I deleted the last dating app from my phone two months ago and my screen time immediately improved.

I'm 26, working in finance in Gurgaon. Born in Delhi, raised between Delhi and Chandigarh because of my father's job. I'm Punjabi, vegetarian, 5'4”, and probably more introverted than my profession allows me to be.

My interests are embarrassingly ordinary. Coffee, crime shows, skincare, late-night drives, old Hindi songs, and occasionally pretending I'm going to become a gym person.

I'm not looking for a male version of myself. Different interests are completely fine. What I do want is someone respectful, funny without being cruel, and secure enough to not turn every disagreement into an ego competition.

I prefer people close to my age, maybe 26-31. North India would obviously be convenient, but I won't reject a good conversation because of a pin code.

Please don't open with questions about salary, marriage timeline or “send pic”.
