Please read this carefully before messaging me. If you're far away, under 40, or can't send a thoughtful introduction, I won’t respond. I’m not here to waste time, and I expect the same courtesy in return.

I’m a 52-year-old married woman based in the DC area. While not in a dead bedroom, it’s certainly an undead or zombie bedroom—lacking intimacy, spark, excitement, and frequency. I’m seeking a connection with someone who truly understands the delicate balance of maintaining real-life priorities while cultivating a meaningful secondary relationship. If this resonates with you, and you meet the following criteria, I’d love to hear from you:

What I’m Looking For:

• Local Presence: You should be within an hour of the DC area. Proximity is key to building something authentic.
• Age Compatibility: Ideally, you’re in a similar age range (40s–60s). Shared life experiences and maturity matter.
• Married & Understanding: I’m looking to connect with someone who’s also married. Shared circumstances make for a safer, more empathetic dynamic.
• Experience with APs: If you’ve had an affair partner before, you’ll likely understand the complexities, boundaries, and nuances of this type of connection.
• Conversational Chemistry: Great conversations are vital. I’m seeking someone who engages thoughtfully and puts in equal effort to build a genuine rapport.

A Little About Me:

My turn-ons include black cats, skulls, thorny roses, bats, ghosts, old graveyards, and Victorian homes.

My turn-offs? People who don’t brush their teeth, Trump supporters, oatmeal, the word “gotcha,” and that “Kars for Kids” radio commercial (you’re hearing it in your head now, aren’t you? Sorry!).

What to Include in Your Message:

If you think we might connect, send me a message with:

• Your age
• Your location
• A brief but thoughtful introduction about yourself and why you’re reaching out.

Low-effort messages, thread replies, or anything generic will be ignored. I’m only interested in connecting with someone who values and respects this process.

Thank you for reading, and I look forward to seeing if we can create something special.
