St. Petersburg, Florida
Dave: Active, Curious, and Seeking Real Connection.
Skip the endless loop of dating app swiping. This is a multi-dimensional look at my life in St. Petersburg, what I value, and the kind of long-term partnership I am looking to build.
The basics
About me
Life in St. Pete
By day, I build software designed to simplify complex systems—a career that satisfies my deep love for logic, problem-solving, and continuous learning. But when the laptop closes, my lifestyle shifts entirely outdoors. You will typically find me navigating a clear-bottom kayak around Shell Key Preserve, practicing at the St. Pete Shuffleboard Club, or hunting down the best street food at the Sunday Wat Tampa market.
I value intellectual curiosity, emotional maturity, and the ability to laugh when things do not go exactly according to plan.
I am looking for a partner who is genuinely excited about building a deep, long-term connection. You are likely someone who is highly self-aware, pursues your own passions with intensity, and enjoys deep, probing conversations over a clean cup of coffee at Bad Mother or a rooftop drink at The Canopy. Physical attraction is essential, but mutual curiosity and a shared desire for growth are what keep a relationship vibrant over time.
Favorite first-date spots
- Bad Mother — downtown coffee
- The Canopy — rooftop at Birchwood
- Juno & The Peacock — Beach Drive
- St. Pete Shuffleboard Club — Friday nights

What matters to me
These aren't walls — they're honest boundaries that help us both save time.
I'm looking for a committed, long-term partnership—not casual dating.
