Coal country roots and real love

Age: 28
I'm thirty-three, my dad worked in the mines for thirty years, and I grew up understanding that love looks like showing up even when you're tired. I work as a teacher now, I live in Charleston but my roots are deeper in the hills, and I'm looking for someone who understands where I come from without me having to explain it. I'm loyal in a way that's almost stubborn, I forgive quickly but I don't forget, and I want a man who's honest about his own history. I don't need polished. I need real. Someone whose word means something, whose presence is consistent, and whose heart is bigger than his ego.
