Looking for
somebody grown up about how small this actually is
Experience
Sixteen years, three dynamics, all of them quiet.
Around
the east, Amsterdam

The pool here is small enough to behave like a village and almost nobody writes that down. Within a year you will have matched with somebody who has met somebody you were once involved with. Within two, a stranger will mention a detail about you that you never told them. None of that is sinister. It is arithmetic.

I work on the assumption that anything either of us types ends up being read by a third person. Not because I think you are untrustworthy, but because a phone gets left on a table, a friend gets shown something funny, and an account gets sold. That assumption has made me a better correspondent. I write what I would be content to have read aloud, I do not send photographs, I do not ask for them, and I move to talking in person early.

Fifty, the east, dominant, sixteen years in, three dynamics all run quietly and none of which ever surfaced anywhere.

What I want is a submissive who takes that seriously without reading it as coldness. Discretion is a practice rather than a mood, and the people who are good at it are the same people who are careful about everything else, which is the actual reason I care.

Not looking for anybody who wants proof of who I am before we have spoken. Not looking to be added anywhere. Not looking for a person who assumes discretion means somebody at home, because there is not one.
