I'm 44, divorced and convinced there's more to life than just long days at the office. My son is grown, married and lives out of state. The nest is empty. That leaves me with a lot of time on my hands to spend building something special with that special someone.He's someone who's not afraid to be himself, speak what he feels or run from a challenge. He'll be honest, open minded, humorous, witty, intelligent, and disciplined. Strong arms for cuddling are a big plus. I tend to be cautious with my heart but that's because it's been hurt a time or two. Since you're here as well, I'm guessing you've "been there/done that" and understand. It's not a race- it's a journey and I want to savor each moment along the way. Some of the things I enjoy are comedy clubs, walks on a moonlit beach, thunderstorms, sharing wine by the fire or a bowl of popcorn while snuggled on the couch; BBQ's with friends are great and so are lazy Sunday mornings, reading a good book, flea markets and garage sales. I also like my down time and certainly won't begrudge you for liking yours. Only those looking for the possibility of building something strong and real, need reply. Please be willing to take the time to get to know the lady before expecting to learn too much about the woman. I'm so much more than a booty call!
