Here I am ... giving this on last try! I was away for a while, swore I would never come back, then I came back and was swiftly metaphorically punched in the face. I have a lot of time and energy to put on in the this. I get not everyone has as much time or energy as I have .. but let's make a deal ... If either of us are losing interest just say it and we can both amicably move along! Few things worse here than making an amazing initial connection, then feeling like you're pulling teeth with someone a couple of days later just to keep the conversation going.

Ok now that I got that off my chest ... I'm ready to find what I'm looking for.

I'm 42, live right on the Ohio and PA border equal distance to Pittsburgh, Erie, and Cleveland. I'm hoping to find someone within a 3-4 hour drive of one of those cities. I've tried the ultra long distance thing in the past and it just doesn't work out for what I'm looking for.

I love to travel ... I have a very flexible job that involves setting my own schedule and often overnight travel, so getting away for frequent meetups and even a possible overnight is very easy for me.

I'm a huge romantic. I need that crazy passionate kind of romance back in my life ... The butterflies, the longing for someone, the excitement of getting a new message or sneaking away for a phone call or video chat, late night conversations about everything and nothing! I'm here for it all!

I'm not into open relationships or polyamory. I'm here because I'm stuck in a miserable marriage that I'm not quite ready to ruin my kid's childhood over. I'm hoping to find something long term and exclusive with someone in a similar situation ... Dead bedroom preferred (separate bedrooms here so I'm always available to talk even late!). I'm not looking for short term hookups. I am hoping for a physical relationship with the right person, but we need to be able to talk about more than just sex ... My needs and the voids in my life extend way beyond sexual! That said ... Attraction and chemistry is very important!

I'm super outgoing, energetic, and adventurous. I'm hoping for someone who can match energy levels. I do love the outdoors, so someone who can keep up with me on a hike is fairly important to me. Otherwise, I'm not perfect and am not seeking perfection either. I'm 5'10", blonde hair that's turning a little gray, and green eyes. I take care of myself and work out but also love delicious food and craft beer.

Would love to hear from anyone interested ... I will be around 😉
