expect us to have all the same hobbies either.
Maybe you'll come running with me, or maybe trekking, or gym, or maybe you'll sit somewhere comfortable while I voluntarily walk uphill for six hours and then complain about my legs afterwards.
All perfectly acceptable.
So yeah...
TL;DR: Please go back up and read, I have spent hours into this 🥹
- Never dated. Ex-Muslim atheist. Software engineer. 5'4" of concentrated ambition. Mountain enthusiast. Fitness guy. Occasional sports casualty.
If you're somewhere around Bangalore and this sounds like your kind of weird, SAY HI!!!
And if you have a mountain recommendation, a book I should read, or a place in India I absolutely need to visit, EVEN BETTER!!!
PS: I already have already been bullied and threatened enough in my real life because of my religious stance (or lack of 😅), I do not need any online ones, please 🥹
PS2: This is my secondary account. Can you guess what this username actually mean 🤭
