I am asking for months of talking and nothing else, for now

Posted as months_of_nothing, 4 September 2026

Looking for
somebody who finds the slow version interesting rather than frustrating
Experience
None. Five months on the app and nothing done with it.
Around
North York, Toronto

What I am asking for is unusual enough to belong in the first line. I would like to spend several months talking to somebody and doing nothing at all. No meeting with anything attached to it. Conversation, questions, and time.

Thirty six, North York, five months on this app and nothing done with it, which I am told is common and which nobody seems to say out loud.

The reason is practical rather than nervous. My job takes me out of the country for two or three weeks at a stretch on about a fortnight's notice, and beginning something physical on that schedule seems unfair to whoever is on the other end of it. What I can do reliably is write, at length, and think about it in between.

What I know about myself: I want to be given rules. Not punishment and not theatre. Rules with a reason behind them, which somebody actually checks. I have wanted that since long before I knew it had a name, and I have never told a single person.

I am hoping for somebody experienced who finds the slow version interesting rather than frustrating, and who understands that at some point I would like this to become real, only not next month.

I am not asking to be taught for free and then to disappear. If it works, I want it to last years.

The travel is my job and it pays for my life. It is not an obstacle to be negotiated away.

If this one reads like your own head rather than somebody to answer, the tactics can wait. These three all happen before there is a first match to get wrong.
